Subject: The Squad Dies

Regret is the domain of those who have earned the right to look back on the past. All I have is shame.

Okay, I have ran into like 100 people who r talking about the rookie interacting in some way with his squad. Sorry to burst your bubbles, but the squad dies before you even start the game. As you are roaming throughout NM, you will find places where your squadmates died. You will then play a flashback revealing how you squadmate died. There is a different flashback for each squadmate. The flashbacks are triggered by picking up one of your squadmates' guns. For example: You pick up Romeo's Sniper or Dutch's Splaser. They all die during the daytime, and sense there is a clip in the trailer showing Dare in the night time, you will not play her flashback, as she survived.
Any questions?

Obviously. Why else would we play flashbacks to "learn their fates"?

Just to let you know, you pick up a detonator to start Dutch's Flashback, not his Laser

Either the squad has died or they already evacuated New Mombasa. Either way the Rookie probably won't be meeting up with any of his teammates during the game.

Can't let you say that, Star Fox.

- For one, Bungie said that the flashbacks would eventually catch up to the rookies time.

- For two, simplying finding Romeo's gun does not mean that he is dead. He coulda just dropped it during a retreat.

For three, the same add with Dare in the night also showed Mal and Jayne at night.

and you know they die how?

you have no proof until i see a direct link and or quote from bungie saying "your squad is dead"

fate does not always mean death

fate: A final result or consequence; an outcome.

so in the game you are trying to figure out the outcome of the battles that preceded your awakening, did your squad die, or did they live. this is the mystery.

Fate may refer to:

* Fatalism, a philosophical doctrine

Fate doesn't necessarily mean death, it's just like saying "fate brought us together".

You guys may be right, but I'm just posting what I've read. I'm not saying I'm right as they may have changed it sense then, as you guys are infering.

Ha! From Game Informer 6 months ago?

Dude, seriously, don't trust something that wasn't true because six months ago, the Mythic maps weren't even out, and all we had of ODST was the original trailer!

No proof = fail thread.

Sorry man, but there is literally no proof as to what you're saying, and it's more likely they don't die anyway, because everyone likes a happy ending.

And if I'm correct (And I am, seeing as I'm holding the magazine in my hands right now) They call it Halo 3: RECON, Making it all the more out-of-date.

Back on subject, if all your squad-mates die, then Bungie has completely failed at story plotting and have gone cliche...I was ok with the hero's in halo 3 dying, seeing as they were in two other games. But a whole ODST squad dying without any pre-story whatsoever is downright horrid.

Thank you sir, that was an epic rendition of this topic.

and how!

No.

We have no idea what happened to them, which means some of them could be alive, but it is more than likely that some of them have perished.

And no, ONE of the beacon's is your squadmate's weapon. That is Romeo's sniper rifle, with a terrible bend in the barrel. And even that doesn't mean Romeo is dead, it means that his weapon fell down and got a boo boo.

Stop acting like you know everything when you would know your "truth" is wrong if you watched ONE of the videos from E3. They show one of the beacon's as being a Satchel charge's remote detonator.

How do you guys know we find Romeo's sniper?

When they revealed the beacon flashback concept in an update Romeo's bent Sniper Rifle was an example they used.

Actually Thats not neccesarily true, Their "Fates" do not entail their deaths, only what happened to them, although its pretty obvious they do, maybe not all of them will, Dare was seen being used at night, but maybe Buck Survives too, you never know, we dont even know how long it is, they said after all the flashbacks theres some sort of big finale

Game Informer.

There are two things on this forum that piss me off;
Idiots and group invites.
What's even worse, is that I can never seem to get away from either of them ¬_¬
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"I would have been your daddy, but the dog beat me over the fence."

As well as all the other points people have made can I reind you see both Dare and one of the other guys (Sorry, can't remember who) standing in the bombed out streets and you here one of their lines.

Plus, why would Bungie kill 'em off at the start? Halo isn't some gruesome, depressing story where everybody dies at the end. Its supposed to be a classic tale of how one man, or if we include ODST, two men can make a massive difference.

Perhaps some of your team mates will be dead, but I know that some will survive, as well as Dare.

Oh and as for Romeo's sniper, I heard that you find it with a bent barrel. Doesn't mean he died, could have meant he got attacked in close combat by a brute and used the sniper to defend himself. Evidently, the brutes attack bent the barrel, but it doesn't mean Romeo died.

A33 WIL ALWAYS OWN HALO 3!!!!

bungie is still hiding BIG secrets from us and they could have lied about some stuff on E3 but i dont know i am just gonna wait impatiently haha and find out myself

  • 06.06.2009 9:16 PM PDT

-Life is suffering, now go and enjoy.

That's funny that you said they are all dead and that you know this as a FACT because i just listened to the podcast and they did not confirm the death of all your squad and said something like you'll try and find out what happened to you squad in order to meet up with them or whats left and escape the city (it was something like that). after seeing the flashback of the ONI base and then seeing it in ruins i wouldn't doubt they died but don't say it as a fact if they have not revealed it.
