Subject: Rough Estimation of Campaign map size?

Without me, it's just "Aweso".

So as most of you know, a good portion of the game will be roaming around the city's ruins, but how big an area will this actually be? (As in Square kilometers)

It's supposed to be a free range sandbox game, like GTA sort of, i think.

I saw a map somewhere (sorry, but I don't have it) and it seems decent, but not huge.

in the e3 gameplay he says the oni is 1km away.

I would say a 3X4 square made out of sandtraps would do the trick.

Check out the group, Planet Reach and talk about Bungie's next game without the annoyance of the public forum. Oh and it's nice there too.

You thought you had lag, it took Jesus 3 days to re-spawn.

Not sure but during the demo he was about 1km away from the beacon. So, as a rough guess I'd say it's >2km or a little over a mile, possibly closer to 2 miles.

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

Seeing as there's a bridge that goes all around the city (Yes, you can access it. That's why it's there...) I think it'll be a good 5 KM large (Someone said that Avalanche is about a kilometer from one base to the other by going the long route, so I'm guessing it'll be Avalanche x5)

That makes sense, so it could be between 2-4 miles. Pretty good size. Of course it could be bigger. I would love to know an exact number from Bungie.

I wouldn't doubt it. Of course Avalanche is a huge map, and walking from the base to the ledge is quite a long ways to go, It's quite a short drive for a vehicle. And Bungie noted that ODST definitely has vehicles in it, so it might have to be a bit larger to fit them in there.
