For all the people that read the books could you explain the possibility of fighting along side another Spartan.

It would make sense. Plus I dont even think thats the master chief in the trailer. Think about it.

Yes It would be possible cuz 5 of them (or 4 I don't remeber) survived. Master Chief was on the Mac Gun wtv cuz the Admiral was there, and the Admiral was supposed to give him a medal or wtv, so the other spartans could have been on another part of earth so they didnt have time to get in the Amber Clad with the Chief.

and the books werent completely clear that the Spartans backon Reach all died. the story line actually follows them as they raided covenant bases all along a giant valley.

OOHHH I got a good idea have some spartans return, you fight with them, have them die, have a really emotional cutscene with master chief.

Don't follow in my footsteps; I walk into walls
my 360s blog

Here is the full list:

Cassandra (H2LE)-possibly the one "too wounded"
Kirk (FoR)- Crippled during surgical enhancements
Rene (FoR)- Crippled during surgical enhancements
James (FoR)- MIA during Reach orbital mission
Li-008 (FS)- MIA during Ascendent Justice repairs in Slipspace
Joshua-029 (FoR)- MIA during Banshee attack against Covenant ship on Reach
Vinh-030 (FS)- MIA during Covenant attack in Forerunner caves beneath Reach
Samuel-034 (FoR)- John's best friend, MIA (KIA) during Covenant ship infiltration in 2525
Isaac-039 (FS)- MIA during Covenant attack in Forerunner caves beneath Reach
William-043 (FS)
Anton-044 (FS)- MIA during Ascendent Justice repairs in Slipspace
Linda-058 (FoR)- Clinically dead, revived following events at Halo 04
Malcolm-059 (FS)- MIA (KIA) during crash on Reach
Fhajad-084 (FoR)- Crippled during surgical enhancements, now researches Slipspace physics
Kelly-087 (FoR)
Grace-093 (FS)- MIA (KIA) during attack on Covenant Station Unyielding Hierophant
Senior Petty Officer Frederic-104 (FoR)- Spartan II second in command
Master Chief Petty Officer John-117 (FoR)- Spartan II squad leader

3 Spartans (FoR)- away on other missions
3 Spartans (FoR)- KIA over the past decade (2542-2552; not including Samuel)
1 Spartan (FoR)- seriously wounded, could not continue active duty
3 Spartans (FS)- MIA, wounded from Delta team on Reach
? Spartans (FS)- MIA, Generator Defence Team Beta on Reach
3 Spartans (FS)- MIA (KIA) during freefall crash on Reach (not including Malcolm)
so techincally there are eight remaining Spartans not including the S-IIIs if you take the Spartans that are officially MIA and not just listed as such there are 13

No it would ruin the story line of Halo (the Game)

I agree with this guy. Coz not evry halo fan reads the books i only know the general summaries of the books but to most fans it would'nt make sense to have more spartans when throughout both games there is only 1, MC

There are a total of 8 Spartans alive at this point.

John-117 (Master Chief)
Fred-104
Linda-058
Will-043
Kelly-087 (MIA with Dr. Halsey)
And three others who were not at Reach when it was hit.

They could quite easily add other Spartans in at different points of the game. Just make them invincible like they did Sgt. Johnson and Half-jaw. Then give them fairly good AI.

Judging by what we've seen of Halo 3 (which by the way was 1/3 into the game) I'd say we can expect some fairly big battles. As such having a few Spartans with you would only equal things out on the battlefield. Shoot you don't have to stay with the Spartans the entire time.

For example Linda-058 (the sniper of the group) could seperate and give covering fire (like 98% accurate cover fire) around the battle. While Will-043 and Fred-104 could be elsewhere doing their thing. They don't even have to help you. The Chief could split up the Spartans into three groups. Himself, the male pair, and Linda. Ta-da! Spartans are in the game and it remains with you at the center of the killing spree.

Exaplin how those that were on Reach would have gotten off? They are dead. Reach either blew up with that nova bomb (which I don't think it did) or they were eventually overwhelmed by Covenant forces and killed.
