Subject: New sections to the ODST VISR Database! - COMM and INTEL

In the podcast they said that they could only talk about one of the sections of the ODST VISR Database, the map. This means that there must be more sections to it. Also, by looking at this picture you can see at the bottom it says "COMM", "MAP", and "INTEL". It also seems that LB and RB are used to switch between them.

What do you think these new sections "COMM", and "INTEL" could be? And what is the deal with the "Y" button symbol and "Rookie" written underneath it?

It's like if the Fanta girls and the the cast of Girls gone Wild participated in a remake of Labyrinth that takes place in a crackhouse version of Willy Wonka's Chocolate Factory where the sugar is cocaine, the candy is crystal meth, and the chocolate is LSD*takes a breath*and the goblin king became the gummy bear king.

y baton goes back to the rookie

Comm will be for just was it sounds like, communication, and intel will probably have info on your objectives and missions you have done

The VISR is accessed by the X Button, so I'd imagine that Y would exit it.

As for the other two options, they may contain information from past and future missions.

All roads lead to Sol.

Awesome, That map is very Marathon style.

I think that's just the Rookies insignia.

It says "< Back Button to close VISR Nav Database"

In that case, the Y button might centre the map over the Rookie's location.

Yeah thats what I was going to say, it just finds your Rookie's location on the map

So what about COMM and INTEL?

Communicating with other ODSTs?
Previous missions? (maybe a way to re-play the flashbacks)

I thought it was the actual VISR gameplay effect that was activated by the X button.

That menu appears to be the PDA you use by hitting the back button. I assume by hitting Y you would center the map back on yourself.

EDIT: of course, I HAD to be late and missed some above posts....>.<
