We march to the drums of the damned.

I have a question about the expansion, as most of the community has already seen the ODST was holding a new type weapon that non of us have ever seen before so can you shead some light as to what it is and other info about it.

awsome, I didnt like 1 thing. the title. I thought a new creative title was going to be given to the new Bungie game. Other than that, it looks awsome

Yeah, it's kinda meh, but it was no accident. They've been conditioning us to react to that word for the better part of a year. I mentioned the name to one of my more astute friends and the first thing he said was "Ha! They're milking us!" Odd thing to do considering we already love the game. I guess I can't speak for everyone but it feels a little condescending. I'm a fan, not a test subject.

Typically an expansion pack requires you to have a copy of the game being expanded (think World of Warcraft), but this is a stand alone expansion pack, meaning you can buy it on disc and play it even though you've never put Halo 3 into you xbox. It has its own set of achievements as well. enjoy.

We gotta go to the crappy town where I'm the hero.

So does this mean we get to fight Elites again? Although even if we don't, I have no doubt that this will be a game that runs on sheer awesome.

Hi Game.

what the...where did that nade come from?

sounds dissapointing. i was expecting more.

Your saying that there will not be any new weapons or anything added to competitive matchmaking? I was hoping for a little more. The matchmaking experience needs something fresh. You guys should introduce a new weapon similar to the battle rifle to replace the assault rifle. If not, you should do away with the assault rifle altogether. I am excited about the Recon campaign but introducing the ODST's as well as new weapons and balance of maps into matchmaking would be just what fans are craving for. Hopefully you will RECONsider.

After reading through this:
http://halo.wikia.com/wiki/ODSTs

I actually thought of some things that would be great to see in the new game!
- ODSTs suits allow 15 minutes in space (a pod maybe gets hit by something, and the character has to survive 15 minutes or less in space before he is retrieved)
- An insertion level, where you actually "SEE" the insertion, from inside the pod, "experience" the heat from breaking the athmosphere and other stuff.
- Their suits has heating and cooling systems to mask the infrared signature of the wearer (this could be utillized in a mission where enemies might be using infrared vision)
- Tensions between ODSTs and Spartans (as we know that Johh-117 had an encounter with four ODSTs in a gym, where he killed two and injured two)
- Combat knife for close combat and silent kills (In Halo 2 you can see a Combat Knife on the back of an ODST)

Anyone with thoughts on thos?

-WHO DARES WINS-

Autumn 2009? can't you guys, oh i don't know, release it early? a year is to LONG!

  • 10.12.2008 6:48 AM PDT

-WHO DARES WINS-

But i think what would make the game better is being able to cover and blind fire, like in 'Gears of War' and 'Tom Clancy's Rainbow Six Vegas'.
That has got to be a standard in all FPS games now.

What would also be awesome is having weapon upgrades like in 'CoD4' and, again, 'Tom Clancy's Rainbow Six Vegas', that would be sweet.

But Bungie, please, please, PLEASE, put in the ability to cover and blind fire, that could of made 'Halo 3' SO much better... maybe even better than 'Portal', and that is saying something!
