I can't believe no one pointed this out from Game Informer.

The mission Game Informer played last year was Romeo's, by finding Romeo's Sniper Rifle. In the flashback, Romeo is with Buck, looking for the Rookie.



It mentions it as Squad Commander who we now know is Buck.

3% Of my kills are from the PhatWanker ;)

I don't think so, because in the Trailer wasn't Buck the one that said.
"Hey Rook? You out there? Respond, thats an order!"
So, he either survived, and was walking aorund, Or he is trapped commanding him to release him from this "Prison Pod"

Yup. That line is also from the Romeo Flashback I detailed above.

-NO RECUITMENT MESSAGES PLEASE

Nobody scanned this in from Game Informer because linking to scanned magazines is not only against Forum rules, it infringes copyright and is against the law too.

So sure, make reference to it, but I would remove the scan damn quick.

I'm with you on that one. Case closed.

Well judging from what was shown at E3 it could probably be another random drop pod that did not involve the main charecter ODSTs, because there were other pods in the launch in the beggining. Plus if Buck was going to die at the very beggining, there'd be no point in giving him a profile or a charecter.

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.


Lol i thought about that. That would be hilarious and I bet it probably happened 1000 times b4 they got it to land straight

If he is dead, and the thing about Dare betraying the squad is true (after all in the trailer you can hear her say "Orders are orders,") than maybe she messed with the pod. So when he went down, the pod's safety systems failed. When he hit ground, the impact killed him.

(Sorry, cool-guy-only link.)

There was like a hundred ODSTs dropped. It could be any of them. It doesn't neccessarily have to be one of the ODSTs we know. Also, he/she may not be dead. We don't know yet.

Yes. It could also be a random location that you find ammo for your SMG and pistol.

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


i'd go with this, perhaps when you walk by, he's banging on the inside of it and yelling "help",

or he could even be unconcious.

Food nipples for grunts
Fresh bananas for the brutes
We all feed the Flood

Possibly there was a mongoose inside? It could be the one we saw in the game play trailer. Read the capacity section at the link. Highly unlikely though.

It also says in that game informer, that he gets picked up by a pelican and that gets taken down my banshees, and you have to cross roof tops with the sniper.

He cant be dead because in Dutch's flashback he is on top of tower telling the other ODST's to arm the detonators.

Buck and Romeo are together in the Game Informer article, so if it's anybody dead, it's Dare.

my youtube channel... check it out!

the game hasn't come out yet and you're speculating the ending.... patience is a virtue

The last time I tried to make a quote, a car smashed through my wall and the tire hit my grandmother in the other room. But for those of you who can haz once more between five, I say it will be five between seven divided by zero multiplied by Chick Norass and Broce Tee.

Non-Playable Charater

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.


Yeah, but the slip space rupture could have blasted an unknown ODST to the sector where Rookie is.

I still would go with a mongoose drop pod.

Maybe I will never be
All the things that I wanna be
But now is not the time to cry
Now's the time to find out why
I think you're the same as me
We see things they'll never see
You and I are gonna live forever

Nice find.
