Ok, I'm sure this has already been said but...... there are two more figures in the Path of Doom Cam, looks to me like ODST figures.

Please stop crying. Who's fault is it that you waited up 12 hours for this?

Once we find out what it is (and the price), then start -blam!-ing. And I may join you then.

Another of those read lines reads:

"Maddie, where are you?"

or

"Where are you, Maddie?"


I can't get it stopped at the right moment again but its one of those two. Any characters with that name that anyone can think of?


played it frame by frame and got it. it says: 'MADDIE, WHERE ARE YOU'

Well, first off. $50 for a game isn't actually unreasonable for the amount of play time it sees. It is actually the cheapest form of electronic entertainment there is. If you figure the average amount of time people play a game, especially online? It comes out to cents, or fractions of cents per hour of entertainment. And two, nobody wasted your time. You chose to stay up like the rest of us, so you can buck up and realize the only person who wasted your time was yourself. You could have checked it later. So simmer down, or go cry somewhere where people will give you the pity you want.

paying any more money for a game is a waste,if i wanted an expansion id play w.o.w,Its their fault by providing a countdown timer.

Good catch! This would explain the new skull medals. The idea of them being in MP maps didn't sit right with me.

If you stop the video at the camera view of the street of the city there is a building to the left side that says "City of New MOMBASA"

but some of the achievments are linked with getting multiplayer medals and game modes on the mythic maps (which i assume you're talkin about).
but i really dont know.

  • 09.25.2008 7:41 AM PDT

I've been lurking for a couple days now and have all along thought it would be ODST related.

The teaser line on marketplace says "Prepare to drop."

Yeah, so I stayed up a few hours and I'm man enough to admit that I'm disappointed by the video. But the way I see it, you can either -blam!-, or move on. There are better things to do then vent on the internet. Get a cup of coffee and go read the paper or something. Better yet start getting those 12 hours of sleep back.

Ditto. Skulls live in campaign maps. I think people read too much into one of them being called "Assembly". It might refer to a human construction plant level in the expansion.

Maybe the one shown in the live action movies?

Hey, there's a thought - maybe this expansion culminates in the sequence of events shown in the live action movies, i.e . ODST drop troops getting the laser marker to tag the Chief as he's falling back to Earth at the start of Halo 3 so that Johnson can find him?

So this expansion would actually tell the sequence of events that happened on Earth between the destruction of New Mombasa and the return of the Chief.

Hmmm..... I've been thinking... what if it's similar to Call of Duty 4?? you know, how their MP maps strongly resemble, if not match sections of the campaign ones? Just a possible theory I'm throwing out there

Thats the one thing thats thrown me this whole time. The only thing I can think of is 6 new campaign missions, with 6 new MP maps modelled after them? Hence the skulls for each map, and a MP achievement for each map. Or maybe that's thinking too optimistic? =P
