Subject: Do you think The Rookie will die?

I was in 5th grade. I popped in the Halo CE disc into the massive, clunky first generation Microsoft Xbox, and wrapped my small hands around the controller that was almost too big for me. Little did I know what I was getting into.

10+ years later, I still look up to my childhood hero, Master Chief, while everyone talks about He Man and Spongebob haha

I think through some chain of events the rookie will end up floating through a torn up UNSC Cruiser in the middle of space with the Super Intendent with him... My prediction is that he will go into cryo sleep and the camera will go outside the ship to see the Rookies ship floating toward some mysterious blue planet with dramatic music in the background... But that might just be me.

That sounds like the ending of another game... but i cant remember. oh well.


i lol'd hard.

i think you will eventually meet the rest of the squad

why would bungie make these characters with interesting back stories and colorful names just to have them die in 6 hours?... and never meet them?

personally i see the superintendent as the eventual enemy, like glados or HAL

maybe the superintendent knows something, and dare attempts to stop it, she and the other odst's blows up oni building to "injure" the superintendent. the superintendent then wants you the rookie to help get his systems running again. dare finds that you are helping it and attempts to kill you, someone gets heroic and stops her, her trying to kill you angers the SI and it then activates security drones (343 guilty spark anyone?). then you must battle them through the city to the SI's core you then start a chain reaction which will cause the cities infrastructure to be destroyed. now you must race to the exit of the city before time runs out.
this race could be like the halo 2 e3 demo where your in a Gauss fighting shadows.

This would be an amazing game



I believe this a lot. I was thinking the same sort of thing might happen. Didn't they claim that the city is damage, if it is I bet the new AI is damaged as well and went rampit.

True...True

Memento mori.

I think Bungie knew their fans would say things like this about Dare, and that there's going to be something very unexpected such as a minor love interest between Buck and Dare, and that Dare is actually a good girl(contrary to popular belief). I think the final boss will be the SI.

  • 06.05.2009 9:09 PM PDT

I think the rookie will already be dead as we are playing through his story. While we play through as the rookie we collect data material from the other squad members, that is where we witness their story. I think our playthrough as the rookie will be someone else viewing his data. This character could be one of the missing SPARTANs that will be introduced, or a cameo from Master Chief, or it may be Dare and that is why there is no known data on her yet. We may finish the game off as her character to her death (if she does die) or she could be left a total mystery (thats doubtful though).

The story of the ODST's will probably be the "squad on a suicide mission" story. Cool.

It just wouldn't be as thrilling if everyone lived.

  • 06.05.2009 9:15 PM PDT

Were it so easy.

Lets just wait and see. I hope he lives! And all of the ODST's.

Just a curious question, but seriously do you think The Rookie will die?


He will...many, many times as people adjust to the fact that they are not a spartan.

However, as far as the plot of the game is concerned, such a thing is always a possiblity but because the main goal of the primary protagonist, in bungie games at least, is for you to project yoursefl onto him I doubt that they would kill the Rookie off because, in essense, they would be killing you off in the process, which many would not take too kindly to.

She can't betray them! She'll get booted!

To be completely frank, there is no reason presented or that I can see as existing that Dare is going to "betray" the ODSTs. Yes, she's an ONI spook; that's all but told to us in earnest (Ms. "Naval Intelligence" is as close as we've got). But everyone knows that the Covenant are on a warpath to murder all humans and that no deals can be cut; they want to kill everyone.


Unless, of course, it turns out that Dare has a temper and suffers from the inability to properly conduct logical assessments and create tactical feedback. Killing an ODST when humanity's population is actually at the low of under a billion -- the beastiary in the Halo 3 extras disk indicates 300 million, though I don't know when the beastiary is meant to have been recorded -- is not tactically wise. They literally need every soldier they can get.

The only person I can see Dare killing is Buck. Buck doesn't like taking orders from Dare, and clearly has a problem with the way ONI disregards the common good to do the greater good (which isn't always perceivably great). But the Rookie? He doesn't have a personality. He's the strong, silent type.

Also very true. Dare strikes me as the type of person who'd want to keep her EXPs in tact.

I just hope, for the ODST's sake, that Dare isn't being visited by aunt flo

Ehn, I tend to ramble. Elaborate, though, isn't it? Makes me sound as if I actually know things about the game.

To be honest, we don't know enough about the game to make any "yes" or "no" answers for these questions. I've seen two cinematics and gameplay up to the bridge-detonation mission. So whatever anyone says is purely speculation. Or in my case, speculation with a twinge of theory based on, of course, postulation.

Just a curious question, but seriously do you think The Rookie will die? My guess is when he goes to meet his squad to regroup (obviously at the end of the game) he gets sniped by Dare (she betrays them) and the other ODSTs go berserk and charge after Dare and she gets killed by Mickey.


what are you talking about? Dare doesn't snipe anyone, you haven't even played ODST yet.

i don't think so because i don't think bungie would kill off the main character in one game. who knows they might decide to make a whole new spin off of the rookie or something. we will just have to wait and see
hmmm, so you think they'll make a series of The Rookie? that would be interesting...


What would they call him in the next game? "The Sophomore"?
