Everyone go to the marketplace and download a video called "Halo: Landfall"
Its about a group of ODSTs that use a transponder to locate Master Chief as hes falling back to earth on that chunk of metal in the begining of Halo 3. I'm NOT saying this is going to be in ODST, but it does make one think...
that video was simpely test footage that peter jackson made to test some of the special effects and props that would be used in the halo movie. it has nothing to do with the game and was just testing. and we all know that the halo movie has been posponed for a latter (way later) release date.
Actually Halo: Landfall was a Halo 3 promotional video done by director Neil Blomkamp. It wasn't a test, and I think they only employed WETA (the shop that provides props for Jackson) and had no transaction with Peter Jackson. While the props may be used for the Halo movie- if and when it comes out- are yet to be confirmed.
As for the video's involvement with the game, it does have some. It's how the Marines knew where the Master Chief fell, and that the section of burning debris was in fact the Chief.
Now, as for the Chief's appearance in ODST, the most I could see is him being mentioned by the ODST or some recon group. I don't think he'll have a physical appearance, but a mentioning wouldn't be out of the question.
