One would think it would have to be MC mainly because after 2 games a lot of people are attached to MC now. Also he IS the best spartain (sp?) if getting through two Halo's, hordes of covernent and waves of Flood are anything to go by, and it seames unfair that they would give him the boot after so much.


Why is he the BEST Spartan? That's an opinion, read the books, and see that Kelly can run faster than any of them. See that Linda is a killer with the Sniper Rifle, see that if not for Linda, Spartan 117 would probably be dead on the Covenant ship, she saved his ass when she started picking people off when she was hidden in the light. So saying that MC is the BEST Spartan is stupid. He's simply the Team Leader because he showed extremely good leadership skills.

And as far as the game not corelating to the books, that's because the timeline for the book trilogy ranges from before Halo 1, to the period between Halo 1 and Halo 2.

Yo lightning? Are you kidding? Incase you've never seen lightning on Earth, its like bulky and wide. Its narrow and long. If it was lightning, it would've taken up more space on his visor. Plus I watched the whole clip on my 32" HDTV with my Xbox 360. I don't know much about Halo because I'm not as big a loser as some of you people, but that is the light they use to chat.

The books have no relation to the game in terms of storyline.


Wrong. The books are canon and are defining elements of the Halo Universe. The Authors work closely with Bungie.


Wrong. while the author works closely with bungie, that doesnt mean that the storylines run the same. Halo2is testemant to that, if there were other spartans alive, then we would have seen them in Halo 2.


The storylines are the same. There are many quotes from bungie employees that say this. The books are canon. The books follow the same story as the game.

There were other Spartans alive during Halo 1, and we didn;t see them. We may not have seen them, but in Halo 2 we only get to see a small portion of the Halo Universe.

Holy shyt... your right add somethign else to that. In the book first strike they describe a big covenent dig with a done that had a hole in the center that was emitting light. if your thinking correctly that might just be that building. oh and he is not the best, he is the "luckyest" if you read the book all the other spartans hae their specialtys.

dude have u read the books. they follow the story of halo all the way. the first one is before halo 1, second IS halo 1 and the last one was meant to be between halo 1 and 2. clearly the last book didnt add up the way it should have, i assume they had to change the story for the second game for some reason cos it didnt add up. but there should be other spartans as some are found on reach in the last book, i gusse the only reason they didnt put them into halo 2 was because it would take to much time to introduce them to the people who havent read the books.
i dont think the spartan in the trailer is anyone but john, but thats becasue again it would be to hard to introduce the other sprtans. i think bungie would love to put them in but it would be very diffcult.
and what is this with the idea of the gun being the reasoning for ur idea, i read it lots of time but what ur saying makes no sence what so ever, what was ur point??

Unless the lightning was coming from the circle/eye of the storm, which it was. I didn't say lines of lightning did I? Please look again. Lots of people have agreed with me, because I'm right. It's lightning.

Halo 3 shoudl take place right after halo 2, if you remember the ending to halo 2. Which i mena who could forget it, your all pumped up and into the story line waiting to go and kick ass in the covenant ship and than.. credits.. its like WTFFFFFF. but what ever halo 3 should pick up right after that. oh but something else why i couldnt be. is because cortana wouldnt be interacting with any other spartan other than the MC

True, very true... Cortana was built for the MCs armor only, she can get into ships and such, but shes integrated with John. Good observation

...I wish people would stop trying to come up with theories when there's only 1 1/2 minutes of footage to analyse.

-TGP-

Unfortunatly since that is the only official information on HAL0 3 we got, people are going to use their imaginations (no matter how off) to fill in the gaps

If I'm right, than Cortana can go into all the Mjolnir armors. The reason she picked the Chief is because she believed he was the best of all the spartans.

Halo and Halo 2 took place over a span of several months, and the Master Chief's armor looked perfect throughout the whole of both games. If that many months of fighting couldn't even dent his armor, how long do you think it would take to dent it, scratch it, and turn it olive brown (like in the video)? Exactly. That suit must have been through years of fighting.

ah youre right. my mistake... but shes closest with the MC, been through everything hes been through (almost) she wouldnt be talking to another spartan.

Try looking at it on a good HDTV. Not some piece of -blam!- computer monitor that isn't even LCD. Lightning incase you haven't stepped outside in awhile since your too busy with Halo 3 and posted Spin, doesn't form that way. And last time I check, it takes place on this planet called Earth(ever hear of it?) and lightning does't look like that. Its probably John teamed up with some other Spartans and are investigating what the Covvies are doing and sending blinking lights to each other. Oh and just so you know, just because people agree with you(name some) doesn't make it right.

If something happened to Master Chief and Cortona lived, she wouldn't have to think twice about talking to another Spartan. She puts her mission, saving Earth, before feeling comfortable with who she's talking to.

If it has been years then why did it take so long for the covanent to find that device? also what if the dents and scraches where picked up during halo 2 and the days after john got back to earth? after all the covenent sent basically everyone they had down to earth

First off, I've watched lighting jump clouds. Secondly, I'll be happy to find the post. Be right back.

Everyone likes the Chief Because we have been him for so long now if we were one of the other Spartans we would say look at that loser Master Chief guy he is such a baboon. So people stop saying he is the best he is good at somethings while other spartans are good at some things.

This was in the Halo 3 Announcement:

You can see how detailed the Chief is, but that detail applies to our other, unseen, unrevealed characters, vehicles, environment and so on.

There, so you are wrong, it is definitely the MC.

Hey Abriel, I think you might be looking at the wrong flash. It happens at 1:12 in the clip and its in his upper right (your left) just thought you would like to know.
