I am not interested in joining your group.

Personally, I feel happy that Bungie is sticking with Halo 3 only, and not creating a multiplayer component for ODST. The reason for this is:

So far, each Halo title has had shields. Now they have gone beyond that, and taken it away, entirely changing the gameplay. Online would be similar to the Call of Duty series, of any other game without shields. Also, with the addition of an extra grenade, (3 total now), it would heaven for nade spammers. Truly, I think this game is a campaign game only, or AI combat only (seeing as they added Firefight, that I am not against).

Well, other then the regular Halo 3 multiplayer, yes.

I agree 100%. Also, since they never had to develop a new matchmaking system, it gave them THAT much more time to develop the Campaign. It was a good call by them. Also, this can boost the activity in Halo 3 even more.

No -blam!-, it's for immersion. The point of ODST is to expand upon the series' already magnificent story, that's the basic fact of this. Multiplayer wouldn't work, not because it's like CoD4, which is a retarded reason to not have multiplayer, but simply because it would be too problematic in comparison to Campaign.

That's true. Just because it's like CoD4, that's no reason to not have it, but I'm glad that they aren't going to have it.

This is good logic also.

Every time you say something is old your dick shrinks.

i just kinda wish i could use that pistol in halo3....

im kinda sad there is no multiplayer in ODST other than figherfight. I can really see the ODSTs being more fun to play with online. And who really needs the shield? Your logic is because there is no regenerating shield it would be a bad game. I think the COD games personally are great games. I would also like to see the new magnum and SMG in play online. While I know the campaign for this game will be amazing along with firefight, I believe a Multiplayer would also have been awesome. But maybe REACH will have a new multiplayer system so i can always wait for that!

No.

Because there is no "regenerating shield" it would take away from what players have expected from a Halo game. I'm not saying it would make it a bad game, heck, I would like to see a multiplayer, it just wouldn't be the same. I wouldn't feel the "Halo experience".

There is an idea of a Ygidorp, some kind of abstraction, but there is no real me, only an entity, something illusory, and though I can hide my cold gaze and you can shake my hand and feel flesh gripping you and maybe you can even sense our lifestyles are probably comparable: I simply am not there.

True, ODST looks so sick, just watched the trailer. Without a new MM Bungie could concentrate on making an amazing campaign.

It would be nice to see a new design for the multilayer although, such as like changing styles of the matchmaking pages or something.

That's the main reason why there isn't a stand-alone multiplayer component for ODST, in my mind. To include the Silenced SMG, Automag, or Brute Plasma Rifle would drastically change the weapon balance for Halo 3's gameplay. The Automag is essentially an even more overpowered BR.

Halo 3's multiplayer is near perfect. It's an excellent call to focus on campaign and co-op for ODST.
