As you progress throughout your life you realize that the older you get the closer your are to death, the only thing you cannot change.

I'm just curious, seeing as how the game has little to do with the story line of Halo 3, anyone have any ideas as to why it's called Halo 3 ODST?

It's built on the Halo 3 engine; just like Halo 3.

I am reularg.

Imagine ODST is more of a modification than a new game. It uses Halo 3's game engine so Halo 3 still remains in the title.

I think one of the reasons is that it was originally supposed to be an expantion to halo 3.

I don't really even get how it expands Halo 3 for that matter, I mean it doesn't continue the plotline, it continues Halo 2 more then Halo 3

Loyalty is all I have.

It is part of the Halo 3 story Arc thats why

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.

Technically it is part of the Halo 2 story arc. The reason why it is called Halo 3: ODST is because it is an expansion to Halo 3 and it uses the Halo 3 engine.

Check out the group, Planet Reach and talk about Bungie's next game without the annoyance of the public forum. Oh and it's nice there too.

You thought you had lag, it took Jesus 3 days to re-spawn.

That's the reason some don't consider it an expansion. Like others have said, the only reason I can see why it has the 3 in the title is the engine it is built off of. It's a whole different game as far as I'm concerned and certainly not an expansion is the traditional sense.

its an expanision pack built using halo 3

  • 07.11.2009 12:29 PM PDT

It takes place between Halo 2 & Halo 3

Doesn't it also take place during Halo 2 as well?

It was supposed to be called halo 3 recon but they changed it to "ODST" so it made it more forward. But yeah, just like everyone else is saying It's because it's a halo 3 expansion and it has halo 3 engine.

Maybe the person who posted this thread? If people wanna post threads they should be aloud to. If it's seen so much and the person doesn't know how to use grammar, then you can bash them. But maybe this person just wanted a simple question?

Halo 3 is for noobs. Gg NoRe.

It should be called Halo 3: I'm buying you for Recon.

Noobs who care so much about armors, forge, theater.

CARE ABOUT CORE GAMEPLAY YOU IDDIOTS.
