heres the link:

http://xbox360.ign.com/articles/707/707241p1.html

scroll down to the 9th paragraph, its describing the trailor, it says, "Master Chief stops walking and the camera lowers, pointing up at one of two remaining Spartan soldiers.."
In the books (which i thought the game was not going by..) it says there are i think 4 or 5 spartans left...Is this a mistake by IGN??? or an anwser we've all been waiting for????

any ideas?


someone plz tell me how to fix the link...

Wow thats cool maybe they will include some of the things from the book. But NEVER trust anything that has not been said by bungie. It makes me so angry when people go around believing everything they hear on every website about Halo.

Post this again tomorrow or well rather later today when someone besides me is on. I want some of the know it all experts to discuss this one. Hmm its really interesting though, because while the books are cannon bungie didnt seem to be using anything major from them.

Part of the solution

theres a hint that there might be some spartans because when you watch the chief, just after he appears, there are 3 or so dull flashes in the top left of his faceplate. acknowledgment lights from other spartans perhaps? the he kinda looks like he nods to somone. or maybe im just nutty. XD

There's about 7 Spartans left alive, according to the books. (I think, little while since I read them.)

lol i saw the flashes, they could be anything though, they are way too faint.

And i also noticed something else, the covenant ships are flying towards the artifact, but when it opens it up, they suddenly change direction and speed away... what could that mean??

It means they are hella scared of it. What time do the flashes come?

the flashes are at about 1 minute 14 seconds

And since they panic and speed away when it opens up, the covenent must not have expected it to open up, which means they arent controlling it!!! i might be on to something.....or i might just be rambling on with useless info...you choose.

Those flashes are from the lightning reflecting in his visor not from his HUD.

at the end of the book "First Strike" Dr. Halsey hands the Forerunner artifact that she located on REACH while under the mountain to a marine... I can't remember his name, but neways, she takes Kelly, a spartan female, and steals a fighter from the conjoined ships "Ascendant Justice" and "Gettysburg", and using a Slipspace generator, jumps away from the battle that is about to ensue.Now we know there is at least one other surviving SPARTAN besides 117. In the last chapter of the book, they had set course for earth to warn the UNSC of an invasion that they stalled at the covie invasion rendevous point, "Unyielding Hierophant", at that point Master chief had 3 other SPARTANS on board the "Gettysburg". That brings our grand total of surviving SPARTANS to: 5.

There is a Thread where people have discussed the exact same things and...the flashes are the lightning. The covenants that speed away are thought to do so because they didnt expect it to open.

And if Bungie continues as they have and if they are not luying that they wont take content from the books into the game then there is only the Chief left.

Maybe IGN think that Arbiter is a Spartan ;) after all, spartans were great warriors who killed hundreds of attackers when they were only a few. And in my oppinion the Arbiter is a Spartan aswell, a born one, not created.

for the guy that said stuff from the books


the game and books dont have the exact same storyline. they add stuff in the books thats not in the game. just because 5 spartans are in the books does not mean that there are 5 spartans in the game.

he's very virtuous and all like the spartans, but he doesn't have that kick-arse attitude.
