In the vidoc it showed romeo and Buck on top of a helipad high above the city, during the cutscene that was shown, Romeo had a fps view, suggesting that the player would play the next section as romeo....

Today an odd thought occured to me... Bungie employees mentioned in an earlier podcast that one of the flashback items was a sniper rifle hanging from a streetpost.

This got me thinking and i realized that this could mean that Romeo fell, was blasted off of, or lost his sniper over the edge. Now, perhaps Bungie was just making an example which in no way actually relates to Romeo, but i think that we'll so see that Romeo Dropped more than once in the upcoming game.

... just because he looses a single sniper rifle doesn't mean he's dead. He could be going into close quarters and switched out for a shotgun....

If he loses his Sniper Rifle, it's in the area we see when Buck is introducing him.

Why does the "black guy" always die?! lol... I don't think he dies.

yeah, he might not have died, I think he might'velost it over the edge, but that'd leave him with a pistol, and knowing halo games, shotguns will be in short supply.

Well when four of them are going on the elevator, Romeo is injured resting next too the railing (May have lost his sniper, but did not fall/die)

Can't be too careful with your company. I can feel the devil walking next to me.

Actually I believe that was the GameInformer article that said that.
I've speculated that there will be 2 people that die, Romeo and Mickey, but seeing more of the previews my ideas have changed. I still think that Romeo will die, mostly off of one quote,"That's just it, I ain't dead."

  • 07.31.2009 1:18 PM PDT

Well I personally thing that Romeo loses his sniper in the mission where you see him sniping jackals, but he isn't killed. Later at night the four of them (Buck, Mickey, Dutch, and Romeo) are in the elevator together so...
Also, on the elevator, he appears to be tense (or possibly relaxed) but not injured. He's got his arm crossed, not holding whatever hurts so I don't think he's in medical danger.

The Broken Sniper is from romeo hitting dare in the head with the sniper. I dont have proof but i am 100% sure its correct. After all dont you see a cracke Recon helmet in the achiement list pictures?

i just think he droped his weapon

  • 07.31.2009 1:41 PM PDT

Maybe he had to run and with such a long rifle running isnt that easy or he ran simply out of ammo?

  • 07.31.2009 2:01 PM PDT

reconz unite

maybe he was climbing a tree for no reason and dropped his sniper then couldn't reach it and later found another.

  • 07.31.2009 2:13 PM PDT

I thought it was a bent in half sniper rifle hanging from the pole? In one short scene, Romeo is standing as if he is hurt, without his sniper. So I assume he ran into some trouble but was saved.

God! REALLY! WTH?! Guys, you have to understand that if you have thoughts that could relate to spoilers, KEEP IT IN YOUR HEAD!

Really! You don't have to ruin it or talk about it on here! This is not the place for spoilers and since the game is VERRY close now, it's about time people just shut up and build hype, not build frustration.

One problem, if he died there then where is his body. Good point though.
