Although Bungie has said that spartans in the game would make it too easy cause there so good you wouldnt have to do anything and they could never die. But idk, I think that has all changed, especially since characters in Halo 2 could never die like Johnson. Plus there is a whole story with Kelly who went off with DR. Hasely on some mission, maybe it would a cool surprise to play as Kelly for a few levels. Or maybe Fred as he trys to defend earth in the Cheifs absence. That would be a cool couple of levels. And it looks like the cheif is guna have his hands full (even with the Arbiter and his hertics) and more Spartans would certainly be cool to fight along side with, even if just for a minute before they all break up and go off to complete seperate missions for the same goal (just an idea). Or maybe the so called "spartan 3s show up?

What do you think?

The lone hero thing is cool, but I thin really think that other Spartans (espcially the remaining 4) should show up during the end. We've all read so much about them, and we all want to see them. Maybe at the end it might not be a loan hero, but it could be a loan squad like in "First Strike"

Definetely yes, since bungie seems to like alternating storylines, scrap the arbiter and give us another spartan.

Would rather have the Arbiter, I think the Spartans should only be in cut scenes. Otherwise the game presents no challange.

that would be cool, one thing i didnt mention in the inital post is what about Linda as playbe, be sweet to play as a sniper, maybe click white button for slow mo so u can own some snipes

I personally think it should remain the way it is. The Master Chief is the Last Spartan in the games, and the leader in the books. It shouldnt be altered. They are seperate from eachother, yet still conected merely by the story.

^^^^^Agreed

Also, not evryone has read the books, so it would leave some fans clueless.

  • 06.09.2006 3:06 PM PDT

spartans could be braught (back) into the story in a way that would not require you to have read the books, and besides, North Americans are getting stupider and stupider, and the illiteracy rate is going up, read a god dam book

Lmao, its not that retarded at all, I wasn't aware that an opinion was a bad thing.

Anyway I think it'd be fun to see the other Spartans. But Its highly unlikely, to bring the other Spartans back to the games might cause a plothole for the people who haven't read the books. Bungie respects the books and works around them but they don't follow them that closely. Its quite evident that they never planned to have more then one Spartan in the games otherwise they would have introduced them in the previous titles.
However, we never know what lies behind the doors of Bungie HQ. Halo 3 is/will be probably full surprises.

Master Chief is probably an exception. The other Spartans would seem minor compared to him, the chief is not a hero because he is a Spartan, being a Spartan probably just helps.
Also the Arbiter ( who I think is every way as cool as the Chief ) is added to show the war from another perspective, Any new playable characters would have to be from a new perspective.

if any of the other spartans are to be playable then they need to have their own unique traits. Like the master chief for example would just get real "lucky", while some one like fred would just be "better" than chief. And kelly would be real fast. But the guy who started this thread left out the most playable other spartan Linda whom was an insane sniper in the books. And she has the best possible way to be playable because she left reach back before halo 1 and who knows what happened to her, so it would be the most possible.

Dude, you never read the end of Fall of Reach or First Strike did you? But you're still right. She's still alive at this point in the storyline (unless she died during the Covenant assault on Earth) so she could end up supporting you as a sniper in H3.

I think it would be a great idea to have a co-op only story line that you can play with the aid of xbox live!! Have it be part of the story but not to big in giving plot details. Just have the large scale battles! and what not.

no, this story follows master chief, if they keep the other spartans out there can be the movie to explain where the rest of the spartans are.

or even better they could make other halo games where you take the place of the other spartans.

I want some different characters...


One spartan

One arbiter

One other character


In halo 2 it was fun to try something new... Like playing as the arbiter...In HALO 3 there have to be more fun... but if we are playing as another spartan there is no real different... we have played as a spartan and a arbiter... I want to play as some other thing...


Sorry for the spelling im from denmark
