Tidbits of information about the upcoming Halo character in Dead or Alive 4 have been leaking
slowly from Bungie. First it was the fact that there was a
female Spartan, then it was her name—Nicole—and now Bungie have revealed a whole back-story for the character, aka
Spartan-458.
A 6'8" Martian lady, she enjoys anime, competition shooting and pina coladas—scratch that last one, but she is a fan
of the halo-halo Filipino dessert, apparently, and one of her special moves is sticking the opponent with a plasma
grenade. However, it seems that no backstory can quite live up to the reality of DoA4—as Bungie put it,
"How does this explain why she's fighting a schoolgirl in a prehistoric oasis? Silence fool!"

I wanted to get this game anyway, and since I am a Halo junkie, having a Spartan in the game makes me want it even more. W00t!

If I were to get this game, 9 times out of 10, i would play as ryu or kasumi. same as all the other DoA games

I do wish she actually had female armor though. Screw the explanations!

Dude. She is 370 lbs, out of armor which even at 6'8" is still huge. Do martians have a denser build than us? How do they fit her in that thing otherwise?

I think I saw her on American Gladiator. Wasnt her name Sable or something?

Fascinating! Because, you know, all the other DOA characters have such deep and rich backstories too.
I hope DOA4's Story Mode is just as involving, emotional and rewarding journey as all the DOA games. They should made a movie! Oh wait... =/

There were a bunch of female spartans. Read the books.
I don't remember Nicole, though...

She isn't a Martian, they are still humans. Maybe its a colony on Mars, but its not like shes not a human.

Bleh...they should have just kept this a secret and let the gamer discover it for themselves. Imagine had DoA been a launch title and you're playing through and finally unlock the Spartan...hohhooohohohoho....that would have been a definite gaming moment there.

The idea's to create a brand new character. I'd have liked to see Kelly, but why not create a Nicole instead?
