Subject: proof there will not be more spartens in halo 3

Posted by: ICEMAN ASSASS1N
*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



clutter removal: Flashback
a flashback cutscene/intro level could explain enough to keep a causual halo player's brain from exploding while still allowing the story to go deep enough for hardcore fans

I don't have to repost anything. Check out this t hread. There is your proof. Happy now?


just wondering, but if you are referencing the shiska quote, he has nothing to do w/ game/story development so take development quotes from him w/ a grain of salt

hey apocalypse, im not tryying to start any beef wit you, so plz dont think i consider you a target or something. on the contrary, i think youre one of the intellectuals on the thread. but i have to agree w/lone heretic on this one. for me, its just that theres too much to do in the game and seeing this other spartans would.........take away that "intimacy" we have with MC (did that sound wrong?)

but thats just me. i appreciate youre feedback on my thoughts

Oh I was just referring to the quotes in general. And as of now, everything should be taken with a grain of salt as the game is not currently released for public analyzation, just take it for what it is worth.

i think you misunderstood me as well.....
NEVER IN A MILLION YEARS would i want another spartan playable, but having them there, fighting alongside you, even just in a few missions would be awesome

and i really want to see Linda give those legendary snipers what theyve been askin for

Yes you must remember that the Master Chief was not the most skilled Spartan (in my opinion it was Linda, but anyway) he just had a knack for leadership. MC has been made into an icon, he is the last hope for everyone. Sure he will get help from Johnson and Arbiter, but he is the one that will be taking on the full brunt. Seeing "better," Spartans in the game would ruin this image, and would therefore disappoint.

Yes. We do. I respect your opinion.

  • 06.16.2006 5:51 PM PDT

but i do agree that more playable spartans would ruin the game

Just to add some light humor, those of you who want more playable Spartans should just go play Co-op or something.

if there was more than one spartan it would take away from the specialness of MC. He would not be that spectacular any more. I doubt Bungie would do that in the final game of the trilogy. Thats like if there were to suddenly be two all-powerful rings in the final book of the LOTR trilogy. Doesnt really had pizazz to the story, and in fact I believe it takes away from it. Besides, where would these other spartans be? And dont you think once -blam!- really started to hit the fan the would have whipped them out in Halo 2? IF they exist SOMEONE knows about them and someone would have taken them and used them in halo 2. As well, the human defense was obliterated by the covenant so the chances of any preserved Spartans surviving is slim to none because well they have no defense other than that tube that MC was kept in.

its not that hard to figure out...just think a little.


please, please read more than the initial post before posting, what you said is almost verbatum in some other posts and has been disproven as far as possible

  • 06.16.2006 6:33 PM PDT

No one dies a virgin because life screws us all.

if you read the books on Halo there were other spartens other than the MC. but i dont think they will be put into Halo 3 because how would they fit into gameplay? would they be like the marines that bumble around and get killed? they just wouldnt fit into the gameplay.

Bungie already confirmed that there will be NO MORE Spartans did they not?


No they didn't.

And read the books. "cough cough "loser" cough cough"

I think it is totally possible to see another spartan in the game. Just, you wouldn't be playing alongside them unless it were the last level or something. You know, in the books (I think) there is only one other spartan other than John, and it's some chick. So, at the very least, she should make an appearance in the final cut scene while they're looking at the sunset together. You know: happilly [lubby-dubby] after, the end; that old mumbojumbo.
I don't know, it just seems like the books would be a total waste if the other "last" Spartan were to never turn up. Besides, I wanna see how totally fine that chick's body was after all that Spartan training.

Apperantly you have failed to gather the correct information to make an accurate decision to me being a "loser." For you information, not only have I read the books, I OWN them. Obviously you have not read any of my recent posts in this thread. I have quite a bit of well-mannered speculation and a reference to a thread with tons of quotes made by Bungie employees and the authors of the books. You can gather from the quotes that there will be no more Spartans.

She would likely resemble a medium-weight lifter.

Yeah lol that's what they thought, they assumed that because when you generally assume the Covenant is glassing your planet, you assume those planetside are dead. But you shouldn't assume, when you assume, you make and ASS our of U and ME.

thats not proof at all... it is widely known that there are more then one spartan remaining. If it was on the halo 2 cover then I may understand, but this is nothing.
