[quote][b]Posted by:[/b] Woody 543 [quote][b]Posted by:[/b] Urmomidopulus I think I've actually figured out how one of them has the service tag "256"; There were 300 total spartan candidates, out of those 300, 150 were chosen. So, if he was candidate 256, he would then be Spartan 256? That's what I'm making of it anyway... And I understand the need to expand and be free with the game, but fighting alongside Kelly, Fred, and Linda would have been awesome! But Im glad that idea of the 300 candidates popped into my mind, now i can rest easy and wait for the game! ha[/quote] There were 150 candidates 75 were chosen[/quote] hmm... this is a mystery... I say we post this in the forums for further discussion and insight from other ppl!!!
