Subject: New ODST pictures - AR with light and a Combat KNIFE! Also the BR!

For those that didnt believe there would be a combat knife in ODST here you go. I know its a drawing and hasnt been confirmed, but you arent as strong and a knife makes sense.

Knife

BR:

BR

And the AR w/ light: (I know its always had one, but heres to one in ODST!)

AR


There are also some pictures of maps (drawings) that could be firefight maps or just parts of the campaign.. anyways they start at 41 and end at 44.

Check out all the new pics.. I hadnt seen these before!

The Knife is just concept art. Doesn't mean that it made it into the final game. Do you see any giant knives hanging off the ODST's Backs?

Maroon 5 is awesome. Deal with it.

The AR has always had a light on it though.......

yes I understand that.. but they wouldnt show you an actual ODST in the game with a knife unless they wanted us to know for sure it was in the game.. well I found a drawing with Bungie's name on it and a knife in the pic.. plus no beatdowns and its a stealth game.

Also.. anything you see in the actual pics from gameplay doesnt mean it will be in the final game either.. so yeah..

Not really, they are way past the stage in development where they get hindsight and say things like "Maybe the Silenced SMG was a bad idea, lets take it out and hope they don't notice."

They showed us the Brute Plasma Rifle, a whole new mode of play, our squad mates, the basic story... why not show us a flimsy little knife to boot? Its not like it would be some shockingly suprising gameplay addition that they keep secret until the game is about to come out. Also, just because you have a knife doesn't mean that you get any stronger, it might work on the grunts and the jackals, but the Brutes? Not so much. Better to beat them senseless or just shoot them than trying to stab them with a knife.

You cant "beat them senseless".. you are a rookie ODST, not the tank on legs that is Master Chief. No beatdowns.

doesn't the CQB body armor in Halo 3 have a knife? just because it's part of the armor, doesn't mean you will actually get to use it in-game.

  • 06.01.2009 11:46 PM PDT

It worked pretty well when Sarge Forge took on the Arbiter.

Then you certainetly can't stab them senseless either. Why do you think you are getting a silenced powered up SMG? To make up for that fact. There won't be a knife in the game, and that is that.

Your talking like you work at bungie and was the lead designer... HOW DO YOU KNOW THIS???

Just because there is a pic of a knife doesn't mean it'll be in the game look at the CQB armour, could you use that in multi-player?..

Ok if you've read the first halo book you would know that ODSTs are badass looking guys with the strength to boot. So im pretty sure an ODST could beatdown :)

The tip of the sword... That's the place I am at.. In the front of the fighting force.

Here's a point that no one has made yet. Every AR has a light. ODSTs can't use it though because they have an awesome visor that sheds light without having any problems of being detected.

  • 06.01.2009 11:50 PM PDT

Im just going by what they have talked about.. how the ODST are much weaker and it will be a tactical game vs run 'n gun. It is possible you could do beatdowns just not likely.. a knife would make a lot more sense.

Yeah.. agusta made that point.. and I know its alway had a light.. but im just trying to confirm how it will play in the ODST game. Not how it has been in the past.

And what about the map drawings? 41-44??

Who brings a knife to a gun fight?

If you want a knife, use a spiker, its the closest you are going to get. Notice that for all the huge blades on it, the spiker, mauler, or bruteshot only deal an extra 2 damage compared to the normal 70 damage of a melee strike. A knife will do nothing.

A knife will do nothing? So the tactical approach.. you know.. sneaking up on unaware enemies, yeah, in doing that, a knife would serve no purpose? Like cutting an enemies throat from behind? Yeah.. stupid right?

Can't cut through shielding, the grunt's breather is in the way, jackals maybe, hunters no, drones are always flying and can't really be ambushed.

Yeah. Better to break their spines.

You cant cut through shielding but you can shoot/punch through it? REALLY?

The Chief is stronger because of his augmentations. ODSTs are just normal humans.

  • 06.02.2009 12:02 AM PDT

Im just trying to show you pictures you may have not seen. That is all. Please.. stop attempting to make yourself feel important by arguing like you know the secrets of the game. You dont. Im showing you pictures from Bungie. That is all.

It's not a stealth game, it just has more stealth elements than previous Halo games (not saying much). As for the knife, so what if it's there in concept art. Even a render doesn't mean you can use it. It could just be purely aesthetic.
Also, and this has been said, the AR has had a light on it since Combat Evolved. So...

Put a pillow inside of a metal pot. Pretend its a brute. Get a knife from the kitchen and try stabbing it. Works real well, right? No. I think not.

Now smash the pot with a hammer. Would you want to be the one wearing the pot? The force behind the blow is transfered to the wearer of the armor. Shielding simply doesn't "negate" the force.

And as someone else mentioned, he doesn't have super human strength, so you will be silently shooting through their shields with an SMG most likely.
