I'm actually hoping they make Fall of Reach a movie.. It's got an incredible plot and great chracters. :)
Actually, I think the movie is gonig to be based off of the Fall of Reach.

I think the real quote is "Only two things are infinite, the universe and human stupidity, and I'm not sure about the former."

See, but I don't understand the argument of "nobody has read the books"... I mean, Bungie can EASILY catch people up with a quick cut scene. I mean, when the prophets showed up in Halo 2 (I hadn't read the books at this point), I wasn't like "WTF IM SO CONFUSED WHO R THEOSE GuySSs!!!!!11!", I was just like, "Oh, I guess those are the leaders of the Covenant". That was pretty much it. I didn't need a long explanation. I saw them on the screen, and I put two and two together. It's called deductive reasoning :)
Likewise, for Halo 3, you don't really need much explanation. I mean, really, if all they did was show three other Spartans walking with Master Chief, and he says "Good to have you back", that's really all that you need- coming to a work of fiction means accepting it on its own terms. Even if they didn't go into any background about who these Spartans were or why they were there, if I hadn't read the books, I might be like "Oh, I guess there are other Spartans", and that would be the end of my line of thought.
And I also don't buy the whole "they'll steal the spotlight" argument. In the books, NONE of the Spartans (and there are like 60 of them at one point) steal the spotlight from MC- because he is the most unique one. He's not the fastest, the strongest, or the smartest, but he is the most adaptable, and the one that REFUSES to lose. The other Spartans all look up to him, and know he'll find a way through- I feel like this could only HELP the spotlight on MC, rather than hurt it.
Also, as to the quote about there not being other Spartans in Halo 2- that was Halo 2- Halo 3 is a totally different game. I think since this is the conclusion to the storyline, I can't see a more important place for the last remaning Spartans to be than on Earth, finishing the Fight.
And as to the "No New Characters" thing- I keep hearing this, and I'm pretty sure it's total bs- besides, the remaining Spartans aren't "new" characters, anyway- they've been around sicne the first book :)
I agree. A simpe cutscene could introduce new Spartans. And for the people who are saying they will steal the spotlight, who says they have to be in the level with you? Maybe then can just show up in cutscenes or do other missions. If they are going to be in the game, maybe they'll be somewhere else in the level, where all of you are going for the same objective, but have different roles to where it won't steal the spotlight.
