I was watching the gameplay trailerwhen I noticed that you could "pry open drop-pod"[1:29]. Is this included for a search in finding your squad or what is this all about? Weapons? Health pack? Anything that might be in a drop-pod that would help you through the campaign?

It's likely that this is one of the "beacons".

Or there could be a person in it.

That's what I was talking about. In search of your squad.

There is no greater catharsis than arguing on the Flood.

Right, it'd make the most sense.

Sounds like a bunch of Justin Bieber wannabes in here. I bet you all wear skinny jeans too.

It could be Dare, Buck, or Romeo (seeing as you haven't seen anyone of them in the first flashback.)
Or perhaps it was an empty pod stored with weapons?

I think thats part of a flashback mission.

Pause it at that exact moment. You'll see that its not night time but its like a bit cloudy?
I think at some point in a mission, you'll have to look for Dare. And then you find this Pod. You pry open the pod and...rescue Dare? Perhaps in Buck's Flashback mission?

Just a suggestion but I think we can pretty much confirm its not in the night time city.

No it's probably mickey, remember he crashed into you

"Apparently people don't like the truth, but I do like it; I like it because it upsets a lot of people. If you show them enough times that their arguments are bull-blam!-, then maybe just once, one of them will say, 'Oh! Wait a minute I was wrong.' I live for that happening. Rare, I assure you."-Lemmy of Motorhead

Yes, I'm the guy who had the Flood admit to being furries.

Hell, maybe there might be "secret" Drop Pods hidden as Terminals for ODST with extra ordinance and such. Remember the random dead ODSTs in Halo 2 on Delta Halo and Regret? Some were very well hidden, and this may be an updated version of that mixed with terminals.

Of course, the Superintendent is also Terminal based but we don't know if he has any secret ones for us.

Nothing is better than gaming through the day, into the night, then back into the day. It's like when you finally push that power button you feel like you've accomplished nothing, but at the same time, you can't stop smiling.

It's either a beacon or you will be able to find some of those around New Mombasa and collect ammo and weapons from them.

I'm still going by my "Flashback Mission" theory. The atmosphere around the player definitely isn't the night time hub. It probably plays into the story in some form. Best thing I can think off is saving Dare as Buck...but I don't know.

its probably a beacon for a flashback. the beacon on the compass shows it is 0.0m away so that should be it

Something like saving Cortana in Halo 3?

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


Posted by: Xx KNOX xX
and how!

In Halo: The Cole Protocol there are drop pods that contain weapons and equipment [The one directly referenced contains a Mongoose] But I am fairly certain this one contains either Dare or Buck which would trigger a flashback mission. Unless of course you find said pod during a flashback, then it could contain just about anyone other than The Rookie.

Could possibly be indoors? The floor tiles and background don't seem outdoor-sy IMO.

I like to see pwnge like a buttery spread and the enemy as a peace of bread. The the fewer the enemies, the more pwnge is lathered on.

I thought of starting a thread like this but decided to wait till I found one.

I had the same thought. Also, it could be getting lighter out. This would be an idea for the last mission where you find all the clues and meet up with what's left of your squad during the day. Who knows? :-/

I think you might find a person in there. :-/
