So from the recent trailer at 0:39 there is a terminal the player accesses and when turned on it says at the top "Superintendent Online." To me it seems that you wont be having an AI from the beginning and must find this terminal to get help around the city. Oh and sorry if this has been posted, I thought I would share it.

Self-proclaimed genius.
Roam the streets with a sign, "will love for false hope."

I assume that whatever Dare was trying to accomplish failed so you're really just there to pick up the pieces. That shows that the Super must have been shut down when the ONI facility was destroyed.

That's just speculation.

I think I missed something but what was it that Dare was trying to accomplish?

That's what we don't know. That's what ODST will tell us.

I do not appreciate B.Net Group solicitation. If you ignore this and send me an invitation anyway, I will block communications with you.

That's not true. The Superintendent interacts with you immediately upon insertion through digital displays placed around New Mombasa. You interact with him directly via the terminals, however, which is what we see in the IGN demo from Staten, where SI gives us a map of New Mombasa.

Check out the group, Planet Reach and talk about Bungie's next game without the annoyance of the public forum. Oh and it's nice there too.

You thought you had lag, it took Jesus 3 days to re-spawn.

In the IGN interview, I'm pretty sure Joe Staten said that accessing those terminals would give you special information. The one he accessed gives you an overhead map in you VISR.
