What's the difference between Halo 3 ODST and Halo Reach?

ODST is more or less an expansion pack for Halo 3. Halo: Reach is a new game.

But what's different about the two with the games themselves?

ODST takes place between Halo 2 and Halo 3. Reach takes place before Halo :CE or maybe even Halo Wars. (Haven't read the books so I'm not sure.)

Edit: Well, with just a trailer that only revealed the planet Reach being attacked gave us no info so we don't know the difference. But you should be playing alongside other Spartans in Reach.

ODST adds a new campaign and Firefight(think Horde mode from Gears) while keeping Halo 3's multiplayer. It takes place during the Halo 2 timeline and you play as an ODST marine on some sort of secret mission.

Halo: Reach is a new first person shooter taking place before the events of Halo 1..


Wiki the rest.

Hehe
If my past two posts haven't given you a satisfactory answer then any further explanations would be just as long as a wiki article.

They're different games. Not to be rude but is that not somewhat obvious?

I will make it simple for you, we have

Halo 1
Halo 2
Halo 3
Halo Wars
Halo 3: ODST
Halo Reach

Released in that order. (Not including Halo 2 Vista etc)

  • 06.21.2009 2:20 AM PDT

and this is when they happen
halo wars
halo reach
halo ce
halo 2
halo odst
halo 3

Then why call him God?"

Halo reach is when the covenant attack the planet reach and thats when all the spartans die except for master chief and after that the covenant discover earth and thats when halo 2 takes place.So most likely halo reach is gonna be about the story of the other spartans or how they all died.

Correction, ODST takes place from halo 2 into halo 3 and i think it is in more relation to halo 3.

The guy who saved Master Chief's ass on Reach and on Earth.

halo 3 odst takes place when the prophet of regret and MC go into that slipspace thing. the odst's dropped right after that

"if i have seen farther it is by standing on the shoulders of giants" Isaac Newton

Halo 3: ODST tells the story of the rookie a new ODST going to defend new mombassa right after the Master Chief went to delta halo and their defense story. The overall story is that the rookie finding his squad, but there are multiple side stories.

Halo: Reach gives you an entire new game. This game is based on the book Halo: The Fall of Reach. it gives you the story of the original blue team, if you look at the photo, on the far left there is Sam, the biggest strongest spartan of blue team, then next is Kelly, the smallest, but fastest spartan, then John, the team leader (Master Chief) then Fred, and Linda. Halo: Reach probably lets you play as one of the above mentioned spartans and lets you see the battle that occurred on Reach that killed all of the Spartans.

I need to read the books


Fixed

The war started on the planet Harvest, before Halo Wars which was like in 2530.
Reach fell in 2552, right before Halo: CE.
Tell me kids, which happend first?

Halo reach is when the covenant attack the planet reach and thats when all the spartans die except for master chief and after that the covenant discover earth and thats when halo 2 takes place.So most likely halo reach is gonna be about the story of the other spartans or how they all died.

Not all the Spartans died, the Chief isn't even the only Spartan of his class.

ODST is a story where you play as an ODST (*GASP*) and look for the rest of your squad in a Covenant occupied city.

Reach is probably about the books First Strike and Fall of Reach.
