Before i actually answer the question, (sorry there buddy i kno a lot of people that post are damn stupid) i must put out there for you all, i disagree with the decision to leave out Spartans but i think bungie has the same thinking, because after First Strike, Will, Fred(blue leader) and Linda were with John/Master Chief on they're way to Earth. If Bungie wanted to introduce them in the game, they would have in Halo 2, but they didn't, probably because they didnt want to confuse people! What i'm sayin is if Bungie wanted to they would have by now, which is truly a shame. Another thing is Bungie told us this is the last game in this PLOT LINE. Read between the lines people. Maybe they will make a seperate series to follow Fred or something.
However, if Bungie did change their minds about that, then I believe it is doable, look at Sgt, Johnson, they never explained his survival, he was dead in Halo: CE so who says they need to explain anything? READ THE BOOKS!! haha thats what they want, so just do it.
Here's how i think they will do it if they do, Hood says chief get back to Earth, the spartans that survived reach are here and they need your help! Good enough explanation to me.
My opinion : Extra would make a kick ass addition to the game if they don't play it out, similar to the cameo's that Johnson or Miranda made in Halo 2, not much actual fighting with them but a few reunions and seperations and reunions, that type thing, but i would hate Arbiter-esque playable characters, but they MUST be included somehow, they aren't as insignificant as people think.
there i'm done.
