Subject: Free Roam - Will you make use of it?

7 lines isn't long enough for a signiture! =P

Okay, now that it has been confirmed that ODST is non-linear, will you be eager to go straight to the next missions or will you explore the ruins of Mombassa?

Personally i will get the first flashback out of the way, and then explore the city. =)

Really there is very little that we know of in the city. Try asking this at a different time.

AKA: "TSB Lurch"

I have always prefered non linear - and can remember spending hours trying to go outside the box in HaloCE and Halo2

Dog carcass in alley this morning, tire tread on burst stomach. This city is afraid of me. I have seen it's true face. The streets are extended gutters and the gutters are full of blood and when the drains finally scab over, all the vermin will drown. The accumulated filth of all their sex and murder will foam up about their waists and all the whores and politicians will look up and shout "Save us!"...

...and I'll look down, and whisper "no."

I will definately be exploring. I'm interested in how Bungie is going to pull off free roam in a Halo game.

I also maintain that Chrome is weaksauce, and IE9 is fast and works very well

After finishing the game once or twice, I will go exploring for sure. I loved exploring New Mombassa in Halo 2, jumping around the rooftops and seeing how high you can climb the buildings.

I will complete the game and then after if I hear something that is hidden or an easter egg I will go exploring in the city.

Hello! I'm Bunie.net's resident medical student (hell i'm sure there are more but I'm the only one who openly declares it!) I love my emblem, and I am periodically active.

Completing game then explore?!?!?! WTF!!!11!!1!!1!11!

Non-Playable Charater

Hopefully there will be some hidden places where one can trickjump him/herself up. And find some hidden stuff.

Maybe they will add a Scarab Gun. That would be awesome.

I am fully expecting the Scarab Gun in the game. I will be sorely disappointed if its not in there.

It made the Earth parts of Halo 2 fun.

Also, The first time through the game, I will probably not -blam!- around the Open Level too much cause I want to see the story first. However, after that, I'll probably just keep replaying the Open level (its called "Mombasa Nights" I believe.) just to experience the open world nature of the game.

When Joe shows off the map, there are these red barriers along the outsides, but a faint map is still visible outside of the lit up map...I wonder if that's something we'll unlock, or if it's the real edge of the map.

It's an E3 Demo they had to have limits because people were playing and other parts of the city needed to be blocked off they were only letting them play up to the Dutch Level and it has been confirmed as free roaming Staten said it in multiple video interviews with people playing and watching
