If you've seen the ODST gameplay video (which I'm assuming everyone has), you'll notice Joe Staten started his adventure into New Mombasa by turning right after exiting the drop pod. He proceeds to get some health from a kiosk and then continues on his way.

My question is if you'll follow his lead and also go right the first time you exit the pod? Assuming Joe has played through the ODST Campaign multiple times, it might be a good idea to follow his inadvertent "suggested" direction. Based on his experience, turning right might be an "ideal" way to start the campaign.

Or, it was completely arbitrary and going to the left or some other direction (back up??) is just as effective.

So....right or left?

I hate you so much...

But not as much as I hate the internet.

We must move forward, not backward, upward not forward, and always twirling, twirling, twirling towards freedom!

Well if you notice what happened to the ODST when he jumped out of the pad he got hurt. I would go the the Kisok and obtain a health pack. Then I would a map of the city and explore for some good old Bungie Easter Eggs.

BACK IN THE POD!!!

Im gonna go up.

  • 06.11.2009 8:48 AM PDT

Good, bad, I'm the guy with the clichéd lines.

I would go right to get the health pack. It only makes sense since you start the game with damage taken already.

There are two things on this forum that piss me off;
Idiots and group invites.
What's even worse, is that I can never seem to get away from either of them ¬_¬

I'm going to where ever I want. Hell to order, if I'm given a choice I will make damn sure I choose which ever path they don't suggest XD

Agreed. I also think I'll probably end up spending some time in the start area after getting Health to move and jump around, try out the VISR mode, and shoot the new SMG and Automag.

thats what i was going to go my own -blam!-ing way

I think when Joe was moving at a slow pace that was the game engine controlling you. I think it forces you to walk that way and discover the health pack.

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

i'll dig a path!

  • 06.11.2009 1:43 PM PDT

i'm so icy.

I'm just gonna explore and take the path that interests me, like I've always done in any other video game. Although if the SI hints at a certain direction, I will probably abide by it considering that will allow me follow the storyline and play the game correctly.
