This seems like alot believe this is going to happen, and would be pretty awesome. Bucky and Romeo (now Spartan IVs) were assigned to another team. Mercer thought that she could be good enough to be a Spartan, and is the only other survivor of the events of Nightfall. I think it seems that this is where it’s pointing, to Bucky, Romeo, and Mercer being the other members in Locke’s team as he hunts Chief. Do you think so?
This is currently my belief as well; it’s way to conspicuous to have Buck request to be assigned to a team he’s not leading.

And to release New Blood at all and add ODST to MCC? Too much coincidence.
The fourth Spartan could be Macer or this new chick from the next two issues of Escalation, Spartan Tanaka.
I’m more excited about Blue Team though. Fred, Kelly, and Linda are all great characters in the EU who have actual relationships and history with John. I think it’ll be really interesting to explore and develop these characters together in the game.

That’s what I’ve been thinking. Just seems to align to perfectly.
*Macer
On topic, I really don’t think Romeo will be part of Locke’s squad, considering that Buck and Romeo would make two Alpha-Nine people in one new squad. Either 343 will introduce a new character, or use one of the ones they set up in Escalation or something other, IMO.
