No, you obviously don't understand Xbox LIVE.

It means you get the three new maps from the ODST game, then play them in Halo 3

I think it means that it will include Halo 3's multiplayer component with all maps on a separate disc.

You both are extremely wrong.

Halo ODST is an expanision to Halo 3. Which means it has its own campaign but still plays the same MM that we currently play. It just bring all the maps that are currently out and the rest of the mythic maps


Meaning someone who has ODST can go online with the ODST cd and play with someone playing on Halo 3

Wrong, you need Halo 3's disc to play multi-player match making (for Halo 3)

Halo 3: ODST has a new gametype, called "Firefight", sorda like "Horde" from GoW2, a survival mode.

That's pretty much the only multi-player outside of campaign you will get for Halo 3: ODST.

Noobs can't handle AR/Pistol Spawns.

It will be the same as Halo 3s multiplayer. It will be getting Firefight though. New add on to the game.

Actually, he is right except that Halo 3: ODST comes with a second disc featuring the multiplayer component from Halo 3 with all maps from Halo 3 including the DLC map packs and the three new maps from Halo 3: ODST all of which will be playable without having Halo 3.

No, You don't understand Xbox live. Someone playing an ODST disc can play against someone on a normal Halo 3 disc. This is because ODST is basically the exact same disc as Halo 3, only they've taken out certain things (campaign) and replaced them with other things (other campaign)

No, I'm pretty sure (Not 100%) that Halo 3: ODST comes with all the maps, as a bonus feature for Halo 3. I'm almost certain there is no Match making in Halo 3: ODST.

It's called an EXPANSION. It expands the campaign, and has an extra mode ; "Firefight".

It's not called Halo 3 + The expansion. It's just the expansion. If you want the Match making goodness that is Halo 3, you'll have to buy Halo 3.

  • 06.02.2009 9:59 AM PDT

Sorry Pokey Clyde, but you're wrong. You CAN play Halo 3 Matchmaking using the ODST disc, and you will be able to play it with other people who are using the "normal" Halo 3 disc. Both discs will take you to the same Matchmaking.

As for the maps, I think there will simply be a code to download them. As far as I know, there wont be Custom Games and Forge in ODST, so will you have to use the Halo 3 disc to play Custom Games and find the 3 last Mythic Skulls? Or will there be Forge and Custom Games straight from Halo 3 included with ODST?

But you know what, I hope you guys are right, because I won't have a copy of Halo 3 when I go to college.

Just to prove me wrong, can any of you link me to where it says, Halo 3 : ODST will have Halo 3's match making? That would be great. Until then, I'm just going to have to assume you are all wrong, mis-informed.

Edit: The post above this one, does not count. Just because Halo 3 : ODST is on a standalone disc, does not mean you don't need Halo 3. I need confirmation from a trustable article, (like a game magazine) or a Bungie employee.

Just go to the link I provided(or just read it since it is taken from that page which is official).

Hey Pokey, You should read BWU more often. It would save you the trouble of us proving you wrong.

Posted by: POKEY CLYDE]I do hope all of you are interpretting this correctly. But I'm still on the edge. "all packed in and playable from one standalone disc." Read.

  • 06.02.2009 10:12 AM PDT

Pokey, it was mentioned in a Bungie Weekly Update, though I'm unsure which one. We're not saying all this based on speculation or "hints"....Bungie themselves stated this is how it would work....with both discs taking you to the Halo 3 Matchmaking we're all familiar with.

Let's just wait and see, okay? I'll be over-joyed if that is true. But you have to leave room for doubt. Or else, you might wind yourself up for a tumble.

  • 06.02.2009 10:17 AM PDT

I think new armour should be brought in for multiiplayer, And question, It says 'you play the teammate in a flashback', does this mean we play as Dare, the Recon Helmet ODST ?

No pokey, Litez is correct.

http://www.bungie.net/projects/odst/features.aspx#multiplayer
This says that all the new maps are playable from ONE standalone disk, IE the ODST disk.

Mysten asks:
Can we get a better explanation of how the multiplayer experience (maps) is going to work in Halo 3: Recon? Alot of us are still confused about that.

Halo 3: Recon will be on its own disc. The rest of the multiplayer aspects related to that product will work seamlessly with your existing Halo 3 experience.
