I was just thinking if there should be another spartan because it would cool to meet another but in the books most of them are dead.

Oh h'em Gee! You looked at my sig!
Well since your here check out This Group
Fluttershy
Crossopolis, where it all happened. It has a castle made out of legos!Crossopolis indCrossopoilisTra

One of them is not dead, infact she is probably doing well with Dr. Halsey.

Edit:
There is 5 spartins alive: Linda, fred, will, Jhon, And kelly who is with Dr. Halsey.
Read page 325 of Halo First strike to find out the remaining spartins and that I'n telling the truth.

I don't think Linda is the only other one, what about the other guy who went on the space station with Master Chief and Linda, and floated off into space. Maybe he survived somehow.

So here's some advice. Hookers. You give them your money. they give you a few moments of happiness. Then you go home. The way it was meant to be. Posted by: Blackbird42
Actually I listened to the audio and he said something about the body rewarding social interaction because is was necessary to survive... well so was the appendix, and now all the appendix does is explode and kill you.

I voted no because it would make the game to easy. Other spartans are more agressive, stronger and faster, the only reason master chief is out there is because he is the most stratigegic. And if you look at the halo 2 soundtrack there is a song called the last spartan.

  • 06.13.2006 5:50 PM PDT

Some people play Halo because of the game. Others play for the story.

Ok i think there definitely shud be more spartans in Halo3 if its nething like the books. there are 5 spartans including the one we all know and love. MC. theres John(MC), Fred, Will, Linda, and Kelly(with Dr. Halsey). if the games were based on the books then technically there shud be spartans in Halo2 so i was dissapointed when they werent. so im hoping ther in Halo3 cuz they would jus kick ass.

Kelly, linda and fred are all alive. however kelly is with Dr. Halsey somewhere out in space doing something that dosent have anything to do with us.

On topic i think there should be other spartans, but they shouldnt fight along side you they should kinda move off and are never seen during gameplay but you hear about there progress kinda like M keys when your playing through Delta Halo and Regret.

To really tell we need to know if the books are based around the game as well, or are they just books written about Halo so we will buy them? and have nothing to do with the Halo games storyline what so ever...?

linda didnt die.

Grace, will, fred, John and linda went to destroy the covenant space station and grace was killed by a brute shot linda was almost killed but master chief returned in a banshee to find and save her.

they then boarded the gettysburg and left for earth.

Well, i dont think so. As much as i would love to see th books incorporated into the game, they are two seperate entities. Alot of the Halo fans havent read the books, so dont you think it would be wierd for another spartan to suddenly show up?

The books are based off the games, but they are interlocked with the story and are an official part of Bungie canon. Joseph Staten said that he took Nylund's work on First Strike into account when he wrote Halo 2. The following people, places, and things are mentioned there that make an appearance in Halo 2:

Battle Rifle
SMG
Lord Terrence Hood
Fleet Admiral Harper
The Cairo. Athens, and Malta Space Stations
Tartarus
The Prophet of Truth
The Arbiter
Earth's Orbital MAC Network
High Charity

And so on.

They are intertwined deeply, whether anyone likes it or not. Personally I think that this should be the layout for the characters.

Campaign:
Master Chief Petty Officer John-117
The Leader of the Covenant Seperatists

Co-Op (intertwined and intersecting with the main adventure):
Fred
Will
Linda
Kelly

I vote a strong yes to the return of the remaining Spartans. I dont care how they are integrated into the storyline (except flashback). I just want all those who havent read the books to realize that the other Spartans are still alive. I think it would come as a great shock to those who havent read the books, and as a moment of triumph and relief for those of us who have. The whole thing would make Master Chief seem more human than perhaps he has been portrayed to be. Also, as a side note, I cant wait for the movie next year, because that will definitely show his human side, considering its going to be about the Fall of Reach book, which chronicles his entire past.

that which is not dead can eternal lie, but with strange aeons even death may die.

1.) they should return at the begining or at the very end. this would be good.

2.) They should die in a BIG battle, maybe the one which bungie mentioned that happened before the trailer. (maybe...)

3.)if you have read the theroies on the other 30 spartans that were said to have died from the augmentations, but were really alive and taken away for fearther testing, well then we have 30 more spartans,

4.) they sould all die except for masterchief and 1 other, (this depends if bungies says 4 player co-op will be in there.

I think the other spartans should be there to fight alongside you, but it should be limited. Like, there should be a part of a level where you have to run across a battlefield and Linda (the sniper) would cover you. Or, you could have to drive a warthog through a part of a level and Will (the heavy weapons specialist) would be in the passenger seat and Fred (Senior Petty Officer and 2nd Spartan in command) would be the gunner.

And if you're to ask me how I know so much about each specific character, read the 1st or 3rd Halo book.

  • 06.13.2006 8:13 PM PDT

Constant state of war, of one, with all.

Our Chief has stood alone for too long! Sure he has Miranda and Johnson, but he never considers these people his brothers and sisters. The other Spartans he does. Linda, Fred, and Will where with Chief at the end of First Strike. Kelly was wounded and taken by Dr. Haisley. The Dr. said Kelly was going on her mission, and not the Chiefs. You could possibly use these Spartans as the co-op campain. OR. They said this is the last game of this story arc. Does that mean we will play as the other Spartans and their journies through the universe?

they should make more spartans so in multiplayer everyone will look differnt

  • 06.13.2006 8:29 PM PDT

I voted for more spartans. Personally I think it would be interesting if in the game at some point you play as another spartan. I mean in h2 you played as the arbiter so I think you should be able to play as another spartan. Also these other lines in the story would help move it along. I think that in the end of H2 there was a whole lot left to be finished up and that it would be sort of difficult to have one or even two characters finish the whole story. The other thing that I would like about it would be if they did have four person co-op that the people you were playing with would be different spartans. I never like playing with a friend and looking over and seeing the exact same person that I am. I dont think that there should be any AI spartans because that would too drasically change the feel of the game.

There probably is. On the trailer just after the chief exits the smoke, theres three quick flashes of light on the top right of his visor( your left) If you guys read the books this is how spartans communicate with each other. And they are not flashes of lighning in the background because those are in the middle of the visor.Heres where to look.
