Subject: ODST to Halo 3 tie-in...

Okay, forgive me if I missed the thread about this. I'm sure SOMEONE has mentioned this in some of the over two-hundred topics:

The Rookie is voiced by Nathan Fillion of Serenity/Firefly fame.

You can hear his voice in Halo 3 after the bomb in Crow's Nest is detonated. He's telling the gathered soldiers to "Mount up! Get your boots on the line!"


I'm curious as to whether or not this is the same character.

As in: at the end of the ODST story, he will be reassigned to the Crow's Nest.

Do NOT send me Recruitment Letters, doing so will get you blocked faster than you can say "Huh?"

That guy was a Marine, Rookie is an ODST. Same actor, different character.

It should be noted that Stacker is an exception as he's shown as a regular marine and in ODST combat gear.

However in the case of ODST it is a different character. The character he voices in ODST is named Buck and looks exactly like the voice actor himself actually, whereas in Halo 3 the soldier he voices is a marine by the name of Reynolds.

In other words two completely different characters.

As in Malcolm Reynolds...his character from Firefly.

I must be getting older. I knew all of this.

Sigh.

Kinda funny when you think about how they actually modeled his likeness for Buck rather than doing that for Sgt. Reynolds. Anyways if you're curious here's the pic from ODST right here

Except in H3 it was only a small easter egg. In this game, it's a shout out to all of those Firefly fans. Also, Adam Baldwin voices Dutch, and Alan Tudyk voices Mickey.
