This has already been mentioned in the ODST thread

Yeah ive just realised that, but meh whatever, some people might have missed it so this is for them.

There were more Spartans trained after the initial ones.

Just read on the Bungie forums.
1 Theory is that Sierra 259 stands for Spartan 2, number 059 (which would be Spartan Malcolm).
However that theory is contradicted by the trailer saying "This is Sierra 320. Prepped for combat insertion.".
So it would have to be the 2nd group of Spartan 2's.

Well then why is Master Chief's number Sierra 117?

Because hes spartan 117. Which is 3 digits.

And there isnt much to discuss about Reach. Only the teaser trailer which doesnt tell us much about the game. Except there are spartans, marines, war, and Reach.

Been on the drawing board for about a year and a half now.

i was thinkin that they should make a game of this

If anyone read the
Halo books, especially halo: ghosts of onyx.
I think that one is the one that has about 200 spartans, who are trained after JOhn and the other spartans.

SPOILER ALERT
those new trained spartans die though :( well most do...

Yes but they have code names based on their company and their number.

So Alpha company examples:
A58
A70
A178

Beta company examples:
B21
B92
B89

Gamma Company examples:
G41
G12
G62

The 2 might be second company.

Why do you still have that fall of reach CGI thing in your quote? You said several months ago that it was "dropped due to lack of interest"

Well, Why is this listed in "Halo ce General discussion?" Really THIS IS NOT HALO 3 GENERAL DISCUSSION!!!Caps

Same rules apply here for ODST and Reach games as did Halo 3. No more than two topics on the front page. This may ba a Halo CE forum but we can't ignore new games in the Halo universe. Just be reasionable people.

Will you stop doing that? All you're doing is making yourself looklike a troll.

Oh, I thought you were doing it to bump the thread. My bad.

And I fixed your typos again.....lol

cool!
but i thought it will be released the PC
*sad face*

Definitely not at the same time. If they do, it will be several years after the game's initial launch.

Who else wants Project Natal to be apart of this?

It would be awsome to order marines and see them respond porberly,instead of having to swap weaopons and seats and stuff until you get a guy with a rocket launcher iin the passenger seat of you hog.

that is dum. That would ruin gameplay.

How about being able to tell marines to retreat or attack?

No it wouldn't. Of course if you have a huge company of marines, then yes it would take all the fun out of it, but not when you're giving commands like "hold your fire" and "follow me". I think it would be better if commands were implemented much like those in Counter Strike Source while playing with AI on your team, especially in a setting like Halo 3:ODST.

Oh yes, I can see it now. Some whiny pre-pubescent 12 year old getting p***ed off becuase it wont register his voice commands.

I think it'd be better if they just stuck with no voice commands.

I think it be pretty cool to be able to point out targets to your marines, or make motions with your hand to tell them to like stop moving or go to a location.

Probably with that new 360 motion sensor thing shown on E3, that could probably be possible.
All though there basically making the motion sensor to go against the new PS3 Eyetoy and the Wii.

Maybe Halo: Reach is this new squad-based Halo game we've been hearing about.

Its an FPS though

So is Republic Commando.

it will come to pc when the next halo game is releashed

i r want it nao

and btw.... that will use another engine wont it?

I don't think so.
If Halo: ODST uses the same engine then Halo: Reach would probably too

Doubt it, knowing Microsoft, they would want Bungie to make a newer and better engine.

I think the success of Halo 3 proves that it does not need a awesome graphics engine to make people happy. They will update it and give it shiny new bells and whistles, but they're definatly not making a brand new engine for it. Even after 2 years, halo 3 is still the #1 must played multilayer game on the xbox 360.

Havok is just a physics engine. smart one.
