Halo 3: ODST

Well, bit early but there may as well be a thread, there's bound to be a lot to talk about over the coming months.

Fairly straightforward list (assuming it's legit, which it looks). Couple of corkers in terms of difficultly (some more Vidmaster challenges!).

Looking forward to this, the E3 video was good. Hopefully I'll be sorted enough to play it when it comes out.

As a Halo newb, what will this offer for MP?

I've never really thought much of the Halo games, but the MP side of it does appeal.

Halo 3 is arguably the widest range of MP I've ever seen, even allowing you to edit your own modes and move stuff around on maps that already exist with friends also helping on the same thing, it's very clever. I've done races on quads as well as team and solo deathmatches, CTF etc.. is all there too. It's very good and I regret not playing it more because I have loved it every time.

The Halo franchise really is aided by co-op play and the story is brilliant. Going through Halo 3 in 4-player Co-Op was about the most fun I've ever had playing an MP game so ODST is one of the really MUST own.

You know my beefs with Co-op. Its never hard enough and consoles aren't powerfull enough to calculate all the variables into a challenging game for various amounts of players.

Even on legendary it was a piece of cake with 4 players.

It will have everything Halo 3 does, with 6 ( I think ) new maps, plus 'Firefight' mode (a Horde-a-like if you've played Gears 2).

Sounds good, I'm deffo interested.

So, this is like Halo 3.1?

Daz · 24-06-2009, 20:51

Pretty much yeah. They started off calling it a standalone expansion but they're now saying it's pretty much a title in it's own right, because of extra stuff.

Ergo they can charge another tenner for it

Do you need Halo 3 to play it? I never got round to buying 3, so if I could just get this on it's own it would be win win
