So in ODST you will flashback from Rookie's point of view to somebody elses. Like when you go to Dutch's you're with Mickey. So will that mean that Mickey will not have one? Please help even if you can't because none of us have played much of the game unless you went to E3.......

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

mickey will probably have one.
i doubt Dutch gets two.
one clue you find (i think. it was a really good colored sketch thingy) is Dutch's laser next to a destroyed wraith. so who knows?

The fight has been complete.... now get the cookies!

While we certainly share your enthusiasm for the return, we here at the Bungie.net community are mostly made up of snarky asses and jerks who will ridicule you for making a thread about something revealed months ago. We regret that your innocent intentions will almost certainly be replied with anger and sarcasm, and politely invite you to don your Flame-suit, because you just did the internet equivalent of jumping up the Construct lifts.

Everyone will have one. Just because he is in Dutch's doesn't mean anything.

But when you found the remote detonator shouldn't you play as mickey? Instead you play as Dutch.

I know, I know. I'm saying though that Mickey is in Dutch's flashback so will Mickey have almost the same flashback?

very unlikely as all the flashbacks a triggered in different areas of the city. as the are the clue is found it is where the flashback takes place, it likely will happen elsewhere

also the Dutch mission is 2 hours after the drop, so it could well be a mission before that that was mickeys

But when you found the remote detonator shouldn't you play as mickey? Instead you play as Dutch.

possibly because Mickey's job was to arm them. Dutch's was more of cover fire, perhaps.
though when the large wave got to the bridge, it more of a 'o crap, arm those detonators and run like hell'
and they figured shooting at covies> running and hitting RB.

my question is, if you flash back and a main character like mickey dies...is that mission over?

you mean like for the detonator one (where you play as Dutch) if mickey dies, do you just stop the flashback?
prolly not, he'd just stand up like johnson or arbiter in h3, most likely.
or do you mean if part of the story is for them to die when playing as them?
yea, that'd probably end a flashback.

  • 06.29.2009 11:36 AM PDT

I wonder if you get to play as Dare. She is, afterall, part of the squad.

It will probably be like the Arbiter in Halo 3 when you are playing Single-player he is pretty much invincible.

the first one. say they are fighting next to you and a wraith blows them up and kills them. i guess the "ressurecting" standing up could return... forgot about that.

Like somebody said above me "Will you play as Dare?". I think you will. It seems highly unlikely though

I guess there is no certain order to the flashbacks. So the bridge is probably not the first thing dutch and mickey did. They were probably seperated for about an hour before they met at the bridge. and they went there because it is a unsc base and they were ho[ing there would be others there, wich there were. =]

You will get to play as her in firefight - not sure about campaign though.

The only thing I hate is that it is retarded how you get knocked out but your teammates don't. It's like Half Life 2 where Alyx goes through the teleporter just fine but when you go in the head crab messes it up.

Each member gets their own flashback. It doesn't matter if another member is in theirs.
