Again, I still find the whole "it will confuse people" argument to be relatively weak. It will only confuse people if it is not explained well, or implemented well- in which case, I totally don't want them there. However, if Bungie can, in a way that will HELP and not hurt the story, include Spartans and bring others up to speed- I can't wait to see them.
It will only be confusing if it's done WRONG. After all, were the prophets confusing? Why not? Because Bungie knows how to tell a good story. Was Miranda Keyes confusing? Or how about the inclusion of the Arbiter? Or the ODST's? None of those were confusing additions to the story (some were in the books, others weren't) because Bungie knew JUST how to introduce them to the Halo population in the games. I agree, some things might be confusing to the audience, but new Spartans? Those will be the easiest things to include, I think.
Like I said, I only hope to see them if it's done well. If not, I don't really care. Personally, it makes a lot of sense to me to include 4 Spartans in the Co-Op mode. That would rock hardcore.
