I'm a teacher that plays Halo. What of it?

Orbital looks like Pillar of Autumn. I hope there's more open space and it doesn't end up playing like Elongation all the time.

Did anyone else notice the Epitaph hologram by the gravity lift in that?

Actually it's just a silly easter egg I dropped in there for fun.
I know what it is now.

Not when the URL mentions it as Orbital.

Thanks Bungie for the awesome Orbital preview and everything else. Merry Christmas, or if some of you are Jewish, happy Hanukkah!

Winsauce, check. Bungie, check. Kickass, check. Everything checks out.

Orbital: Awesome
ODST: Awesomer

ODST is doing so well, hell it may be less time than expected. Mid summer 09 anyone?

I was thinking the same thing. That just looks more like a Campaign level than a new map...umm yea does that make sense to anyone else...no?

MAP...INFORMATION...NNNNOOOOOOOOOOOOWWWWWWWWWWWWW!!!!...this wasn't even an update for H3:ODST...just random crap

Stop arguing over imaginary -blam!-. May as well argue over Santa Claus. There will never be proof that there is/was a god - and before people start saying "HERP DERP PROVE THERE WASN'T ONE ROFLOLOL" well, you are the people who made it up in the first place so we know there isn't one
What created the big bang then? A coalition of genetically modified TR-909s with extra distortion?

That map looks VERY GOOD thank you for makeing a good level.

They told us about ODST. It is now playable, and, barring a few tweaks, is almost finalised. The team also played it this week. If that isn't an update on the progress of Halo 3:ODST, then I don't know what is. If you actually read through the update, and didn't just see one picture and some writing and think "One stinking picture and some text. That's nothing for us to advance on", then you may as well not bother reading it at all.

If Bungie released every possible detail about the maps, you would still ask "how far between the BR and the Mauler?" or "Will this door open and close for me as I approach it?". The point of a surprise is to not let anybody find out about it. Just wait your time, a couple more pictures will be released, and then play the first three Mythic maps when Halo Wars comes out, and then the rest of the maps when the map pack is released. Until then, give the guys some rest.
