Halo 3: ODST

[Trunks]

Halo 3: ODST's tale focuses on the legendary ODSTs or "Orbital Drop Shock Troopers" as they drop into the ruined city of New Mombasa, looking for clues behind the Covenant's catastrophic attack on the city.

The new campaign chapter predates the events that unfold in "Halo 3" and gives players a new perspective through the eyes of a new hero in the "Halo" universe. New multiplayer maps ensure that the award-winning Xbox LIVE experience of "Halo 3" continues to thrive.

General Features

* All-new campaign content. The "Halo 3: Recon" campaign is an intriguing side story that takes place during the terrifying events leading up to the Master Chief's return to New Mombasa in "Halo 3." Experience the fate of Earth from the brand-new perspective of a special forces ODST (Orbital Drop Shock Trooper), adding a unique outlook and new gameplay elements to the events that unfold in the trilogy's finale. While the feel of this new chapter will greatly resemble that of previous "Halo" experiences, "Halo 3: Recon" will require players to employ more elements of stealth and cunning than ever before.
* A new hero: Prepare to drop. Known for their courage, valor and, at times, insanity, ODSTs are among the fiercest UNSC soldiers, priding themselves on being the first unit deployed into hostile situations. While not as large or supernaturally gifted as their Spartan comrades, these "Hell Jumpers" more than compensate with their ferocious attitudes and unwavering nerve.
* Expanded multiplayer collection. No "Halo" experience would be complete without groundbreaking multiplayer content,* and "Halo 3: Recon" gives fans more of what they love. With exclusive new maps and full Forge options, players will find more multiplayer content than ever before with "Halo 3: Recon."
* Ever-growing community options. Players will continue to enjoy all the great "Halo 3" technological innovations, including Saved Films, screenshots, Campaign Scoring and four-player co-op. All of the new multiplayer maps fully support the Forge editor, offering endless gameplay customization possibilities for fans.

I'll probably pick this game up just because I'm a Halo fan. Although there is no Master Cheif, it's basically a prequel to Halo 3.

Will it do as good or better than Halo 3? Probably not, because Master Cheif isn't in it. I bet it will still reach over 2 million on opening weekend.

I did...I'm about to go look for it lol - I'm not a huge halo fan so I can't say that I look out for the info - I just read them when they catch my attention and sometimes i tend to skip it

[EpsilonX]

so it's called halo 3 ODST instead of halo 3 recon?

that's the stupidest name i've ever heard

[Scott]

It sounds great but I don't care I never even finished Halo 3 because the single player was rubbish.

[Trunks]

I agree single player does need a little improvement. It's kind of plain. The multiplayer is still amazing though.

[GF Eric]

it kinda sucks that they made it ODST from Recon but hey I am a fan of Halo and can't wait to pick this one up at the end of the year.
