When I watched the IGN ODST demo, I spotted a quick glance of the main menu. I saw only Campaign, Firefight, Theater, and Extras. Wait. No custom games?!

In my opinion, Halo 3's custom games is the most fun it has to offer. With or without XBL, custom games is always a fun place where you and your friends can mess around and have fun without the stress of beating a campaign mission, or winning this match, etc.

Why ODST wouldn't have custom games: I don't know. With all its new stealthy weapons and vehicles (not yet announced), I'd love to play some sort of stealth game with friends in customs. Without custom games, ODST won't be as popular as Halo 3 is or even be close. I mean, if you go into matchmaking, at least 1 person will always have like 3,035 custom matches and like 72 XBL matches.

Halo 3: ODST will be an amazing game. With it's new weapons and vehicles (+ lets not forget Firefight), it's going to be a huge step ahead for Bungie. Why not make it ten times better and add custom game? Without it, I think ODST will be one of those games where you beat campaign, play like 10 matches of Firefight overall, and than: BAM! Back to Halo 3.

If that menu isn't complete and ODST WILL have custom games, please inform me. If not, Bungie, please consider it. (:

Armor Lock isn't overpowered. You just suck at Reach :)

Reach isn't bad, you're just a BK :)

For my gamertag, look up "Ghoulishtie"

ODST only changes the campain and co-op.

It will support Halo 3's multiplayer, but will not change the gameplay for multiplayer.


Also, i've been seeing stuff about 2 disc set, so that might be the case of no custom game option on the menu.

When Halo 3: ODST was at E3 2009 bungie made a special editon of ODST for E3. They did not showcase the whole game there. (Notice when he was showing the campaign he, was at the ONI site in a matter of seconds, while in the real version you will have to walk the whole way.) Same thing with their booth. The certain disc there only featured the Firefight mode, that way the whole game wouldn't be spoiled. Although Bungie did not state that there would be Multiplayer for ODST, they did however announced the Firefight mode. ~ Xp HaRdCoRe Xp

That demo was only showing the first disc,the second one is the one that has all the maps on it so I'd assume that since it's the same multiplayer from Halo 3,it will also have customs on it too.

But wait. Bungie recently said in their update that the second disk is multiplayer exclusively. Hmm...I see your side, though. I'm hoping for your idea, but unless Bungie comments on this answers my question, I'll be torn between both theorys.

Im lovinnnn it. But if there is a second disc for maps then I doubt there will be multilayer for ODST.

Dark Spartan, if you read the weekly update, than you'd know that the second disk has an exact replica of Halo 3's matchmaking system that you're playing right now. It also comes with the 3 new maps, Heretic, Longshore, and Citadel.

The real question is: will the second or first disk have custom games and/or forge?

OOOO look what I found while searching the forums?

Quote from a noble member:

"Normal Edition. (Reach Beta Invite, Sgt. Johnson in firefight, Halo 3:ODST game disc (campaign and Firefight), Halo 3 Multiplayer Disc (all 24 maps, theater, and Forge))
LE gets you a special edition wireless Halo 3:ODST Controller and some extra plastic"

So if there is Forge, there must be Custom Games. Problem solved?

but why for ODST when everyone is already on Halo 3? I'm sure people would not switch over to ODST when Halo 3 is still going strong. Plus, if there was multilayer, it would have been already announced by now.

They wouldn't have to. ODST has no multiplayer where everyone is an ODST with silenced SMG's. That has been confirmed.

Yet, it will have a seperate disk that has an exact replica of the current Halo 3 multiplayer. So, for example, if you were playing Halo 3 matchmaking via Halo 3, I could still play matchmaking with you if I was playing it via Halo 3: ODST disk 2. Get it? Good.

Aparently, the second disk will also have some other stuff on it as well. (which I said above in a recent post.)

I really see the second disc being like the map pack disc for halo 2. Just has the maps and some videos and content to check out.

But with Halo 3 matchmaking, of course. :D

  • 06.11.2009 11:02 PM PDT

Dude. There is forge. There is custom games. Disc 2. /thread

  • 06.11.2009 11:05 PM PDT

僕を判断しないでください。

the 2nd disc will have everything from halo3 except for the campaign. it will also include all maps.

also, as previously stated: you can play with people who are using the halo3 disc through this disc. halo3 co-op campaign not included.

Know what would really be fun, G?
I don’t wish to nag
But remake Coag,

The second disc has Halo 3 multiplayer.

I still don't think there is ODST multiplayer. It would have been announced already.

Ok, dude. For the 3rd time: Halo 3: ODST does not have its own multiplayer. It does, however, have Halo 3's exact multiplayer that you can currently experience with Halo 3's matchmaking system.

The second disk includes everything Halo 3 has today (ex. Forge, Custom Games, Theater, and Matchmaking) except Campaign and Firefight. They are on the first disk.

Hopefully the 3rd times the charm... >.>

I know that but people are still saying in different places odst might have a multiplayer. Plus, if the second disc is going to be like halo 3 multiplayer disc...who cares. it wont be any different.

I know... that was kinda the jist of this thread.

My last question is: In custom games and forge, are you going to be all ODST like with your silenced weapons and ODST armor, or are you going to be boring ol' Master Chief again?

This question is the key to life itself. :)

To Ace: You quoted me, lol. One correction there, Disc One will have Theater as well. That slipped my mind when I typed that earlier.
Also, I guess the third time wasn't the charm.

Back to darkie. Look, man, there is NO ODST MULTI-PLAYER. At least not in the sense you are thinking. There is no place saying that ODST will have a separate multi-player element than Halo 3. It is, after all, an expansion pack. The current (meaning the one you play with Spartans or Elites) multi-player will be included in Halo 3:ODST as a separate disk that includes everything on the Halo 3 disc except the Campaign and includes all maps made for halo 3. There is no, and I repeat NO, multi-player in Halo 3 ODST that has the players playing as ODSTs. There is however a new coop mode called Firefight that you play as ODST's in. So...once again, for clarity's sake, there is no multi-player mode in Halo:3 ODST where you play as ODST's. The Multiplayer component will remain the same as it is in Halo 3.

EDIT: TO Ace again. You cannot play as ODST's in custom games in Multi-player either.

Check Out my FileShare.
I was once on Bungie Faves. (Feb.7-15)
I'd like to know why I can't see the signatures of others of myself on the forum. I have made favs once, 7777 campaign kills, and I helped bring modders down when they were at their strongest

Holy Crap!!!!

Are you guys yet again confused on the whole disc issue?


When you buy ODST you will get 2 discs.


Okay I am going to make it easy:
Disc One :
Halo 3 ODST Campaign (this is the new campaign that doesn't star the MC),
Firefight (this is where your ass will be kicked),
Theater (you can watch your ass get kicked in this mode),
and Extras (this is where you gain access to Halo Reach's beta and various other things)
Also Included
*The ability to get Recon Armor (little kids out there I know you are going to love this as it will be a requirement in your little fake clans, that are super 1337 and MLG when they actually aren't)
*Halo Reach Beta (OMFGOMFGOMFGOMFG)
*Various other Extras that will fall into the Extras menu

Disc 2:
Matchmaking (where people boost and complain about lag)
Custom Games (where people can make and play modified versions of various Halo 3 maps and gametypes)
Forge (where people can modify Halo 3 Maps)
Theater (where you can watch your ass get kicked)

Also Included
*Heroic DLC
*Legendary DLC
*Mythic DLC
* AND More Mythic DLC
