If you watch the trailers you can see that there is obviously more than one squad of ODST's falling to the surface of New Mombasa. In the teaser trailer there has got to be at least 10. Do you think The Rookie will meet up with one? Say your theories of why me might or might not meet up with one.

A soldiers sacrifice is never forgotten

16 ODSTs. so that would be roughly about 4 squads, and you play with them in the flashbacks

You only play as the rookie's squad.

"Anyone can give up it's the easiest thing in the world to do. But to hold it together when everyone else would understand if you fell apart, that's the true strength."

Obviously he means WITH them.
But that's wrong. You only play with the marines/new mombassa police.
The other ODST landed in another section of the city.

That is probably what happened is that they landed in another part of the city. Either that or they are all dead.

Only your Squad was diverted. The rest of the ODSTs flew straight into the Carrier, hence, probably being completely destroyed by the Slipspace Rupture.

I wish I was still legendary.

There's 22 pods seen at once at the most, I counted...and 16 crashed into the carrier or were blown WAY off course. So no other squads, although some may hold supplies.

With my earlier reply and with me agreeing with this, I bring your attention to this

Possible Drop Pod that wasn't diverted? You can open these stuff to find supplies and maybe additional information, feeding into the as of yet unannounced 'Intel' section of the VISR Database?

The War is over... The Rain is falling...

Lets not forget the first teaser when they showed alot more dropping down.

First trailer was Pre-rendered. Not actually what happened. For example, the Rookie lands on the ground in that trailer. In actual gameplay, he's somewhere up high.

I think that rookie will find a pod with equipment in there. I think he'll probably find some kind of thing to contact Earth. Remember, this is in the future so long distance communication could be available.
