[quote][b]Posted by:[/b] CaptnJosh [quote]Ok, didn't read the whole thread, but is that commander's name & number really Carter-259? Didn't the Spartans only go up to 150 max? As in, there were 150 possible candidates?[/quote] Yes your right there was 150 possible candidates in the [i]first[/i] class of spartan 2 [/quote] Reference please? The only thing that I can find says there were 75 candidates chosen out of the 150. Of those 75, 30 died and 12 were disabled by the augmentation process. Leaving 33 actives. Edit - By 'reference', I mean something official stating more than one group of Spartan-IIs. Not community speculation please. And yes, I'm semi-aware of the comments in Ghosts of Onyx, but that's not really a definitive "There actually was a fully matured second group". [Edited on 12.13.2009 5:57 PM PST]

Dang, Marty is already doing a good job on the music! He should give us a little bit just like he did for ODST. Keep it up Marty!
-
As long the tagline "Falls 2010" doesn't mean it arrives in FALL 2010! I know what developers are like...
-
This is awesome. The graphics are great and, of course, Marty is doing an excellent job on the soundtrack. Simply amazing work.
-
This is incredible. Many of the people on the Youtube comments though it was CG, which speaks volumes about how this game looks. I can already see myself, gun ready, wandering across the beautiful sunny vistas of Reach, and then a few levels later fighting across the scorched and ashen plains of what once was Reach.

Watched it at least 20 more times on my PC and 5 times on my Xbox and its really looking good. Maintain such good graphical detail in actual gameplay, Bungle. Please. :D
-
I hope reach you can tell regurlar marines or odst to follow you and to attack something n if not i hope u guys make a game like that

Spartan III's werent on reach when developed they were created on ONYX. They dont have shield slike spartan-IIs but they have a nice cloaking device and from what i read the newer ODSt armor is based on Spartan Design as well though they never showed the infrared(thermal) sensros they had in helmit. ^^

[quote][b]Posted by:[/b] ODST Shadow Their were at least three spartan types, spartain I which majority died from Augmentations, spartan 2 where i beleive nearly 50% survived the process or werent deformed. And alot of unamed SPartan 2 squads out their that you dont know about. Than finally their the more abundant Spartan III which i believe had no casaulties in the augmentation process though not a powerful as their spartan II counterparts. So exact number of spartan squads are unkown just like ODST squad but their should be a fair amount out their still. [/quote] While it COULD be a Spartan-I, since they went up to 300 total, they were deactivated in 2506, which is about 45 years before Halo: CE. Spartan-IIs went to 150 (according to the books iirc and the Halo Encyclopedia). The Spartan-III's were Top Top Secret and weren't known about by Halsey, so it's doubtful one would be on Reach in command of Spartan-IIs. [Edited on 12.13.2009 3:24 PM PST]

Perhaps he was a spartan that was assigned to do lone missions, who knows as i said their alot of spartans out their that we dont know about. Many may work in groupd but some might work individaully or something.
-
[quote] Edit: "I read your file lieutenant, even the parts ONI didn't want me to, I'm glad to have your skill set, and you can leave that lone wolves stuff behind" [/quote] Ok, went back to read the thread now. Am I alone in hoping that 'leave that lone wolves stuff behind' means buh-bye to Ranked FFA? Or at the very least no Ranked FFA achievements? ;)

I think these are all the spartans who became retarded after augmentation.
-
The new people are cool, but their armor honestly looks like its crap...

-
just watching the trailer and i love it. but the bungie symbol comes up at 7 secs ha
-
The only thing though i hope that REach is longer than 12 hours and enemies AI's more difficult and take me awhile to beat. First halo and took me awhile ot beast ince only played about 3-4 hours worth a day. The last three took me 2-3 days to beat. ^^ Hopefully takes me a week to week and half to beat at least.
-
Thanks Bungie, you are doing an amazing job, like always.
-
Looks beautiful. Can't wait.
-
So are any of the spartans from the book going to be mentioned? Or are they once again going to get the shaft? Way to drop the ball.
-
now that is my kind of stuff!!! Can't wait now!! Too bad I can't get the beta... don't have Xbox Live... *insert crying here* oh well It looks worth the wait.
-
I rather enjoyed the book but where my friends prefer Spartans i much prefer ODST Marines for some reason. Not sure why i like them better just do. ^^ Thats why i like ODST but i wished they put time and effort like they did Reach. Kind of shame they only had one year to make the game but they did alot in that one year.
-
Spartans? Holy crap, if you were one of the people like me who who gave the Halo novels a shot, you know from the start that Spartans are still alive on Reach but jesus h christ. This isn't just about the Chief one-mannin' it through an entire game, this is what Spartans were REALLY about, tactical and precise operations involving a small team that gave the biggest punch humanity had to offer. Everything looks sharper, the vehicles, the weapons, the technology, it all looks so much more detailed and complicated! And props to Marty and C. Paul, the soundtrack matched the tone of it all so well! Oh man.. In the words of Nathan Fillion (ODST's Buck), "This isn't you mother's Halo."
-
NOt every Spartan new each other if you have read the book, sorry to say their some spartan that not even master chief read. Also when reading the books yu realize humans a bit more advanced that you realize and have whole variety of technology much like the covenant. Though they didnt have shields and plamsa weapons they sure put up good fight on ground. ^^ Besides its their game they do with it however they like its same with bunch of games where they always try to improve their games. Red Faction, Far cry, and even call of duty not one is like another each one is unique than others.
-
That, was the coolest moment of my gaming life ever...
