I was bored today so I decided to count every visible cruiser in the trailer (even the really small ones in the background). I came up with 33

Now I don't know if this is coincidence or fete but there were 33 spartans, could it be another easter egg or just a random event?

I am...whimsical today.

If you're looking for number games, see how many pairs of pylon-things the Artifact raises :)

Hm, without even looking at the trailer, by the tone of your post, I would guess...se7en?
From what I remember from the book, the number of spartans dwindled considerably, and 33 was not a notable number of spartans during the dwindling.

lol you made me count properly :P
When watching the trailer I could only see 13 at a time, but in the two images I looked at one was blocking another. Luckily the one being blocked switches, so I counted 14 :) 7 pairs.

I just went back and watched the trailer and there are more than 33 covie ships. You have to keep looking even after the pylons raise because more come into view.

This is either just a coincidence or Bungie just wants to make sure everyone could count.(And by everyone I mean anyone with a LOT of time on their hands.)

When I say 33 spartans I was referring to the number of working spartans that were left after the training and special traetment to make them stronger.

Out of the 70 that had the augmentations performed on them only 33 were left in any condition for combat, some died and some were left unfit for combat.
