Spartan 59 is dead. 59 was Malcom. If you've read First Strike you know he died when Red Team had to bail out of the Pelican in low orbit. He was pulverized on impact. Died when he hit the ground. So we dont play as Spartan 2-59, because he's dead.
First Strike is after the events of Fall of Reach. If the game is based on The Fall of Reach, like most people think it is, Malcolm would be alive.
However, to the people who are saying that he might be calling himself Sierra 2-59, they don't call themselves like that, if anything, he would say Sierra 2-059; that's just the way they say it.
Though I think that he might be a pelican pilot, refering to the fact that he has dropped off Spartans. He might just be using the formal 'We'. Sierra 320, on the other hand, not sure about, as only one pelican was sent to drop off the Spartans (Pretty sure).
Edit: Sorry, was he killed in the beginning of the book while it's still the fighting on Reach? If so, then forget what I said in the first paragraph.Wrong. The events of First Strike that pertain to the Spartans on the ground at Reach take place at the same time as Halo CE. The jump they made takes place during the Chiefs mission to the Orbital Dock, as when they're getting ready to jump, you hear "too many of them falling back", which is what the spartans said. And as to the sierra comment, while it isn't fact, but generally in halos universe Sierra is for the Spartans use, Sierra 177 translates to Spartan 117. And there were only 150 candidates, of which only 75 were chosen, ranging from 1-150, so I dont know where the extra numbers are coming from, unless they're just making a game, and not basing it on the books.
Did you even notice the edit?
And how do you know that 'Generally' Sierra means Spartan? How many times have you seen it used to name a Spartan? To people who think that Bungie wouldn't want to trick us by using Sierra, I concur. Why wouldn't they want to trick us? It's more likely that they are trying to trick us, none of us are right, and they are currently reading all of our posts about these two mysterious people, laughing hysterically.
