Halo: Reach

[=sw=warlord]

Jcap your forgetting one major thing.
The master chief was not on reach he went to a orbital station with 3 others and sent the rest of the spartans to reach.
I personaly think we will assume the role of another spartan this "spartan 259" in the fight on reach.
This would be the only game where i would be happy to see the good guys loose because we all know reach got glassed par a small patch imagine seeing from the ground as a spartan as covenant ships decend through the clouds and start burning the mountains arround you.
What a way to end a series of halo games...

uhh

first of all, not all the spartans on reach die. second of all, whats this about a spartan 259? i havent been keeping up with this so if theyve shown something like that, whatever, but it makes no sense considering there were never that many.

Spartan 259 was mentioned in the trailer I think.

i realise not all spartans die i was reading first strike earlier actualy but many do indeed die and i personaly think watching reach get glassed from the ground level in the eyes on those who died would be an interesting end.
also spartan 259 was mentioned in the teaser.

Wait, weren't there only 150 candidates for the Spartan-II program? That would mean that Sierra-259 and Sierre-320 (heard talking at 0:36) don't follow canon, right? Or am I just crazy?

There were only 75 originaly but in first strike there was mention of the spartan 3's and although ghosts of onyx showed the development of one team it has not been stated how long the spartan 3 program had been running.
Also dont forget john is spartan 117 so yeah.
I personaly would like to think it is more to do with which place in order of candidates viewed is what their serial number is refferencing because if it started with only 75 children indoctrinated then surely the serials after 075 came from somewhere else.

There were about 300 children tested to be in the Spartan II program but they did not have the resources to "recruit" them all so only about 75 were taken, John was taken because he was lucky.

Yes, but there were over 75 candidates for the Spartan-II program, so the children were numbered before they were enlisted into the program, when they were still candidates. Also, according to The Fall Of Reach, there were only 150 candidates for the program, but only 75 made it in. So, it still stands that Spartans 259 and 320 don't fit into the publicly known lore.

There were 150 candidates you scrubs, half got screened out by the inspections, leaving 75 actual subjects. Half of those were fucked over by the augmentations, leaving you with 32, I believe. 30 died by the augmentation, and 13 were injured beyond normal service.

There should be no number above 150, but Bungie keeps breaking their own canon, unless there's another list not mentioned that was narrowed down to the 150 we know of.
