It&#8217;s also hard to believe that during this span of time we&#8217;ve seen no in-game footage of the new title &#8211; not a single still frame or screenshot, besides concept art and carefully extracted character models. \u00a0Thankfully, though, dawn has broken and in the blink of an eye we&#8217;ve been enveloped by ODST videos, screenshots, 3D renders, &#8220;field guides,&#8221; and much more.<\/p>\n<p>Facing this sensory overload, we can only do our best to try and fit together the puzzle pieces that Bungie has handed us. For now, let&#8217;s put aside some interesting, but ultimately minor, points &#8211; such as a larger grenade count and flyable Banshees &#8211; and take a look at some important questions: What sort of situation has the Rookie found himself in on the ground? Where are his fellow team members? Where is his commanding officer? And &#8211; perhaps most importantly of all &#8211; why is he even here in Mombasa?<\/p>\n<p>While most of these questions cannot be answered until we take control of the Trooper ourselves, I think we can all agree that Bungie has given us enough evidence today to allow us to start forming some solid ideas on what ODST has in store for us &#8211; and just maybe they&#8217;ve answered a mystery or two, as well.<\/p>\n<p>So let&#8217;s take everything that&#8217;s been revealed so far and put it all together&#8230;<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/blog.ascendantjustice.com\/the-best-laid-plans-page-1\/\">[Go to Page 1]<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>An overview of the fictional events witnessed in the Halo 3 ODST E3 &#8217;09 trailers&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":[],"categories":[1],"tags":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/blog.ascendantjustice.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1896"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/blog.ascendantjustice.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/blog.ascendantjustice.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blog.ascendantjustice.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blog.ascendantjustice.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1896"}],"version-history":[{"count":6,"href":"https:\/\/blog.ascendantjustice.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1896\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":2019,"href":"https:\/\/blog.ascendantjustice.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1896\/revisions\/2019"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/blog.ascendantjustice.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1896"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blog.ascendantjustice.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1896"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blog.ascendantjustice.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1896"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
