In order to understand the plot behind the hole spartans you have to read the books. To understand the multiple spartans you have to at least read First Strike as it answers how they all survived. **Spoiler** Multiple Spartans will in fact probably fight side by side with you to defend mankind. First of all Three are with you in the end of First Strike. Second one Spartan was taken by Dr. Hasley(creator of Spartans) and this incident may come into play in Halo 2. **End Spoiler**
