yes, but are there any forklifts in ODST?

(You killed FlipYap!).
Or was it YapFlip?

Seriously though, I am going to have so much fun playing this when it comes out. Firefight sounds wicked!

No, it wont be. But that's ok.

If you have to get through 50 waves to get the 'master, I think it might be a tad bit rarer than most people thought at first.

There's a word for what I am, but I can't pronounce it.

Looks great guys! There better be a steak dinner emblem. Medium rare.

When in doubt, take a salt tablet.

So you can't use the flash light and equipment anymore? :( At least the VISR kicks ass.

Hey can we change our controls to bumper jumper? I've got pretty used to that and it might take a while to get used to the default layout again...

Good day. I'm an active and fairly enthusiastic member of the Bungie fan-base and pride myself on many qualities. If you want to send me a PM, go right ahead. No I won't spam your inbox with group invites, I will respond in the best way possible. Thank you, and as I had opened, I'll close - good day.

Man, can't wait - if this information was dished out at the same time as the teaser, i would have died. A question was aroused on the ODST forum about whether or not if you went at firefight alone, you would be accompanied by 3 other ODST AI's played by the game, so to speak. Is this true, or is "alone" truly "alone"?

Want to see advanced Halo stats not offered by other Halo stat websites? Check out MetaHalo.com, the stats website I am working on. Reach stats currently in development.

Like BTB? Check out bigteambattle.net!

Wow... I'm going to end up spending a lot of time with firefight. Can't wait for the stat tracking... both here and at Halocharts.

Also, hilarious quote:

True. Now that I think about it having the -blam!- beat out of you with a pool ball in a tube sock by your degenerate pimp is the better choice.

.

Well, if I wasnt excited before I am now! Only thing that makes me a little sad is that it the difficulty doesnt change with less than 4 people. I bet im going to have a very hard time drumming up 4 people, especially for them to stay a while.

This sounds waaaaay better than that CoD gametype that I cannot post due to Godwin's law.

My question is, will there be an emblem similar to the one I have now (not coup'd) just that the Mark VI helmet is replaced by an ODST helmet? I would gladly want to wear that.

Also, did urk say Grunt Birthday Cake was one of the skulls? I kinda lol'ed when I saw it.

I also wonder that. I wont have enough money to buy that for a few more weeks, so I may have to preorder late in July or in August.

Each retailer should know whether or not they have the pre-order bonus to offer. Before you buy, make certain you ask. We'll try to round up the retailers shortly so you can have full confidence that your early commitment nets you the goods you deserve.

I know it's been asked and that it will time andtime again, but any idea which select retailers will be doling out Sgt. Johnson in exchange for pre-ordering? GameStop/EBGames, Walmart, Best Buy, Buy More...?

EDIT: And it gets answered just before I hit submit...

Destiny awaits. And it will be great.

I was quite honestly just going to ask that. I haven't seen any official confirmation of alternate control methods being present in ODST, but I also haven't seen anything that points to the contrary so I'm assuming there will be alternate button/stick layouts.

Official confirmation would be great though, urk. ;)
