Go Go Happy Time!

We all seen Dutch's flash back with mickey, but how will we see mickey's flash back? Is there a flashback for him? Because he was with Dutch, but I don't understand how Mickey's flashback will be.

You won't replay the same event twice as two different characters.

Mickey's flashback(s) happens later in the game, me thinks.

It's on a lot of community maps. Affinity, Think Twice, Abridged...

I meant good maps

Becuase Mickey may have a flashback where he meets up with him or something to that effect.

the real question is...
How does the Rookie have flashbacks of other people's memories?
but I don't think the flashbacks overlap each other, I'm sure they happen at separate key times.

That's a rather good question.

From the looks of it Buck and Romeo are split up from Mickey and Dutch. So you get 1-3 beacons at the same time at certain points? Even when they did meet up in the vidoc (pelican crash scene) they still got split up.


Remember, though it is invisible to us, the Rookie has to move at his own, in-canon time, throughout the night.

It isn't really a flashback. It is more like on those detective shows, where they "solve the mystery" and it shows a scene of the crime being committed. Except in this case, the Rookie pieces together a piece of the mystery and it shows that through an interactive scene, where you play as a different character shortly.

I'm not so sure that the Rookie is seeing the flashbacks, but rather the game is going back in time to detail the events leading up to the Rookie emerging from his pod. I do not understand, however, if the whole group ever meets up later on in the storyline, or if the campaign mode is just a series of flashbacks all leading up to a conclusion.

Yes.

For the game's sake, of course, you play out the flashbacks when in reality the Rookie is a rather smart fellow and can put together what he has seen into what happened earlier in the day.
