Subject: calling all halo novel readers

I have walked the edge of the Abyss.I have governed the unwilling.I have witnessed countless empires break before me.I have seen the most courageous soldiers fall away in fear.[I was there with the Angel at the tomb]
I have seen your future.
And I have learned.
There will be no more Sadness. No more Anger. No more Envy.
I HAVE WON.
Oh, and your poet Eliot had it all wrong:
THIS is the way the world ends.
a friend of a friend (Cortanas first letter)

Now lets get one thing straight. To all of u ppl who have read the halo novels, and use them as speculation for halo 3, thats ok. But to all of you who keep going, "When are they gonna reveal the other spartans who survived reach?" and "Where are the other spartans in hiding while the chief is on halo?
" GET YOUR HEADS BACK IN. There may be surviving spartans in the novels. But there arent in the game, and there never will be. The only possible way of more spartans in halo 3 will be the completion of another project. But the game clearly states many many times, that the cheif is the last of his kind and that all the others died on Reach. Its too late for them to go back on that. No matter how dissapointing a decision that was to change from the novels, its just fact now. They are gone and they are never coming back. Until Halo the Movie of course

Dude, unless you've played through Halo 3 and know this for a fact, you're speculating just like everyone else.

Secondly, this topic has already been posted... alot.

Thirdly... uh... shut the hell up. :thumbsup:

Well i cant agree that bungie's decision to dub the master chief petty officer the "last surviving spartan" is one that makes it impossible to inculde spartans in in halo 3, they can do whatever they want there is no real restriction its not as if they said that spartan 117 was the only one to survive the dangerious surgical enhancements the spartan 2s had to go through, the fact that they all died on reach could simply be bad intel simple as that. Otherwise though i agree entirely and i own all of the books.

yes there are! :lol:

  • 05.21.2006 11:48 PM PDT

Well, we DO know that the novels are canon. We DO know that Bungie has introduced multiple new characters (from the novels!) in H2 (Truth, Tartarus, Lord Hood, etc.). We DON'T know who is going to be in H3, besides the MC and Cortana. We WON'T know untill Bungie tells us in some way, or we get our grubby little paws on the game.

Col Sanders 37- Would you like that original or extra crispy?

I hope you choke on my popcorn chicken!

Eat my crispy strips biotch!

He was thought to be the only survivor of reach. Then Halo CE happened. Then in the next book The First Strike it clearly states that there are other spartans not to mention 4 survive at the end of the book. Halo 2 did not state he was the last remaining spartan, unless I am wrong. Bungie worked closely with Eric Nylund and fed him what they really wanted to happen in the books. Why would they let him go and say that there are other surviving spartans if Bungie said Master Chief is the last remaining one?

Besides we won't know until the game comes out.

First, thank you for ruining our satiracle mood.

Secondly, I totally agree.

Actually, the MC is really a grunt. Don't tell anyone, as the secret isn't supposed to be out yet.

Its one storyline, so if the other spartans arnt in halo 3 they either need an explanation saying they've been killed off which would be LAME!!! or the other 4 spartans actually went on that mission to the covie homeworld they found coordinates to, but thats even more unlikely because the spartans will be needed on earth, i think they NEED to be in halo 3 or it wont make sense. Plus i will be deeply dissapointed in the story which i love so much. We might be playing the campaign from differernt angles by different spartans and mabe each will play differently because each spartan is differerent- that would be AMAZING.

this is all wishfull thinking i read the books to and i know in the books that some spartins survived but i wont get my hopes up for them being in the game besides i dont want to play as anyone besides the master chief playing as the arbiter wasnt fun "(pink is cool but looks horible in a hud) sure id like to see them or have them fighting by my side but playing as different spartans wouldnt be fun dont you remember halo 1 how we fell in love with master chief in the first place why play as anyone else : ) :()

you could not be more wrong dude.
for one there is kelly and halsey which WILL show up in halo i guarantee you.
plus it is possible ther are two other spartans alive.

I'm sorry I don't mean to put ya down on this one but there are 3 spartans alive other than kelly. Fred, Will, and Linda. And you are right only bungie knows who will make it to the game. But there are also the two others that were too far away on a special mission, and one that was too hurt to fight. But according to the Conversations from the universe booklet in the special Halo 2 edition, the one that was too hurt to fight could be Cassandra and she is close to being completely rehibilitated.

Show me the many times that the games say that John is the last Spartan

  • 05.22.2006 9:39 AM PDT

You know, SPARTAN-III's can show up, I think it has been enough time for them to be trained and stuff since John went on that mission on the rebel base when he was only like fourteen or fifteen. The SPARTAN-III's are old enough to show up in Halo 3 (I think). And we know that the SPARTAN-III's were coming because CPO Mendez was sent to go train them.
