In my mind, the Chief and Noble Six are equals, if not in experience then in ability, drive, and characterisation. They're both strong-silent types, both "hyperlethal", and both wearied by what they've seen. Being a SPARTAN-III can't be easy, even if they were reassigned before their whole company was slaughtered. Ultimately, though, comparing the two is pointless - it's not a simple matter of time or kill count, it's a matter of essence - if Bungie had decided the Chief did fight on Reach, they could have inserted him into the final game seamlessly without changing anything except the very end. Six ''is'' the Chief. I see it as a nice "what if" tale - what if the Chief really had fought on Reach? And this, I tell myself, is what it would have been like for him. Instead of taking the space station assignment, he went down to the surface on the Pelican. Instead of securing the MAC, he got on the Pelican. Instead of being the Lone Spartan as we've always seen him, he's part of a team that he sees fall around him. The whole thing is a metaphor for the Chief's emotional regard for Reach - he didn't undergo these precise events, but this is still the trauma he feels, the fall of Earth's greatest colony, the death of millions, and the destruction of humanity's last symbol of hope, the Spartans. | In my mind, the Chief and Noble Six are equals, if not in experience then in ability, drive, and characterisation.

:Ok in my opinion i think 312 doesn't even compare to 117, 117 has had a legendary life and possibly going to continue that life in the new series but 312 only had a training career and only the battle of reach behind his back but yet he might have more that we dont know of, but this is what f**ks me off about reach is that it went on for a month and they didnt even send in the spartan 2's... odd dont ya think? the only thing that backs up halo reach is the journal that you get with the limited addition halo reach, but here's something funny in the latest book glasslands it states that dr. halsey didn't know anything about the spartan 3's and the 5 she met in ghosts of onyx were the first she's ever met which totally contradicts everything that happened in reach and thats in the first few pages of glasslands but that's my honest opinion [[User talk:SPARTAN-225|SPARTAN-225]] | :Ok in my opinion i think 312 doesn't even compare to 117, 117 has had a legendary life and possibly going to continue that life in the new series but 312 only had a training career and only the battle of reach behind his back but yet he might have more that we dont know of, but this is what f**ks me off about reach is that it went on for a month and they didnt even send in the spartan 2's... odd dont ya think? the only thing that backs up halo reach is the journal that you get with the limited addition halo reach, but here's something funny in the latest book glasslands it states that dr. halsey didn't know anything about the spartan 3's and the 5 she met in ghosts of onyx were the first she's ever met which totally contradicts everything that happened in reach and thats in the first few pages of glasslands but that's my honest opinion [[User talk:SPARTAN-225|SPARTAN-225]] | ||
The [[Data Drop]]s explain that the S-IIs weren't sent in until the 30th because they were being kept in the dark. HIGHCOM wanted them to proceed onto [[Operation: RED FLAG]], and they wouldn't have been able to proceed to it if they knew about the Fall. Likewise, Halsey did know about Noble Team, but she didn't know they were Spartan-IIIs, just Spartans not made by her. ''Glasslands'' even mentions her meeting Noble Team.
