I dont hate other spartans I just love MASTER CHIEF he is the best character ever... that was my last post im not answering you again KID!!!

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.


Im not in love with him... ALL i say is that MASTER CHIEF is a cool character...
And i dont want any other spartans...

This is the final battle and all UNSC Personnel are going to be focused on saving Earth. The Spartans have a lot of work cut out for them and the Master Chief is going to need all the help he can get. (Groups of Spartans have gone against Covenant armies and have gotten killed).

The Master Chief may be a great hero, but he is not invincible. He is going to need his comrades by his side.

Saying "The Master Chief is cool liek teh 1337 pwnageness, I d0n'7 liek o7h3r Sp4r74ns" is just ignorant and stupid.

The best way for them to do it is to incorporate them in the main story. Co-Op may work but it won't be as good as fighting the final battle alongside everyone, plus it would bring out a large amount of the character of the Master Chief because we would see how he acts around them.

I think there should be more Spartans, but you should only meet them in cutscenes and stuff. You can be deployed on the same map, but the Spartans shouldn't be working together. They should all be doing different things. For example, John might want to...hmm...blow up a Covenant scarab while another Spartan goes to take out a Covenant base. MC takes over the Scarab and helps out the other Spartan. Then the cutscene begins and the two Spartans do w/e they want to. It would be pretty cool getting radio transmissions from another Spartan.

"This is Spartan-117 to all groundside units, Scarab-04 has been overthrown."

"Copy that, Spartan-117. This is -034, I could use a bit of help over here. Destination 48N by 92E."

"10-40, -034. On my way."

Something like that. That would be pretty cool. Then in the cutscene, you start blowing up the Covenant base and the other Spartan comes aboard and you two call for evac or something. That would be awesome. Just an idea. lol. What'd you people think?

HALO "man" why do you capitalize "MASTER CHIEF"?

  • 06.14.2006 8:08 PM PDT

Lockout117 i love the idea where you would meet up with say kelly and she'd bolt off to do a mission while you have to set up HAVOC nuke then you meet up in a cutscene on a pelican. I've posted this before but it was lost in the forums, anyway some people are skepticle on how to bring them in since many Halo fans don't know of other spartans and theres a somewhat easy solution.....A MOVIE!!! which they are doing. What halo fan isn't going to see the movie (rhetorical question). so yea thats my two cents and a quick question are there any topics on the books i just read the series and wanna pick my brain about it with a few people.

"also t the people that want master cheif to be special he is he has cortana with him which makes his reflexes n such 10x better than the other spartans and he's Dr halseys fav and probably the smartest tactically speaking.

Uhh, BP. John-117 no longer has Cortana with him. He is on his own during the fight for Earth.

I personally think that the other Spartans should be a major element in the campaign, or at the very least, on a co-op campaign that exclusively features them.

They are far too great of characters to be simply ignored.

  • 06.14.2006 8:44 PM PDT

sorry to bump this but it's a thread im interested in....anyone else think having other spartans in the cutscenes is a good idea and introducing them to the fans through the movie? When is the movie comin out though? theres a falw in my theory the movie is set to be relased after the game... damn. yea and cortana isn't with hm sorta feel stupid i overlooked that when i saw what you typed i was liek ooo right my bad......woops!

They may be saving the other spartans for a different game. I know that halo 3 is the last game in this story arc, but that isn't to say that there won't be other games set in the same universe.

no it woudln't ruin the game because if you have read each book carefully it says each spartan has their own special talent. MC has survival making him the best Spartan, but as MC is good in all areas of combat the other spartans excel in other parts of combat further than master cheif........for example the female in the fall of reach volume was a superb sniper much more talented then master cheif has been. MC is a more of a hand to hand type spartan. He likes the up close and personal fights.

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.


Erm, yes these facts are correct, although ,
Sam died
Linda badly, i mean seriously wounded
James' arm is blown off


I would like to say, i would'nt mind if more spartans were introduced, and even into the gameplay, but the "1 vs 100 0000" feeling and sence should remain. Maybe they will help you for a bit, then in a cutscene you tell them to sercure something.... mabye later on an objecive would be, help surviving spartans. Or something like that.. I definatly DO NOT want team controls... it would ruin Halos Essence. Also too much of them in the gameplay would also ruin essence...

The glass is neither half full nor half empty; it's just twice as large as it needs to be.

Whatever you're still stupid and Im not the only one who thinks so.


Yes you are. You're making yourself look stupid, really stupid. It's funny you dont actually realise it!

Back on topic. It would be fun to fight with two Spartans at your side (maybe even only one). Not more, and then only in the biggest battle of the game (I can imagine it, a gigantic battle, at the H3 Trailer cliff. Marines, ODSTs, Elites, Jackals and Hunters, and a few lost Grunts all crawling over the place. Suddenly you see two Spartans, fighting for their lives...). And even if they didn't put in any Spartans, I could live with that, I just hope they do (and please, PLEASE, let them have better AI than our dumb friends do, aka Marines/MaStOr ChEeF).

well if you read the book theres atleast 10 other spartans who are alive, they just had to go on a mission with Dr. Hasely. so yea it would be cool to see them come back

The idea of more Spartans is cool but to be honest it would be weird to see them running around on the battlefield like the rest of the mindless marines.

I say they would be ok if they were restricted to cutscenes only.

well they wouldnt be mindless, im sure the new AI in halo 3 could make them kick ass. i want huge battles like in the books with thousands of grunts pouring in on you and i wouldnt mind haveing 30 other spartans killing them with me. allso it would be cool to have a difficulty beyond legendary and have online co op with 30 other people as spartans


I totally agree. It would be nice as long as the AI kicks ass.

I would like to see some other spartans in Halo 3 just to flush out all the Halo "fans" who haven't read the books. Maybe then they would have a reason to actually read them.

Lockout117 that is pure genius. That would be a great way to have spartans in the games without having to complicate thinks soo much for those who did not read the books(great to read by the way). Also in CO-OP it would be nice to have another different spartan instead of having two master chiefs. But it would be nice to play along with them also. All bungie needs to do is just explain how they are on earth which shouldn't be hard for them. keep those ideas comin in.
On a side note WHOA!!! I can't belive this thread has become a thread of interest!!!!!

I think it would be a great idea. Not just having them run around on the battle field with the master Chief, but maybe, since in the books each spartan had a special ability that they all used to thier advantage, maybe, just maybe we could be able to switch between certain spartans at certain parts of the game. Just like in halo 2, it switched between the covenant and the Master Chief. During certain parts it would be able to switch to Linda and her ability is speed, so make her about twice as fast as the other spartans. Just a suggestion.

Well my view is completely diff' I would want only the original Spartans because only if you read the books you know how awsome they are!!!! They wouldnt be mindless like marines because Spartans are in the army duh! and the ARMY is BETTER than the marines!!!!lol
