Yea it would be a plot twist, but that would be just dumb, I mean, they would throw everyone for a loop, but then the people who havnt read the books would be like-- " what? THIS SUCKS!!"

They wouldnt get it methinks, a load of people I'm guessing haven't read the books, but I think that if Bungie HAD incoporated the rest of the plot into the previous games that would have been sweet, I just don't think Bungie will just introduce everyone at once, it seems kind of silly.

Very silly.

theres no TIME to introduce spartans and clutter the game

seriously just let the chief do his thing already, those lazy ass spartans were nowhere to be seen and i would be damnd if they ever shared any of the glory that MC deserves

(joking around, but i do think its true)

If you introduce the Spartans, wouldnt that mean Dr. Hasley, Colonel Ackerson, AND the Spartan 3's, I mean, what would be the point of that, it would be kind of stupid methinks, do you really want it? I mean, you guys can have the ending you want in the books, because apparently you like them more, but the game is different, no matter what Bungie officials say. They are not the same.

right. NOT THE SAME

i dont care about colonel akerson or dr. hasely or fred flintstone or barney rubble or linda or kelly or frank

all i care about is MC and HIS story, and 90% of the ppl who play the game will agree

( my opinion and nothing more )

Yep mine too. Did you see the E3 2003 trailer? That's what I would have wanted to see.

MLG, a few others and I talked about this. We came to the conclusion that a long cutscene at the beginning of the game, explaining and introducing.

Sorry, I really don't think twisting, bending and otherwise forcing the story to fit a spartans reunited scenario is worth it, especially when it only serves the purpose of quenching fanboy thirst.
I agree with you, because I don't want any other Spartans, I think it is a terrible idea. No where did I say I wanted or thought there would be more Spartans. Owned.

Stating 'owned' at the end of your posts is a quick way to acknowledge that any reader would struggle to perceive any 'owning' going on at all.

I state again; it is not worth forcing the story to fit a scenario where spartans could return, such a move would only serve the purpose of satisfying a fan's desire to see them. Nowhere did I mention you or what you want, you clown. It was a direct reply to your post about explaining it with a long cutscene.

Here is where I would have typed 'owned' at the end of my post, if I was a complete numpty.
I don't ever say "owned," for I pride myself in having proper grammar. It was a completely rare occurrence and as such it should have been considered a joke. I hope you aren't offended, but apparently you were and decided to take a somewhat hostile stance for a reply; I hope that I am hardly considered a "Clown."

I don't want any Spartans or think there will be. I only agreed with the insane [that think there will be more Spartans, or rather, insist there will be more of them] that a good way to introduce more of them (Spartans) would be a long cut scene (but not like Final Fantasy [I deeply dislike Final Fantasy] ) explaining, for lack of a more blunt phrase, "what's what."

"I state again; it is not worth forcing the story to fit a scenario where Spartans could return...." I agree with the aforementioned in a literal manner, however, you including unnecessary sarcasm and satire forces me to somewhat lower my general opinion about the above quote.

"...such a move would only serve the purpose of satisfying a fan's desire to see them." This is your opinion only, but you stated it matter-of-factly, so be prepared. Bungie might have a completely different reason for the inclusion of more Spartans, I am NOT saying I agree with it, but you cannot say "...would only serve the purpose," because it is your opinion only, but you stated it as a supposed "fact," so it required me to address it.

"Nowhere did I mention you or what you want, you clown." This was unnecessary, I cannot understand why you felt you needed to call me a "Clown." But you are correct, you did not imply that it was what I wanted.

"Here is where I would have typed 'owned' at the end of my post, if I was a complete numpty." Really? Irrelevant, but still insulting. Wether or not you implied that I was a "Numpty," is also irrelevant, as that is how I took it, and will likely not change. Why do you feel you need to insult me? Did I offend you? If I did, I apologize but that still doesn't change the fact that you decided to include a derogatory comment in your post numerous times.

A big message appears at the start of the game. It goes something like this:

"THOSE WHO ARE TOO LAZY OR ILLITERATE TO READ THE THREE BOOKS WILL BE HENCEFORTH CONFUSED. SUCKS TO BE YOU.


HAVE A NOICE! DAY!"

^_^


LOL Funny...nice.

more spartans means longer backstory and introduction meaning a longer time of gameplay
so who in hell dosn't want that and if you dont want a loner campaign OR more spartans then you shall burn in hell you son of a -blam!-.

that which is not dead can eternal lie, but with strange aeons even death may die.

Just at the very end of the game, master chief is in a corner surrounder, etc. then just at the very end of the game before the "big end battle" spartans come from pods and kick @ss!

If Bungie kept the other Spartans alive in the Halo Bible, and the Halo novels (and hint towards more in both games) you can be damn sure that they want them in the game.

How does BUngie like to look upon the situation? They like to think of making the games for themselves, then the fans. (staed by Parsons, a Bungie employee). The more dedicated fans (that have read the books, and get the whole story) may seem like they are getting catered to more..but Bungie is just doing what they want. And guess what? We agree with it. You should just learn to deal.
