Should we really consider Xbox.com's viral campaign of Halo Wars canon? The Spartan, for all we know, might be just a gameplay example and not a real character within the Halo Universe. Also, remember that Xbox.com's viral campaigns by Microsoft is known for its non-canon characters and events, just like [[Second Battle of New Mombasa]], so should we really consider this canon?-<b>[[User:Subtank|<font color="gold"><font color="#FF4F00">5</font>ub<font color="#FF4F00">7</font>ank</font>]]<sup>([[User talk:Subtank|<font color="#FF4F00">7alk</font>]])</sup></b> 17:53, 8 February 2009 (UTC) | Should we really consider Xbox.com's viral campaign of Halo Wars canon?

:This really isn't a viral campaign, it is more of a background site than anything, letting people know about the events surrounding ''Halo Wars''. As for this Spartan, why not!, he was highly noted and seen in one of the Covenant's entries, and falls within three characters stories within the game. Sure, these characters might not ever be mentioned within the game, though they are there...in the shadows of obviousness. I hold these entries on the ''Halo Wars'' site to be as much canon as the Equipment articles before ''Halo 3'' shipped, as well as ''I Love Bees''. | :This really isn't a viral campaign, it is more of a background site than anything, letting people know about the events surrounding ''Halo Wars''.

I consider such entries canon, even if they're from Ensemble. Here's my hopeful opinion, though. What if this "dead" Spartan is actually the Adam guy (a Spartan-ish name) who must be rescued during the campaign? If this Spartan ''is'' dead, though, even if the in-game Spartans live, there could be no more than 21 S-IIs planetside during the Battle of Reach. Opinions, anybody? --[[User talk:Braidenvl|"A government strong enough to give you everything you want...is strong enough to take everything you have." -Thomas Jefferson]] 23:47, 9 February 2009 (UTC) | I consider such entries canon, even if they're from Ensemble.

:Oh i'm sorry, I was under the impression that ''Halo Wars'' was real, and only the Covenant and their evil ways could be dishonored after death? Hmmm, I kinda see that in many piss poor nations today, soldiers and civilians being dragged through the streets, and worse. As for the roster...he might not be named, but due to the fact that he was mentioned by two characters in the story on there, it's pretty much set in stone now. In addition, they can't put anything up without the prior approval of Bungie and/or the Microsoft Halo Team...end of discussion. | :Oh i'm sorry, I was under the impression that ''Halo Wars'' was real, and only the Covenant and their evil ways could be dishonored after death?

Bungie had very little say in anything related to Halo Wars because of two things 1: they were busy working on Halo 3. 2: Bungie gave Ensemble creative freedom to do what they wanted, by the time the internal Microsoft Halo Team was establish, Ensemble already had the game together and not very much could be changed without further delaying the game. | Bungie had very little say in anything related to Halo Wars because of two things 1: they were busy working on Halo 3. 2: Bungie gave Ensemble creative freedom to do what they wanted, by the time the internal Microsoft Halo Team was establish, Ensemble already had the game together and not very much could be changed without further delaying the game. | ||

My point is that if the Spartans from Halo Wars were missing, and part of the canon, Halsey it would have pointed it out. just the same as Randall is pointed out to be the ''Only'' Spartan to be truly missing. If the three were considered part of the original canon then their disappearance would have been noted. Despite Jason Paces comments, and peoples ability to just go along with what the leader says, I have questions and even doubt the legitimacy of Halo Wars as a solid piece of canon. | My point is that if the Spartans from Halo Wars were missing, and part of the canon, Halsey it would have pointed it out. just the same as Randall is pointed out to be the ''Only'' Spartan to be truly missing.

I agree, this SPARTAN does not probably exist. It does say in the Red Team article "In 2531, Red Team was a three-person unit comprised of Douglas-042, Jerome-092 and Alice-130, and participated in the Battle of Arcadia." Sure, I may be wrong about this, as I don't have Halo Wars yet, but I still think he does not exist. It is either that, or the Red Team article is incorrect, and it is n00bs like CommanderTony who sit at their computer all day, checking this wiki for any errors to Halo cannon, to fix the problem. | I agree, this SPARTAN does not probably exist.

Oh, and "Mr. Showoff of an Administrator", They are not ''truly'' MIA, I have read that the Spirit of Fire and the Spartans on board escaped from the planet, but there is no FTL drive so they can not return home.

The ship and crew are missing, there is no known whereabouts as to where they went. And they have not contacted the UNSC in anyway, and possibly have no known way of contacting them, the same way Grey Team is missing. They haven't been heard from in over a year do they consider Grey Team KIA? No they are ''missing.''

It says that he was assigned to the Spirit of Fire at Harvest, but Halo Wars gameplay shows that the SPARTANS were not encountered by the Spirit of Fire until they reached Arcadia.

You have to understand there is a difference when someone is missing as in "I really don't know where he went" and watching a friend go missing in space, in a space suit, with one of the most titanic battle second only to the real Battle for Earth going on around him, and knowing that in 90 minutes he will die unless he is found. You cannot escape death in the cold vacuum of space. | You have to understand there is a difference when someone is missing as in "I really don't know where he went" and watching a friend go missing in space, in a space suit, with one of the most titanic battle second only to the real Battle for Earth going on around him, and knowing that in 90 minutes he will die unless he is found.

Due to the recent | Due to the recent leak of [[Homecoming]] online, I and many others have seen the film. There is strong evidence in the film to suggest that this "Unnamed Spartan" is indeed Daisy. First of all, most of the episode takes place during the Third Battle of Harvest and Daisy is killed by a Sangheili with a Needler, after killing several Grunts. I would think this is sufficient evidence to suggest a merge, but of course, people will disagree with me, probably people who haven't seen the short. The only flaw I see is that the Covenant refer to the Spartan's armor as green, while Daisy's is red. But, Halo Legends does take a lot of artistic liberties. - [[User:Halo-343|<span style="color: purple; font-family: Times New Roman; font-size: 128%;">'''Halo-343'''</span>]] [[User talk:Halo-343|<font color="red"><nowiki>(</nowiki>'''Talk'''<nowiki>)</nowiki></font>]] [[Special:Contributions/Halo-343|<font color="orange"><nowiki>(</nowiki>'''Contribs'''<nowiki>)</nowiki></font>]] [[Special:Editcount/Halo-343|<font color="green"><nowiki>(</nowiki>'''Edits'''<nowiki>)</nowiki></font>]] 17:03, February 3, 2010 (UTC) | ||
