"Dear Bungie.net, we regret being stubborn bastards, we regret coming to this forum, and we most definitely regret that Darth Kooky blew up our raggedy-ass opinion!"

If you look really closely at the Sniper, previously thought of as Linda, you can tell that it is indeed a soldier almost identical to Romeo if not Romeo himself. The sniper is wearing an ODST helmet and there is that extra optics on Romeo's helmet. So either it's Linda with a specialized helmet or an ODST or even Romeo.

It is a Spartan.


I admit I was wrong after seeing that picture. Though like others said, the helmet will have a different variation. I think the only thing possible is that the two jutting out sections are removed so as to allow the Sniper's aide extra can move freely on the helmet without geting stuck in a useless place.


Now can someone explain how they know that Romeo wasn't on Reach. As far as I know it was never mentioned whether or not he was there.

Yeah but look at all the other characters, it looks like thier Spartans, and the Master Chief is in the middle

I still think it is Linda. So, her helmet looks a little different. Did you forget about all the perms?
Besides, the rest of her armor that is visible looks just like Mjolnir, especially the leg pieces.

I hunt for the Prophet of Contentment, the San 'Shyumm that murdered my son, and stole his birthright, his Energy Sword. They call our species Heretics. They claim to all that our tongues sting, our words a vile poison that feeds on the unworthy. I have seen the true face of Heresy. The head of a gallant warrior lay on the ground. His neck scorched and blistered, scarred by his own blade. I shall retrieve the weapon, and drive it through that bastard's heart! Punishment for his sins is nigh.

Actually, it is a Spartan helmet, if you look closely you can see that each Spartan has a slight variation on their helmets, this will likely be used to help players recognize separate characters throughout the game.

Completely agreed.

There are multiple Spartan helmets. This one has a flatend visor similar to and ODST's. Why would Bungie squeeze Romeo in there especially when he wasn't even on Reach?

Exactly! The helmet is the only thing that looks odd, everything else is Mjolnir.

He/she is prolly specialized at snipers. Which gives him that kind of googles mountet to their heads, prolly a mjolnir head. Like romeo, he is specialized at snipers and have that mountet to an ODST head.

Linda was never in the groudside battle anyways. She went EVA with John and James to destroy the Circumference's nav data. Linda was badly injured, John slapped her in a cryopod, and she took a free ride to Installation 04 and back. By the time she hit the dirt, Reach was nearly glassed and the battle was clearly lost.

Some of you might remember that Joshua was Red Team's scout and sniper, and he was very much involved in the battle for Reach.

It's not an ODST helmet. There is a spike on the top of the helmet.

  • 10.31.2009 7:37 AM PDT

Why are we losing?

Technically that doesn't mean it still can't be Linda. In the book the spartans actually do several missions without their Mjolnir armor, meaning they would probabley wear ODST armor. And her helmet could just be a modified version of the spartan helmet for snipers.

Why do people think it's Linda? Wouldn't a new Spartan character make more sense?

But I guess sense and the average Bungie forum-goer are mortal enemies.

and the Master Chief is in the middle
proof?

To OP: It might be; I wouldn't be surprised if for Reach Bungie has some levels as spartans and some as ODSTs. Only time (or Bungie, but probably not) will tell.

Here’s what Luke had to say about the differences in treatment between the Spartans and Elites in Reach:

“Instead of piece-by-piece customization like the Spartans, Elite customization is a full model swap with models selected from the various Elite classes appearing throughout the Campaign. There are all kinds of reasons for this, not the least of which is our continued emphasis on the Spartan as your identity in Reach.”

Prove it.

Oh, that's right, you can't.

It's a Spartan. Not Linda though, because that one is wearing Mark V and Linda didn't wear it except for 1 day for 15 minute space mission at Reach.
