So I just read the OXM Article. First of all, the article confirms the achievements that were leaked. Meaning that we now know that Romeo's Flashback is called NMPD HQ.

However, later in that article, they refer to the mission as Rooftops, the name we saw during the Halo 3: Mythic Blowout.

So, Romeo is mentioned in 2 missions, NMPD HQ and Rooftops, though they both take place in the same god damned place. And one is featured as a mission in the achievements, like every other mission, and one isn't.

So, which mission is Romeo's?

Check out the group, Planet Reach and talk about Bungie's next game without the annoyance of the public forum. Oh and it's nice there too.

You thought you had lag, it took Jesus 3 days to re-spawn.

They did say you would play as each squad member at least once. Maybe he has two missions.

why should you complain? if he does two missions that means more gameplay.

Well, from the achievements we know the missions already.

Tayari Plaza
Uplift Reserve
Kizingo Boulevard
ONI Alpha Site
NMPD HQ
Kikowani Station

Those are the flashbacks, followed by these 2 missions:

Data Hive
Coastal Highway

Rooftops doesn't fall in here anywhere.

why are you looking at this?

maybe NMPD HQ was an unofficial name for the level and it was changed to rooftops and the achievments were leaked before they changed the name.

Well in that case, maybe Rooftops is a save point of the NMPD HQ mission.

Don't think so as even in the magazine, when OXM details the achievements they had unlocked already, it mentions it as "NMPD HQ"

And I was thinking that Rooftops is a safe point but I don't know. OXM refers to it as a Mission.

Those damn leaked achievements... Why must people do this kind of stuff?

  • 08.22.2009 10:41 PM PDT

*Sigh* I need scans.. I can't find the magazine anywere!

Well if OXM says that then it's likely that he has two missions like Dutch. Only plausible reason. The achievements are only levels you beat to unlock something. That could be why this mission isn't listed.

It beats me as to why it's like that. It's either an extension of NMPD HQ (checkpoint) or Romeo's second mission that isn't listed in the leaks. If it doesn't unlock something, then it wouldn't be in the achievements.

But in the achievements, the mission Kikowani Station doesn't unlock anything as well. And its listed.
