Subject: DLC content for ODST

So this might be a bit early, but it is an interesting idea nonetheless.

Halo 3: ODST is a free roaming world within the city streets of New Mombassa. The player can effectively go anywhere within a defined city site that they want. On the way, the players finds items from his squad. This initiates what I see as a "quest" of sorts. You play through the dead squad mates perspective on what they did before they supposedly died.
That's all background, already known information.

What I am proposing.
Could Bungie release DLC that opens up new areas of New Mombassa for the player to explore?
With a DLC like this we could get:
-New weapons
-New armor
-New vehicels
-Possible new enemies

Not so sure about campaign but I can definitely see some DLC potential in Fire Fight mode.

I have no signature... exept for this one...

this is stupid. ODST isn't a free roaming world, it's campaign! Bungie have said that thousands of times and it's incredible that you still can't get it! btw the rest of the odst team isn't dead sheeesh

the game isn't out yet

I like this idea! It would work out good, as you would get new part tot he game, so they could just release a new part every 6 month of something! Work like a new map or something

Are you suggesting that it's impossible for a campaign to be free roaming?
Bungie already said it's going to be sandbox game where you make you own way to bjective in New Mombasa similar to Far Cry. But when you do the flashbacks it plays linear levels similar to past Halo games.

I didn't say there aren't free roaming lvls, i said free roaming WORLD. A campaign isn't a whole world you can walk around in, it's lvls ffs

The only DLC I could see is New maps for multiplayer or Firefight.......... New enemies, vehicles, armor, and weapons won't happen i don't think.

This game is free roaming where have you been you can do whatever you want. YOu can walk around the city as much as you want and set up ambushes and stuff on squads of covies.

Not the dead squad mates part - some may be dead when you find the item, but I'm 90% sure they won't all be dead when you find the item.

And besides, New Mombasa is fully opened from the start. And adding content like weapons and such is impossible without... an expansion pack.

Ahhh! can't believe they took it out of the dictionary ....and NO I'm not coming out of my shell untill you get that THING off my avatar

No, Campaign is the game's story mode. Please look up words before you use them.

Have a look at the ODST Menu.
Does it say Free Roam and Levels or Campaign?

On Topic:
Maybe Firefight maps, but otherwise no.
To release an unfinished game and force us to wait for slow updates to continue the campaign is stupid.

Check Out my FileShare.
I was once on Bungie Faves. (Feb.7-15)
I'd like to know why I can't see the signatures of others of myself on the forum. I have made favs once, 7777 campaign kills, and I helped bring modders down when they were at their strongest

I think it can work nicely. But, Firefight should get new maps, somewhere along the way.

There is an extras feature and they mmight have some new stuff for that.

Bungie explicitly stated before that armor permutation DLC was pretty out-of-the-question,and Since most of Halo is Multiplayer,campaign expansions would be abit misguided.I could definitely see firefight and multiplayer maps being added,however.

No

just wait for Halo Reach to come out for new weapons, vehicles, ect.

  • 06.22.2009 6:00 PM PDT

The only DLC I could see for this game if they even bother, would be Firefight maps.

So you went to the trouble of clicking on my profile, either to send a group invite or hate message, or to check my Halo stats and call me a BK. I like Peanut Butter Waffles.

That would be epic....but it would be copying COD World at War a bit. But, think of all the games that have zombie like creatures in it. So it really isn't copying, but I guess the big COD fans might say it is.

It's good to have some DLC every now and then. Hopefully Bungie have fixed the problem they had with Halo 3, which only allowed them to make maps for DLC. However, what I'm thinking of is just making it so DLC can be added, as in the gaps always there to fill in if they find time, especially if they need time to work on Halo: Reach.

Then you just spin around in their direction and tell them that World War 2 has been done loads of times. Don't get me wrong, I'm a big fan of both game series, and I'm all for everyone having their own opinions, but when people start saying "they ripped off this game" and things like that, it annoys me. If I was making a game and I had the oppertunity to add in a game feature that has already been done before, but if I added it then it would make my game so much better, then I'd just ignore what anyone says and just add it, and not care whether it's been done before or not, and who knows, if I did do that I probably could do a better job at it than the other game did.
