" I will seek vengeance upon those who have betrayed my family, and uncover a conspiracy bigger that I could have imagined. I am Ezio Auditore di Firenze. I am an Assassin"

I heard around that ODST Firefight will have Customizeable ODST's but I watched a gameplay walkthrough on IGN that said that you will be playing as either Mickey, Dutch, Romeo, etc. Basiclly the whole cast of ODST. Could someone please clear this up?


Will we have customizeable armor like different Chest, shoulders, and head

or

Will you be just playing as a preset character like Super Smash but more non kid friendly?



Also if it's true does that mean that you will spawn with certain weapons all the time? Like is it possible to have two Dutchs on a team? Would you have to stick to that person's speciality weapon all the time? Rockets aren't so good a fight.

Self-proclaimed genius.
Roam the streets with a sign, "will love for false hope."

I believe that you select a base character to play as, Gears of War style, but can customize that character to be unique for you?

You better close this sig when your done.

I know for a fact that you can change the emblem on their chest.

We'll have to wait and find out. I know emblems are interchangable, but armour seems a bit iffy if you ask me.

Vancouver BC, Canada.

Me too, but it'll all make sense in a couple of months.

Yeah for me, armor isnt a big deal, the ODST squad has a good selection of variations.

You can change the charcter, service tag, emblem (colors), secondary colours and even take the helmet off.

Can you post a link of one of these videos so I can see if you are correct or are mistaking it or Sgt. AJ Johnson?

Four shots, four kills, reload, repeat. This is the work of a sniper.

The reason you thought it was where you select a character is because that was how they set it up in the demo. But in the real game, you can customize armor, color, emblem, and service tag. You may have to pick out a base person, but then you will be able to change them in all those ways. I think they will just give you a default player, like in halo 3, with rookie armor, and then you can customize him to your liking.

You might be right.
I think choosing the base player would be for what they say during battle, if anything at all. Perhaps death noises?

I don't have the video link, but I can say that I have also seen it. You can take your helmet off. It was not Johnson.

no, in the demo they used the main characters just for ease of reference to his character. so he could say "oh, i'm playing as dutch/mickey/romeo" in the real game you'll customize everything like halo 3, shoulder pads, chest peice and helmet, as well as colors
