I am...whimsical today.

If the rest were still alive, then why were they not present at the award ceremony? Why did we also hear nothing of them during the game? It would make no sense to introduce new characters when the MC has been billed as the lone Spartan II survivor for the past two games. The story really has no place for more Spartans.

The raised death rate was most likely caused by the combination of the procedures, and using higher than experimented levels of the substances. Also the fact that the test subjects were Binobo Chimpanzees, which may have had different anatomical reactions to the 'enhancements' that were introduced.

Everyone Knows he's not the "Lone" spartan. The other 25 Spartans were HIDDEN away from the UNSC so they didn't die and then end up being needed. They're hidden so they can be used when they're needed.

If it was squad based it would be cool because then you could do 4 player co-op. They can't make to much like brute force though.

That was linda. but then she got hurt again. On Reach. That's why she's not in Halo CE


Actually, she was critically wounded during the operation to destroy the Circumference's map and data logs, but was transported onto the Pillar of Autumn.

She IS ON BOARD during Halo CE because of the fact that there is a second cryotube room with the windows of the cryotube fogged up and flatlined vital readings. That is Linda-058's cryotube, which was jettisoned as the Pillar of Autumn crashed and picked up by the Master Chief at the beginning of First Strike.

You suck, 4 spartans would be amazing. Besides they didn't die. Linda was injured and Will and Fred were off on another mission.

Well I hope Fred, Will, and Linda fight with the Chief in the final game. It would be pretty sweet. Although i'm sure the other Spartans on Reach died from battling the Covenant ground forces, and of course through the surgery and training of becoming the Spartans.

Will and Fred flew to the Autumn in a Lonsword Fighter in order to get off Reach.

Constant state of war, of one, with all.

Most of the Spartans went to the surface of Reach to fight off the Covies. They couldn't take the mack gun emplacements on the ground (generators). Chief and a couple others went to a space station to secure corrdinates to Earth. Covies couldn't get them.
While yes the surface was glassed, the spartans hid in the CASTLE moutain structure, which the Covies didn't glass. They were looking for the artifact in the mountain.
Chief went to halo and came back to see what happened. He barely found the other spartans and escaped with a rag tag group of people.
After narrowly stopping the Covies from coming to Earth, they all are headed to Earth. Then Halo 2 starts. We are not told where the other spartans go to.

That is the summary of the books, and games. For more info, just ask.

FYI - This is approved and stamped Bungie material. The books do matter.

At the end of First Strike, there are 4 Spartans headed to Earth. As to what happened between the book and the end of Halo 2, I have no idea, so these Spartans could be alive or dead.
Also, there are three Spartans that were not at Reach to begin with, so it is possible that they are alive.
As to 25 Spartans being hidden somewhere, since when do all surgeries have a perfect success rate, particularly one of such complexity. The 5% death rate was only one side effect. A combination of the others, or rejection of the new materials being put into the bodies, or simply the random mishaps that happen when someone is in surgery could very easily have killed the other Spartans.

The fact of the matter is that there are eight to nine Spartan-II's left alive and anywhere from one to an infinite number of Spartan-III's.

Since this is the last, great battle, the UNSC would probably have every man, woman, and child in the military (if they are able to fight).

By the way where does it say Ackerson is working on Spartan III's? He has the full files on the Spartan II's, but does that mean he is making more of the same project he doesn't like? He even states in the books he thinks the program was a flop and mistake, as was Dr. Haisley. The doctor took one of the Spartans for this reason I think, to battle whatever Ackerson has gotten cooked up.

The doctor discovers a file labeled SIII adn some other stuff in his computer, including a star chart reference and a complete set of files on the Spartans, including genetic information and the information on cloning techiniques used to make the clones that were sent back to the families of the kidnapped Spartan kids.

Linda wasn't injured on Reach...not exactly. She was injured while fighting the Covenant on a doomed ship where MC and her had to destroy the ship's data cube proccessor.

Also..she wasn't found on the Pelican. John tied a tether to his suit and jumped out of the back of the Longsword and found a small set of three conected cryo tubes. Linda was in one of them.

Also...I believe it was Mendez who was going to train the "next crop of Spartans."

The game isnt based off the books.
