Could we be fighting alongside other spartans in Halo 2?

[Anthony4sho]

Think about it. In the book Halo: FS, their are 4 other spartans who survived Reach and go with the MC. Linda, Kelly(who gets kidnapped by the doc), Fred, and will. Now I do not kno if this is true, but don't all the books have to be verified by Microsoft and Bungie so the books can fall in with the games? On top of that, in the FoR, they mention that 3 other spartans cannot be recalled to reach for the bigt mission because they were to far out of system.

I would like to see Bungie put this in Halo 2 as well as explain what happened to the other spartans.

i doubt it bc i beleive Master Cheif was the only spartan they had left.

[Ethereal S. D.]

True, but maybe it could be made into a surprise apperance at the end of Halo 2 when Master Cheif is down on his luck or something.

Actually I think it's very likely that we will be fighting with other Spartans. There was an interview with Eric Nylund, the writer of the first and third books, a few months ago on Xbox.com in which he said that Bungie gives him the main story line in the books and he elaborates and fills the gaps.

Female main characters are just wrong, if Halo suddenly gets a female spartan as the main character I will lose faith.

More than one Spartan alive? Confirmed.
More than one Spartan in Halo 2? Not confirmed.

Madhattr, just shut up. Please.

well in the book fall of reach i dont remember them saying there was a specific number of spartans that couldent be takin out of duty but if they make the difficulty harder(which it will be because better ai=smarter and better enimies) they should make the co-op capasity more.

Female main characters make for ****ty games, it's a fact. Same with movies, if I see some 115lb girl beating up huge bodyguards like nothing I get up and throw my TV out the window.
They had better not involve some sissified Master "Chiefette" in any Halo game.
What kind of retard would even make a female spartan? Probably some futuristic Womans right movement politically correct bull****.

While I agree that unrealistic depictions of women are stupid and silly, I think you're being silly. First of all, a femal spartan would still be extremely strong. I agree, including female spartans in the over all story seems more like a move aimed at PC-ness, but who cares? It's also a story about aliens, AIs, faster-than-light-travel, and plasma weapons. All of these things are concepts that are pretty much fantasy to us. The most plausible is plasma weapons, but we are far from making such weaponry.

ever heard of a little game i like to call "metroid prime." Solid tens from EGM.

Read Halo: The Fall of Reach. Kelly is the fastest Spartan, and Linda is the best sniper (she doesn't even need a spotter!).

Besides, Cortana is a main character in Halo and she is a female. She didn't do a bad job now did she? I believe your argument has just lost all credibility hattr.

No Cortana is just a computer program, Master Chief has to carry her ass around and kill things. She might be a main character but she is no hero on the lines of Master Chief
Personally I don't like Metroid, and everyone knows that if the main character in that was a guy he would have defeated the bugs twice as fast and with much better catch phrases.
This goes for movies as well.

...anyways, no one even knows if they will be in the game, much less if they will be "main" characters. You will probably just fight alongside them.

i think it would be interesting to have another spartan(a female spartan).
and if your talking about good female caracters dont forget to mention lt mckay from HALO:the flood
