I wouldn't put too much thought into that little snippet. It's more likely for a flashback mission. There is the possibility that The Rookie dies, but I wouldn't assume that he dies from that snippet.

Well I killed a lot of ODST's for fun in halo 3 that were just walkin around so It's possible that one of them will die.>:)

Perhaps the image was taken in a cutscene where you are looking at the squad from the first person perspective of the Rookie.


Could be. But, it would be a first for the series.


No it wouldn't. In the Halo 3 2007 E3 trailer we see Covenant ships flying towards the Portal but we don't actually see the Portal. Just Lord Hood's Pelican flying past.

No offense, but I think this is a ridiculous idea, mainly because of how it was conceived. Your idea that the Rookie dies is like saying that Master Chief dies in Halo 3 when you only saw a half-second clip of a group of Marines.

The squad was split up anyway, just because they're not all together ALL the time doesn't mean one is dead.

And anyway, the answer to why he's not there could be as simple as that he's off camera to the right or left, and later in the cutscene, the camera pans to him.

I just think it's absurd to even THINK of any "theories" based on a half-second clip. I can also make up tons of "theories" based on that clip.....here's one: We dont see Dare in that clip, so she must off baking some cookies.

Lt Sartor: Dare kills her squad 4 r3c0n
goatman327]: they start bangin each other (buck and dare) in the back of the pelican in the end(thats y she kill squad, so they could hav some privacy on the ride home)
Graham 8D: 21 and didn't get. Not really bothered tho :) I just want that sexy body and one shoulder..

Also, the squad probably just found each other, and someone tells Rookie to go activate something or whatever, and he's just off-screen to go do that.

the rookie wont die

bungie wants it to feel as if you are the rookie (thats why there will be no face and no name)

if they killed the rookie it would be like they killed You
(like the chief at the end of halo 3, they should have killed him, but they just left him as lost so you think he's still alive.)

i really don't want the squad to die, i hate movies/books/video games when the all (or most of) the main characters die.

Very Interesting find thank you for putting this on the youtube aswell.

Im sure the rookie woudn't die, or if he does better make it some epic scene.


agreed, i want buck to be captured by brutes who are about to cut his head off with a brute shot, the rookie comes in somewhat stealthaly. buck sees him but the brutes dont. buck shakes his head at the rookies presence. the rookie gives him the "shhhh" sign. the rookie primes a grenade, throws it and springs into action quickly draining his m7s clip he reaches for his sidearm as a brute cheftain charges him. buck frees himself just in time to see the rookie knocked backwards by the cheftains gravity hammer, buck grabs a nearby spiker and proceeds to unload its clip, but buck is too late. the cheftain has the rookie backed into a corner. the rookie crawls backward as he screams "remember reach" and empties his clip into the brutes chest. the cheftain winds up and it cuts to black. you hear buck say "shouldda' been me" and it cuts to the ship where the first cutscene takes place as the squad prepares to drop one last time.

Heres my theory for the cutscene. Dare has finally reached her mission objective and she need to pull some files off of a computer or something. You, the rookie, are also there and must defend her from covenant while you wait for backup from the squad, Cutscene where Dare explains the true purpose of the misssion to the rookie, cut to the squad coming down the elevator, (Romeo probably complains about how slow the elevator is), cut back to the rookie and dare, dare finishes explaining, mission starts. You defend for awhile when, just as you are about to be overwhelmed, the squad shows up. You all escape and then this leads up to Halos trademark, escape while -blam!- blows up around you mission.

Maybe the Rookie finds out that the squad was to destroy a second peice of intel but on the way there DARE gets killed, but the squad continues on goes down the elevator and destroys the intel goes to come back up but the elevator won't go up, the Rookie finds the elevator and repairs it this would be the 4 going up to meet there savior being the Rookie that being why DARE and the Rookie aren't there... but thats just my guess.
