Subject: How do you think ODSTs will move about the freeroam enviornment?

in one interview at e3 one person mentioned elephant travel.
i hope there are banshees we can hijack or something. to get
around the city. Flying around it in a banshee would be amazing!

1. walking XD

2. there is a highway going around new mambasa, so warthogs, and mongooses

3. some unknown form of travel.... trains maybe?, there is a place on the visr map called kikowani station so that may be a train station.

Well it's Halo, we've got tons of vehicles to get around in, and I like the idea of train travel to get across the city fast. But I think we will end up doing a lot of good old fashioned walking, theres so much you can miss in an open world if you just go flying by in a car.

  • 07.26.2009 9:24 AM PDT

Well most games use the left stick to move.............

I'm thinking we will walk, and use some vehicles of some sort. Probably just a mongoose or something.

he is supposed to be alone in the city, people will find him if he uses a train. It will expose his location.

nubba dub scrub in a tub

probably just gonna have to hump it around the city, mabey a warthog.mongoose here and there.

Personally I'd like either driving a hornet or being ferried around in a pelican around the city's skyscrapers. Not that it will ever happen though.

what makes u say they cant fly banshees? becuz its a covenant vehicle? cuz if u look at halo 1, on the level where u rescue keyes from the covenant, when u escape, keyes flys the giant covenant thingy out of the cruiser. (proof that regular marines can use covenant vehicles) so dont count out the possibility.


oh and i an interview, they mentioned something similar to elephant travel, so they might have some giant, heavily armed slow moving transport vehicle u can use. but, if anything, i want em to include a pelican, or 1 of those giant human fighter thingys that looks like a stealth bomber(the 1 u escape in in halo 1)

  • 07.26.2009 9:35 AM PDT

the train idea probably wouldn't work because then its more like an rpg than a halo game

I believe the word you are looking for is longsword. I hate to be a fun-killer here, but i dont think flying one of those really fasts jets around a dense city is a good idea. I share your enthusiasm for the plane though

You know those days where you wake up and you just don't want to get out of bed? those days when you drag your feet across the floor like a zombie? yeah, I'm having one of those days.

i love the idea of roming around a huge city in the night and rain in my warthog...it would be awsome...kinda like a ghost town...driving alone looking for the last remains of my squad...

also spartans have a microchip in there head that allows them to hijack vehicles.

Ok while it hasnt been confirmed if you can use banshees, I just watched the trailer again and there is a shot of a banshee doing a flip with the exact same camera angle used for flying them in halo 3. I'd say its a fair bet you can use them
Secondly. the "chip in their brain" is neural implant chip, many people from the halo universe have them, not just spartans. captain keys has one. The spartans can Hijack vehicles because they are fast,agile,strong and augumented super soldiers, unlike most other humans.

I think they can just drive them.

And you can only hijack vehicles in Firefight mode...

You can only do that in Firefight.

In campaign your full ODST. Firefight lets you us Gravity hammers, Brute shots, carry turrets, etc.
