Halo 2 - Something Bungie's hiding

I can't promise you anything, but after reading the First Strike the halo novel that takes place after Halo I found a few very interesting things. Remember how Master Cheif was the last Spartan left, not quite.
Check out the E3 video and watch as the soldiers are suiting up.

Yes that is two Spartans on the same screen

Here's how thats possible- Reach was not completely destroyed- several Spartans were trapped inside the fallback position. At the end of the book only 4 Spartans are still alive- this could be evidence that 4 player co-op might be put into the game because there is Master Cheif of course. Linda the sniper. Will and Fred, two other guys.

I have read the book also, Bungie isnt hiding it they put it in the book for what I hope is :gasp: 4 Player Co-op. Ill have to look at the trailer again

TheRegurgitator · 2004-03-26, 07:54 PM

yeah its not really hidden its just that a lot of people haven't read the books

Dharkbayne · 2004-03-26, 07:55 PM

Maybe they made more?

Octavian · 2004-03-26, 08:02 PM

I doubt they could have trained that many so fast. Apparently it takes like 7-14 years to train each group.

Patty, can you please post a screenshot? Some people don't like downloading large files.

TheRegurgitator · 2004-03-26, 08:03 PM

trained who? the spartans were all taken and trained at about the same age
let me get a screenshot

Octavian · 2004-03-26, 08:04 PM

Trained the Spartans, and considering with the first group, a lot of them didn't survive.

TheRegurgitator · 2004-03-26, 08:07 PM

they found them on reach in the book and they only made one group

I need a host for my screenshot oh wait whats the name of that pic hosting place

Octavian · 2004-03-26, 08:08 PM

From what I've heard, they made a second group. Which was being trained while the MC was on Halo.

How do you know those are spartans, it's not like they HAVE to be spartans to wear the armor.
