Subject: False Advertising

i just realised that there is some false advertising on Halo 3 ODST.
If you look at the top right hand corner of the halo 3 ODST game case, it states:
New Hero
New Campaign
New Multiplayer

Game Case

Bungie stated that the multiplayer in ODST will be the same as in halo 3, in fact it WILL be the same, apart from the fact that there will be the 3 new mythic maps.
Now technically you could call FIREFIGHT multiplayer, but these days the term "multiplayer" refers to competitive play while FIREFIGHT mode is co-operative.

What are your thoughts on this? (btw i was going to make a poll but i don't know how =p)

Multiplayer. Lets deconstruct that word.

Multi and Player.

Player is the person playing. Multi implies more than one person. Therefor, Multiplayer means more than one person playing. Therefore, technically... Firefight is Multiplayer.

NO GROUP INVITES!!!

indeed, it's not really false advertising.

Halo 3 MP is just bonus.... Firefight is the "new multiplayer"

No, actually Firefight is multiplayer. Just because there's more than one person doesn't mean they have to be competitive.

It's still wholly possible that there'll be new stuff that hasn't yet been revealed. We'll know more about it as we move through the months, I guess.

if knowledge is power and power corrupts, isn't knowledge therefore dangerous?

If Firefight has matchmaking then that classifies as New Multiplayer.
