that is true when Kurt goes and gets his orders that he is training the S3's he states that he was under the impression that CPO Mendez was assigned that years ago. Ackersons tells Kurt that the S2 program was postponed indefinitely. so therefore as per the books no second class of S2's.

Ok there is only one person in the universe that could just say "Hey I'm gona join the Spartan-ii program today". Also his nickname is Lone Wolf. Yes, it can be only one man

J/K, I'm just going out on a limb that this is going to be a "new" spartan since we are having trouble getting correct numbers and ONI probably kept a spartan or two for their own use since they also do some super top secret recon and research. Ether way we don't know the name and designation of every spartan or even all of their ranks due to how ONI works (lies to cover every project the are involved with), also this Lieutenant might have been a lower rank before Reach. As for the reaction with the "EVA" guy could be anything. We are assuming that this cutscene is the first in the game. Heck we are assuming it is even part of the game (given the engine graphics and quality it is very likely it is in game).

I saw a thread on Bungie.net that reminded me about the Spartan Black comics coming out soon. Perhaps these ONI Spartans have something to do with Reach?

Not usually. When the original modeler is a member of the forums and the file is posted in his own thread, there's really no need to post a link in any other threads.
Not to mention the fact that you made identical posts in two separate threads. That kind of thing is typically frowned upon here.
Don't get me wrong, it's good that you're posting your find, but in the future, try to make sure it's not already up somewhere else on the forums.

I think its kind of cool that the Spartan with the sniper who was loading the ammo clip had a little bit of ghille suit added to his armor. There is a kind of mossy fabric on his backpack and around his neck. This IMO adds to making this game more human since it shows that they are humans and not just machines, which it can seem like they are at some times. The ghille suit is actually not a bad idea overall since they dont have any real cloaks that last a long time, and it seems like Reach is much more like Earth with large & open grassy fields. In this case you could/would want to use a ghille suit type of thing.

Here is another interesting tidbit to add to the debate exactly class or type of SPARTANs Noble Team is. ON The Official Bungie page for Reach, their section on the SPARTANS states:
http://www.bungie.net/projects/reach/article.aspx?ucc=intel&cid=24024
I bolded the interesting part. Now, if we are to understand that Noble Team are SPARTAN IIIs, per the correction to the press release my Microsoft PR back to IIIs, then we might be potentially looking at a different or earlier class of IIIs, because Kurt's IIIs would not have "decades" of experience, being sent into combat at the age of 12, even Tom and Lucy were only in their what, 20s?, by the time of HALO. And we know that the IIIs got augmentations to mature faster and have the bodies of 18 year old Olympic athletes at age 12, but even so, something about their appearance and demeanor in the trailer suggested to me that NOble Team was older, not just age accelerated kids, but actual older.
Of course the style of entry on Bungie's page does read almost as a sort of propaganda tool, so maybe it is just how ONI tells everyone they have decades of combat experience even though they are still kids.
/shurg. Just something else to throw on the debate. If nothing else, they said on BUngie.net that the first media embargo ends in January, so we should be learning more soon.

I just remembered this from the last weekly update:
"Q: Are those Spartan IIIs or Spartan IIs we see in the trailer?
A: See question #1 above… (but the answer is YES)."
From that and the MS press release I got the impression that maybe the Lt was the SPARTAN III and the others were IIs... not sure if that's correct though but it could explain the "literal decades of combat experience" :unsure

I haven't read the whole thread so maybe this has already been mentioned, but we've guessed that #6 has a beef with EVA skull-face. Now, suppose it's not an EVA, it looks a lot like the S-III helmet. Maybe skull-face "grew up" with the S-III helm and decided to keep it as a S-II.
Once again, if this has already been mentioned, sorry.

Interesting theory. Skully as a S-III would be interesting. I kind of hope he is one of those Hellspartans though hehe

That is a very interesting theory. Although the helmet definitely looks like the EVA, I'm not willing to just rule out SPI. With Bungie's very cryptic response as to who these Spartans are (see the post somewhere above), who knows what it could be.

Yeah the helmets are just similar enough to give that theory credibility. That would also help explain why he looks so b.a compared to other Spartans.(Another good explanation is that he is a Hellspartan, which would be cool but I doubt it)

I still think they are from a second class of spartan 2's. the spartan 3's were keep so secret that Halsey was lucky to find anything on them at all, there was a very limited number of people who even interacted with them and fewer who knew of them. It is very unlikely that they will be present in the new game. but it is too early to tell so we will have to wait to be sure
