Info is nice, but I wish you guys would finally move on. I'm getting sick of thinning my wallet to you. Might not get these...

I was hoping there could be a multiplayer ODST battle ground. If it could be built, it would be cool.

Anyway, I wish your skill won't continue to be wasted on the old topic: Halo. You guys have the stuff, but this is an... overkill? Guess so.

The thing that me and my friends are wondering at the moment is this... O.D.S.Troopers do not have shields.

We now play as an O.D.S.Trooper... Bungie said that its definately going to still be FPS in which all the normal halo stuff stays the same, like an expansion disk... So I wonder how taking damage is going to work... It should be similar gameplay to Halo3... except Without shields... So are we gonna die real easily now that we no longer have the EPIC mark VI mjolnir armour, or the friken chiefs super strengthened bones and skin? Or are bungie gonna make this ODST special and give him an overshield?

You never know... Maybe theres a small background storyline for this ODS Trooper... Your names... uh... Tad... your 11 years old and its christmas... you hear a thumpin' on da roof... ZOMG ITS SAINT CHIEF!! *Red chief drops down the chimney and hands Tad some special ODST armour with shield capabilities... He then says to Tad* "Use this... When you need it" *Before deploying a jump pad and shooting back up the chimney, onto the roof, into his hornet... and away* Now, years later, your using your kick ass 1337 H4x arm0ur 2 Pwn sum alienz. Lalz.

Please note how marines last longer without shields then you with.

But i dont want to wait till next year for the Mythic maps, i want em now!

ha, but seriously i cant wait for the expansion of halo 3, it looks pretty cool now that my Q's are answered. but i'd rather see the bungie team workin on some new transeting game instead of pulling a HOLLYWOOD and just milking all the money out of halo until they ruin its rep.

  • 10.13.2008 8:11 PM PDT

Another Halo game, Thank God =]

and I can appreciate playing as an ODST. You're more bad ass but you got alot more to fear without shields and crazy jumping abilities (not to mention mad melee skills)

I'm just excited to kill Elites again:))

So my question is this, In Halo 3: Recon are we going to be able to take advantage of being able to throw grenades back at whoever / whatever, like in CoD4???

  • 10.14.2008 1:42 AM PDT

it's pretty standard for halo that you have an shield don't you think...
and throw back granades in my opinion are a bad idea :P

My Halo Fan Fiction:

"In Death's Grey Land"
-147 pages

I'm really stoked about this project. I think it has a chance to return to that original Halo feel, and therefore make a big splash in military SF first person shooter history. Bungie, you've got all the balls in your court...so far you haven't dropped a pass.

I'm really hoping this ODST character of yours will have traditional armor and health, but no 'experimental shield system.' Give us a challenge, plus some old-skool gaming nostalgia.

Soo in the trailer it says 'stay right' and 'proceed with caution' as if to help the ODST

Maybe Bungie is doing some Eagle Eye stuff for Recon?

My troll sense is tingling.

My only concern is that, since the gameplay is going to be the same, then how can we survive with no shields? Playing legendary diificulty with no shields would push suicide rates through the roof!

I also want to ask, will you guys be adding aromur? Can I has Batman helmet? (Im aware Bungie probably wont get the rights to do that but its just a joke)

Craziest Rocket Deflection EVER

I'm honestly not all that excited about this. I think it will be fun to play, sure. However, the fact that we won't be able to play as ODST's in multiplayer sort of takes the fun out of it. I know that one could simply just play Team SWAT, but I was really hoping that Bungie would incorporate fall damage and health back into the multiplayer as I presume they will with compaign for Halo 3: Recon.

A new campaign can be fun for a while, but adding to the multiplayer experience is what keeps the interest. New maps will be cool, I'm assuming. However, the old new maps that have been released have not been enough to make me want to break out of Halo rehab.

I will end up picking up Halo 3: Recon, because I am a die-hard Halo fan.

I'm just saying I'm not very excited about it.

I would be more excited about a *cough* Halo movie *cough*

Q. in the vid it shows brutes instead of elites, but if it takes place after the ship jumps inside new mombassa how come we are fighting brutes if technicly we are still batteling elites at that time and the brutes in H2 dont start fighting us till the end?

Why won't you guys make a story line for every armor set? Like Halo 3: Hayabusa and Halo 3: Security or something. Just making some suggestions for me and my friends are discussing and people would love every game given that they were any good but you haven't disapointed me yet so message back if you ever read it.

The maps will be on the marketplace beginning in 2009. Learn how to read.

It's called Recon because you will be on a reconassaince mission.

Once again, the full game will not be on the marketplace simply because it would take 50 hours to download and it would take up more memory than your hard drive can handle. The Mythic Map Pack will be on the marketplace beginning in 2009. Don't whine about it unless you fully understand what is going on.

so can we buy recon or jus get it?.

  • 10.14.2008 7:22 PM PDT

Concentrate on the solution, not the problem.

So do ODSTs have shields, jump like the Chief, etc?
