Subject: New ODST enemy?

Okay i found this in the Bungie Weekly Update from 12/12/08

Damian is working on patrol cycles (think seek and destroy, not vroom vroom) for enemies in the Hub and adding some new behaviors for a foe.

When it says, "adding some new behaviors for a foe." that makes me think that maybe they are putting a new enemy into the game, but then again it could just mean that they are making the AI for the brutes/others smarter.

Any input?

Drink up baby, stay up all night.
With the things you could do, you won't but you might.
The potential you'll be, but you'll never see.
The promises you'll only make.

Yes, but too bad there is not going to be any elite killing in ODST.

Fairness is only possible within the limited powers of man. Elsewhere, there is only chance.

Thus I refute thee.

After listening to the Bungie Podcast, I'm sure (they've said) there is much that's yet to be revealed. I had the feeling that there would be a new enemy too...I thought I caught a hint somewhere...
But I cannot wait for ODST...the storyline is...already...interesting me.

To me it seems like there might be spec-ops, if your going down the idea you have. But what I think is the current covvies will act differently.

They act all big and tough when their on camera with their friends and their guns. But when you break into their house in the middle of the night and stick a gun barrel in their face. They cry like babies and and piss their pants.

Am I the only one who saw the Golden Hunter during the Trailer or was that just lighting effects?

Adding some new behaviors for a foe obviously means they're adding new tactics to old enemies. Things that enemies wouldn't do in Halo 3, but they do now. Something like that.

  • 06.02.2009 8:54 PM PDT

Ummm...

It says "new behavior for a foe".....not "behavior for a new foe".

They could just be improving the AI and battle tactics of the enemies we know, similar to how they improved Brutes in Halo 3 from Halo 2 (i.e. leader abilities with Grunts, the "Brute Pack")

It's been confirmed multiple times that you won't see any Elites in Halo 3: ODST.

And just pointing something out, there was a picture from ODST with something under a phantom. No one could make out what it was cause it was very dark and slightly disorted, but it looked like a very tall, swirvy mechanic thing. Also very bulky.

If anyone saw that screenshot, do me a favor and post a link to it. I can't find it right now, I'm too busy.

Thats why you must save that rocket launcher for him.

Basically, I make the best topics ever.

Feedback!
Duardo: This thread is locked for being stupid.
cortana 5 : It's perpetually my time of the month and I'm just grouchy.
Foman: I see absolutely no reason, either theoretical or practical, that this is not a superb idea. Excellent work, my friend.

The maps are different. They are working on different AI behavior's to patrol the city.

Golden Hunter? Where?

Engineers were supposed to become extinct. I looked it up in my Limited edition Halo 3 bestiary thing. So they're proboly not coming back.

The halo 2 Elites did seem to be more aggressive, making them more satisfying to kill, especallily the sword lunatics!

This pretty much sums it up.
