I just mentioned on the Reach forums that I got to see Joe Staten announce the new game live, but he also did a gameplay demonstration of ODST. It was one of my highlights of the presentation. We got to see the Rookie do the full drop from the spaceship into Earth's atmosphere. Being a big fan of Halo's story it was awesome to know what was about to happen. Watching the drop pods try to land on the Covenant carrier before it made its jump to slipspace in the atmosphere was great. With the giant screen and the pounding sound made it feel a little bit like a roller coaster. I've had that feeling very few times watching movies in the theater, but never on a video game. ODST was an intense presentation and I am super excited, especially for Firefight mode. Joe didn't talk about it there but we now know much more. I can't wait to get my friends and play co-op against the computer. Horde mode was always so much fun with people I know, but all my friends like Halo better. I can't wait!
