For all you guys who keep bringing up the cloned MC/Spartan issue, this was taken from a 20+ page thread of mine that focused on the clone issue:)
Jamie Griesemer (Halo 2 Design Lead) -
[color=white]“All through Halo 1 we were putting in hooks for Halo 2. Almost nothing in Halo 1 was random. I think a lot of people are going to play Halo 2 and then go back and play Halo 1, because they’ll see a lot of things they didn’t see before.”(p.222)[/color]
This quote was taken from EGM issue # 160. Some of you may remember this particular issue of EGM, because it had a huge 15 page Halo 2 article. Many regard this article to be the most accurate and informative article on Halo 2 to date, even more so than the original OXM Halo 2 article. Griesemer plants two ideas in the readers mind; those being, almost nothing in Halo 1 was random, and all throughout Halo 1 there are hooks pointing towards Halo 2. This is something I’ve been pondering on ever since I read that article back in November of 2002, and I would ask that you keep these thought in mind while reading this thread.
Many of us who’ve read First Strike have had a sneaky suspicion that Col. Ackerson is up to something BIG. Being a bit more specific, many people believe that he has started a Spartan type of program of his own. Quotes from the book such as, [color=white]"Something extraordinary had just been revealed - there was some kind of backup plan on par with the Spartan program, and Ackerson was behind it"(p.103 FS)[/color], or [color=white]"He had heard of Ackerson's alternative program to the Spartan-IIs"(p.105 FS)[/color] have been used as support for these accusations. No picture, info, nor interview, that I'm aware of, has been given on the subject of Ackerson’s secret project; however, I believe what we’ve been searching for has been lurking under our noses this whole time.
I’d first like to point out a theory I wrote awhile back titled The Most Conclusive Theory EVER Written. Many of you may remember it, seeing as how it was a sticky for some time. For those of you who don’t know of it, here is a run down of it’s contents. I basically tried to show that Ackerson knew of Halo before the Pillar of Autumn “blindly” jumped to it, and that he was using clones of the Spartans (MC) on a secret mission to Halo. There’s a LOT more to it than that, and if you’re interested, then click on the link provided. Back to the point, though. From what I remember, many seemed to have a problem with the idea of a cloned MC being sent to Halo, or there even being clones of the Spartans. The argument being, the original clones died off from the imperfections in the cloning process, and there is no proof to show that the cloning process was perfected to a point in which Ackerson could use clones of the Spartans in one of his own projects. I tried to show evidence that there were indeed clones of the Spartans through the S-III file, and Ackerson’s extreme interest in the cloning process; however, I forgot to point out one major detail, which was reminded to me in a conversation I had with DualWieldinFreak.
I’m sure most all of us have noticed what I’m about to say, but I think many of us placed it on the coffee table of our mind to examine later... don’t hit yourself when you read this. If you have the time, turn on your Xbox, place a copy of Halo in the disc tray, go to the multiplayer section, pick split screen, pick your profile, and then highlight the level Chiron TL34. Just stare at the screen for a moment. Do you see anything interesting? Here’s a hint, look at the description of the level. The description of the level Chiron TL34 is, [color=white]“Spartan CLONE Training Complex”[/color]. As Griesemer himself stated, almost nothing in Halo 1 is random, and after playing Halo 2 things in Halo 1 will start to become much clearer. I believe this may be one of those murky things in Halo 1 that will be expanded upon in Halo 2. According to the actual game Halo there is a training complex for cloned Spartans. There are clones of the Spartans running around somewhere in the Halo universe... I don’t think I can state that enough.
