Haven't read the books so please dont get mad. I need help to understand why Srg. Johnson is still alive. Also, I hear some people saying that there might be other Spartans in Halo2. Is this right?

Sargeant Avery Johnson is something of a...mystery...in the Halo universe. He's seen in all sorts of cutscenes, from the end of Halo 1 to the 20003 E3 demo for Halo 2, and all sorts of levels in between. He's even a major character in First Strike, the third halo novel.

Thing is, the Sarge is just too damn good to DIE. Period.

In the book, it says that the flood did not take over his body, but did live some of their chemical make-up in his body. This gave the sarge a sort of regenerative shield capability according to Dr. Hasley. And as for SPARTANS, there is a good possiblity, but we are just going to have to wait.

he wasnt looney. There is a reasonable explanation for why he is still alive. GO READ THE BOOK

Well im trying to get him to force him too. What, is he illiterate? But BTW, they didnt take over cuz of that disease, cant remember what kind, or how he go it, i think it was over exposure to plama or something like that, but he had this disease that made the flood not like how he tasted. "Blech"a shroom uttered.

No, it's not really a good book. Also, it was Boren's Syndrome, from destroying a crate of plasma grenades to wipe out Covenant.

Ok, yes there r going to be more spartans in Halo 2....it says in First Strike that (i think) 5 survive and manage to regroup in the actual underground secret place and manage to meet up with their (mom) Dr. Hasley, thats where they get their new armor and kik ass weapons. What i believe thats going to happen in Halo 2 (from what it looks like from the book) is that the covenant think that the Forerunners might have placed another artifact on Earth (artifacts: actual halo, and the construct they recently found on Reach). This will lead an all front attack on Earth which will probably kill all of us....or so everyone thinks....but as for the seargeant just read the book its really interesting cause the Chief is actually askin the same question!

***FS Spoilers***

How about you read the book. And I quote from pg. 46:
* The shock only lasted a moment. John's reflexes kicked in --- he grabbed a handful of the man's uniform, kicked the hatch shut, and propelled both of them against the wall. With a lightning-quick motion he drew the newcomers pistol and aimed it squarely at the man's forehead.
* "You were dead" the Chief said. "I saw you die on Jenkins's mission record. The Flood got you."
* The black man smiled a set of perfect white teeth. "The Flood. Hell, Chief, it'll take more than a pack of walking alien horror-show freaks to take out Sergeant A.J. Johnson."

Only a looney would smile while a gun is pointed at his head. You are the one that needs to read the book agian.

In a recent video interview with Pete Parsons on Xbox.com. He said that Halo 2 will be shortly after Halo ended and First Strike will fill in some of the gaps. To me this seems to point out that we will play through some of the major events of First Strike.

Fun facts:
Boren's Syndrome protected Johnson from the Flood.
Some dude by the last name of Boren did something having to do with the Halo book(s?).
Boren's Syndrome isn't a real medical term.

Yall do the math. :-)
