3 of them are on mission too far off to be recalled easily
Kelly is out in space somewhere
And Fred and Linda and i think 1 or 2 other spartans are probably either fighting on earth, or out on other planets fighting.
The Books and games are seperate entities, as bungie has said, and as i have repeated countless times in this forum. THE BOOKS AND GAMES HAVE SEPERATE STORYLINES! Sure, there are many similarities, but Bungie siad they hve no intention of making the games like the books.
No offense. Have you read any of the books? Halo: The Flood follows the Halo CE storyline almost identically. Everything in Halo video games are covered in the halo books. To say they are different stories is utterly wrong. The books just fill in the gaps in the Halo story. Fall of Reach told us the story before Halo CE, The flood is basically Halo CE, and First strike fills us in before Halo 2.
Think of it this way. Bungie creates the story through the game. Than the author creates a story that takes place before or after the story in the bungie game. The author makes the story fit according to the Halo universe. There have been no major contradictions between the books and the Halo story. And If you check any Halo fansite, especially the HBO site, they use the Halo books heavily as a source for the Halo story. Most of what we know about SPARTANS, Their Armor, and Forerunner come from the books. If we didnt read the books we would be clueless on any of those topics.
