I think he means in ODST, on the second disc, I hear the second disc is halo 3 without campaign and just has all DLC maps plus the original.

Which online Multiplayer do you mean? In Firefight, the Co-Op Multiplayer similar to GoW2's "Horde Mode" you will play as ODST's.

On the second disk is the Halo 3 Multiplayer, which is IDENTICAL to the Multiplayer we have now. You will not be able to play as ODST's in that.

Wow...so Bungie and Microsoft are just ripping us off and making us buy the same game again technically but just give us 3 new maps...

Essentially, yes. If you don't have Halo 3, it's a great deal, since you get ALL the Map Packs and the Multiplayer, and hence the selling price can be justified there. For anyone who already has Halo 3, and let's face it, that's going to be 95% of people that buy ODST, it's kind of a rip off.

Disgruntled people are using this thread to express their unhappiness.

probably because the mutliplayer has tons of features, and im pretty sure it includes forge and theater. This way the console can focus primarily on the multiplayer, and other features while the other disc can focus on the campaign and firefight modes.

  • 06.08.2009 1:16 AM PDT

Just send me a FR if you want to play.

I play any playlist, and most customs, unless your version of infection sucks.

This thread nearly reduced me to tears.

I still don't see how "u" is functional except maybe when texting on a non-QWERTY phone keypad.

If only this game was on the PS3, then it would only be one disc.

Why don't you level 50's out there, when you finally decide to apply for colleges...why don't you put that you were a level 50 on your application. And put it on your job resume, too. See how much it matters, and how much people care.

and on a terrible system, with terrible technology that is already being replaced ( blu-ray, being replaced by digital distrobution, and possibly holographic optical media. not to mention the new optical media in development that can hold over 1000gb of data) and a controller terrible for FPS games.

anyway to answer the OPs question


there are 2 disks in ODST.

Disk One will have The single player campaign, Co-op Campaign and Firefight. all of which you play as an ODST

Disk Two will be nothing more than the Halo 3 Multiplayer including all maps and 3 new ones. It is litterally the exact same multiplayer. and you will be playing with people who are playing on the Halo 3 disk and people playing on the second disk in ODST,
you will only play as a spartan in disk two



so yes there is online multiplayer were you play as an ODST
and NO there is no competitive multiplayer were you play as an ODST

  • 06.08.2009 1:46 AM PDT

the only feature besides campaign you play as a ODST is in firefight. No ODST matchmaking.

  • 06.08.2009 2:19 AM PDT

people get so angry about the multiplayer not being something totally new.
you guys are missing the fact that this is basically an expansion for Halo 3 hence the name Halo 3: ODST, its not a whole new game. i dont understand what Bungie has to do to chisel through your thick ass skulls and make you realize that.
just wait another year after ODST comes out and we will have Reach... A BRAND NEW GAME OMGZ!!!!!111!!

Does anyone even read these?

Playing as an ODST in multiplayer would certainly be interesting and a fun change of gameplay. But ofcourse Halo 3: ODST is merely a campaign expansion and shouldn't feature a new multiplayer gameplay.

  • 06.08.2009 2:33 AM PDT

i have made my spartan look like an odst as best i can with the helmet, EVA shoulders and CQB body.

They aren't releasing the game because of the 3 new maps dumbass, it's a campaign extension.
