I may be a newish member to bungie.net but I have played the Halo games on legendary and read all of the books several times. Wouldn't it be great if bungie and microsoft casually added in a backstory for the other surviving spartans? Think about this, you can play as the Arbiter on some of the levels on Halo 2 and it switches back to Master Chief, so why not play Halo 3 as usual with Master Chief then swap over to another spartan survivor (out of Linda, Fred, Will, not Kelly though because she's with Dr. Halsey) then swap back over to Master Chief. I liked the Arbiter in Halo 2, but unfortunately there's only a limit to what he can do in Halo 3, so maybe not include him.

I would like to play as another spartan. Not as much time as you would spend playing as the MC tho. Maybe different Spartans could have different strengths in gameplay (example. Arbiter Camo vs. Chief flashlight). Maybe for Linda (the awesome sniper) when you press a certain button time slows and it's easier to snipe. Or for Will (I think he's the really strong one, right?) his melee attacks could instantly kill for a period of time. That'd be pretty cool. I don't know. just some ideas... don't flame me.

Read the books.
Halo 1= 1 Spartan... at the same time as Halo (not in the game) there were others on Reach
Halo 2= 1 Spartan and 1 Elite (what would be the difference if more spartans were added {at least in gameplay})
Halo 3= more Spartans because they actually exist in the Halo Universe

I'm not saying that they should or would overshadow the Chief. They'd be backup, kind of like Marines. The Chief is the Hero and I wouldn't want that to be taken from him. In the books (I know many havn't read them although I suggest they do) the other Spartans are his family. I think that the Chief being re united with his family and then kicking some Covvie a** would be an awesome way to end this story arch.
