Subject: Wait a Minute!!!!!

I just thought of something. So you start off as the Rookie, then throughout the game you flash back to various ODST's. Bungie commented that you play as each ODST AT LEAST once. And everyone can can probably guess that The Rooke will swoop in at the end and save the day. Thats just how it works! So if you played the game to the end without flashing back (playing only as the Rookie), then the Rookie probobly only gets like an hour of gametime. So it will seem like the Rookie really doesnt accomplish much. So hes not much of "hero" type. He just lies in his pod, uncontious for 6 hours, while his team is doing all the work. Then when he wakes up he goes out by himself and get lucky and saves the day in an hour.

Just sayin'

Eat raw meat.
Punch a bear in the face.


If you don't know who I am, the feeling is mutual.

What? Of course he doesn't accomplish much, he's unconscious and most of the Covenant are dead.

Go Rams and Missouri!

I don't know how much time I'll spend as the Rookie, but I'm not going to just skip through everything to play the flashbacks. And the Rookie isn't meant to accomplish much. He wakes up and his mission is to find his squad.

SO swooping in and saving all his team mates lives isnt accomplishing much eh? how about you play the game first.

His accomplishment is finding his squad.

I'm not sure there's much left in New Mombasa to save. Besides destroying the few Covenant squads remaining.

his accomplishment is staying alive after landing alone in enemy territory. I think most modern day soldiers would agree this is a very good accomplishment.

I'll wait 2 minutes -_-

who says he saves the day? new Mombosa or whatever gets destroyed.

I'm wondering how people are going to play through the game co-op if you only play as one at a time.

The fight has been complete.... now get the cookies!

While we certainly share your enthusiasm for the return, we here at the Bungie.net community are mostly made up of snarky asses and jerks who will ridicule you for making a thread about something revealed months ago. We regret that your innocent intentions will almost certainly be replied with anger and sarcasm, and politely invite you to don your Flame-suit, because you just did the internet equivalent of jumping up the Construct lifts.

Well just looking at the surrounding building and ground, it looks like most of the city survived. Just a city to re-populate in is something to accomplish saving.

And then when you play Halo 3, a New Mombassa is in the background, far on the opposite side of you while you're on Tsavo Highway, you can see it burning on fire with tens of Covenant Cruisers and Capital Ships directly above it.
