FEET FIRST INTO HELL

I heard in fire fight you ONLY play as the ODST from the game, you can't customize your own? is this true?

You have a selection of characters to choose from. You then can change the colours and even take your helmet off. And you can change your service tag too. It's longer than 3 characters. Before is was something like C47, but now it's better.

Sup?

Taking the helmet off would be a deffinite bonus. But would it effect your damage coming in?

I very much doubt it, because then Johnson would have a permanant damage increase.

But i wonder if you can customize more than just Helmets, Shoulders and chest plate...
I hope so.

Look the link provided above. You choose a character, either helmet on/off, change colors, and change emblem.

I'm pretty sure you're just thinking of the opening cutscene

i heard that you could unlock bonus ODST armor in halo 3 if you unlock certain achievements in Halo: ODST, such as body and shoulder armor? is this true?

In the video it shows you only can change you're character and helmet, so no you can't change chest, backpack, legs, and shoulders. You can still change symbols and tags of course.

that was probably just for the demo (the limit of customization) because bungie said in an update that you can edit your ODST with unlockable armour

We only got one armour perm in the Halo 3 Beta. Then they suprised people with pictures of the different permutations. Its Bungies way.customize your player model (yes, there are custom armor permutations for use in Firefight),
And if you want proof of that, its here under the third picture.

they probably took out the options for the e3 demo so nobody could see all the new perms.

EDIT: also, in the gotta lotta issues mp3, you can hear him say "hat, no hat"
