If I was to be an ODST, I would be Buck or Mickey.

I've just noticed something, if anyone else hasn't.
In the annoucement trailer, just before the big explosion, when you see the ODST drop pods fall, you see about a dozen or so going a different direction. In the E3 gameplay video, you hear, after the rookie drops from the ship, Buck and the ONI woman discuss about changing direction. Apparently, this special group is diverted elsewhere before the covanent ship jumps to slipspace.
Check the opening cinematic from E3, notice when the ONI person says -'standby to adjust trajectory, on my mark'
Buck-'we're way off course'
ONI-'we're heading exactly where we need to go'.
Then compare this to the ODST annoucement trailer. If you notice at 22 seconds in, a small amount of drop pods are heading elsewhere.
Anybody else notice this? I was wondering if the ONI person knew that the covanent ship would go to slipspace and adjusted course. Will this be part of the conspiracy in the story?
Lets have your views.

Thank you sir, that was an epic rendition of this topic.

and how!

Projectory is not a word, you are looking for trajectory.

Back on topic, DAREs mission was to change the course of the ODSTs from the start, no one knew they were going to jump inside the city.

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.

She was not aware at all that the Prophet Of Regret would jump into Slipspace. The original mission was to assist the Master Chief in Boarding the Carrier. However DARE apparently has other orders and it invovles the ONI Alpha Site whicvh is why they changed the trajectory.

It was just mere coincidence that Regret decided to jump into Slipspace.

another question is who are in the other 6 drop pods? if there are 12 pods in the announcement trailer

12 - 6 (you and your squad) = 6 more

unless of course the guys who made the announcement trailer made a mistake...

There were more squads with them, however they all most likely perished in the blast since they were still continuing with the original mission, which was to take the Prophet Of Regrets carrier.

Ok, DARE probably didn't know regret's ship would jump. And sorry, it's trajectory, not projectory.
Dare probably has a secret mission that uses the squad. And if you look in the annoucement trailer, there's more than just 6 pods, more like 12 that seperate from the massive number of other pods.

no.

hundreds of pods were coming down in that video

and about 12 or 13 pods split away (due to dares course change) and speed down towards the city. there are only 6 squad members so.... there are still at least 6 unexplained pods

look at :22

Um, there were more squads with them, which explains the other pods.

I counted 15 drop pods that broke away from the rest. So besides that of Rookie, DARE, Buck, Romeo, Dutch and Mickey, what are the other 9 pods doing?
At least another full squad. Will they play a part in the story as well?

As I stated, the original mission for all of the ODSTs (even the Rookies squad) was to assist in the capture of the Prophet Of Regret in New Mombasa. However as we all know, DARE orders the Rookies squad to change the trajectory and the rest who didn't more than likely perished in the blast caused by the Slipspace Jump.

Yes, the ODST's original mission was the ship. But DARE orders the squad away. But in one vid, you see more than just the squad moving away from the rest before the blast. MORE THAN JUST BUCK'S SQUAD.
