Destiny 2. Help Forums. Hey guys, I'm new to the Halo series, so I need some help with understanding the timeline. I'm currently trying to get all the Halo games except Wars so I can play them in order.
I'm working on getting 2 and 3. My question is, where exactly does ODST fit in the timeline? Comment Reply Start Topic. The VISR can also be used to manage waypoints, mission objectives, and information which will help the player.
Also, the grenade limit has been increased to 3 per grenade type. By December , the game was "representational," meaning that players could experience the game from start to finish, albeit in an unfinished state. The entire Bungie staff was pulled from other duties to play through the game and offer feedback.
Among the unfinished elements was the lack of finished dialogue delivered by voice actors; storywriter Joseph Staten filled in placeholder audio. Due to ODST ' s shift to a new protagonist, O'Donnell created new music that was an homage to Halo , though it was taken in a new direction.
Shown after the Bungie and Microsoft Game Studios logos, and before the main menu, is an opening scroll. Teams of highly-trained "Orbital Drop Shock Troopers" are ready to assault the carrier from Navy ships in low orbit. The game begins at around pm, October 20th, They are grouped around a holo-table, which shows the Covenant Prophet of Regret 's CAS -class assault carrier hovering near the city's Orbital Elevator. The Lance Corporal "Rookie" is asleep in the back of the room. Dutch criticizes Romeo, stating that the navy left the lone ship for the Marines to infiltrate.
While walking to the nearby armory, Buck is stopped by Dare, who remarks that the members of his squad are replacements. Buck acknowledges the problem, but notes that after 27 years of war with the Covenant, very few veterans are left in the UNSC. Conflicted about what she likely told him prior to entering the room, Buck confronts Dare about the objective of his team, stating the Assault Carrier carrying the Prophet of Regret is a more vital concern than her covert mission.
Dare reminds him that they have orders to follow, and that she should be referred to as " Captain ," in keeping with military regulations. Buck directs the Captain to her pod, where Romeo asks about her; obviously angry about the mission, Buck confronts the curious Lance Corporal, replying that she is their "new boss. While en route to his own drop pod, Romeo rudely awakens the Rookie, hitting him with the butt of his rifle at which point the camera changes to a first-person view while the Rookie lies asleep in his pod.
Dutch pushes Romeo out of the way and hands the Rookie a silenced SMG , telling the ODST to relax despite Romeo's obnoxious behavior; the Rookie's pod is then closed, spun around, and lowered into the launch bay to begin drop preparations.
Marine forces are informed by Dare that the Covenant Army is massing beneath the Assault Carrier for an organized retreat. They pass by a few destroyed Frigates in orbit around the elevator, and begin to enter cloud cover above the city. The Captain then orders the squad to adjust their trajectory and drop locations; sending the ODST's way off of their intended course. Dare's commandeered squad, farthest away from the Slipspace rupture, manages to survive the fall, but the remaining ODST's aiming for the Carrier are killed in action.
During the fall, the Rookie's pod collides with Mickey's pod, sending it out of control. The impact knocks the Rookie unconscious. Six hours after the drop pm , the Rookie awakens to the sound of two Phantoms flying nearby. He soon regains his situational awareness, discovering that his drop pod is lodged in a building at least twenty feet off the ground.
With no choice, he jumps out of the pod, and falls to the street, slightly injuring himself when he hits the ground. After combing the area for medical supplies, he heads in to the city to find his squad. Almost immediately after starting out, the Rookie encounters a few Covenant patrols covering a small area.
The Rookie uses his silenced weaponry to eliminate the patrols, after which he is alerted to a ringing data terminal. Upon accessing the terminal, the Rookie is connected to the Superintendent , a second-generation "dumb" AI tasked with maintaining the city's infrastructure. The A.
The Superintendent begins to assist the Rookie, giving him maps, marking notable locations throughout the city, and providing warnings using road signs. As the Rookie travels throughout the city, he finds clues regarding the fate of his squadmates.
Six hours earlier, Buck had landed somewhat safely if uncomfortably and made radio contact with Dare, who told him that she had been trapped in her drop pod. With the assistance of Marines in the area, Buck fought his way to her position. Along the way, he noticed a "family feud" within the Covenant, as many Sangheili were found dead and seemed to have been killed by the Brutes.
By the time Buck got to Dare's pod, she was nowhere to be found. Buck noticed a Huragok , and saw that it was holding Dare's helmet in one of its tentacles. Curious, the alien began to examine Buck. Having mistaken its curiosity for hostility, Romeo sniped the inquisitive alien, inadvertently triggering the bomb mounted on its back. The resulting explosion threw the helmet out of sight, although the Superintendent recorded a video showing where it landed.
Romeo and Buck regrouped, the former stating his belief that Dare was dead. The Rookie later finds the helmet. Meanwhile, Dutch landed in the Uplift Wildlife Reserve, where he led a Warthog charge in an effort to breach Covenant defenses and secure the long-departed carrier's landing zone. Mickey had landed nearby, and stumbled upon retreating Marines from the th.
There, he and Dutch regrouped and found a desperate police officer, who was searching for an explosives expert. Mickey, who had originally hoped to dig in at the rally point and wait for backup, was pressed into service, and he and Dutch headed to the ONI Alpha Site with the police officer in tow.
Dutch and Mickey used explosives to destroy the bridge leading to the base, but the Covenant easily countered by using Phantoms to land troops past the broken bridge. The courtyard was quickly overrun by Covenant forces, prompting the besieged humans to retreat to the structure's interior.
The humans are eventually forced to retreat from the building using a police Pelican. As they fled, they destroyed the base using remotely-detonated explosives, preventing the Covenant from using the structure and it's contained information. There, the four ODSTs used missile pods , heavy machine guns, and rocket launchers to defend the building from Banshees and Phantoms with landing parties.
They were successful in repelling the Covenant assault, but in the process, Romeo was badly wounded by a Brute Chieftain , and their Pelican was damaged and left inoperable. Buck led the group to Kikowani Station, planning to use the tram system to escape the city, stabilizing Romeo with biofoam along the way.
Upon arrival, however, the group discovered that the tram tunnels had been flooded. They proceeded to hijack a Phantom and escape the city, fighting their way past enemy Banshees and even a Scarab in the process.
Along the way, they noticed several CCS-class battlecruisers moving toward the crater left by the Assault Carrier's Slipspace jump. After escaping the city proper, Buck realized where Dare was, and ordered Mickey to turn back and set him down. Meanwhile, the Rookie, having made his way to the Superintendent's Data Center, finds Captain Dare locked in on sub-level nine. The Halo Wars 2 was set in the year and took place during the Reclaimer Saga. This was shortly after the events of Halo 5: Guardians, which was set in the year , and just eight months after the events of its predecessor.
The cutscene where you see Johnson at the end takes place around November 13thth, right before Halo 3 begins on November 17th. With Halo Infinite on the horizon, the timeline will evolve even further. While many of its contemporaries focus solely on the shooting and war elements, Halo stands out for its vast world building.
Word games. What year is Halo 5 set in?
