I'd love to be a 10 year old and tell my mom I'm going on an adventure out into the world catching Pokemon, with her full support. Never mind the fact that there are rapists, criminals, and murders out there, or the fact that I may get killed by a Pokemon.

Luckily I have Pikachu.

It is gonna be much larger than Assault On The Control Room... and that's an understatement by the looks of it.

I'm sure it won't be too small seeing as we're getting a vehicle to drive about in.

There isn't a way of knowing. I'm sure it won't be completely open world, I think it will be quite linear and the actually playable part of the city will not be all that big.

  • 07.12.2009 4:43 AM PDT

I am reularg.

I looked pretty big. I'm going to say about the size of two Point Lookouts.

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.

In the IGN E3 Gameplay Demo the Bungie employee stated the rough traveling time (on foot) from wherever he was to the ONI Alpha Site was roughly half an hour to fourty five minutes. He also said that there are other methods of transportation. I expect ODST to be like Halo 3 and Fallout 3's love child.

That's a very very, very good thing!

I think it will be about 2-3 times of the entirety of sandbox even outside of the play area. I believe that due to the slipspace rupture in Halo 2 however much of the city will be cut off at least temporarily and certain missions such as the one demonstrated in the trailer (blow up the bridge) will open new areas and progress you further. I hope that there are new modes of transportation such as using the cars scattered throughout mombossa. There will also hopefully be revisits to places from Halo 2. Of course the state of the city will be much darker and destroyed. I also hope there will be new UNSC transports such as a motorbike or possibly a unicycle, i would love to ride a unicycle.

I want to say twice as big as Point Lookout, or 1/2 of the Capitol Wasteland.


Probably half of the Capital Wasteland.
