why should it be called Halo 3: ODST? It is titled like it is a add-on to halo 3, which it is not, plus, The game next year will be Halo: Reach, not Halo 3: Reach and besides Halo 3: ODST will be taking place before halo 3.

Probably because it has Halo: 3 maps included and stuff. Just to establish it as an expansion more than a stand alone game. Even though it's become more of a stand alone game now.

valid point, but seeing as none but yourself gives a crap it's really not that much of even a tiny deal.

I don't see why it can't be called Halo: ODST. I call it that...

This is the third thread I've read about this today.

I don't really care what they call it. They could have called it Halo: The rise of the Fuzzy Unicorns and as long as it looked fun, I'd buy it.

Halo: CE Anniversary Achievement Idea
C-C-C-CANNON BREAKER!
Let Sgt. Johnson die on Halo.

I think it's because it includes the Halo 3 maps and it uses the same engine as Halo 3.

The new one is called Halo: Reach because it's a completely new game, and it will (from the looks of the trailer) be made under a brand new, updated engine.

its only halo 3 because of the engine

Well it is using the Halo 3 multiplayer and the fact it's also using the Halo 3 game engine still.

  • 06.16.2009 9:27 PM PDT

Agreed, but as stated in previous posts in this thread, it has halo 3 map and practially the same MP.

  • 06.16.2009 9:28 PM PDT

It's considered an expansion. So it's not a new game; meaning it will use the name of the original game it's expanding.

I agree... It should just be called Halo: ODST

The whole same game engine arguement is a little ridiculous IMO because Epic used the same engine for UT3 and Gears of War... And it isn't called "Unreal Tournament: Gears of War" or anything... Granted, they're totally different games, but still. Just because the same engine is used doesn't mean it should be labeled as the same game.

ODST is a TOTALLY different experience that Halo 3. Open world campaign, new characters, setting, abilities, etc. and IMO should be labeled as its OWN game within the Halo series, not some add on to a game that is gonna play considerably differently than ODST.

Idk. Just my opinion.

So it should be called Halo: Firefight?

That's like saying Fallout should have 3-4 separate games for each of it's expansions.

EDIT: Not to be mean or anything. An expansion is an expansion

Thank you sir, that was an epic rendition of this topic.


Posted by: Xx KNOX xX
and how!

As everyone should know, it was being developed originally as an expansion pack and instead turned into a project only slightly smaller than a full game.

  • 06.16.2009 9:48 PM PDT

I liked when it was called Halo: Recon, they should've stuck with that.
