As those who read the Halo books know, 117 is not the only Spartan who lived after the Alpha Halo. Well on XBL, I heard some rumors that the Spartan in the Halo 3 trailer is not 117. Well if anyone has any information on this rumor please tell me. Only if you have info. Please do not spam or flame in this thread.

Location: Outlaws' Summit.

it is 117 (john)

not kelly
not linda
not fred
not fred flinstone
not barney rubble

this whole more spartans thing prolly wont end up in the game. its too confusing for the average gamer to be introduced to a war soldier named kelly............

Eh, anyway, it would help the storyline if all the remaining Spartans were actually in it. I'm into Halo for the storyline. Anyway, thanks for clearing that up.

Hated by many, confronted by none.

I also love the storyline. And I hope other SPARTANs will be in the game...please make this happen Bungie!

Here's a direct quote for those who don't want to look it up.
The Analizer asks,

Is the Spartan in the teaser trailer, John 117?

Yes.

Here's the real story, Halo #1 the marines are in a war against a alien group called the Covenant that has lasted for many years. For some time now, a little before the war, the Spartans were trained in combat, and other things on the planet Reach, being super soldiers. The Covenant discovered where Reach was, and I believe it was either captured or destroyed. Most of the Spartans were killed, and John was put into a cyrochamber. After he awoke and killed most Covenant that entered the ship, The Pillar of Atumn, he evacuated because the ship was going to be destroyed. His ship landed on the super weapon, installation 04, or "Halo", and he continued his war against the Covenant. He discovered this super weapon could destroy all sentient life, so he had to destroy this weapon. John was fighting the Covenant, Sentinals, and The Flood, and still managed to get to a ship in time before the installion was destroyed. I left out some details, but you guys should know what those details are. Since I only talked about Halo 1, I'll talk about Halo 2 later.

Please dont as we dont need a -blam!- history lesson on Halo or a condensed summarization or whatever the -blam!- it is youre doing. If youre on the forums its assumed youre a big fan and are have played the games meaning you should know what happened in them already. Besides the fact this thread is about that. As for this thread you should really read the stickies or better yet the Bungie updates as it has already been throughly confirmed that it is the Chief in the trailer


not quite exactly. it's best to assume that everybody doesnt know much about halo (when you get to a large thread) so that you can explain it better. just for example, lets say you wanted to tell the location of a skull, pretend the other person has never played halo 2, or even halo 1. this helps to explain things better in case you leave out details u assume they know.

anyways, i do think that there should be at least one other spartan in halo 3, although the both of you dont fight together. it would be sort of like a joint mission. while you do the regular campaign, the other spartan would be doing other stuff to help fight the covenant (instead of the masterchief doing all the work by himself or with the marines). then at some point you could play as that alternate spartan, who would have some different features (i.e., faster running like kelly or whoever was really fast, or perhaps a stronger melee since the masterchief is not the strongest spartan there is the masterchief is the best blend as far as i can tell).
