the person who started this should shutup and accept no more spartans are going to be in this game

the only reason more spartans came in was because someone said there were acknowledgment lights

this was the only way it came up and if u look closely it is only thunder showing in his mask

Constant state of war, of one, with all.

May I ask how you know that there will be no other Spartans in the story of the game?

No, the reason more Spartans came in was because at the end of First Strike we know that at least three other Spartans were still alive, and possibly as many as 6.

Who is making you buy Bungie's game?

If you want to get the most out of the game, you will take it onto yourself to do so, and you can only do that completely by totally understanding the story.

Don't blame Bungie because you were too lazy to go get the whole story before getting the third game.
Bungie knows that very few people will read the books. This means that what ever they deem vital to the story, THEY WILL PUT IN THE GAMES.

Why does everyone say "The books should not make an impact on Halo 3"..do you mean the Halo bible, which has influenced everything Halo up until now, and will do so with Halo 3?

You're saying it as if the books are not part of the Halo story.
They are indeed a part of the Halo story, but not to the extent that the very understanding of Halo 3's plot should rely on them. Games and books are two different things, and not many people are equally satisfied with both.

I agree, I just want Bungie to tell the story. If that means more SPARTAN's, then throw 'em in there (to tell the story), if not, leave 'em out. Simple stuff.

Exactly- and I totally agree with what he was saying. I wish people wouldn't get worked about so much of this stuff. I'll admit, I've gotten heated up, but never at the idea that there won't be- just people being close-minded and saying that it WILL not and SHOULD not happen. We won't know until Halo 3- and honestly, while I would like to see 4 Spartans in a co-op mode, I'll be happy as long as I'm playing the game.

What the hell are you saying u idiot? Get your damn facts straight before you act all dam smart but in reality make yourself look stupid.If there is one thing I hate is when ppl talk all smart when all they know -blam!- The reason we talk of other spartans was because of first strike not because of some alleged acknowlegment lights which by the way was dealt with long time ago. We know its the lighting. So don't go insulting ppl if you don't know your facts. And how the hell do you know if there are not going to spartans? Do you work at Bungie ?No!!
Your right Bungie does not need to compensate for those who did not read the books because they are smart enough to introduce them properly with style.

I have not seen a thread with such passion before. Honestly. What is with everyone calling each other names? Anyways...

I agree with MLG saying that if they can incorporate some of the books lore into cutscenes to further enhance the story more power to them. But, as it was said before, the story is already being implemented to Halo 3. Whatever they decided to put in to the story of the SP mode is done.

In movies you see sequels that have a narrator go back and explain previously untold parts of the story. Great example is watching Firefly then watching Serenity. While this is a game and not a movie, are not the two mediums coming closer together?

By the way, if you think the books are boring, too bad. Bungie signed off on them. They are part of the over arching story. Just because the books don't include someone pulling a trigger every page doesn't make it boring.

I have read the books and don't think I am in a special club that makes me better. I just hate it when people who try to pretend they know the whole story and have only played the two games.
Nicely put.

No, the reason more Spartans came in was because at the end of First Strike we know that at least three other Spartans were still alive, and possibly as many as 6.

1. John
2. Linda
3. Fred
4. Will
5. Kelly
6. Cassandra (The one too injured)
7. -062 from the graphic novel, too far from Reach to be recalled for the mission..we know he/she was at Earth testing the Mk VI armor..
8. Unnamed, most likely at Earth testing the armor
9. Unnamed, most likely at Earth testing the armor
10. James is also still possibly alive..after all a few Marines/ONI got away from Reach in that Prowler..why wouldn't a Spartan be able to?

Uh, Forerunner1660, I don't think that everyone doesn't like the books just because a trigger isn't pulled ever page. It's just that it could have been written better. Great material, good writer who made a few mistakes.

All I'm saying is that the books seem to lack a certain quality, that is, ............Haloish, it seems more like one of his novels than a true Halo styled story, but yea, I guess you expect every authors different style.

This is what I think:

Let them sit in their confusion.

I don't want to not have an awesomely detailed and longer game because they don't know what's been going on, I want things to be resovled and I want a lot of the story to be involved, such as Colonel Ackerson and Dr. Halsey, I also want to see other Spartans (obviously I don't want to play as them, but I want to see some interaction with the Chief as well as the Marines) so things can be as big they can, not just because of Bungie's inituative and creative talent.

The ODSTs were also described as musclebound hardmen almost as tough as Spartans; I recently saw a thread in which the ODSTs should be tougher, as in Halo 2 there is only one instance you get to fight along the ODSTs and they get destroyed easily on Legendary, and these are guys who can rival Spec-Ops Elites.

Who agrees?



I was thinking the same thing on the Dr. Hasley thing. I wanna know what happend to her and the spartan she took off with.....
