I know this has probably already been answered - but then again I was in Fiji at that time.

So just a question - Will there DEFINITELY be multi-player in Halo 3: ODST and if so how will it be set up. For example:

1. Will there be new game types?
2. Same system/server as Halo 3 multi-player
3. Will, if it is on the same server as Halo 3 - there be increased lag and ping on matchmaking, custom games etc.

Those are my questions, if someone is nice enough to enlighten me on the events that have been going on since I went on long-term service leave - thank-you.
A lot!

Here's how it works:
ODST ships with 2 discs
First disc contains the ODST campaign, Firefight Mode, Theatre.
Second disc contains original Halo 3 multiplayer with all the maps, Custom games, Forge.

Halo 3 ODST comes with Halo 3's multiplayer. It does NOT have it's own multiplayer.

Gee, thanks you guys - but that doesn't directly answer my question.
IT IS linked to Halo 3's multi-player so.... Will it cause lag/latency/red ping etc?

  • 06.07.2009 3:50 PM PDT

I chose the last option.

I know your a dick - so get used to it Wolverfrog

By the way, you used the wrong "Your", it's "You're" Einstein.

But seriously, how could you ask if ODST has Match Making? It states clearly in the FAQ that it doesn't.

It was on purpose!!! That whole bloody answer is for humour

Purposely or not, the grammar is still wrong.

Yes, both are compatible with each other. For example, if I'm playing on ODST's Multiplayer disk and my friend is on the standard Halo 3 disk we can still play Matchmaking and Custom Games together.

Also you said it was linked to Halo 3's multi-player.
Doesn't that mean it might cause some extra lag/latency/high ping levels?

Sorry about double post edit button stuffed - lol

I swear to DRUNK, I'm not GOD!

Alright, usually I'm not this disrespectful, but you're an IDIOT if you're going to pay $60 for the demo version of a game you know almost nothing about, and have no intention of enjoying the game itself that you're actually buying.

Yes, that probably means I'm calling everyone who bought Crackdown an idiot (lol) which I personally think is a pretty awesome game.
