Play all of Bungie's Halo games and you'll see that Bungie only wanted one Spartan.

Read all of and play all of Microsoft's Halo stories and you'll see that Microsoft disagreed with this sentiment.

Bungie wanted Halo to be about the Chief and Cortana's story, mostly Cortana, but Microsoft wanted Star Wars level of success, so expanding on the universe is what they needed to do.

You'll notice that playing Reach you'll see that every single Spartan dies. This is to emphasize what Bungie wanted originally. They could've made it so that they were all Spartan IIIs, but they would have been too obvious that they were intending on forcing the Halo story to make sense for what they wanted. But they threw in a Spartan II for good measure.

If you think Reach isn't canon, think of it this way:

Halo Reach, Halo 1, 2, ODST, 3, Halo: Contact Harvest = Bungie Halo Canon (all written by Bungie)Halo Wars, every other novel, comic, anime, short film, Halo 4 and beyond = Microsoft Halo Canon

These two separate canons are based on what Bungie did and what Bungie did not write, and completely] explain any discrepancies. So feel free to bear that in mind in future.

I've just fixed some important grammar errors, but after that, you're free to go ahead with this plan. I support it fully. :)

As a pure follower of the games only, I agree. One surviving Spartan sounds much better than this beating-around-the-bush retcon with "Yeah, there ARE other Spartans alive, they just don't show up in the game, and at the most important battle at Earth with Chief, yeah.". I'm not taking that crap. As far as I'm concerned, Chief is the last surviving Spartan-II.

I don't like to follow the novels because having to rely on other sources of media to tell important story elements is just plain lazy.
