I have lots of questions I need to be answered for ODST.

Can you buy Halo 3: ODST without the bonus disk?
Can you play Forge, Theatre or Custom Games on the Bonus Disk?
Will you have tostart again with your ranks? (As in, if you're a Lieutenant on Halo 3, will you have to start again?)
Will you have access to your File Share on the Bonus Disk?
Will the maps be free if you have the code that is included with the game?
If you don't get the game, could you still download the maps from the Marketplace?
Will the ODST Campaign be long? (Not very important!)
Will there be new armour included with ODST?
If you don't pre-order ODST, will there be a way of playing as Sgt. Johnson in Firefight?
Will Firefight be ever-lasting?

I need all of those questions answered!

1. You have to buy the 2nd disk. It isn't really a bonus disk.
2. Forge, Theater, Custom Games, and Matchmaking are only on the 2nd disk.
3. Your rank is on your gamertag. Not your disk. So you don't get a rank reset.
4. File Share is also on your gamertag and not your disk.
5. Code is not included with the game. The 2nd disk has every Halo 3 maps plus the unreleased ones on the disk itself. No need to download anything.
6. It is unknown when (if even) the maps will be released on the Marketplace.
7. ODST campaign is project to be anywhere from 4-7 hours long. But it is an open world game so you can basically take upwards of forever to play it.
8. No new armor. Bungie has stated that it is impossible to do this.
9. No, you must preorder to play as Johnson in Firefight.
10. Yes, Firefight last forever. There is 5 waves per round, 3 rounds per set. Unlimited sets.

Actually, it only goes up to round 99, but who's gonna get there?!?!

Okay, say I went to ASDA and bought Halo 3: ODST, i would find:

Disk 1:
-ODST Campaign
-Firefight
-Theatre
-Extras (Halo Reach beta)

Disk 2:
-Halo 3 Multiplayer
-Every DLC
-No Campaign
-Forge
-Custom Games
-Theatre.

The 'bonus disk' is just a Halo 3 disk, but with DLC map packs instead of a campaign.

Thanks you're all really helpful!
I have another question...
Is Sgt. Johnson supposed to be different to all of the other characters in Firefight?
Like, is he stronger, more powerful, quicker, healthier or does he just have better weapons?

Also, can you adjust the appearance of your character in Firefight and can you pick up different weapons? If you choose a certain character, does that adjust the selections of weapons you have, or can you just pick what weapons you want?

And, again, thanks for the help!

Those aren't 'my' answers. Those are the words of a Bungie forum mod. Who, Mr. Webley14, tend to be more informed about all things related to Bungie than most...
