If they explained the Spartans in a way that wouldn't confuse the majority of the players then I don't think that they would ruin the game.

as cool as it could be it would ruin the whole 'last spartan feel' that is one of the great features of the story and it would also not make sense to the players that had not read the books but had only read the intro in the beggining o the halo ce game manual just like halo 2 there will be no other spartans

If you read the books they have a better story line than the game.

I am a fan of the books, and I would like to see other spartans.


Too bad the books are considered mild-canon when it comes to the games. You're not going to see more Kelly, Wilma, Barney, Fred, Pebbles in Halo 3.

Kid, the books mean just as much (if not more) to the Halo story than the games do. Thye tie everything together and give meaning to all of the killing. I hope they will intro more Spartans, but not show them in combat much (except for cutscenes..they should doo the same with the Arbiter)


Also, to everyone saying "MC is teh strongest!!"

Sam was the strongest, Linda is the best Sniper, Li(?) is best in 0-gee, Kelly is the fastest, Grace is best at heavy weapons, James is demolitions..John is well rounded in everything, but he has superior leadership skills and is the luckiest.

And to everyone saying "MASTER CHIEF HAVE TO BE THE BEST IN HALO 2 he just have to"

What the -blam!- does 'have to' mean anyway? He doesn't need to be the best, Linda would snipe the -blam!- out of him in a Snipers trainging, and Kelly could run circles around him.


Boy, the books don't mean -blam!- to the 6.5 million+ people who bought Halo 2. Less than 1% of the people who bought Halo/Halo 2 have read the books. Bungie has stated they would not include characters from the books because it would confuse their core audience.


1. Don't call me "boy"
2. Learn to do some research before you make yourself sound like an idiot
3. Did any of these things confuse you?

* Tartarus
* The Arbiter
* The Prophet of Truth
* Lord Hood

* The Covenant Flagship; Ascendant Justice

* Covenant A.I.s

* Race: Prophets
* Race: Brutes

* Cortana; going whacky (it's hinted at at the end of H2, and in the H3 trailer)

* Johnson; Escaped Halo's blast

* Battle Rifle
* Brute shot
* SMG
* Magnum
* Archer missile pods
* Orbital MAC cannons

* New feature: Dual Wielding

* Time warping crystal; we experience it's effects in Halo 2.

* Ships; dual core, spinning reactors as seen on the PoA; not mentioned in the game but in the book

* Slipspace; jumping from inside an atmosphere

Point is, things from the books will be implemented, and will not need a huge intro. Look at Tartarus, or the Arbiter, or the Prophets

Common sense can tell us most of how and who they are; a cinematic will explain the rest.

Not if you keep reguarding Master Chief as a god. He is lucky, which is the only reason he's still alive. He is good at giving orders, which is the only reason he is not some Chief Petty Officer rather than Master Chief Petty Officer.

Adding new Spartans to the game would make it more exciting not ruin it and if you havent read the books, and your on forums, then you are a pretty lame halo fan

This is a no-brainer for me.

All Spartans except Kelly should be referred to only in cut-scenes and they should all die over the course of the game.

The only exception to this is Kelly. Her role in the story is unclear to say the least. What they do with Kelly is important. We'll see. Perhaps playable, perhaps not.

After all is said and done, it's also possible and fair for Bungie to get Nylund or somebody equally decent to write another couple of books explaining the fate of the surviving Spartans (including Kelly). This would free them to concentrate on the MC and other characters introduced in the previous games.

Really, we have no idea what Bungie is up to in this final installment. I TOTALLY trust them to deliver in the story department though. I'm not worried at all.

They're all brave, MC just gets luckier, and is better at giving orders. They wouldall give their lives for Earth's safety, and if it was someone else on Cairo..even James who only had one arm - they would've done the same thing.

I'm not sure how I would feel about having other Spartans in gameplay. Maybe they should be kept in cutscenes.

Altough I wouldn't have a problem with fighting against other Spartans.

No they wouldn't. Master Chief is just an average Spartan, but he is luckier, and will jump into dangerous situations faster, while keeping his cool as a great leader. Why do you hate other Spartans? Master Chief isn''t going to marry you, kid, just look at the facts of how much 'better' he is than everyone else.

You're calling me kid? Get your facts straight before you talk. You are obsessed with an animated character who you believe can 'pwn all the others who have better abilities than him', and you are in LOVE with him. Loving someone who isn't real? Yikes, it gets even worse! He's a man.

Just to clear this debate up, yes all of the Spartans received the same enhancements, however, John was the commander of the Spartan unit. He was the leader because he was the best all-around soldier. Some of the other Spartans specialized at certain things like sniping, speed, etc, but John was the best fit to lead the rest of them.

There are a couple of Spartans left that survived Reach, and the journey home from Reach after it fell, so it is possible that Bungie might incorporate them into the game, but I'm guessing that if they do, it will be either a small mention of what the other Spartans are doing, or they will show up in full force possibly as another playable character (I'm guessing the first, but I'm gonna wait for the new novels, I bet there will be clues to Halo 3's story in the new novels).

Other Spartans would be great in the game. They would have to be each unique and unkillable (like SGM Johnson in Halo 2). I would personally love it.

Personally... I would love to see more Spartans, but after not seeing any other Spartans in the first two games besides Cheif, Im somewhat confident that Bungie doesnt have plans for more in Halo 3. I think we need to look at the fact that Bungie in the "Game World" has not mentioned or acknowledged the exsitence of other Spartans still alive in the Halo Universe. The books are different. The game has been successful with one, so why add more? Also they mention Halo 3 as being the ending of the Triology, but they dont say this is the end of the Halo Universe, just this part of the "story arc". So maybe we could see games in the future built around a story with Mulitple Spartans...

We will just have to see... :)
