Subject: Will Buck be in this game? *Possible Evidence inside*

I was just looking at Buck on the ODST field guide, when I noticed something.

Eddie Buck is a career Marine that has seen more than his fair share of this war. He has had the dubious honor of participating in many of the wars most vicious battles; including both the liberation of Harvest and the fall of Reach. That he has survived through it all speaks volumes. Truly, if he was any better he'd be a Spartan.

It seems he was at Reach, and yet survived. Is it possible that he will be in Halo : Reach? One of the figures in the above banner, the one with the Sniper, when zoomed in and digitally restored, has a visor a lot like that of an ODST - Smooth and rounded unlike the rough edges of Mjolnir armour. Is this our favourite Gunnery Sergeant posing?

We know for certain he was at Reach, the question is, will he be in the game?

Your liver is a slut.
Hey, don't be a zumbo! Join Halo Wars RTS!
I'm right 97% of the time. Who cares about the other 4%?

Hmm... It's possible, and it'd be kinda cool, but I doubt it. I mean, there were a lot of Marines at Reach, so the likelihood of running into one specific ODST is pretty slim. It could happen, though.

Maybe Buck could make a cameo?

"Digitally restored"? You can't digitally restore a silhouette.

Well, someone made this. Sorry for not knowing the term, I don't know much about imagery.

And yes, I was thinking we could fight beside him. That would be a cool cameo.

It's not Hip-Hop, its Electro.... prick.

Maybe a small cameo

  • 06.30.2009 12:17 PM PDT

Oh yeah It's Rayzed.

If we play as Marines then I already know the perfect set to play as. Charlie company's last four surviving Marines that were seperated from the Spartans in First Strike. They were seperated from the rest of the team and then lost contact. I'm guessing the Marines' gear was probably effected by the EMP blast sent out from a Covenant Cruiser's Plasma blast. Earlier in the book you see that the blast also shut down Fred's Banshee, Shields, and HUD.

My ROFLsniper goes POW!

Maybe a spartan meets him and his squad has been depleted to very small numbers. The spartan asks "Who's in command here?" and Buck says"I guess I am sir, but Im only a corporal(that is probably something close to his rank back then). The spartan asks his name. Buck says "Eddie Buck sir." The spartan says "I brought a(n) *insert vehicle here*, Get your squad into it and we'll get out of here." Buck- "Thankyou sir." They all get into the vehicle and head to a spartan rally point.
I think a good scenario for this would be that a small group of spartans had found eachother and decided to split up and look for survivors and get them back to the rally point to create a decent offensive agains covenant at important areas.
And i think the vehicle wiould probably be a transport warthog or a pelican. Hope you like the idea. =]

Nice idea; but I doubt he would only be a corporal. The fall of Reach was only a couple of months before ODST.

Digitally restoring an image basically has to do with images that have lost their quality in some way, whether by physical photos losing color or decaying with age, or simply trying to scale up an image and retain the crispness. Since a solid black shape really has no details to restore, you can only really try and sharpen up the edges.

Anyway, I said that because it's a bit early to try and pick things out from the banner, faceplates included. Don't get me wrong, though, I'm a huge Fillion fan and would love to see Buck make a cameo.

Ya you have a point. Thx for the complement though. =]

  • 06.30.2009 10:29 PM PDT

Maybe, maybe not. Its seems more likely the Chief will be on this game in someway, as he was on Reach at the very end.

Look... I'm on bungiepedia!

It would be cool to see him but I doubt that he is one of the sillhouettes in the banner. I think that they are all Spartans (look at their height).
