everyone is dropping as an ODST, not necessary the Rookie or any of the other main characters, but as just a regular good-ol' ODST.
Good thinking. A better situation altogether. If playing through the campaign via co-op, the party leader will drop as 'The Rookie' while the other three members of his co-op party will drop as randoms... Which is, in fact, how Halo 3 handles co-op play.
On a separate but related subject...
During this time in the Halo story, the Profits are in need of a 'key' from which to engage the new Halo ring. The key is found by Johnson and Miranda and then liberated from them by the Arbiter who, in turn, loses it to the Brutes.
I believe there is a point, during one of the cut scenes, where Truth makes mention of multiple and separate efforts to locate the key. Perhaps this is the artifact the Brutes are looking for on NM? Which they believe is hidden in the ONI Alpha building? Whereas, in truth, the key is not what ONI is hiding and instead of allowing the Brutes to uncover their secrets they scuttle the building...
