First, here is a quick overview:
Developer: Bungie Software
Release: September 22, 2009
Genre: FPS
Platform: X360
Publisher: Microsoft
ODST focuses on their drop into new Mombasa and their search for clues behind the Covenants attack on the city.
Who are the main characters?
Buck, Dutch, Romeo, Mickey, and Dare.
What is the Plot?
The game is set on the 20th October, during the events of Halo 2, in the First Battle of Earth at Mombasa.
A number of pods carrying ODST's appear in the sky over New Mombasa to clear out the remaining Covenant forces in the city. Prophet of Regret's ship opens a Slipspace portal in Earth's atmosphere above the city, this results in an antimatter-matter annihilation accompanied by a physical shockwave and an EMP. The shockwave tears through Mombasa, badly damaging the city. When the EMP reaches the HEV Pods, it destroys their electronics, which prevents them from making a controlled descent, hence they are destroyed on impact with the ground.
At least one HEV Pod enters the airspace above Mombasa after the primary EMP has passed, but it passed through a secondary residual EMP that partially damaged its electronics. Despite this, it still managed to make a pseudo-controlled descent, albeit a rough one; the HEV crashes through the side of a building, knocking its occupant unconscious. As night draws, the lone Marine wakes up, armed only with a submachine gun, and moves forward to secure beacons scattered across the city.
My friend won't get Halo 3: ODST. How will I play with him?!
Don't worry. You can play with players who only have Halo 3. (excluding campaign)
Is Master Chief going to be in it?
Sorry, but no.
I need MORE INFORMATION!
