Why would Bungie spend 6 years making the Chief the central character/hero of their biggest franchise and then all of a sudden introduce more Spartans that would ultimately steal the spotlight from him? John is going to save the world, not Fred, Linda or Barney.

true dat, the mc doesnt need any help
True. As long as I control the Master Chief and The Arbiter with my hands, I need no help for they are the ultimate weapons.

I am...whimsical today.

Stop generalizing all of you......hang on... ;)

I doubt that there will be more Spartans in Halo 3. It would kinda spoil the 'last hero' feel of it, and it would be really hard for Bungie to convincingly introduce them to people who had not read the books.
There may well be a book about Halo 3 which contains their efforts and achievements during Halo 3, but I can't see it in the game.

In what form? Actual teammates fighting alongside you, or radio chatter of distant missions?

Keep telling yourself that:

Wrote By Shishka: However, what you fail to realize is that the books act as flavor for the hardcore. Guess what? Out of the millions that have bought and played the second Halo, only a tiny handful have actually READ these books. As such, it'd be unwise to reference the books directly in the game, as the reference would be obscure and misunderstood by the majority of players. The books enhance the games, not the other way around.

PS: The Update is now up, people. Check it out.

if you look on the halo 1 box up in the right corner it says this "You are the last of your kind.Bred for combat built for war, you are the master of any weapon pilot of any vehicle... and fear no enemy." It says you are the last of your kind, showing that the game will not have any spartens because obviosly the books don't relate to the game


That was just stupid to say. If you read the books you would know they find another spartan in space frozen and they take her to be healed. C'mon people. get real

hey guys here is away for all of u to think about the halo games and the books think about like spider man comics in this example will use 2 of the comics ultimate spider man and the original spider man it the same story told in 2 different ways but they are set in 2 different universes now lets apply this to halo we will say halo the game is the oringinal halo and the books are ultimate halo there basically the same thing just told differenty and set in two different univeres

bungie already told us that the game will not parallel the books story.

those 3 "mystery" lights in his visor are reflections from the environment. he's not contacting any other spartans. ppl are only seeing things that they ' want ' to see.

this is master chief's show. it has been him this whole time and it will end with him and only him.

The books are canon, bungie has said that personnaly.

if you are going to knock the books, at least read them first so you dont sound like an idiot,

MC, at the time of H1, thought he was the last spartan (and hated himself for it) until he left instalation 04 and returned to reach and rescued 7 spartans, 3 of which died on the journey to Earth

At that point in time in the Halo universe it was thought that John was the last Spartan. There was no way of knowing that there were surviving Spartans.


We didnt even know his name was John. (I think)

And he hated himself rightly so. If a Squad Commander is the only surviving person out of a Squad, he usually hates himself for not dying with his men. Happens all the time. I have read the books, they were well written. But I have to say that with what the Bungie employees have said that there will almost certainly be no other Spartans. With all due respect, you really don't need any other Spartans. Did you have trouble beating the game? No. YOU are the only one needed to 'Save The World.'

Please have examples when you try to give proof- it just makes it sooo much easier to agree with when you have proof considering no one has officially said yea or nay to the presence of more SPARTANs in Halo 3

*sigh.*


having READ the books i do konw wut im talkin about. but this is Master Chiefs show. why would they introduce all these new characters that we suddenly have to get into ?

master chief is more than a super soldier. he's a symbol. he's something special. he alone has handled the halo problem and it will be him who resovles it by himself.

and that whole "communicating " lights............is PURE RUBBISH. there . i said it. its a trailor, come on. why would he all of sudden, in the midst of this tragedy contact these obscure characters that are irrelevant to the trilogy storyline?

i would say that the majority of halo players are casual gamers who dont know anything about the back story. some of my friends who've had this game dont even know what Gravemind is, and theyve had this game since day one.

i dont wanna campaign an afterthought, but eventually, that's all it's gonna be. xbox live is gonna be what sells the systems, not the campaign. so why would bungie start dropping these random spartans in for no apparent reason to confuse those who dont know the books? i can picture it now:

"wtf? more master chiefs? this doesnt make sense.........?"

bungie has NO time to get into the other spartans history. there is just joo much going on in H3 to start ANOTHER subplot (remember the main questions thatll be answered is the history of the prophet, the forerunner, and the halos/ark)

just spitting random spartans out in the story is gonna clutter it. this is chief's show
