He stole it from me.

i was watching a developer walkthrough from E3 on gametrailers, and as the developer paned around the map the map key stated a yellow becon as "friendly" as he panned around, multiple yellow beacons were visible. Will we be able to rally marines, or even odsts to help our cause? i think having a few guns backing me up in the city will help alot.

heres the vid, skip to 1:05 for the map

If you haven't noticed, there's still marine forces in the city along with the ODST that had just deployed after the slipspace rupture. In the flashback missions that have been shown there are still ODSTs and marines abound. Nighttime as The Rookie however is a different matter thus far there are no indications of there being an open active conflict between UNSC forces and the Covenant by the time the Rookie comes to.

....except for the fact that THERE ARE FRIENDLY SIGNATURES ON THE NIGHTTIME MAP!

I'd say you can say with definite proof that the overhead map has a symbol for friendlies. That we see any is simply speculation. Yes, it may seem odd to put a friendly symbol in the map to never use, but it could be used and not turn out to be a friendly. Covenant are probably smart enough to mess with their FOF once in a while.

This is me simply throwing a possible argument out there. I totally agree with you, but I like to keep my mind open to possibilities if I can.

i mean, maybe a few survivng marines are hiding out, knowing an all out attack would be suicide, and maybe give the rookie some ammo and maybe troops. read the map key!

Iam enjoying Halo Reach and revisiting some past Bungie games, iam a big fan of Bungie and their online community.

Maybe we will find the classic suicide marine.

Why So Serious?

That would be pretty sweet. I wonder how it would affect the open world aspect of the game though.
