I don't know if this was noticed or not or answered for that matter but earlier this week I noticed someone made a thread about whether or not in coop player would land in seperate pods througout the city. While it was pretty obvious I didn't see anyone confirm it with a valuable source.
Last night I was watching the Halo 3: ODST gameplay trailer and I noticed that there were two different pod locations. The first you see, you're in the pod and it is overlooking a huge courtyard with phantoms. Then it quickly skips to the main drop pod and then the guy drops out(same place as the demo Staten was showing off). So yes there will be multiple pod drop locations.

At 0:23 you'll notice the open area, right after that at 0:24 is the normal location.

Sorry if this has already been confirmed.

what is up people?

i think they skiped a little

I am not sure I would like that or not. It would be kinda cool but annoying at the same time.

I like it to be honest. You can set waypoints for you and your friend's to link up and meet.

  • 06.14.2009 2:12 PM PDT

That would be pretty cool. I wonder if you can wander as far away as you want from co-op partners?

Yeah you can since it's open world. You start off seperated and have to link up(if you choose).

  • 06.14.2009 2:17 PM PDT

Nice catch. That's pretty cool, and it would definitely mix things up a little.

  • 06.14.2009 2:18 PM PDT

My troll sense is tingling.

It would be an awesome way for your friends to join.

  • 06.14.2009 2:23 PM PDT

OMG..drop in and drop out co-op. Literally. When somebody joins they crash near the other player(s) in a pod. That would be badass

I watched it on youtube. It was a video of Staten playing and he said that you and your teammates can put waypoints on the compass so you can link up. Also it is pretty obvious with the trailer spots that I showed you. You can easily tell that those are two completely different locations.

You do realize that is the gameplay trailer right? Who is 'him', Staten? Because he isn't in the video. I watched the other video and he said that.

Last night I watched the official one on my xbox and it shows the same thing as this. Either way he said that. You don't have to believe me since Bungie didn't confirm something as small as this on an update but I here Staten say it himself. Just wait when it comes out.

  • 06.14.2009 2:49 PM PDT

Wow you're right.. it's a completly different place. I was hoping for something like this (Hopefuly it's true). If it is true... how far do you guys think we'll be split apart? Hopefuly we won't be too far away.

You can be the whole way across the city from your friend's. There is no teleporting to your teammates. either

Sounds like a bunch of Justin Bieber wannabes in here. I bet you all wear skinny jeans too.

And you can? Take your advice and listen to what he's saying. He has proof behind his theory, all you have is idiotic grammar and a bad temper.

It's an open-world shooter. Why the hell would you be able to teleport to friends?
That defeats the purpose the "Open World" part of the game...

Joseph Staten confirmed that there is no teleporting. You have to either walk or use 'other' means of transportation. You cannot teleport anywhere(unless you consider flashbacks teleporting). That is the reason for waypoints so you and your teammates can link up, stage ambushes, etc. If you could just teleport to your teammates it would ruin the whole purpose for waypoints.

One guy asked if there would be elephant travel and STaten said, "You know, once the game is released you'll find out how close you actually are." Hmmm, what could that mean? Not real elephants obviously.
