ok i know he's not but i didn't know a better title for the thread but yeah, so if you read the halo novels you know John is NOT the last spartan 2 alive. there's kelly, linda, will, fred(?), and there was kurt but you know. . . so my question is this: why when halo 3 and bascially ALL the halo games keep saying that John 117 is the last of his kind/ last remaining spartan? bungie has stated that the novels are canon so what's the deal? this is driving me nuts!
