I'm just thrilled to see that the assault rifle is back. I think that the Masterchief is too. Its absence in Halo 2 really bummed me out.

"Recruits," he said, "soon your training will be complete, and you will graduate to the rank of [Master Chief] Petty Officer Second Class in the UNSC.
Pg. 99 Halo: The Fall of REACH

They all have the same rank


Ok man READ carefully. They Graduated as "PETTY OFFICER THIRD CLASS"
Secondly [Master Chief] Petty Officer Second Class isnt a rank!!!!!!!!
Ive been in Navy ROTC for 4 years

Oh and The highest Ranking Spartan was Fjhad, he made Lt Commander technically he was a wash out i guess

fjhad took alot of harm because of the upgrades they received and he was removed from the program.

Remember that they're all in the same squad, work together and ranked up together. I'm guessing that they all become a Master Chief if their leader does. They all do the work, they're all equals, John just gives the adivce.

nothing left to do but to finish the fight

Been confirmed that it is although ill admit it was a thought I'd initially had aswell. would be brilliant to make it abit of a squad shooter perhaps along the same lines as republic commando.
but lets just pray the Arbiter his fleet and everyones favorate chainsmoking foulmouthed badass Sgt Johnson make it back to earth about half way through to shake things up abit!
Not to mention a last minute entry by Kelly, Dr Halsey and the Spartan III's

and on a completely different note
cortana could be sending odd messages as she may be older than 7 now and "smart" AI's like her effectivley die at 7 years old by thinking themselves to death.
or maybe she means the flood will be the chiefs sword and shield their clearly inteligent and why cant we have a treaty with em :D peace to the halo universe.

and just cus i have to WOOOOOOO halo 3

wow i like your theory but if you recall in the first strike the other spartans all picked up battle rifles while they were in the cave so therefore no one should have an assault rifle. correct?

To end this discussion, read the latest update. "It is not Linda or Kelly. It is Cheif."

So your reasoning is that s/he has an assault rifle?

What if it isn't an assault rifle? It may be a new gun that just looks like one. I wish people would stop trying to come up with theories when there's only 1 1/2 minutes of footage to analyse.

The Earth is under attack and you think that they have enough time to Make new wepons. Yes in the books the new stuff was made. BUT, we dont have a planet like Reach to develop this on!


Idea: The cheif was a stowaway on the Ship on his way to earth. Perhaps the covenant had old human wepons they were studying or just collecting.

You know if they really wanted to show desperation and guerilla tactics , Master Chief would have an AK-47 and a RPG, that be kick ass

I'm really sick of this topic.

The spart in the trailer IS MASTER CHIEF. The update confirmed it, so there's nothing more to discuss.

If a mod would please lock this, they'd do the forum a favor.

Marty's music was designed from the ground up to lull the listener into a sense of doubt, then wonder. "I want them to feel pride and longing the moment Master Chief walks out of the smoke," says Marty. "I want them to get excited and perhaps even froth at the mouth when they see the Covenant Capital ship and then the incredible buried artifact. I want them to be left with that, 'I can hardly wait to play this game' feeling by the end with a slight, 'I wonder what she meant by that' aftertaste."


heres your proof. the halo 3 announcement story. look, it says Master Chief out of the smoke... look, i cant remember exactly how they all graduated... but as far as bungie and i and many many people are concerned. its the chief... no one but the mother effin chief. ok?

read fall of reach, when they are on that asteroid city thing... they had stripped down versions of the MA5B (which i think is the designation for the assault rifle? anywho. it might be that, but im betting on assault rifle. it said stripped down and smaller... but that looks the same size and the same bulkness (no stripping down i mean) as the original... im goin with original AR, but ya never know.

I have few theorys why it's impossible it to be john...
Why is he using an Assault Rifle if in Halo 2 you never grab one plus there was little time to grab one since he was in the forerunner ship. I really think it's one of the Spartans that survived on the Fist Strike (Will, Fred, Linda) and Kelly can not be counted because she never got upgraded to Mark VI, and there was enought time for the other Spartans to get upgraded (talking about the time he was on Delta Halo...)


Well... I think it is MC and for these reaasons:

* Only he has that armor
* Bungie wouldnt introduce other spartans because not everyone has read the books, so it might confuse alot of people
* The trailer is said to take place AFTER the covenant already control earth, so he has had alot of time to pick up an AR in the campiagn before that moment.

yeah, in the message by franky today, he says it is the chief in battered armor. and u dont know how much time passed from halo 2 to halo 3, it could have been years and enough time to remake a better assult rifle for the remaining marines.

Go read what Frankie just put on the front page please...

  • 05.11.2006 6:42 PM PDT

Yeah, I smoke weed. And yeah, I like it. So either torch this bowl with me or leave me alone.

Just remember man.... no matter how good you are, she's STILL thinking of me.

ok someone on the first page said that everyone would rank the same and at the same time. untrue man. you said they all do the same work and John just gives advice, when john is in fact their superior. im not sure if this has been addressed yet.. but i had to make this clear. They have been fighting on different planets in different systems for a good part of the war for any who pay attention and read the books. and even if your wild and completely false idea of them all ranking up was true, this is THE chief. one cannot argue with the laws of the gods of bungie. to do so would be blasphemy, and such a thing should not be tolerated on the forums. but seriously, do research dude...

Do you relize the whole story line of Halo is about Master Cheif (John to make those of you happy) and his quest to save human kind, and in the process the galixy, from the Covenant. what point is there to change the storyline in the last chapter to another Spartin doing the Cheif's job! It's not logical at all! Does that make sense to anyone! So what if his armor is a bit different? It was between the first a second. so what if he has a AR? Have you read the forum of what they should add to H3? Almost everyone wants it back. Why would Bungie switch MC out? He's doing great. Point being- he's Master Cheif, Spartin 117, formerly known as John. That's all.

  • 05.11.2006 7:26 PM PDT

So you seriously think that at the beginning of the game, SPARTAN 117 gets dropped off in the middle of the desert, conveniently right where the Covenant is excavating the Ark, and it is activated as he walks up? Dude, also this is just the announcement video, not really a trailer. That means that this could have nothing to do with the real story. And even if it was pertaining to the real story, don't you think it would make much more sense if that was at the end of the game?
