It really sucks that James died, he would have been the best...what with the demo stuff and all....

James didn't die..he is MIA in the orbit around REACH where many UNSC ships were still orbiting.

Actually, in the Bible there's a pssage about a James and John..John wasn't the most important in that part...so let's see if James returns and activates something big, etc.

Actually, I believe you're only partially correct there.

From what we know about the Mjolnir, they only have a 90 minute reserve of oxygen in case of an underwater/space op.

So, yes, James may have found someway to exploit that and find more oxygen on a damages ship of some sort and is MIA. However, it's highly unlikely, and he is more likely KIA.

Perhaps in the next novel James' fate will be revealed to us...?

I voted for Kelly because it would be cool to zip around a group of enemies and tear them apart without them knowing what even happened. You could balance it in multiplayer by making Kelly a little less resistant to damage. She'd be weaker but faster.

Nah, Fred was said to be just as good as john, except Fred didn't like the attention. So I guess Fred would be like a ghost, and could blend in and out of the crowd without anyone noticing him. So I think that is why they think he is the one who would fit into a normal crowd.'

It's too bad James had to die, it would have been alot of fun being the Spartan who was an expert with explosives.

They should have a mission with like all the spartans close together, and in seperate parts of the mission you switch which spartan you are.

No I think James died. Remember he got a hole put in his suit by a plasma round. That prevented him from leaving the covenant ship with the other spartans.
And remember what happened when the others left, They blew the covenant ship up, James was in that ship at the time that they blew it up. So I doubt he survived, but it would be cool if he did.

Hate to say it dude, but I believe you're thinking of Sam. ;)

James is the one that was thrust out into space from the space op that John, Linda, and James were sent on to destroy the navigations document from the downed ship there.

Sam is the one that they had to leave behind on the Covenant ship. Sam is also the first one of the Spartans to actually die on the battlefield, if I'm right...I haven't read Fall of Reach in a while, so I can't remember if he was the first one to really die.

He's a SPARTAN, I'm sure he found a way =D

Hopefully the next novel will explain a lot of shizzle

Remember the wierd thing the crystal did to..like sorta make The Ascendant Justice get to REACH at a certain time? maybe 'luck' isn't such an unmeasurable property anymore..

While I love the characters in the books, i do not want them to appear in the game as playable characters, or even seen. The only way I want them to appear is through a transmission of some kind, where its hinted at.

Think about it, each game has reinforced the concept that the Master Chief is the last spartan. It would take away from what they have tried to make the point of through the past two games. The Master Chief is the last spartan and is the only one who can "finish the fight."

I wanna play as Sam, but he died...that sucks. Oh well, I'd probably play as Linda if I weren't John. I could care less about moving fast...or knives.

Linda is cool and all but she got her ass kicked in Fall of Reach by a couple of elites near the end. and so what if she is good with a sniper how are you gonna feature that in the game?
Fred is just as good as john and has no real talent.
Kelly is fast but WTF is she gonna do? do the matrix and dodge F***ing Covi lasers?
Will is average and the book said he was stealthy so he does have a talent (but im not saying its good or bad)so yea im voteing Will to MAYBE PLAY AS IN 1 OR 2 LEVELS. besides he has a good character and is (said in the books) "the wisecrack of the group"

Read my Number 104 all the way. More spartans would be cool. And if you could play bonus levels as different spartans when they got split up in the game. That would be hella tight.

I think james could have landed on a random ship and somehow stayed alive. They could always make him a new arm.

Wow thank you. I was looking through page 1, and then page 2 and was like "Oh man... Linda's dead right? How would she be a choice?"

I was gonna post that she was dead, but thanks for beating me to the punch.

really? damn, I need to finish First strike again. Last I read (in fall of reach) she got shot to -blam!- and died then ... frozen right. Ok yeah, I'll finish reading first strike again.

  • 05.28.2006 11:18 PM PDT

Kick start a craze

Yeah, James was definatley my favorite SPARTAN, apart from MC of course. But I think the only reason he's my fav is because we have the same name.

well was the "wisecrack" of the group. If i remeber corectly this is -blam! but he went hard and started being quite. I wish he still was a "wisecrack" cause the psartans have no sense of humour.
