B a n a n a s

Hello all...

Put simply, i want to know why Bungie has kept contradicting themselves regarding the MC being the " LAST Spartan"

After reading the books, we know this is not true. More than 5 ( i think somewhere near 6-8) other spartans still exist...

So, why on the Bungie Halo Xbox page and the back cover for their game, do they say insist MC is the last spartan?

hell, even in one of the other spartans (Linda) was IN HALO ONE!( she was in Cryo Bay B, look it up, dont talk about that in here, i'm not talking about that point....)

my old thought- of the UNSC, or regulars in the human army, did not know of another spartan, but this cannot be...on the level Pillar of autumn, i would say most of those Cryo Bay B engineers were NOT very high in the Army levels...

So why, Bungie? Why have you contradicted yourselves? If you could, coudl you please say WHY, and if oyu cannot say, can you at least admit that you can't / wont?




Its really starting to make me wonder...

yeah, eric nylund and william c dietz did. they went by the Bungie bible, but that doesn't mean that it has to tie in with the games FULLY

Because they aren't really officially tied in, they just gave Nylund a story and said "Run with it."

The books are his stories, not Bungie's.

The books are his stories, not Bungie's.
They give him conflicts (Reach, Circumference, UH, etc.) and help build upon it, while they flesh out the characters from the Halo bible (Tartarus, Truth, Hood, Linda, Kelly, Sam, etc.) and then he writes up the action sequences.

Books and games have the exact same story. Get over it people.


And they're not contradicting themselves, in Halo he was thel ast known Spartan-II from Reach. FoR was released before Halo, so at the time, everyone who read that books thought the S-II on Reach burned alive, and James was still MIA (And still is today).

Nowhere in Halo 2 do they say he is the last Spartan, or even last 'known' Spartan. However, in the CftU booklet, we are introduced to Cassandra..and recently Nylund has said that the other Spartans (8-9) were doing "something else" during Halo 2.

Look at this image. Count the figures. 10. Remember those levels cut out after the end of Halo 2 due to time constraints? You know, the ones when we get back to Earth? Now, keep in mind that Spartans in Mk VI armor are the only ones who can do drop into an atmosphere.

It never said that the Cryo Bay B was for Linda. I believe it was just there for show.

Interesting picture MLG....

Um, why would they didicate a whole room with a picture in the center, displaying a Spartan on the screen?

besides, Bungie JUST stated (in the podcas, i belive) that about 99% of the little eggs in Halo 1 were not accidental, they are there for purposes
