Hey.

I was thinking for DLC, (or even add it to the game) bungie should add Real ODST Multiplayer..
Meaning, that its not the same Halo 3 mulitplayer, but it would be ODST multiplayer.
So, it would be the same Halo 3 Slayer or CTF, but your an ODST with No sheilds- no tracker- no uber melee-etc. and you have to try defend the Flag or arm the bomb. Also, Bungie would have to edit the maps so there would be no Brute weapons or Energy Sword. ( Save for spiker)

Let me know what you think.
Thanks

It would not replace halo 3 mulitplayer- it would just be another option.

They could make a gametype DLC like they did with Halo Wars, and it could include multiplayer maps.


Thats the idea.

Although, I was thinking more along the lines or matchmaking and or Custom Games.

Well they could just make the matchmaking feature 'DLC' (and hopefully keep it at 800 since it's not a new way to play, your just an ODST)


You got it.
800 would be right, anything higher would be to much. Its not that hard to do this idea.( To my knowledge)

They already have Halo Reach coming next year with new multiplayer. Why would they want 3 different xbox 360 live enabled multiplayer on the market? Two games to fight for the top spot is enough.

Because it would make ODST that much better. Besides, I'm pretty sure alot of people where wanting and expecting this feature.

Check out my [/u]channel!

You can allready do that. Edit the game options

If you are referring to fire fight- Fire fight would not work all that well for this idea.. If you are referring to changing the Halo 3 game types.. Its a good idea, but would not get past custom games. Besides, its not all that hard to change the skin of the player- delete some covenant weapons- then add the matchmaking feature to ODST- then posting it on the Marketplace.

I really doubt theres gonna be any any extended support for this game, maybe an update or two for bug fixes, but that would be about it. Bungie will most likely be working on getting Reach ready and whatever else they're working on once ODST ships. They've already said ODST is like the exclamation point to end the Halo 3 support. There will still be matchmaking updates and playlist changes, though. So, there might be some new gametypes added, but DLC is highly unlikely.

They can't abandon us for a whole year! No!!!

There's the beta coming out sometime, so it'll probably be only half a year or so that you're gonna be forced to go back to Halo 3 after getting a taste of Reach.

Why wouldn't they? More publicity for Bungie (No offense I love your benefits to gaming Bungie!)

Once Reach rolls around, halo 3 will no doubt, Drop down in population.

We don't want 3 games taking away the Multiplayer....players.

Halo 3 will last till reach, then it will slowly die out as it's served it's purpose.

The only part of ODST's mulitplayer that won't count as Halo 3 is Campaign Co-Op, and Firefight.

Yes, but firefight is co-op, and co-op campaign is well.. Co-op.
But what if someone wants to play a game of team slayer, but as an ODST, and no friends are online. ( So, you could not do an edited game type) You could not.. Because Bungie is too busy/going to be to busy with Reach... I'm pretty sure alot of people would wait a few extra days for reach just to get atleast a ODST matchmaking system. Even a Lan Multiplayer would be nice... It would be really easy to do.

Also, alot more people would buy this game over another game if ODST had Multiplayer or knew this game is going to get multiplayer.

  • 07.16.2009 12:30 PM PDT

I can only see more Firefight maps as possible Halo 3: ODST DLC. (Hopefully more than 3 for 800 MSP though).

Reach looks Sick!

Well i got a game that you basically jump down from a "ship" and you have no shields and there are brutes trying to kill you but you do have 200% damage resistance

It has the free roam feel to it

The game is called Hell Jumpers and the map is New Mombasa

Its on my fileshare
