Just for the record, Some of them are speculations but in the game the Spartan II's are not people persay. THey were indeed geneticaly enhanced and as far as the lab part.... I'm uncertain.

2. Blame-ability thy name is stosh.
3. Bungie has no control over retail prices.
4. Watch out for low-flying defense drones.
5. Seven is not optional, but rather, an inevitability.

Did you know that we knew all of this already?

No they didnt. At least 1/3 of them lived. Did you know that Master Chief is not the last of the Spartans?

Did you know that Master Chief is his rank and he has no real name?His real name is John

Did you know that MC was CREATED in a lab and geneticaly inhanced?He was not created. He was basically kidnapped at the age of 6 and put into the Spartan program. He was genetically enhanced though.

really??? who survived? i've really only read one of the three books for HALO... and that says that the spartans went to the planet while kelly and james stayed with John...

i guess it never really said they all died... but it can easily be assumed.

Linda, not Kelly

i guess it never really said they all died....AH HA! Exactly. They only assumed they did. The Covenant didn't glass the whole planet (Reach) because there was a Forerunner artifact on it that they wanted, meaning that not all the Spartans died. Master Chief later found them hiding on Reach. I don't remember the names of all the Spartans he found, but by the end of the book (which is First Strike), only Fred, Will, Kelly, and Linda (who was brought back to life), along with the Master Chief, were alive. There were others that actually survived Reach, but they died shortly after Master Chief had rescued them. You should really read First Strike.

Ok. well not all of us have read the books. ok? as far as desolation goes, Thanks for the info you know alot about Halo. I've noticed something on this site. People here find it more amusing to bash those who are hyped about halo, rather than join in on the fun. for those who fit this discription I say: "go away!" to every one else, I wan't to say, "HALO!!"

I really encourage all of you to read the books... all three of them in order 1. Fall of Reach, 2. The Flood, 3. First Strike.

You should read the books for 2 reasons... 1. They are really good 2. So you can get your facts straight and stop posting nonsense.

Uhhh......Not to be rude, but your the idiot. His MJONLIR alone weighs half a ton. After adding John's weight to that, then its 1000+ pounds just like he said.

First off, mistake in that last post, his armour alone is about 300 pounds

The books measurements are never final. Say, the Grunts are about 5 feet tall. In the books, they are one meter, about two feet off or so. By half a ton, he really means something like 300-400 pounds. And the Master Chief isnt 500 or 700 pounds. He has to be at least 300 or less also. About 600 pounds, not quite a ton

I would recommend going to your local library, they should have the books. That is, if you're cheap. Hey, some of us don't have what you people call "dinero".

Yes reading the books will pay off. You will then know all about Halo and it will get you ready for Halo 2's storyline. I think most people are all hyped up on the Multiplayer, while I am looking forward to Campaign more. If a movie didn't have a storyline I wouldn't enjoy it. The same thing applies to a video game. That's one of reason I joined this site. Plus it's the site of the people who made the best game, in my opinion. Halo 2 is not made/distrubuted, so I can't say it's the best game, since I have never played it.


Edit: Desolation and echo630, quit fighting over a stupid such as weight. Winning an arguement over how much the MC weighs doesn't mean a thing. What will you gain if you win? Pride? Congratulations, you know how much the MC weighs, give yourself a pat on the back.

Tip of the Night: Don't be an idiot, it makes you look stupid.
