Ok...I just finished reading the latest version of Electronic Gaming Mothly's magazine.....I don't buy these things, but this one had a huge pic of Master Chief on the front and it was a no brainer. EGM, just gave the storyline from the beginning and the last entry they have is where MC goes to Reach with a small group of the UNSC and find three other Spartans! Maybe this has already been listed, but I got slow internet at home, so I don't do the research. EGM says..."they meet up with with Will, Fred, and Linda (really...that's their names)"...that's a quote. Sounds freakin cool...maybe since they head to Reach, part of the game will be there, which I know has been on these forums so I'll stop there. Anyone else know about this?

maybe egm is only talking about the storyline before halo2 (first strike). AND MC finding other spartans is after halo, but before halo2. so maybe they just tried to make you catch up with the story, or maybe oxm and myself is wrong. dunno

Dont listen to OXM those bastards only gave Halo 2 a 9.7!

Ok but seriously, Bungie even said that they decided to have the books writen so that they could explain more about the story of Halo. I see no reason as to why other Spartans wont be in Halo 2, unless they die in the very first cinematic, but that would be -blam!-.

This what an OXM reader said in issue 35
Why did you give Halo 9.7? Why didn't it get 10?

and Ben said

I took off 0.3 because there's no flamethrower that turns into a nuclear bomb that can destroy whole planets.


P.s Tex2552, they haven't rated Halo 2 yet

the covies attacked reach, wipe the colony and MC was the last spartan. he was put in a cryo and then the pillar of autumn went to halo. all the other spartans are dead they got killed on reach.

No. Read the books. Other Spartans did survive. It's just that, at the time of the events in Halo, Master Cheif and the others on the Pillar thought the other Spartans were wiped out.

Actually, I never really understood that part because there was another Spartan on the Pillar of Autumn if my memory serves me correctly. I think it was Linda, but I'm not sure. All I remember is she was very badly injuried during the fall of Reach and placed in a cryotube on the PoA until they could get her to some proper medical attention. And, I think that cryotube was picked up by Master Chief at the beginning of First Strike and well before the few survivors of Halo make it to Reach to find the other Spartans. I might be wrong though. Oh well.

The reason they Halo2 a 9.7 is cause they're not stupid. If they give it a ten and sometime later they get a gaame better than Halo 2 (maybe Halo 3 lol) what are they going to rate it,A 10? then that would say it is just as good as H2. but they did make sure to give it the highest around which is good. So if they could rate it a 10 they would but that would'nt be logical.
