theres gonna be multiple spartans in the graphic novel

but keep them out of the story. seriously we've made it this far without them. i dont want kelly fighting by my side, or Fred flintstone, or linda whatever

it WILL ruin the experience. chief is something special, something unique..........more spartans would take that away from him..........

Ah, thank you Gunshark for the ID numbers, and yes I do believe your idea could work as well. But don't forget William-043, he's still alive, and squads are usually 4 people.

Edit: What is this Spartan-III project, is this in the books, cause I sure as heck don't remember it.
Ackerson demanded the DNA from the Spartan-IIs

He checked the bodies of the Flash Cloned kids to rrplace them all after they were kidnapped..maybe to see what went wrong?

Mendez (Spartan-II trainer) went to train the next batch of Spartans

Ackerson had a file named "S-III" and "KING UNDER THE MOUNTAIN" that Cortana found..King returns to the Forerunner crystal in the huge, circular room buried under the Mencahete (sp?) Mountain.

Ackerson had a secret "weapons" project that is on par with the Spartan-II project.

Chiron TL34 is nicknamed "Spartan Clone Training Complex"...so could this be the S-IIIs?
---------------
There are also 9 Spartans besides the MC alive...when looking at the image, take into account that only Spartans can enter an atmosphere like that, and a few levels that were MC's "second coming" to Earth were cut out of Halo 2..this image is from before the time constraints made that happen.

John
Fred
Will
Linda

35 hours away from Earth at the end of First Strike..

Kelly
MIA with Dr Halsey (Spartans' creator) on a secret mission, most likely to uncover what Ackerson is up to on Coral?[i]

James
[i]MIA above Reach during the beginning of the attack of Reach...near many friendly ships (a group of Marines escaped from Reach and back to ONI base at Earth, in a Prowler)


Cassandra
Mentioned in the extra booklet of Halo 2, she is the Spartan who was oto injured..though she was getting her "skin" (MJOLNIR) back soon..

SPARTAN -062
[i]One of the previously unnamed Spartans (there were 3) he/she is mentioned in the Halo raphic novel, testing the MJOLNIR Mk VI (armor for Halo 2)'s ability to enter the Earth's atmosphere.


Unnamed
Unnamed

Most likely at Earth, along with -062 and possibly Cassandra? The Mk VI needs testing.

9 Spartan
wasn't there 9 banshees guarding the phantom in the announcement trailor?
and in the Q and A someone asked about new characters and the part of the answer was the banshee pilots.

Nah, the banshee thing is a little far fetched, since there's so many Covenant vehicles around...Spartan's don't know the Flight Patterns..Joshua got shot down when they nuked the Covenant ship in low Orbit on Reach..

I also think there was around 9 'shees..I dono.

I believe they said the Banshee Pilots, because no one was Piloting the Banshees...people noticed this, and they wanted to point out that the Banshees will not have auto pilot ;-)

from my persective not reading any of the books just playing the game it may be right to introduce them at the end of the game and expalin that they were in the makes between all of the fighting so people who just paly the game can understand where they com from possiblly a squad of them that would be cool but that is just me

having more spartans would be unheard of

the back of the H1 box clearly says:

"You are the last of your kind."

(LoL i dont know why i keep bringing that up ! )

i think in halo 3 they should show a cut seen in the beggining showing the history of the spartans from being abducted to being trained to being agumented to their first fights with the covenent to when reach was invaded and almost all of them died to survivors on earth

adding more spartans has nothing to do with the story plot

we've followed one person this whole time. no need to give us 5 more for no reason whatsoever

maybe they can be like Sgt. Johnson and Miranda during campaign, they cant die. of course then it would be kind of easy. maybe they should just be in cutscenes or small parts of levels
