Subject: how will the respawn work ?

wait...... did you say pancakes !?

most of you people already know that its gonna be a free roaming campaign but if it is free roaming how and where and when will you respawn when you die ?
i mean where do you get checkpoints because there are many wayes to take . you can get to oni alpha site but when you die on the road to the place you need to sespawn somewhere . where will you respawn is my question .

I would name my son Ezio Shepard Mactavish Vakarian Arbiter.

Checkpoints after a certain amount of time I think.

Two makes there more than speakers.

You just spawn at your last checkpoint. But I think the checkpoints will be at places that will be important or at a working phone.

By the power of truth, I, while living, have conquered the universe.

Yeah, as you reach certain areas you will get checkpoints. The first, I believe, is where you find the VISR Data Phone.

You pulled that one out of the air. Not confirmed at all.

Your guess is as good as mine and as good as the next guy's - I reckon it's after you kill a Covenant squad or find a clue or something along thise lines.

I'm starting to think the phone would work better.

There was a thread about this. It is possibly that all of you come out of drop pods in different locations and you ahve to meet up with eachother. If you mean when you die then it will probably be exactly like halo 3 campgin where oyu have to be somewhere safe.

in the IGN demo he was walking and hit like two checkpoints, so I think they just have areas that trigger checkpoints when ever you go there

Exactly right. Watch any demo from E3. They get checkpoints every now and then, same as regular Halo.

Like after he walks around and gets that med pack, I think he gets one. It's been a week or so since I've watched an E3 video.

In all of the gameplay vids I saw, they got a checkpoint after you killed one of the Covenant patrols.

I'm guessing it just loads different areas, and it watches your path and puts you a certain time away from when you died - so if you leave a building and die within five seconds, you'd respawn in the building.
