That would be Halo 1 "Truth and Reconciliation" and in Halo 2 the concept was sorta reused in "The Great Journey" I believe.

most of the people I hang out with have watched E3 and have a high IQ level...
I actually got this from Game Informer about 6 months ago.

Game Informer has been known to shmux their information up due to stupid misconceptions. Perfect example being them calling uniquely-suited marine pilots in Halo 3's cutscenes "Spartan 3s".

Anyway, it has never been revealed (and honestly, I'd like you to cite the info you say you got from GI that says so), what happened to the squad.

I think you're wrong. I'm pretty sure the Duch flashback didn't end with him dying, and you don't pick up his Laser. Romeo's flashback was cause by seeing a sniper rifle hanging on a lamp post. Plus, there is a voice of the CO saying "You out their Rookie?" I'm pretty sure at least some of them survive.

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.


^^What??? Mal? Jayne?

Shameless plug for my blog:

There is no greater catharsis than arguing on the Flood.

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

Bingo! Concept art is not the final product.

Why does Bungie put us through such avid anticipation?

I hope that we get to link up with our squad for one final push to retake the city...or a good part of it. As for "learn their fates", maybe we will find out where our buddies go. They don't HAVE to die. Don't be so pessimistic guys.

  • 06.06.2009 10:08 PM PDT

or, they're all held up by Dare in the ONI Alpha Site's underground quadrant.

/sarcasm.

we know they all die, why else would we have flashbacks to see how they met their demise?

Well bungie didn't say "die" the said "fates" so maybe the went somewhere, like crow's nest.

true, so who knows?

not sure where i heard it, but i remember the line: "re-unite with your squad to escape the city"

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

The squad's death would make for a very awkward game.

The game would be basically, at the start, you wake up after being unconscious and Bungie's like "All your friends were dead while you took a power nap! Now you get to see how they perished while you slept on your lazy a$$!"

It would be cold and harsh on Bungie's part.

Halo 3 Academy Staff
RvB Episode 100- Sarge destroying computer Vic says "Whoa dude that was my Heat Sink now how the f*** am I going to sink my heat"

PETA: People for the Eating of Tasty Animals

I thought everyone died when hearing about it at first
but if thats the case it sorta makes the game almost pointless if you dont meet them in the future (or at least a few of them) cause then you are just playing a scene where your teammate dies and you are no closer to reaching some objective (afaik) unless you are following your squads tracks to catch up with them what is the larger point of the flashbacks

i also am almost entirely sure Dare isnt dead she seemed too important that you wouldnt meet up with her later

I think that they all survive. They would not hire celeb actors as voice actors to be in it for less than 5 minutes. If they did die however I agree that Veronica aka DARE will be the only one alive and their flashbacks will be clues as to what it is that Veronicas plan was. It will lead up to you actually helping her carry out her plan.

U are the lowest kind of human scum and you desirve to be shot.

go kill yourself and do the world a faver

Say I start up a 4 player co-op campaign.

How would the squad all be dead if they are right there next to me at the start of the campaign?

Wouldn't players 2,3 and 4 be Romeo, Dutch and Buck? Or would there be 4 rookie's running around? Other randon ODSTs!? Doesn't make much sense to me.

The flashbacks are triggered by picking up one of your squadmates' guns. For example: You pick up Romeo's Sniper or Dutch's Splaser.


Not true. Romeo's Flashback has not been shown in any video, and no informaton has been released on how Romeo's Flashback is triggered. Also, Dutch's Flashback is triggered by a Detonator Handle, not his Laser.

They aren't next to you in Co-op. Everyone looks like the Rookie, not one of your squad mates.

In the trailer, there's a part where you're riding on a mongoose. I think the driver was Dutch. Can anyone comfirm this?

fyi you find a detonator even more reason that Dutch is still alive! and what kind of game is that playing as your squad and then realizing that they're all dead i mean what your going to buy the game when you know how it ends???

i'm guessing that you travel across mombassa until they contact you and you find the whole squad in some bad ass covenant base...
