Look, i've read all the books twice, and yes, John, Fred, Will, Kelly and Linda all survive, and ill bet that you'll fight with them in Halo 2.

But here's my question. In the first book, all of the remaining Spartans come together in a briefing room to recieve info on their mission to infiltrate a covie ship and their homeworld. However, it also says in one sentence:

"Assembled here tonight, are all the remaining Spartans save three, who are otherwise engaged in fields of combat to distant to be esaily recalled."
[Pg. 240, The Fall Of Reach]

Since Reach was only attack a few days later, I don't think those Spartans would have come back on time...so were they killed in action or what???

Yet, in The First Strike, the Chief marks all but the remaining Spartans (Linda, Kelly, Fred, Will and himself) as missing in action, which must include the three one who were far away...so what gives???

:D

nice one there... i never really thought of that. My guess is that because of the remaining spartans, you'll be able to play up to 4 player co-op. It'd be pretty insane on Legendary. I guess only time will tell.

"The way of the warrior is the path of shadow. The gift of the warrior is to percieve that which cannot be seen. The spirit of the warrior is to strike in a single moment. The destiny of the warrior is balance in all things. And when balance is lost... all that is left is the reckoning."

That's pretty cool to think about, but I wouldn't hold your breath. But wait, wouldn't that make 7 Spartans remaining...?
