No elites... -blam!-.
Well anyway, there's ONE PROBLEM!
If we think the ODST Trailer, and it's canonical, meaning the game happens same time (or starts anyway) as the trailer, the game's on October 20-21... how did the Elites vanish from New Mombasa in less than 24 hours? And why are not the elites in game? That was not answered really... sure the lore thing but why they're not in? You don't have time to make agressive AI for them? Why?
EDIT, really, CLARIFY the timeline even more in future BWUs, like Halo 3 dates, and all sorts of little stuff... that'd be nice.

EDIT Good update though the news were bad and disapointting in a way. I like the elites but also fighting them. Brutes were FAR TOO EASY enemies in Halo 3... (Even on legendary, though that difficulty is just frustrating, not challengin nor fun)
Make the Brutes good, hard enemies in ODST really.
Even though l was dissappointed in halo 3 about the whole elite thing, l think they go well in new mombasa. And no, l could not understand your text above.

Typical Halo nerd. Move along.

That had to be one of the best updates I've read in a while. You literally painted a picture in my head when you were talking about the city and night sky. Credits all around!

Our destiny is not frightful because it is unreal, it is frightful because it is irreversible and iron-clad. Time is the substance I am made of. Time is a river which sweeps me along, but I am the river. It is a tiger which destroys me, but I am the tiger. It is a fire which consumes me, but I am the fire.

Hey Shishka, how much for the truck?

Why quote if dont understand?
Anyway, found a "mistake" (if it's Bungie made, is it a mistake?

October 20: New Mombasa, Kenya is destroyed by the Slipstream Space Rupture Backlash from the Prophet of Regret’s ship.

Kenya is destroyed? I think it should be "Kenya, New Mombasa is...."
After all, Kenya didn't look burned and destroyed in Halo 3.

No real pic of sandbox = me not caring
We should get one within two or three more updates.
It's the 21st of january we are about 2 weeks away from the realease of halo wars Demo, and over a month from the actual game.



fix'd. but Microsoft have nothing to do with the showing of the maps.

More than 2 weeks. Halo Wars comes out in Japan on February 26, so that gives us a month.

Can't we all agree that Halo3 had a very bad campaign.

I actually haven't decided on a price yet. It's not that I'm still trying to sell my truck so much as I'm still planning on it.

One thing I was really disappointed about in Halo 3 was not fighting against Elites, and what involvement they had was too little. I was hoping ODST would bring them back. Disappointed again. I guess we'll see how it goes when it comes out.

I find the packaging of the 3 maps with Halo Wars to be pretty tacky. I won't be buying it Especially forcing it into the $80 set that nobody would buy otherwise. I understand the developer usually has limited say in this, especially with a developer like Microsoft, but a customer has a voice and I will be directly expressing my displeasure with this by not buying it.

May I ask, what type of truck? Are you allowed to say it?
