WARNING this is a huge SPOILER for anyone who is not aquanited with Halo. Do not read if u hate spoils.

1. there are many. so far we know of four. (delta halo is 4 in the greek alphabet so its an assumption)

2 Yes the list is John, Fred, Will, Aton, Linda, Li, Grace. They r the ones who left reach.

3 Linda got injured in the end of Fall of Reach. When attempting with John to take compromising Nav data on the Circumference, an ONI prowler. she was too injured, clinically dead, to fight but waas recovered in space after CE and brought to Halsey who saved her.

4. The Ghost of Onyx does both it gives a perspective of the war through the Saprtan III but also an after and during of H2. Dont want to ruin it for ya though.

 5. There is no speculation on how Johnson got off it is clearly known. He survived the flood attack b/c he had Borens Syndrome which he got from extensive use with plasma grenades in The Siege of Paris IV. This messed his nervous system up so bad that the flood could not assimulate him.

6. Awnsered above

7. The ARK is something im not sure about need to read somemore but im sure Rotaretilbo can awnser that for you so wait for his reply.

8. This is the ILOVEBEES site http://www.ilovebees.com/     This is the synopsis http://halo.wikia.com/wiki/I_Love_Bees

9.  Spartan I and III are different from the Spartan II b/c the spartan I were the prototypes. these were ordinary soldiers that were chosen to recieve minor augmentations. U may hear spartan 1.1 and 1.2 these are the children and grandchildren of the spartan I they recieved minor augmentations by their parents not by ONI or the UNSC. Johnson is rumored to be a Spartan I

Spartan II are the children conscripted by the UNSC secretly replaced by flash clones on their homeworld. They recieved intensive training and augmentations. and the MOJOLNIR armor

Spartan III are children that chose to be in the program. these children had lost their parents in the Covie war and wanted revenge. As far as i know there were three programs of these spartans. they recieved intensive training and augmentation but not as much as the spartan II. They also were given a special animal hormone that made them more aggressive and such in the heat of battle. They were the SPI suit. an infiltration suit that its no where near as powerful as the MOJLNIR  and has no shield but is equipped with invisibility.

10. The spartan I are retired. The spartan III are dead if they were in the 1st and 2nd program but the 3rd program has some loses but are scattered on missions some are on Onyx.

11. Yes the Fall of Reach is Canon. Also The Flood, First Strike, The Ghosts of Onyx, ILOVEBEES, Some of the Graphic Novel, The Games, 

The game manuals cannot be taken as canon there are errors.

12. No canon does not mean they are not excepted in fact it means embraced as Law.

I hope this helps anymore questions ill gladly awnser. 

Fevnalny:

Any clue as to how many Halo rings there are?

Seven. I believe this is stated in Halo 2, probably in Halo CE, and the Flood. However, I am too lazy to cross reference.

Fevnalny:

Did any of the Spartans on Reach survive?

Read First Strike to find out

Fevnalny:

Shouldnt Linda have been in Halo CE?

technically, she is dead at this point, but they put her in a cryo tube so that she could get revived by surgeons later. Read First Striketo learn her fate

Fevnalny:

When does Ghosts of Onyx take place before during or after Halo/Halo 2?

Ghosts of Onyx takes place during Halo 2, however, Halo 2 is not mentioned in the book, which was a slight dissapointment for me.

Fevnalny:

Any speculation on how Johnson got off Halo?

Read First Strike for his story, also read (or rather see) "Breaking Quarantine" of the Halo Graphic Novel for more precise detail

Fevnalny:

What is this thing about Johnson's immunity to the flood?

Read First Strike for the info on Boren's Syndrome

Fevnalny:

Whats the Ark?

At the end of Halo 2, Miranda Keyes pulls the index from the core which sets the Halos in standby mode. Guilty Spark then tells them the Halos can only be fired a place called the Ark, which is post probably the structure in the Halo 3 trailer.

Fevnalny:

What is the ilovebees thing and could I get a link?

http://www.ilovebees.com/humptydumpty.html ilovebees is aa story that takes place on Earth just prior to Halo 2 and explains in depth the Spartan-Is

Fevnalny:

How are the Spartan I's and III's different from the II's?

The Spartan-Is were highly skilled soldiers who were transfered to a new division. There, they received special training and basic augmentation. The Spartan-Is were disbanned just prior to the Covenant war, and never wore armor.
The Spartan-IIIs, read Ghosts of Onyx to find out.

Fevnalny:

When were Spartan I's and III's used?

Spartan-Is date back to...2490's and up until 2510's
As for the Spartan-IIIs, the project began around 2531

Fevnalny:

Where are the Spartan I' and III's now?

It is actually speculated Johnson might be a Spartan-I, but as for the others, most had mental issues (they went partially insane and thought of nothing but how to kill people) as a side affect of the augmentation. They mainly live on Earth.
As for the Spartan-IIIs, read Ghosts of Onyx to find out.

Fevnalny:

Is the book Fall of Reach Cannon?

Yes, Fall of Reach is indeed canon.

Fevnalny:

Cannon means they arent going to use right?

Canon refers to something being concrete fact in a fictional universe (like Halo). For example, Halo CE is canon, so are all four of the novels. The Halo Graphic Novel is said to be mostly canon, and I don't quite know how to interpret that statement. However, since the Halo Graphic Novel contains five stories, my guess is that one is not canon and the others are.

Dmand:

to add to rotaretilbos account on the elite human alliance the "civil war" began when the MC killed the <profet of Regret> sry i know i should know but it may be another one. anyways the profets did not feel like the elites were going to protect them well enough so replaced all of their top guards with the brutes. this infuriated the brutes into fight ing the brutes and rejecting the profets. the grunts, jackals, and hunters will follow either side it is really between the elites brutes and profets. hopefully i am right.

As for this, you are partially correct. However, when the Prophets removed the Elites from the position of Honor Guard, there was talk about resigning from the Covenant but no action. The Prophets actually gave the order to exterminate the Elites as far as I can recall.

ur prob right. i need to play through it one more time

some people need to read the Books

bringing this back

a "hay low" is something you find after digging through a haystack, remember you have to go realllly low
