For honor, for glory... for the Seventh Column.

Ok, so we all know that if you pre-order ODST, then you get Sergeant Johnson in firefight. BUT, wouldn't it be cool to play as a regular marine as well? Maybe Bungie would give us more player models as DLC a few months after launch? My ideas were:

-Regular Marines
-Regular ODSTs

You could leave them with their generic look or customize them with different armor permutations.

What do you guys think?

Or, wouldn't it be even COOLER if we just stopped speculating because the game is fully playable right now and they're just testing for bugs and any possible improvements. They're not looking to create, render, and test a new character model. I say we stick to the speculation of the plot. That's what this game is about anyway. It sucks that kids are paying attention to firefight more than the campaign.

HALO:

its because campaign has already been through the speculation machine, MP on the other hand still has many unknowns

(besides bungie are much tighter on story than on mp)

Yeah, but how many times are you gonna play the campaign? Once just to actually go through it. Maybe another time for the achievements. A third time with your friends. A fourth time to explore New Mombasa. A fifth time just for kicks...

But how much will you play firefight??? Over and over and over again.
Firefight is what's gonna make this game.

Without me, it's just "Aweso".

Variation is always cool, but not the most important part of a game.

  • 06.18.2009 5:31 PM PDT

Yessss !!!

J-H

Well if you watch a firefight video it shows that the different ODSTs in the squad have different armor perms...so probably, yes :)

Yes, ODST has variants of their armor, along with the Sgt. Jonson one.

NO.

I wish everyone would stop making up STUPID ideas for a game that is pretty much complete.

Go make speculations in the Reach forum.

Also some of us don't really want to learn more about the campaign, we want it to be a surprise. Also, each halo game has had a campaign mode, but never something like firefight. Its obviously much different than -blam!- Zombies or Horde, and something a lot of us haven't experienced before.

good point, in Halo 3, multiplayer is pretty much all I do so naturally with ODST, that's all I think I'm gonna do to, they pretty much have told us everything that happens in ODST campaign so that's why people are asking so many questions, because it's unknown, so Your MOM is MC should just hold his fingers before he types things he hasn't thought about.
