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???

Master Chief suffered a blow to his head during his stay on Halo, so he is suffering from amnesia.
Or the author. He could also be suffering from amnesia.

Eric N made plenty of mistakes like in the third one they went onto the covie ship in a longsword but they refering back to it they called it a pelican

No, they also went in with the pelican that escaped from halo...I think it blasted the door open.

Cortana piloted the longsword as a target so the flagship could fire at it, temporarily lowering its shields so the pelican can slip in.

Yes, if I remember correctly they had the Chief's longsword and Polaski's pelican.

EDIT: Oops, never mind, they did use the longsword as a distraction.

Id love it if they had 4 player co op that actually had a story where your 3 comrades were those 3 missing Spartans, and they had a backstory. This would add a little more depth to the story and it would make sense instead of having 4 clone MC's
