Which would be the best way to prepare for Halo 3: ODST? I have listed several with reasons why they could be best.
Halo: Combat Evolved
In Halo, you have weaker, slower shields and a health system. This is similar to ODST's health and stamina system. You also can take fall damage, unlike later Halo games but similar to ODST. The AR in Halo is like the SMG in ODST with a high ROF and 60 rounds. The M6D is very similar in function to ODST's M6C/SOCOM. And rounding off the list is a lack of BR in Halo and running slower and jumping lower than later Halo games.
Halo 3
In Halo 3, we see enemies and weapons closest to how they will be represented in ODST. The SMG is present along with many other weapons that have been upgraded since the early days of Halo. Enemy classes will likely be little changed from Halo 3 to ODST.
Call of Duty 4: Modern Warefare
CoD4 puts Halo players into an unfamiliar situation, No shields, Enemies who are just as deadly as you, and the ability to get absolutely dominated by stupid mistakes. ODST will drop Halo players into similar situations, including urban combat with little or no team support, a lack of shields to protect them, relying on accurate fire rather than blind spraying, and removing the feeling of being an invincible one man army.
Books and Forums
The Halo books can offer a more realistic tactical approach to the situations we may encounter. Spartans and Marines in the books often dispay strategies that could be useful to the situations in ODST. The Forums are also a place where tactics and ideas are shared, some better than others.

Just post your ideas for this one.
