The "secret" is that if you select a Spartan in that level, a warthog will drive by occasionally.
(I got the game yesterday,and the Spartan is great).
The costumes are just different colors.
If you like fighting games, or just have to have any game with a Spartan in it, you should get this, but be warned-the AI is terribly hard (as in, easiest mode is normal, and normal mode, final boss can kill you in in 5 seconds, and counters 50-80% of the time). So if you're not committed, be warned-you have to beat the game 17 times to unlock the Spartan, and 5 times on a harder mode to get all costumes.
I must emphasize-this is not the typical complaints from a bad player-think Halo legendary difficulty for its normal mode equivalent (and about as many tries). You'll find yourself extremely pissed off, especially when you get killed by the comp. for the 50th time.

7 costumes, 1 is green, 2 is red, 3 is blue, 4 is shiny white-silver, 5 is light green or tan (can't remember), 6 is solid white, and 7 is black with red trim. From what I've found, you will never be able to see her face, but she is by far the best character. Not only because she is a Spartan, but she is the only one that speaks in English. (for those who don't know, DOA is traditionally in japanese voice with subtitles)
It is definitely not book/game accurate, as it takes more than one or two hits to kill people, and the other people actually damage you (and if another player that's a spartan sticks you, it only takes off 1/3 to 1/4 of your health.)
