Subject: Flashback Order?

"YOUR DESTRUCTION IS THE WILL OF THE GODS, AND WE ARE THEIR INSTRUMENT."

A question about the sequence of Flashbacks. Do we have to do them in a certain order or do we choose? I understand if noone knows yet. I was told by a lot of people since it was free world you could go to anyone you wished to. Whatevs. It's probably gonna be ordered in my opinion. Anyone have a confirmed post or some such? Do you think there will be an order?

They didn't tell us what it was it could have been anything. Frankie gets scared easy incase you didn't know.

Been here 6 years, been blacklisted 6 times, that's why I'm not Mythic.

It's a free-roam world, therefore it's in any order.

I agree.

Once you've done them all you'll probably trigger a final mission.

This is one of the big pluses in my book: the fact that the city is sand-box style, and we can do what we want in the order we want.

Once you find the first one, you can find the rest in any order at all

Thank you. I still wish i could get some official proof, or your sources. It's probably like what Tucker said though.

Four shots, four kills, reload, repeat. This is the work of a sniper.

Any order, although it may be that you are forced to do the same first mission, and then do the others in any order.

after seeing the big map that the SI gives out, its a free open world so yeah you can go in any other you want.

any order you want, but maybe an achievement for a specific order?

The open-world element in Halo 3: ODST is an interesting addition. Will players be able to choose which of the four beacons they explore first? Can you explore them in any order you like?


Again, I don't want to ruin any surprises, but I can clarify a misstatement in [a recent Game Informer] article. There are actually more than four beacons, and once you find the first one you're pretty much free to roam the dark, Covenant-patrolled streets of New Mombasa however you like - free to find the remaining clue beacons in any order you choose.

How to spell "space"?

S-P-ACE! SPACE!

No order, just do as you please.
Grab skulls first, or find terminals. I don't know what to do. I'm the kind that does stuff.

I don't want to join your group LEAVE ME ALONE D:!

It would be cool if we could repeat the missions, because then they could have some sort of "Pi" Achievement, of doing the missions in order of 3.141. (That would be cool..)

i am assuming there are more than one flashback per person

cause the dutch part we have seen is 2 hours after the drop (so what happened in those two hours?)

i am guessing there will be a set of flashbacks to do, and when that's done a new set will start

cause if this did not happen you would find out the end story from just one flashback

so i believe there will be a some sets (probably 2, maybe a third which links the flashbacks) but in each set you get to chose which flashback to go to.

i may be wrong but this seems the most logical to me.
