Subject: ODST Matchmaking

I haven't been keeping up with videogames in general for quite a while (working full-time + school will do that to you)... so, I'm sorry in advance.

I read through the FAQ in hopes that I would have all of my questions answered, but I still have a few remaining:

So, ODST comes with 2 discs... 1 with the new campaign and 1 with all of the multi-player(matchmaking) maps from Halo 3 + a few new maps. I'm assuming that the second disc will function almost exactly the same as the current Halo 3 disc in regards to matchmaking. What I was wanting to know is, well, is this accurate? Will you be able to play against standard Halo 3 disc players (obviously I mean on older maps)? Will there be a separate matchmaking feature that you play as ODST? Will the latest maps included in the ODST ever be available for standard Halo 3 players? If (and most likely when) there are add-ons for ODST multi-player will standard Halo 3 players be able to purchase these add-ons? --- Also, is the new multi-player disc just copy/pasted files from Halo 3, or are these graphically enhanced?

I haven't purchased Mythic, but if you can't get the ODST maps for the original Halo 3 disc it would seem like a waste of money buying Mythic, if I can just wait a couple months to get all of the maps. At the same time, I tried playing for the first time in a while recently and it won't let me play hardly any gametypes without the Mythic pack.

this is for the most part correct though I'm not sure if the last paragraph is correct but so far the second disk IS halo 3 matchmaking (cuz ODST is just an expansion)

Did you even read his post?

I would say if you plan on buying ODST and don't have Mythic wait for ODST it comes pre packed with all the maps plus the 3 new un released half of mythic.

Yes thread maker, from the second ODST disk you will be able to play with people who are on their Halo 3 disks in every mode except campaign. Since the next three mythic maps are exclusive to the ODST disk, it'll function just as if you were playing with someone right now who doesn't have the legendary maps.
There will be no separate matchmaking feature where you can play as an ODST save FireFight.
The last three mythic maps (also the last three maps ever for Halo 3 Bungie said) are exclusive to the disk and won't be on the marketplace.
The second disk is copy and pasted, but with all DLC maps actually on the disk instead of your harddrive.

I appreciate the replies. I suppose I'll hold off on buying the Mythic maps then and just wait until ODST comes out. I wish they would allow you to play Team Slayer without the new maps though :/

danget thats gonna kind of suck to have to change a disk just to play halo 3 campaign or a old map why cant bungie just do odst like halo wars with a code and after about a month or so put on the marketplace cause say you want to get the new skulls on new mythic and then your friend asks you to play slayer on narrows or somthing and then you want to forge on citetel i meen its fine but id rather have it on the marketplace

Im a Gamer, I have loads of lives...

What if someone on odst wants to play you on campaign? What happens then?
Do you swap discs or can they just join like normal?
