Easy. Take a page from other games' books and say, "This is the Chief's old friend ______ that has come to help with the battle."

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.

Ya that right Pwnocchio Bungie can tell a great story and introduce new characters without confusing ppl espically the Arbiter. Plus the new spartans would not have to be playable just be there to make the story innovative and give a nice twist. Furthermore, to shatter the illusion that the MC was the last spartan.
The extra spartans could be in a mission but go different path while the MC goes a different path and give intel to the MC telling where enemies are and stuff. They could meet up with him at the end of missions. Also they could be with the MC fighting the covenant together.

ok this came to me in the last five seconds so just bear with me.

MC is still on the ship with Truth talking to lord Hood.

Hood: chief im sending in backup to hlep you
MC:with all due respect sir i doubt any number of marines o helljumpers for that matter can hlep me right now.
Hood: who the hell said anything about Helljumpers?
you then see a pelican fly twords the ship and dock with it somehow and later you hear an explosion and a brute/jackal or something screming in the next room. the door opens to reveal Will Fred and Linda. end Cutscene and then some other stuff happens form there.

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!"

^_^


That works. no, mi idea is, to use the cut scen idea. after the first level, show the chief facing 10 elites/brutes (w/e) and out of ammo. as the elites take aim, their heads explode, and 2 other spartens apper (i havent read the books in awhile. how many survied??) Fred and Linda. Have the cheif talk to them using a 'howd u get here' tone, presto, intros, then the lazy jerks who havent read the books wont think about that. Yes, no?? feedbak pls...


this is what set me off......and if replying to it is stupid to you.....too bad.........-slap-

Needs more work but thats may not be the best way to introduce new spartans. People could get really confused. But thanks for ur ideas its intresting.
