Halo 3 = God Game
Halo 3: ODST = Awesome game
Halo Reach = (I hope its beyond God game!)

I earned Recon!
OXM, thanks for the mythic code!

I read somewhere that ODST would be an open world game (For those who dont know what open world means [Dont worry, I didnt know too] like GTA, so basically you can go anywhere.
The question I have regarding this is does this mean there wont be missions just one big open world campaign or the missions will have an open world?
Thanks!

rookie goes open world. Levels are other characters with objectives, missions. It is like regular Halo. Rookie is only free roam

When you play as the Rookie, it is an open world game. However, when you jump into flashbacks of the other characters, it is linear gameplay like the other Halo games.

Rookie goes open world. Levels are other characters with objectives, missions. It is like regular Halo but The Rookie is the only free roam character to look for clues.

" Truth? You will Never know Truth!"

"My tears cannot cover the blood that has been spill."

"I lead my troops into battle. With strong morale and man power, we will overcome the invaders!"

Then after you find all the flashbacks maybe you must escape from the city.... From any direction :P and any path to freedom!

Ahh!
Rookie being only free roam is actually what I was predicting really!
If the whole game was free roam, I was about to think ODST was ruined! However, since I now know its just rookie...sounds very cool!!! You get the best of both worlds, 1 if them being one we already love and know.

I like how you explained what free world was. Its pretty self explanatory.

"Open World" in the Metroid sense of the word. It's not like GTA.

Hey guess what!? I play CoD more than Halo, but I'm not an annoying fanboy. I love CoD more, but I like how involved the Halo Community is...

The part I'm most happiest about is having 2 2man teams wondering the city ambushing covenant patrols. Plus I'm a love being able to split up and not being forced to stay with in a range of everyone

Well put, we will still have missions to do and they will have to be done in certain orders, otherwise you will have to backtrack. People who have played Metroid will know what we are talking about.

It's still linear as far as I know. You will not be able to do some levels until you complete some other ones. Bungie said they will have some sort of prevention system that will prevent the player from going to certain areas of the map until a level is completed.

Meaning it is linear to an extent. Linear-OpenWorld

-blam!- Was that actually blammed out? Or did I just type it? You'll never know.

Well, we know there will be missions. In the open world and in flashbacks.

  • 07.06.2009 4:35 PM PDT

-I was here

its open world as the rookie but like omen said, you wont be able to go to certain places till you do the flashback missions
