"When I called in for reinforcements, I didn't think they'd send a Spartan!"

Remember those words? Notice how the soldier said "a Spartan", could this mean that the 3 other surviving Spartans and maybe some new ones will make an appearance in Halo 2?
Besides, why would the Earth military spend a -blam!-load of $$$ making the new Mark VI armour for only 1 Spartan?

P.S.-I'm sure that exact paragraph you just read has been typed somewhere before, but I'm not going to look through 500+ pages of forum to find it. Blow me.

I'm sure that there will be other spartans in the game but that line could be explained a different way. Only top military leaders, dr. halsey and the spartans know of spartan loses, that marine could simply think that there are still alot of surviving spartans.

In the books, it says that all spartans are either reported as MIA or WIA, never KIA.

I am pretty sure there are other Spartans. This is not from any spoiler info, I am just assuming that others were able to escape Reach.

That is an interesting line if you look into it deeply enough. Instead
of rejoicing at the sight of the M.C., the soldier just remarks that
he didn't think they would send a Spartan, as if it wouldn't make
a difference. I guess if an entire Alien Armada was hovering
above your planet and has been kicking your ass around the
galaxy for as long as you can remember, your attitude wouldn't
be so hot either.

As far as other Spartans go, the line could be indicative of that,
but you don't really know how much the soldiers know about
the Spartan program and it's successes and/or failures, so
for all he knows the Spartans are undefeated, or completely
wiped out, save the Chief.

If you read the books you find out what happened to the other spartans, I won't spoil it for you...

The best thing you could do is at least read First Strike.

If you don't feel like reading it, I'm about to SPOIL it for you:

The books ends with Dr. Halsey basically kidnapping Kelly and jumping to an unkown location in space. The only Spartans that are headed to Earth are John(MC), Linda, Fred, and Will. These are all the only Spartans who are alive.

Had you read the books you would know that anyway. It's been publicly accessable info for months now.

Yeah ok I have read the books. Which is why I said "other 3 Spartans" not the original 120ish. I'm just wondering because the Marine says it kind of casually as if he knew the Spartans where busy fighting elsewhere, like New York City or Tokyo.

What the hell is XBN, and how do you know they are telling the truth?
Did you mean to say OXM?

tex - I was refering to the post above mine where the guy complained about spoilers :)

Still, it is an interesting line - it can be taken many ways.

There might be alot more Spartans then we know of, we were theorizing this months back after First Strike was released. Certain wording brought up new possibilities of a different program.

**CAUTION: To all those that haven't read First Strike, do NOT read this, SPOILER**

according to First Strike, the MC, and 3 other Spartans head for Earth to stop the Covenant. unless the 3 (Linda, Fred and Will) all died on the way there, there should be at least those 3 and Kelly which is lost in space with Dr.Halsey

There are also three other Spartans (names not given) who were out on other missions while the Covenant attacked Reach. So that brings the grand total up to 7, assuming that you find Kelly. Also, CPO Mendez left to go train ANOTHER wave of Spartans (that's in Fall of Reach), so who knows where that goes...

WOW!!! Right now I'm really surprised that there is no flaming going on. I'm actually kind of proud of you guys for not doing so. But, anyways, the other spartan thing has been well known and speculated information for months now, and one more thing... people, don't take every word so literal in here. It's not that big of a deal if someone makes a mistake.
