ive been noticing lately that a bunch of people are complaining about bringing back the other Spartans and halsey and whitcomb because they will confuse players that have never read the books. well they could always have a backdrop movie at the beginning of the game...like 5-10 minutes long...about what happened at reach, the Spartan program, and whatever else Bungie needs to get their story across. so stop complaining and just wait to see what Bungie does. and do you think the collectors edition of Halo 3 will include Halo1,2 and map pack?...if not do you think anything special other than the kind of stuff they put in Halo2 collectors

This forum is for Halo 3 theories. More Spartans coming into the game is a popular theory. And no one is complaining so far as I've seen.

PLEASE DO NOT SEND ME GROUP INVITATIONS

The Halo REACH Script (post thoughts in thread)

Writing Lead of Whisper Studios. Check out Heron!

Look... I'm on bungiepedia!

Many things from Halo 2 were introduced in the Halo novels. Take these for example

* Admiral Hood
* New Armor
* Battle Rifle
* SMG.
* Magnum.
* Brute Shots.
* Dual Wielding.
* Cortana (going screwy)
* Johnson (surviving Halo)
* The Arbiter
* Tartarus.
* The Prophet of Truth.
* Brutes.
* Elite guards.
* REACH getting pwnt.
* High Charity
* Orbiting MAC stations
* Capital sips (Truth and Reconcilliation was just a cruiser)
* Archer missile pods
* New dual core reactor system from the Pillar of Autumn also in the In Amber Clad
* The Time-warping crystal (though we don't see it, we experience it's effects with the superfast slipspace jump.)
* Covenant finding out they can jump from inside the atmosphere.


There could be more, I don't remember them all..

i agree, that the SPARTANs should be involved in the game in some fashion

1) seeing them
2) fighting with them
3) or even just hearing about their exploits in another objective on Earth

the fact that we dont hear about them when they would HAVE to be on earth is ridiculous IMO, i mean its EARTH, wouldnt all surviving Spartans be brought back

Sidenote: i was reading the books the other day again and noticed something i hadnt before, there is more surviving Spartans other than Fred, Kelly, Linda and John there are THREE more, when Hasley is briefing the spartans on their mission to capture a Covenant vessel she says that there are 3 Spartans who are away on duty too far away to be recalled for the mission...

Five Tenets of Bungie.net Forum Life:
1. Trolls will always be well fed.
2. Blame-ability thy name is stosh.
3. Bungie has no control over retail prices.
4. Watch out for low-flying defense drones.
5. Seven is not optional, but rather, an inevitability.

I read the words "bringing back" and "Whitcomb" in the same sentence. The man is dead. I doubt Bungie's going to go through some kind of playable flashback, and I doubt they'll have a cutscene flashback involving Whitcomb.

Well, while it may actually require a flashback to include Linda, Fred, and Wil, i think that it would actually be very easy to add in Dr. Hasley and Kelly. It would just be a simple conversation, with Kelly walking in, and Dr. Hasley asking "Do you remember what happened?" Kelly could say something like "You kidnapped me when they needed me most", or "You took me away right before the big battle". To people who read the books, we would know that she is referring to the unyeilding heirophant. However, to people who didnt read, they will assume she means Reach. So, either way, the storyline would fit in.

His post WAS Halo 3 related. Video? Suggestion for the game maybe?


Nobody said it wasn't related to Halo3, I think he was just trying to get to the point that he, doesn't think it would confuse anybody.
