They've got two full teams working on 2 New Full Games, Halo: Reach and Something else we don't know that is not Halo.

Plus the size of this team working on ODST is... Hella small. Hence, 'all' we get is an awesome 'expansion' pack.

Yeah, isn't the entire ODST team like what, 3 people?

  • 07.11.2009 7:02 AM PDT

They have also been working on Reach, and probably fine tuning the Mythic Map Pack. Let's not forget that they've been doing alot of community work as well. I mean it was only recently that they handed out +1000 sets of recon (congrats to those that won).

They are still working hard, and remember what the credits said at the end of Halo 3?
I believe it was "We've kicked ass for years, and we'll continue to kick ass for more years to come."

And they have been keeping their word there.

You see an expansion usually takes 2 years, "Looks at wow" so chances are that they started working on Halo3:ODST when they shipped halo3 or even before they shipped it.

You haven't been playing a lot of computer games have you?

I hunt for the Prophet of Contentment, the San 'Shyumm that murdered my son, and stole his birthright, his Energy Sword. They call our species Heretics. They claim to all that our tongues sting, our words a vile poison that feeds on the unworthy. I have seen the true face of Heresy. The head of a gallant warrior lay on the ground. His neck scorched and blistered, scarred by his own blade. I shall retrieve the weapon, and drive it through that bastard's heart! Punishment for his sins is nigh.

ODST is way more than an expansion too, it is its own whole game, just run on Halo 3's engine.

The internet is a bad place.

I'm looking forward to ODST to,but i don't think bungie focussing on quantity rather then quality is something we should be thrilled about.

This was ended no need to bring it up again

Forum Rules for those who care to know what they are.

"Bs: Blame stosh for all of your BS!"

It took three years to stabilize and maintain a Server full of completely different connections all set upon the same server. It takes 2 years after all that hard work to bring something else harboring on the same server, not to mention Halo 2 is still there. It ain't as simple as you think.

I'd love to be a 10 year old and tell my mom I'm going on an adventure out into the world catching Pokemon, with her full support. Never mind the fact that there are rapists, criminals, and murders out there, or the fact that I may get killed by a Pokemon.

Luckily I have Pikachu.

They didn't have to give us an expansion, but I'm glad they did. ODST is gonna have the best campaign mode since Halo 1.

  • 07.11.2009 10:47 AM PDT

After having two full teams working on Reach and secret project. Not only has the Halo 3 team been creating great new maps and monitoring Halo 3 multiplayer, but they've managed to make a great expansion with a considerable amount of content.

Not something to complain about.

Yeah, ODST is basically an expansion.

I mean, it is like an entire game.
But it is still just put as an add-on to Halo 3.
It has the same multi-player, and almost the same type of Campaign.
Kill and get to Checkpoints to win.

Don't get me wrong, it is going to be an awesome game, it's just not like a full-sized thing.
Not like Halo 3 was.

RAWR!

yeah if you call 9 multiplayer maps and 3 new games "nothing" then yes bungie has done absolutly nothing!

  • 07.11.2009 11:05 AM PDT

Several map packs, more map packs to come, but yeah, all their doing is an expansion pack.

Dont forget about Halo Reach, the secret game theyre working on now, and we all know they'll come back to Halo again in the future.

  • 07.11.2009 11:13 AM PDT

Yep. Love Reach.

So an expansion that has all map packs (even the new mythic), being able to have recon, new campaign, new game mode (firefight.) 2 years seems reasonable to me. Also worth the $60.

I believe they started working on ODST in March 08, and pre production in January of the same year

Loyalty is all I have.

wow kid...SHUTUP!. 2 years, and bungie have been running halo 3 non stop (and halo 2) while at the same time they have made a brand new game (halo 3 ODST), made 4 map packs, a halo reach beta, and still makeing halo reach. ALL IN 2 YEARS! think about it. most companies take 3-4 years to bring out another game....

bungie have done soo much, in so little time. and your pissed off about it...sort it out!

and if you have been listening to the pod casts...i swear they are in the process of another game because they keep saying its super top secret...but they can talk about reach.

You also need to take into account the size of the development team on the project...and that games take a quite a long time to make.....you can't just pull it out of your ass...

Some people are just blatantly ignorant on the subject.

This game will be effing awesome. You guys are so ungrateful, I'd hate to see you at Christmas time. I personally cannot wait and will be playing this game for months.

if knowledge is power and power corrupts, isn't knowledge therefore dangerous?

halo CE to halo 2: 3 years
Halo 2 to Halo 3: 3 years.
