Subject: Why is there a closed ODST pod in the Halo 3: ODST gameplay trailer?

If you watch the trailer below, you'll come to a few quick seconds of video that show, possibly the rookie, looking at a closed ODST pod. If you freeze the video there is an action prompt below the crosshairs that read, "Hold (B) to pry open pod." What does this mean? Is a dead ODST inside, could it be Dare, or is it a Covenant trick? Please tell me and the world what you think in the comments. I'm as baffled as you are. Here's the video, pause at 1:27:

I'm pretty sure it is Dare because that is in the level "crater", and in the firefight level "crater: night" the pod was confirmed to be Dare's. This implies she was stuck in her pod but was rescued. By Buck I am assuming.

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

It could just be filled with weapons and ammo.

Probably not. The UNSC has the smaller pods they drop from pelicans, rememeber?

  • 07.10.2009 11:08 AM PDT

-blam!- Was that actually blammed out? Or did I just type it? You'll never know.

Could be weapons and ammo, or maybe a dead ODST.

Donuts > all other food

Didn't the UNSC have some pods that carried mongooses?

  • 07.10.2009 11:11 AM PDT

My troll sense is tingling.

Some pods suffer from glitches, whilst some keep the door closed to use it as bait for the enemy.

  • 07.10.2009 11:19 AM PDT

That's some expensive bait. Cheaper at wal-mart though.

Yeah in The Cole Protocol. ODST pods can be used to carry lots of weapons, instead of just one or two.

I agree...
That would be cool.
If it isn't, that's a good idea, you should message bungie about it :P

  • 07.10.2009 11:41 AM PDT

It would be funny as hell if one of these two things happened to whoever is prying open the drop pod door:
A. An Infection form hops out and infects the Rookie.
B. The door blasts open and instantly kills the Rookie, ending the game.

Note: Your not the rookie when you find the pod as its during the day time.

Why 'b'? 'b' has never been the interact button in Halo.
