Subject: what happens after halo 3:ODST?

I run Skirmish!!!

I just finished the ODST campaign recently again for the first time in a year or so, and i'm wondering what happens to buck, dare and the other ODST'S? Is there anything in the books about them or were they just made up for ODST?

...Buck was at Reach... So he was around before ODST (In the Halo Timeline)

But no one is quite certain what happenes to them after.

By the power of truth, I, while living, have conquered the universe.

We don't know, unfortunately they're not referenced again in the fiction. I'm personally holding out for an ODST 2 at some point.

Hopefully, they won't end up like other areas of canon which should be fleshed out and clarified, but won't be touched ever.

*cough* Halo Wars, Gamma company... *cough*

If ODST 2 does happen , they should atleast have match making in case your friends are on some other game or don't have it.

  • 06.17.2012 5:15 PM PDT

What a waste....

As previously stated, Buck was at Reach, but that's the only other thing we know about any of the squad. Nothing in the canon appears after ODST (IIRC).

@accordingto343

Your one stop shop for all of 343's fabulous errors and ridiculous notions in the Halo lore.

Actually, rest of Halo 2 happens.

I run Skirmish!!!

thanks for the responses everyone.... too bad we don't find out more about them and i highly doubt there will be an ODST 2 as halo 3 pretty much followed up.. Too bad because the ODST characters were really interesting :(

The Razor.

For the honour of the Mirratord.

One of the Halo comic book series, Helljumper, follows Dutch and Mickey before the ODST game, and the short story Dirt in Halo: Evolutions features the Rookie, but aside from them and the fact Buck was on Reach, we know nothing about what happens to them outside of the game.

ODST 2 wouldn't have to conflict with Halo 3. It could show what the squad get up to during the events of Halo 3, or what happens to them after the end of the war.

Straight from the wandering mind of Watson 203

If they survived the rest of the Human Covenant war I think the squad, especially Buck, could've made it into the Spartan IV program. I think they/he may come up in the Reclaimer trilogy sometime.
I doubt there will be an ODST 2, I just don't see where any developers could get the material for the campaign from with the current Halo canon. Unless, 343i create a whole new story based on battles previously unknown to us.

He came as a witness to testify concerning that light, so that through him all men might believe.
We are in the hands of infinite power and infinite sadism

Buck and Dutch's voice actors (Nathan Fillion and Adam Baldwin <3) are voice actors for ODST troopers inHalo 3 so its plausible for them to have gone through the Halo 3 campaign with the Chief and then left with the rest of the surviving forces before Johnson, the Arbiter, and John activated Installation 04(b). Of course, that is leaving A LOT to the imagination regarding these guys :P

Some people are theorizing some of the ODSTs will return as SPARTAN-IVs in Halo 4.

I largely doubt that for some reason.

But I wouldn't mind a cameo of them in the new trilogy somewhere.

yeah this is definite possibility. Because ODST's like buck would be a candidate for a spartan program especially with everything he has been through. I wonder if 343i will include buck in the reclaimer series of games since it is four-ish years after the human/covenant war ended

Did your parents have any children that lived?

But they're too old for the Spartan progamme. All Spartans were genetically altered and augmented as kids.

Riverside23: For all the women of the group, if you've got a real man at least let him have his big piece of chicken.

WhtButterflyLiz: lol. Bring home bigger chikkinz, then, real man!!!

The fiction surrounding the Spartan IV program (which will be introduced fully in H4) is that Spartan IVs will be consenting adults, no longer kids.

Read Glasslands.

The rest of halo 2

  • 06.18.2012 3:18 PM PDT

As much as an ODST 2 sounds fun, you can just play Halo 2 and Halo 3 and get the gist without playing as weak ODSTs.

Watch the Legendary Ending. Truth is on Earth and he finds The Ark.

That's the beginning of Halo 3, and that takes place right after ODST.
