HI all,
Everyone says tht MC is the only Spartan alive, But in First Strike Fred, Will And Linda are alive and in the Gettysburg with The MC. Thy all are on their way to earth when the book ends.These 3 other Spartans dont die at all.Can anyone tell me whts goin on here? In halo 2 the new trailer thts in theaters, Tht also says MC is the only one alive. Why s tht so??

And by the way,When fred,will and Linda along with Dr.Catherine Halsey r fighting the camofaluged elites in the tunnels of the Reach CASTLE facility, Fred takes out a elite with only 3 shots from his new weapon(The battle Rifle). Will this possible in the game in legendary mode??

Cheers,

Well first off I'd like to thank you for spoiling the ending for all of the people who haven't read the book yet.

To your second question: we will only know come Halo 2.

I don't remember anything about an Eric. You sure about that one? I think you mean Fred. And put spoiler tabs up there somewhere.

pg 137 3rd paragraph: "The instant Kelly was out of the line of fire,Fred shouldered his rifle and squeezed the trigger.A three round burst caught th next elite and its shield sparkled and failed.It twiste away,clutching at the single round that had penetrated its chest."
This paragraph also says tht the battle rifle is capable of burst fire,Will tht be possible in Halo 2? And will our HUD black out or malfunction or hv a burst o static when we get hit hard or get shot?? And will we blow our shield generators if we over stress it??Will all these be available in halo 2??

*le sigh* Amatures.

You should pay close attention to the roster display scenes <3

[color=red]*SPOILER**SPOILER**SPOILER**SPOILER**SPOILER**SPOI LER**SPOILER**SPOILER*[/color]
When John was going through the list on the Gettysburg he 'designated all those who had died on reach and afterward, as Missing In Action. James, Li, and Grace...' He listed Kelly as MIA as well, 'she was ironically the only Spartan truley missing' since she was taken by Dr. Halsey. So one is MIA. Later he shuts off the roster and turns, watching Linda Will and Fred on the bridge stations.

So TECHNICALLY there are 5 Spartans left, 117 (John), 058 (Linda), 104 (Frederic), and 043 (William) including 087 (Kelly). However usually when someone as listed as MIA they assume them out of the picture, so it would be four. 4. But we can say 5 since Spartans aren't allowed to die. See, its FRED, not ERIC.

It would be spiffy if Halo2 worked in other SPARTANs..but right now, or until then, I'm just looking at these books as the Ultimate Fanfics <33

Lacrimosa is correct. A big portion of the plot of the third Halo book (entitled "First Strike") revolves around WHY the Covenant left a tiny portion of Reach unglassed. Believe me, MC and Cortana are initially just as surprised as you at this strange event.
