Subject: Make a Flashback Item

And so there was a man who ate cake.

And he was happy it was that way.

Since I have yet to see this done and thought it would be interesting to see what you guys could come up with, I decided to make a thread where you can freely create a flashback item for the various characters in Halo 3: ODST.

So far I know of these flashbacks:

Remote Detenator - Dutch

Sniper Rifle on a Lamp Post - Romeo (possibility)

Cracked Recon Helmet - Dare (possibility)

So we still have a flashback item for Micky and Dutch. And since there is a possibility that a character may have multiple Flashbacks, suggestions for Flashback items for Dutch, Romeo and Dare are still acceptable.

I know it's two months untill the game comes out and that we might aswell wait and see, but I figured this may release some anxiety. Sorry if this idea has been posted before, but I searched and didn't come up with a thread that shared this idea.

And please don't make vulgar suggestions, they will not be posted and if they are repeatedly submitted by the same person, you will be reported.

My Make a Flashback Item: The crashed Pelican from the ViDoc as a flashback for Romeo, Dutch, Micky or Buck.

PS This thread is for creating unique Flashback Items, not speculating on possible Flashback items.

PSS Thanks to GuiltySpark569 for a great list of Items they sent me through PM. Here is their list:

Mickey: You find his body dangling from a parachute which got caught on a building after bailing from an aircraft. He has multiple plasma burns in him, telling how he was obviously shot while trying to get loose. (Kinda sad, I know!)

Dare: A strange transponder device that is beeping annyoingly, and when you approach it, it blows up, and sends the Rookie flying backward. This making you question Dare's true intentions- although as I see it, it would just be to take out any Covenant that approach it; she didn't intend on it going of on the Rookie. And the Rookie lives.

Buck: His knife still stuck inside of a Brute's neck. Plain and simple.

Romeo: At a hospital, you find his chestplate and used packs of Med-Gel (because if you look closely in the ViDoc in the scene when they are all together (minus Dare and the Rookie), he is clutching his chest and holding himself up with his other arm- he looks pretty hurt (you should check it out!).

Dutch: Some charred armour, but no body- implying that he caught fire (from the ONI building explosion), but managed to get the armour off in time.


And now, some just for fun!

Mickey: His helmet with a DVD inside of it-- you play the same data file, and it turns out he was watching Who Framed Roger Rabbit.

Dutch & Buck: A couple of whatever stoners call a weed ciggarette.. a joint? Yeah, a few joints and a lighter.

Romeo: A used condom with a HOLE in it.

Dare: A 'positive' pregnancy test

And for a Bonus cutscene, you find Romeo's corpse, and all of the Hospital's abortion tools absent.

My problems [with Reach] are basically just full parties, mlg, and people who go out of their way not to get killed.

Dutch's flashback item could be a piece of a Covenant vehicle that is charred with a slight hint of red, hinting of a laster blast.

Of course, that is too narrow and the gamer will have no idea what that means. So, my idea won't happen but I'm just throwing it out there because I lack a real idea.

Hey, still a creative idea.

Maybe there could be a Splaser near it for the Rookie to see.

If this were a really gory game, I'd love it if Mickey's flashback item was his face.

=S

OK, maybe not. How about a crashed Banshee? After all, he's a pilot, and we know he flies them (ViDoc).

I was thinking about that when I made this thread, but tried to put the focus on MAKING a random one, not calling out one you saw.

A sixth sense, those ninjas have....

If you are reading this, ninja, I am sorry for doubting your dog nose powers.


Kk, enough with the Ninjas, lol.

They're ninjas for a reason; they'll sneak up on you and silence you without hesitation. Do you catch my drift, lol?
