Subject: How will mission select work?

I have just been thinking of this after seeing this image.It has a mission select tab, and I was wondering how this would work in an open world environment. I can understand being able to choose which flashback you do, but is that all you'll be able to choose?

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

it means you have gotten the mission done.
it'll pop you back in with that clue found or something....

actually, i have no idea. might just be idfferent segments of the city, so if you find that someone found a scarab gun on top of the building at the intersection of 1st and 5th streets, you'd go to whichever mission select starts you off cloder to there.
essentially, it's when you find another big chunk of town, that area becomes the next mission.
that's my guess.

They'd probably have to supply an overworld option in addition.(So as to not lock you in a mission,somewhat taking away from the "free roaming" aspect..)

It will be just like before free roam can be done from the start.

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

I'll bet you can select flashbacks, and just the typical free-roam. It'll keep things somewhat simple.

How come I never get the sniper rifle?!

My guess is that mombassa streets will change its name after finding each clue.

I just can't see how it would work. The flashbacks are essentially campaign missions from halo 3, probably having their own checkpoints in them. But with the free roam it'd have to be different because of collectables and some achievements. Perhaps a gamesave system?

I think, for example in Mombasa streets, when you have completed that, there will be rally points at each part of the city. :)

Perhaps you can coose your own location at whatever time period you want.
Ex: You coose ONI Alpha Site before Dutch's flashback.
