From what I've read, in ODST you cant duel wield, you cant use equipment, and your shields don't recharge. Is this true? Because if it does, it's really gonna suck. And since your not a Spartan, how do you melee someone to death?

Mythical Group

There is no greater catharsis than arguing on the Flood.

You'll be fine. You're just over-reacting. Both the weapons operate so much better than their original counterparts, you'll be thankful that Bungie took these steps.

You have a health and "stamina" system. Basically, a Halo 1 style shield system, with regenerating shield on top, with non-regenerating health when your shields are depleted. As in Halo 1, you'll have to find health packs to regain health.

Correct, no dual wielding. I'm not sure about the equipment, I'm not sure whether bungie has released any official info on that. And you have a sort of shield called stamina which does recharge, but your health doesn't. And I'm sure beatdowns will still be possible :)

Halo? And realistic? DOES NOT COMPUTE. I thought the point of Halo was to be unrealistic?

Are you saying Halo: CE sucked? Because if you are, Id like to offer you a swift kick in the arse so you can be on your way outta here, sir.

I'd like you to read this article, and tell me that Halo 3: ODST isn't exactly what we dedicated Halo fans haven't been waiting on for over 6 years.

it doesnt make sense if a ODST can rip a turret off its holster like a spartan and he cant hold 2 small guns at the same time.

It also doesnt make sense that a Jackal Sniper can kill MC with one shot, yet MC can survive a 6km fall from the heavens down to earth. Its a video game.

Also, we havent seen an ODST rip a turret off in campaign mode yet, only firefight, which doesnt follow the campaign storyline anyway.

Its halo; therefore it will be better than you make it out to be

"Bungie controls everything. You have no rights. Play nice."

For the last time its TURRETS not TORRENTS. A TORRENT is either a peer to peer file sharing protocol or a violently fast stream of water. A TURRET is a self-contained weapons platform housing guns and capable of rotation. And TURRENT isn't even a word.

Its going to be a lot like playing Halo: CE. Single wielding, health packs, no equipment, and you can't jump 8 feet in the air. Its going to be like a Halo: CE update. I'm excited.

KillaGod is my alternate Bungie.net account with my Gamertag linked to that account!

Ty92PrideFireZ is my new alternate account with my new and permanent Gamertag linked to that account.

The ODST doe's not have the same strength and reflxes as a Spartan does.

Don't worry, no problem, if you dualweilded, you would be knocked over by the Backlash effect of a Magnum, then you'll get slammed in the face with a gravity hammer.
And instead of Energy shields, you get stamina. If it gets too low (Red HUD, or whatever) you'll have to either take cover, or rely on your Health and make sure you kill all the enemies with grenades and SMG spam.
You'll beat the enemies to death just like you do normally. It just won't be as powerful, I think.
And when the game comes out, remember.
Keep it clean xD

EDIT: You don't get as much Stamina as Spartans get Energy shields, you'll be more vulnerable.

No, from the start, the point of the whole thing was to merge the two. Making a plausible storyline with arcade style shooting to top it off. The playability is arcade, the game is realistic

It's not gonna suck, it's just playing Halo from a different perspective.
