This might have been posted yesterday but im not sure. So if you're the one who originally found this then the credit goes to you.

Whats with this IGN article and it saying that one of the remaining 2 spartans are standing on the cliff. In the 9th paragraph look what it says. Is it possible IGN knows something we don't? Or are they just assuming that? If they are why would they?

If anyone knows why they say that please share it with us.

IGN also said it was a bridge/broken halo in the background but as Bungie said its the space elevator destroyed!!!
The second spartan they mention is not a spartan they think Cortana is the second spartan!!!
So the tru7h is is that IGN is full of -blam!- and dont know any thing about Halo!!!

I think they mean one of the two Spartans mentioned in the book that are definitively alive, Will, Fred, and Linda. Wait, no... that's three. I don't think they can count... And when was there a second Spartan in the trailer?

Ya IGN is retarded, i was watching that IGN made video of Halo 3...they thought the reason the Covenent attacked Africa was because of some retarded reason like "bungie liked it because it was primitive and gave us two types of combat," or something retarded like that. They dont even know that the Covenant attakced Africa because thats were the Ark is and Africa is where human life began on Earthso thast why the Ark is there. They are retarded and we all probably know more about halo than they do combined.

There are more than two remaining Spartans. And Master Chief is the only one in there. Case closed.

Anonymous Dark, I clicked on your link referring to "City 17." It said your location is City 17, England. City 17 is actually in Russia.

My motto for Halo 3 content is: "Don't believe anything unless it came straight from Bungie."

My thoughts exactly.

"Oh you -blam!- camping whore!"
"It's a legitimate strategyyyyyyy!"

The Spartans that are currently considered alive are Fred, Will, Linda (well frozen in a cryotube in a critical state), Kelly (who Dr. Halsey kidnapped after drugging her to take her on a secret mission, I personally think it is to investigate the possibility of an S-III or Spartan III program based on GOOD flash clones of current Spartan IIs) and John (Master Chief for all the n00bs out there). I really want them to tie into the books in Halo 3 along with the movie so all this amazing backstory can be considered legit...btw the graphic novel will be cannon and apparently they explain in the last comic why the Covenant only came to New Mombassa...

And just what claim does IGN have staked on Halo 3 and Bungie? Just because you recognize a name or title doesn't mean something is true.

What IGN means is that there aren't 2 spartans in the trailer, That Master Chief was standing on the cliff,(COMA) one of the two spartans alive. They mean one of the 2 spartans alive was in the video. Still remember, IGN claimed the next project was Halo: Forerunners.;-D

Linda is not frozen anymore. At the end of first strike is helps them on the mission to destroy the "Uneven Elaphant' remember?

As for why ING said 2 remaining sprartans...perhaps 2 die in the next book that comes oit...Ghost of Coral...

And thats why there is only one in Halo 2...The other is hurt and can't fight or something...

I doubt they know anything, but perhaps they have info that fred linda and will die, and Kelly is the only one besides john remaining.
