Well it;s not actually called that, but I found the area of Campaign where Crater(night) is derived from. If you look at the video for the E3 trailer at 1:28 there is a part where it says "press b to open drop pod". If you compare that part with this, it's pretty obvious that they the same place.

Now then, what does this mean? At the top of the description for Crater(Night) in the weekly update, it says "Fight in Dare's sunken crash-site". So obviously, Crater is where you find Dare. In the video, it shows the player approaching Dare's drop pod while it is still closed, suggesting she is still inside of it. Since it takes place in the day, it cannot be The Rookie who finds Dare, which means it's one of the flashbacks. In the video, you can also see that there is a beacon on the compass, meaning beacons still play a role in the flashbacks. I would guess that it's Buck, due to the fact that he and Dare have met in the past, making him the most likely to go searching for her beacon.

If anyone else has another idea on what this discovery signifies, please feel free to post it in this topic.

EDIT: Changed title from "I found Crater(Day)!" to "I found Crater in Campaign!" to avoid confusion with the topic talking about the Crater(Day) firefight map.

EDIT 2: Replaced picture from weekly update with the movable image from the field guide.

I'm guessing it's Buck's flashback when you find and rescue Dare.

Four shots, four kills, reload, repeat. This is the work of a sniper.

Actually, I'm pretty sure that's a campaign part.

Firefight maps are excerpts from the campaign, similar to CoD4's multiplayer maps, this is probably where the crater map is taken from.

But technically, you DID find Crater(day) as this is Crater during the day.

If you had actually read my post, you would have noticed that I did say it was from campaign.

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

someone want to point out to me where they see any sign of it being day?
that looks like it's inside a building.

god do you people have such a misconstrued idea about what emo is.

Oh please enlighten us. We all want to know how misunderstood you are.

Damn, I was about to post about this!

Maybe that's how the game will be coming to a conclusion, seeing Buck's flashback, and then going to the point where Dare was (hence the empty pod in crater (night)) and lead us to the squad. If you listen at the start of the trailer, you hear Buck saying " Hey rookie, you out there? Respond. That's an order!" which leads me to belive that maybe they are inside some sort of building near to that position.

Sorry If I wasn't clear.

I basically meant, after you find Dare in Buck's location, you (may) go there as the Rookie and (might) find the rest of your squad

You can tell it's the same place as Crater(Night), and we know it's not indoors. Also, compare the lighting effects. The campaign one is way lighter than the Firefight one.

I don't think he was saying you weren't clear, I think he was saying he couldn't understand what Buck was saying before.

Agreed. I had no idea that was Buck's flashback.

So there's one flashback per character? Doesn't sound like a long Campaign to me.

Well, the flashbacks will probably be spread out over a time. You still have to explore the city, find easter eggs etc.

There's at least one flashback each, some might have more, and then there's all the time as the rookie.

Since when is something discovered two and a half hours ago old news? You youngsters seem to have a weak grasp on time.

it was discovered by someone else as soon as the E3 demo appeared.
who said i was young?

I just searched through all the ODST topics with Crater in the name, and none of them mention this what I have in my topic. It's actually impossible for someone to have made this topic at that time, considering we didn't even know it was Dare's pod until the update, and there was no clear picture of the pod. There are topics talking about that drop podand it's significance, but none make a connection to Crater. Also, it's hardly difficult to figure out your age with your birthdate in your name.

I'm telling you. I'd better just stick around and read all these topics instead of buying the game. The whole story is in these forums.
