for those of you who have not read the books and only played the games....you are under impression that Master Chief is the last survivng Spartan after the battle of Reach.....but for the rest of us who have read the books we know that some of the spartans did survive reach. We also know that there was rumors of another Spartan cloning program. So, with that said, should Bungie implement these characters into Halo 3. For those of us who have read the books we would probably be fine with it....but for those who have not they would be lost on the fact that there are more Spartans. I know I woould like to play the role of diffrent Spartans in Halo 3. Especially in Co-op......it would solve the weird fact that there are somehow 2 identical chiefs/arbiters. So....the question is....should Bungie find a way to implement the surviving Spartans in the game....or just leave it a one man show??????

Dont just vote....i wanna hear your comments on this topic too.Keep them comin.

You are right.....so i guess the question should be....Would you like Bungie to add Spartans surviving the battle of Reach into the games story...or just leave it with Chief?

ehh a second spartan would just MOW through the enemies, make it WAY too easy, let alone 4 others. maybe at the end of halo3, they should have him go back the the remains of reach and search for them, and find out they all died then end the game somewhere in that area

Read about my gaming here.

Is that why it say "official" on all the books?

There are spartans left, In Hale CE you THOUGHT MC were the only one left. In Halo 2, where does it say MC is the only one left? When MC is to kill the scarab, why does the guy who I don't remember rank or name on say "When I asked for reinforcment, I didn't think they'd send a spartan" if MC was the only one left would he say "I didn't think they'd send you". So, the other spartans were on other missions around africa where the covenant are to kill them of.

I kinda like the idea of more spartans.....while it could make it easier like nemesis said....if earth is indeed under covenant control then Chief may need a little more help then just Arbiter.....but then again this is the Master Chief we are talkin bout....he has proved he can handle just about anything

or instead of him finding them all dead....the ending can be he goes to reach and finds his fellow spartans

If he was the only one then he might still say "When I asked for reinforcment, I didn't think they'd send a spartan" and where does it say that there are more Spartans? Since it says this nowhere I would have to say that they at least think that the MC is the last one. And after all, the MC is their captain: you would think they would let the captain of the squad lead the squad right? Now you might say that they want to spread their chances but no, if they did then they wouldn't have made him a captain in the first place.

Yes at that time MC was thought to be the last of his kind. At that point he was under the impression all the Spartans at Reach died......the events leading to him finding the others had not taken place yet

Thanks for all your comments and posts....keep them comin

One shot: one kill, zero seconds to live

Well, we only found out that some of the other spartans survived AFTER Halo:CE, when MC goes back to reach.

read the books, bungie does consider them to be part of the story line, that was where the helljumpers were first introduced and weapons like the magnum and BR.

how come like NONE knows that ***THE GAME IS NOT BASED ON THE BOOK*** what happened in the book did NOT happen in the game.

I think that Bungie is the judge of whether it is part of the story, not you.

I just dont see why Bungie would have people write these books and give them all their info on the stories of Halo and then say the books are diffrent from the games.....as far as I could tell "the Flood" followed the storyline of the first Halo game very well

I have been searching and havent been able to find anything about Bungie saying the books are or are not based on the same storyline as the game.....so i guess we will wait and see
