Subject: Just had a crazy idea...

I was thinking about what secrets Bungie could possibly have in store for us in ODST, when it hit me like a freight truck. What if one of the flashbacks we experience are of one of Master Chief's adventures in New Mombasa during the events of Halo 2? What if we play something that he did on Earth but we didn't get to experience during Halo 2? Bungie has always maintained that Halo 2 was severely lacking in the content it could have contained, especially the Earth sections. I think it's a very real possibility. What are your thoughts?

That would be so Epic, my brain would explode.

And so there was a man who ate cake.

And he was happy it was that way.

Since they already confirmed Spartans wouldn't come through in the game, this probably won't happen.

And since you already played through his experience in Halo 2 it wouldn't work very well in my opinion.

Here’s what Luke had to say about the differences in treatment between the Spartans and Elites in Reach:

“Instead of piece-by-piece customization like the Spartans, Elite customization is a full model swap with models selected from the various Elite classes appearing throughout the Campaign. There are all kinds of reasons for this, not the least of which is our continued emphasis on the Spartan as your identity in Reach.”

That's pretty good for 2 hours of music without explosions and people yelling. I don't care if you steal it, but God does...

ODST's are dropping in during the slipspace rupture that destroys the city.

You know, that one...

where...

Master Chief...

Left...

Earth...

It would be an out of body experience to fight with MC on earth, but the game takes place after he leaves. Sorry.

I think it's a good idea because while I loved Halo 2, I felt short-changed after beating the campaign because I was expecting to kick some serious ass on Earth as Chief, but we only got like 2 missions. They were awesome. More of this would be greatness, but that's just my opinion. I do get you when you express concern about it working well considering the potential disruption of Halo 2's story line by adding more things; however, I'm confident Bungie could pull it off.

I don't know if you realize that we will play "flashbacks." These "flashbacks," or "past event-segments," take place in the "past." I know that the ODST flashbacks take place after the rupture, but an Chief flashback could take place "before" the rupture. And by the way, all of the flashbacks are "out of body experiences" because during them you play as someone other than the rookie.

I'm not saying I would not have loved to see the Halo 2 Earth missions expanded upon, but the trouble in explaining why you didn't see those particular moments would be so incredibly hard to explain.

Yeah, I totally get what you mean. But it would certainly be nice if Bungie could do it whilst maintaining the integrity of the original plot.

  • 07.29.2009 9:13 PM PDT

of course it could be a segment we did play like the scarab fight or something... you could discover the scarab, if the cars and lights aren't gone i doubt the explosion could have destroyed it.

I think that would be cool, especially if it could be shown what Master Chief is really capable of.

That is a great theory dude. Even if it cant or doesnt happen thats one of the few good ideas ive heard about this game.

Also, just somewhat off subject, i would be entertained to know how Chief got out of the Dreadnought and onto earth
