Subject: Spartan count... So how many spartans are left?

Anything can happen

I hope they dont put more spartans in halo 3 that would ruin it. If they were going to add spartans they should have done it in halo 2.
But a halo side story game with more spartans would be sweet with like 4 player co op like rainbow rain kinda

This apple is brown, and rotten. This orange on the other hand, is in relatively average shape. So the orange is definitely the preferable option.
----------You can't compare apples and oranges. You're so dumb.

Theres linda and theres kelly left as well as John. How ever cassandra claims she can't wait to try out the new mark armour to john. Thus she is a spartan or an AI. I don't think bungie will just leave kelly and lindas story and never tell the tale. Maybe in a future novel or maybe in game. How ever linda has plasma burns all over her skin and won't be able to battle or help master chief. Kelly is missing in an unknown location because she was taken hostage by DR hasely.

Its the planet where the Spartans were trained, and also a big shipyard/ research facility - Read the books ;)

Thinking about...things, if MC is a Spartan II, was there an earlier spartan program? or were the Spartan I's the original 'greek' spartans?

The remaining Spartans from Dr. Halseys Spartan II program: John, Linda, Kelly, Fred, Will and 3 other unnamed Spartans too far away to participate at the time Reach fell.

Oh, I forgot about the ones that did not help when Reach fell but their status is currently unknown totally.

Linda had the plasma burns at the end of the FoR. But she was revived by Dr. Halsey in FS.

The SPARTAN Is are the marines that first tried out and got pwned cause they weren't augmented..

Master Chief is a SPARTAN II

SPARTAN IIIs are most likely 15+ of the SPARTAN IIs that there was no confirmed death on right after the augmentation process, taken by Ackerson to a Halo ring and trained in the Chiron T34 building ala Halo CE multiplayer.

Heres a useful link that may help;

I suppose there is a lot of speculation as to whether there were Spartan Is before the Spartan IIs. The I Love Bees stories say that there were Spartan Is and that they were serious bad asses. Special Special Forces who were pumped full of wonder drugs that made them stronger and faster.

they don't say there is a Spartan 3 program, we only read the SIII in one of Ackerson's files and asume he got a Spartan 3 program. Because all of the stuff he did with the Spartans. Anyway, in the end of First Strike there are possibly 8 spartans left

There were 3 out on a distant mission that couldn't be recalled, "we" haven't heard from them so we can assume they are alive. The rest have been posted here and I don't remember them all.

How do we actually know there is one spartan left? huh? In Halo 1 there were no books AND the it was thought that they were dead, wouldn't you think they were dead when you saw the covenant armada attack and concentrate on a place where you sent your soliders, and then you left? Where in Halo 2 do they say John is the only spartan left? Why does the marine in the Metroplis map say "When I asked for reinforcment, I didn't think they'd send a spartan" if John would be the only one left wouldn't he say "I didn't think they'd send you"


You just answered your own question. The reason for the soldier's shocked statement, was because the belief that Master Chief is the supposed only reamining spartan. Since Spartans are special soldiers it would be much more logical that the Master Chief would be on a mission of greater importance rather than helping some grunts. Thats the reason for the befuddled expression from the soldier.

Nope, all 3 SPARTAN programs in the Halo timeline are based off of the Greek Spartan Warriors.

Don't forget ONI. ONI would never tell the public how many Spartans have been lost, the story of the Spartans is a serious morale boost to the human military and telling the public that all but a handful are dead would be..... unwise. The statement "I never thought they'd send a spartan" may simply mean he doesnt know there are only a few left, the soldier may think there are still 70 (?) spartans left.

To clarify: the II in Project SPARTAN II does not mean that this is the second project. SPARTAN I are the Spartans from ancient Greece, not an earlier project. And Ackerson wasn't working on a SPARTAN project. In The Fall of Reach it clearly states that Ackerson was against the SPARTAN II project because he was competing with it. On page 267 of "The Fall of Reach" it says that he was directly competing with the SPARTAN II and MJOLNIR projects.

The original SPARTANs were talked about and hinted at in FoR, they were hardened Marines, and most of them died (the ones who tried the MJOLNIR Mk IV armor and the ones who died from the augmentation process), and many believe that Johnson and Mendez were from the SPARTAN I project..survivors..total badass Marines who can survive through pretty much anything.

Well, they were training more, so there could be hundreds.


True they were training more, but cancelled the project after Reach fell.
