Buck and Dare's pods were right next to each other. They could be together. Why would bungie even make the character if he dies before he does anything heroic like Miranda, her father, and sergeant johnson

YOU!

Yes you! You. Are. Dead!

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.

wow, my dick broke so i ain't getting it for a while!

UPDATE: Defnop552 has confirmed he has fixed his dick.

The sheer amount of Drop Pods that fell could make it so any ODST would be in there, even some unnamed one.

Juzzz is my name, sniping my fame. You cannot aim, its not your team to blame!

*English is my 2nd language, spell check is on but don't blame me on my grammar plz.

the Rookie was unconscious for 6 hours maybe the guy in the pod is just an ODST that is still unconscious and rookie is waking him up and there you have an new in game partner :D.


BTW why does a lot of people say that dare is betraying everyone ???
her profile is not complete and everyone is saying that she is evil etc..
she got recon you know so she deserve it, i think she is an high ranked ODST and classified to wear the recon armour.
and because she is an high ranked ODST there profile is classified to the others

EDIT:
in the trailer at 1:28 it says: "Hold (b) to try open drop-pod".
so i think you need to find more, like Bungie said you can play just to do the primary objectives, but you can explorer new Mombasa to.
so maybe its an side quest to find all the missing drop-pods! Like the halo 3 terminals!

Maybe Buck was also knocked unconscious by the rough landing, like the Rookie?

I doubt he is dead. It wouldn't make for much of a great flashback would it? I imagine it is either someone trapped or a drop pod full of weaponry.

As for Dare messing with the drop pod....... no just no.

How would you know Dare wouldn't do it? It could happen. We'll have to wait and see.

if knowledge is power and power corrupts, isn't knowledge therefore dangerous?

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


Thats possible, but it's been 6 hours since the drop, and im pretty sure he would have run out of oxygen.
Do the pods not have a failsafe for that sort of thing?

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

that, and the Rookie was stuck in his for 6 hours...
worked for him, why not anyone else?
and they did use drop pods for weapons, so it could just be a weapon cache. where else are you going to get human ammo?

  • 06.11.2009 12:54 PM PDT

just want to say if it is him stuck in the pod it doesnt matter he would stay alive after all the rookie did (so if a newbie can do it, i bet someone who has proberbly had alot of experience with his pod landing upside down) would be able to do it 2

You guys are idiots, I'm sorry, but really. Did you not watch the opening cutscene? It showed a hell of a lot more than 6 pods drop. It could be another ODST, not any of the main characters. Please think before you post these topics.

halo3 odst 9/22/09

halo reach falls in 2010 (also search halo reach on amazon.com you can pre order it) i didnt so you might not want to

i bet that when you pry open the drop pod he is a live maybe knocked out and fight till you locate your whole odst squad

Hmm I just scoured through the trailer for Buck. He's not clearly there....... He doesn't have a backpack so it should be dead easy to see him and his little antenna on his helmet. He seems to be in firefight (killing one of the 2 hunters with a mauler) but not in the rest of the trailer.

No way they would have showed that drop pod on its own unless for a reason.

Ohhh drama.

its still earth you know so human weaponry

  • 06.11.2009 2:46 PM PDT

you aren't the only batch on ODSTs that were sent there.

didn't you see the trailer? there are a LOT of ODSTs that dropped down to earth.

i remember bungie saying that one way to get health packs was to find dead ODST bodies and take theirs.

this is probably one way to get health packs and ammo.

  • 06.11.2009 2:49 PM PDT

All this about very few Oxygen..

Did noone realize that the Rookie was also stuck inside for 6 hours?

Maybe it's a nameless ODST, and the pods are there for ammo and guns? Good way to get new ammo for the Human weapons.

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.

woot back door.......ah man where are my keys


what back door?

i support this idea

LOL that would be absolutely HILARIOUS if bungie made this whole big deal about the rookie trying to find his lost squad and they have been trapped in thier pods this entire game

I'm gonna hate it if when you open the door, the mechanism that makes the door burst open and goes really far splatters you and you die.

  • 06.11.2009 3:11 PM PDT

Why does Bungie put us through such avid anticipation?

It looked like daytime in the trailer when it circled the drop pod, so maybe we see it as another ODST in a flashback. And remember, there were a lot of helljumpers going off the ship as regret slipspaced so we don't know if it's even a named character, it could be just some intel that needs to be secured.

  • 06.11.2009 3:12 PM PDT

Here’s what Luke had to say about the differences in treatment between the Spartans and Elites in Reach:

“Instead of piece-by-piece customization like the Spartans, Elite customization is a full model swap with models selected from the various Elite classes appearing throughout the Campaign. There are all kinds of reasons for this, not the least of which is our continued emphasis on the Spartan as your identity in Reach.”

It might be another team's pod. There were hundreds launched.

  • 06.11.2009 3:12 PM PDT

Or maybe there's a Flashback of Mickey and that's Dutches pod, remeber Bungie has stated that you will atlease play as each character. Maybe Mickey, and Dutch crashed in the ONI building.
