Now that I think about it, most of the Rookie's attempt to find his squad was him just fucking around with random items, and we the player just get magically transported to the other squad member's positions. He doesn't actually know a damn thing about how to find them until the Superintendent lures him close enough to hear Dare's broadcast, and from there she basically leads him to the others. Thing is, playing the game, even multiple times, you get the impression that the Rookie is some kind of super-sleuth the way he's able to track these breadcrumbs. Just showing the Rookie's day is a complete reinterpretation of the events.

This is actually what happened but without the inappropriate stuff

“You like traps buck”. That’s is the funniest thing I’ve heard all day. Keep doing what your doing man.

[@wilhelmferdinandiii7430]

This is legit one of my most favorite videos of all time! Seriously great job man

[@queenofvermin]

New canon: the rookie just never turned his mic on

[@AtraksTheFallenExo]

It was when Romeo hit my it broke

[@mboz_2108]

this is the most underrated video of all time

[@CoolausdtinDT]

Thanks homie.

[@saracrysis2851]

Coolausdtin DT You deserve views, homie

[@justacrusadr]

Man rookie talking is so funny because even in war he looks so relaxed and calm

[@CoolausdtinDT]

He could just be desensitized by everything that happened during it.

[@justacrusadr]

@@CoolausdtinDT hmmmm makes sense

[@funnymanatwork]

man I totally forgot how good the music was in this game, it made for such a good atmosphere. Hell I think it even won an award, which is impressive for just dlc.

[@chanhjohnnguyen1867]

14:55 the traps line has me in hysterics

[@TheTeletrap]

I like to think Rookie just had his coms muted the entire time because Buck ordered Romeo to go radio silent.

“As man I can’t wait to get started on my first mission as an ODST. This is gonna be so awesome” - 2:09 Little did he know

[@Omega_9726]

According to halo lore, not rookies first mission. He had 5 years service prior to the game, and is called rookie because he is the newest replacement.

[@Concerned_Custodian]

For a blank slate character he sure does have a lot of personality in these scenes.

“Time to listen to some toons” favorite line

[@thompson3276]

What is that song lol. I know it’s crazy but where can I find it

[@SJthehero27]

Motopilot I think the song is a mix of Crazy by Gnarls Barkley and Unknown from M.E from Sonic Adventure 1, at least that’s what I think it is anyway. It sounds really awesome!

[@jaxd109]

Why Rookie didn’t have a voice actor is beyond me, even Master Chief had a voice actor way back in 2001

[@CoolausdtinDT]

They didn't give him a voice because Bungie wanted to make it feel more like you were who you played as.
