seriously, i was excited when i saw the rain in the trailer, It seemed that bungie was going to bring the color blue into a prominent hue in ODST. I liked the idea of a dark, blue cityscape, it helps set halo 3 ODST apart visually from games like GOW and COD. But the fiery red does the opposite, Its too similar to other shooters and fails to bring out some of the utter beauty of what the trailer was.

The Rain also gives a great subtle theme, the street lights, haze, and sound would add to the over all enjoyment of the stealth aspect of the game.

Now i'm not disappointed about ODST, i see a TON of stuff that i cant wait for, but i am very disappointed to see that the rain has been taken out.

This is my signature nub.

Because rain is important.

Wow...go back to playing Gears of War 2 then. He clearly expressed why the rain was important, but I suppose reading more than a few sentences would be difficult for the average GoW fan.

"When life gives you lemons, don't make lemonade. Make life take the lemons back! Get mad! I don't want your damn lemons! What am I supposed to do with these? Demand to see life's manager! Make life rue the day it thought it could give EL1TE SUPR3MACY lemons! Do you know who I am? I'm the man who's gonna burn your house down! With the lemons! I'm gonna get my engineers to invent a combustible lemon that burns your house down!"

At least they took away the rain instead of the game's performance. >.>

Of course not, but it is one of those details that makes a level work,

Think how terrible the level 343 guilty spark would be if it wasnt in a swamp.
Environments and weather seriously helps to set the mood for great levels

If thats why they removed it, then thats fine by me. Seems wierd though that that would be the case, AFTER ALL, there was snow on Assault on the Control room, so i cant believe that rain would be THAT much of a problem

Battle not with monsters,
lest ye become a monster.
And if you gaze into the Abyss...
the Abyss gazes also into you.

Too often we loose sight of life's simple pleasures. Remember, when someone annoys you, it takes 42 muscles in your face to frown, BUT, it only takes 4 muscles to extend your arm and slap that mother-blam!-er upside the head.

OH!

Search bar, and you only saw the beginning of the demo.
There may be rain later on.

It can still rain. Just because it wasn't raining during the demo doesn't mean it won't rain. People don't want to walk around the city in the rain the whole time playing it. That would just get annoying. Perhaps it rains off and on or in certain parts of the city. Think before you post.
