If you view the Gameplay Trailer, you can see at about 1:27 in the video, that the screen reads "hold b to pry open drop pod". Clearly that shows that an ODST died from the impact, and we know that Dutch, Micky, And you as The Rookie have survived. That leaves Buck, Dare and Romeo.

It's likely that Dare has not died because we do not know much about her, and for her entire story and objective to be removed would be entirely unlikely. In a GameInformer article, it is stated that you find Romeo's sniper rifle hanging from a telephone wire, indicating he likely survived the drop. That leaves buck. If you watch the opening cinematic, Buck is clearly a stern leader, and scolds the ODSTs. Most people(or at least myself) would become slightly unattached to Buck, making it easy for the player to accept his death. Bungie has always put the reality of death in their games.This would also likely put Dare in command, further developing her objective.

Any comments, questions or threats?

Maybe they're not dead, but stuck inside it?

I don't know, that would be kind of retarded, even though it's possible.

Thats possible, but it's been 6 hours since the drop, and im pretty sure he would have run out of oxygen.

I don't think so, I'm pretty sure ODSTs suits come equip with Oxygen.

i woke a bit ago and my son was playing halo 3 he was on forge i saw at the bottom of the screen was a charge for 35 dollars is that real or not did he charge 35 bucks or is that justfor the in game

-NO RECUITMENT MESSAGES PLEASE

If you can pry open the drop pod by hand then obviously the outer hull integrity has been breached, so oxygen wouldn't be a problem. I'm willing to bet they are just trapped inside, not dead.

In all fairness, if they were dead, why would you be prying it open?

That'd suck to be trapped inside a pod for 6 hours. When somebody designed those things they should have made 2 doors so if the stupid pod tips over the wrong way then you aren't trapped.

Well, I remember definitely hearing in one of the interviews that you play as each squad member at least ONCE. So I doubt Buck died, unless you played as Buck BEFORE they drop.

Do the pods not have a failsafe for that sort of thing?

...or, like....AirCon?

good point, but im sure any marine would at least attempt to retrieve a fallen comrades body, to take their tags and maybe even bury them.

i heard that too. but i just find it unlikely that he is alive unless the hull was breached.

Yeah, maybe there already is a hole for air in it for emergency reasons, because it's made for hot-drops, and only ODST's and sometimes spartans use it, so you wouldn't need to breath in space when you have the helmets on, and your suits air wouldn't run out that quick. ALSO, The pod might be another ODSTs. They weren't the only ODSTs to drop.

The other ODSTs landed in a different section of the city, and you as the rookie have a fairly small section to work with.

they must have something that opens a vent for air, they could get oxygen from breathing the air from outside.

I bet they just went off course and landed somewhere completely different and have their own story. When talking for Game Informer, they said that ODST is very long- if 3 squad members are dead, thats killing a chunk of the story, I bet they are alive in some way.
