Subject: why the reason for ODST?

Hey, im hunter just want to keep things as mature as possible.

to me this is my opinion ODST was made for all the cod fans who like to get killed in one shot and like to be tactile and hide behind cover. to me halo is about being on the front lines killing hundreds of people and risking your life to save humanity. not just hiding behind a box.

You don't have to buy it. It has Halo 3's multiplayer, so just download the three new maps when they come out on Marketplace and there you go.

And ODSTs don't die in one shot. They have stamina AND health, which is almost equivalent to Spartans.

Has the OP ever watched a gameplay video? Or is he basing it all on what he thinks will happen?

i think the OP needs to familiarize himself with Halo 3 ODST a bit more before being a critic about it on these forums.

Grunts and Drones don't have shields, and they account for half the enemies you'll be fighting.

yah but thats not nice to say

I was in 5th grade. I popped in the Halo CE disc into the massive, clunky first generation Microsoft Xbox, and wrapped my small hands around the controller that was almost too big for me. Little did I know what I was getting into.

10+ years later, I still look up to my childhood hero, Master Chief, while everyone talks about He Man and Spongebob haha

Dude, the chief's gotta hide behind cover so his shields can recharge, too.

I think the ODST's stamina shield takes a similar time to recharge as well, except this time your screen flashes red.

Both the chief and the ODST have health, but the ODST's health bar is actually displayed on the HUD.

BIg whoop.

In COD, human projectile weapons hit instantly. It's halo. You can dodge those slow moving covenant plasma projectiles, whether it be with any character.

Feet first into hell!

the point of the game is not to make it like cod. its to bring you down from the spartans and show you what its like to be a normal marine fighting an advanced race that has the upper hand in technology cause thats what the Human-Covenant war has always been.
and like everyone else said. you dont have to get the game. theres no point in jumping in and complaining about it.

To me, the Halo series is about being on the front lines, killing hundreds of people and risking your life to save humanity. You should not just hiding behind a box in a Halo game.
Actually, in Call of Duty you can also hide behind fences, bails of hay, and miscellaneous pieces of crap.

ODST is still Halo game, it's just being seen through a different viewpoint. (i.e. the Rookie and the other characters of H3:O)

That's what spartans are for. Now, you get to feel how its like being an odst. not a cod game.

This isn't going to be call of duty. One shot won't kill you so just calm down.

-blam!- the Free World!!!!

It's almost like Halo:CE but with a twist. Bungie wanted to give players an exciting new feel to their series and also wanted to claer up what happened on Earth between Halo 2&3
