I think that wow... im going to be stoked when bungie blows us away with good cut scenes to add new spartans and explain the story for the people who are... not as inclined to read halo books.


There is no more Spartans in the Halo game universe! I know the books and the games are related but everyone should stop imagining that they are going to see another Spartan fighting with the MC. It's not going to happen.

And if it does happen, I will gladly prance down my street saying whatever anyone wants me to say.

We don't know that. There may be many more Spartans in the game universe.

You can't really introduce important characters this late. That's like waiting til the thrid movie the original Star Wars trilogy to introduce Darth Vader. Personally I really like your theory opog, but if you read the Halo one instruction booklet it says he's the last Spartan. I wouldn't be surprised though, if they did put new Spartans in.

I don't really want to see new Spartans introduced because that'll ruin the whole 'the fate of the galaxy rests on your shoulders' feel.

I'd like it if it happened in a dramatic fashion with the other Spartan dying after saving John. Imagine:

4 hunters enter the room, John is with his back against the wall. The hunters charge their guns and just as they're about to unleash a Spartan comes barreling into the room. The Spartan plants satchel charges very quickly and is then blasted with a FRG, the Spartan falls and activates the explosions. The building collapses on the unter and the lower half of the Spartan. John runs over and takes off the SPartan's helmet revealing either Linda or Kelly. Blood is running from her mouth. She begins talking to John about something and coughs up blood. She dies and John goes berserk. He runs out of the building and sees a brute. John rns at the brute and smashes into it at 60 KPH. The brute is smashed and the Chief goes on a rampage.

What's the thing with two mandibles, that looks like a shaved Brute in "Second Sunrise" ? lol

I believe that is Half-Jaw (the elite that helps you in the mission " The Great Journey". The story explains how he lost a part of his mandibles. But i don't know as I am not getting my copy til' this afternoon.
Half Jaw was at High Charity though..And he was missing his two left Mandibles, not both top ones.

New questions raised:

1) Who exactly is Spartan-062, Maria?

2) How does the SpecOps Elite get off the Flood infected ship? Did the Flood manage a Slipspace jump?

3) How does Johnson get off Halo 04 after fighting through the Quarantine Zone? Also, what is the object he is confronted with at the end of his chapter?

Feel free to add to the frenzy.


I have all of the same questions. This was supposed to answer many questions, but mostly all it did for me was bring more questions to the top.
I think 062 is one of the ones "too far in combat to be recalled", but "Combat" could be a coverup by ONI for the new armor testing, and she wanted to re-enlist to get on the battlefield..

I don't have it yet, but I think that she might be one of the original Spartan I's (Don't remember the actual name).

The original Spartans never had MJOLNIR, and were'nt augmented as much, so I doubt she would be able to use MJOLNIR..

But, a morel ikely candidate for an S-I is Johnson, or Mendez.

Mendez, possibly, Johnson, nope. The S-I's would be in their 60's or higher.

Possibly, though humans will be living to an average of 90+ at that time..you know that around 500 years ago, we only lived to be around 20-30 max?

Actually, I've heard the next generation will be able to live to 140. So 500 years from now, that number could very well be above 200....

i like how i think hgn will put down a lot of the stupid threads such as:

humans are the forunners-no they are not the flood exctinctified ( i know i made that word up)
them

oh, that thing in the trailer isnt the ark- oh, so its just a coincidence that you get to the ark through new mombasa?

BTW i loved the hgn (i got it today at gamestop) even though im not a comic book guy, i recommend to anyone, the only problem is i feel that everything but LVIS is alittle short and rushed

Depends on where you get it. I bought mine at GameStop for $24.99, but I believe Amazon.com is selling it for $16, plus shipping. I suppose B & N and Borders carry the item as well.

We are the Forerunner ancestor.

Why?

We are the Reclaimers (Reclaim the Galaxy)

We have Reclaimed all our Planets (All our main Planets have something Forerunner buried under them)

343 GS relates to us By saying "Human History" is it? A record of all our Lost time!

The Prophets want us dead because they want the power we once had

Ugh, don't turn this into a debate about more Spartans in Halo 3, or ForeRunner whatevers... let's just talk about what the HGN points towards in Halo 3.

1) I'm wondering if "Gravemind" is the leader of ALL the flood, or if there is a different consciousness that directs them on each installation. It seems to me that the one on the Infinite Succor seemed different than GM on High Charity- but perhaps that was because GM on High Charity had absorbed infinitely more corpses.

2) Interesting to find out that the ForeRunners were indeed at a war with the Flood, and beaten. I'm wondering if Gravemind has been around since then...?

3)The Spec-Ops commander has been confirmed to be Half Jaw in the HGN in the prologue before the story, as well as in a separate interview on IGN. It pretty much explains how the Half Jaw has run into the Flood before Halo 2. What I find interesting is that him and Sgt. Johnson's stories are eerily similar. I suppose he is indeed like the Sgt. Johnson to the Arbiter. I'm guessing we'll see more of him in Halo 3, then.

4) The thing that is most intriguing to me is the emphasis on the Flood's intelligence. This hasn't surfaced entirely in the games, and has only been hinted at. I'm guessing that this is going to become a major plot point in Halo 3- I'm also wondering if this ties into what happens with Cortana at all. What if, to possess more knowledge, Gravemind did indeed absorb Cortana? To me, the end result would be one insaaaaaane Flood consciousness.

5) I like seeing that the Ark is confirmed to be underneath the Earth, near Mombasa. Now, you must ask yourselves: if you accept this as fact in the Halo "game" universe, then you must accept the possibility that other Spartans exist, since they showed one in the HGN. Bungie wanted to carve out the Canon of Halo more with the HGN (hence, Sgt. Johnson's escape, Half Jaw's background with the Flood, the location of the Ark, etc).

6) I know I said earlier that we shouldn't debate about Spartans, so I'm not going to. But I am going to note that it is interesting that another Spartan is included, an "off-duty" retired Spartan at that- I'm wondering if this particular Spartan will show up in Halo 3, especially given all the hints about "re-enlisting", etc.
