The back cover of the game has really got my attention

2 Things in particular:

1. The main Image there with the 2 ODSTs looks awesome. The background looks amazing and I can't wait to see where that happens.

2. One of the smaller images has really gotten my attention. Its an amazing shot of the Scorpion Tank. Firing on what appears to be a Phantom...

God I don't know... Something about those 2 things just makes me so happy and...fuzzy inside. I think the wait's starting to get to me.

Yes, the wait is quite the pain in the ass.

Why would you get flamed for this?

  • 07.16.2009 7:12 AM PDT

The fight has been complete.... now get the cookies!

While we certainly share your enthusiasm for the return, we here at the Bungie.net community are mostly made up of snarky asses and jerks who will ridicule you for making a thread about something revealed months ago. We regret that your innocent intentions will almost certainly be replied with anger and sarcasm, and politely invite you to don your Flame-suit, because you just did the internet equivalent of jumping up the Construct lifts.

Dude, when I saw the back cover I knew I had to get this game. I almost stole the display cover at gamestop.

This here forums is a scary place. I thought people would have just said "useless" and start flaming.

Maybe there is yet hope for this place.

About 50% is like that.

If there is hope, there are very small trace signs of it.

The back cover looks awesome.

Ooh I haven't seen this before. Argh, I can't wait!

Is this the official cover? Because I remember Halo 3's cover changed, but it also wasn't as eleborate as ODST's.


Anyways, I agree it's one hot cover.

One thing I don't like about the cover though is under the Multiplayer part, its focus on Heretic. I mean, come on, there are 2 other maps in there and those 2 maps probably need to be 'sold' to us more than a Midship remake.

  • 07.16.2009 7:21 AM PDT

Vrrin Vrrin, yeah here I come.

i get that same fuzzy tingle feeling in the pit of my stomach too. seeing those pics and looking out over the ocean on the halo 2 level headlong. (especially if you shoot the brute shot out. it looks like pods coming down)


its the brownish skies. they make earth look way cooler. they should've done that for halo 3. instead they did blue skies looked like earth does now, not a futuristic, older, awesomer earth.

it is the feeling that you get when you are extremely exited about something and you want to explore to the fullest. i got that feeling when i played the halo 2 earth levels as well.

the view of all those sky scrapers in the firefight picture is like the halo 2 cover. SPELLBOUNDING.

Man as soon as I put that disc in and get my ODST controller connected, I am just gonna stare at that main menu for an hour...

Quick question, which one of you are gonna do it solo legendary the first try?

But you see, that's the problem now. My expectations for ODST now are peaking the meter, even higher than Halo 3 in fact. I was in the crowd who saw the Halo 2 E3 2003 Demo (There are higher quality versions but this version is a must see) and got all excited. The "Save Earth" campaign for Halo 2 was pushed, and pushed hard but ultimately failed. Halo 3's return to Earth wasn't all so brilliant as well. It didn't feel desperate. Earth's invaded by the Covenant and yet, I'm happy.

Indeed, Halo 3: ODST is the Halo 2 that never was and those expectations are impossible to beat. But maybe, just maybe this little Strike Force of a team managed to pull off something amazing... Everything seems to be pointing to this.

Vrrin Vrrin, yeah here I come.

i might, but im gonna do two player. my 7-year-old bro is about as anxious for it to come out a s i am!

I might. It will make Campaign a little more interesting, and I can get all the Campaign achievements in one, long, frustrating run.

  • 07.16.2009 7:32 AM PDT

Vrrin Vrrin, yeah here I come.

yeah, those red skies in the demo seemed so cool, and the whole "defend the streets of earth" seemed to be the coolset thing ever. i read acendant justices thing about ODST being what halo 2 almost was, and i loved it. it was just what i needed to hear.

but just think, ODST would have never come out if the Chief hadn't gone in the IN AMBER CLAD to delta halo, because without the carrier rupture, there would be no need for the ODST's to land on earth!

Though, the ODSTs were already ready to drop before they knew the Covenant were bugging out.

I'll be doing either Normal or Heroic my first time through. After that, a friend of mine will come over and we'll do Legendary Co-op together.

After the long ass wait (2 1/2 months), you bet your ass I will be staring at it for a while.

I'll be on my menu screen until one loop of the Menu Music has finished. Then, it'll immediately be a jump into campaign. Originally wanted to pull of an all nighter, similar to what I did for Gears of War 2. But ODST's coming out 6 days before my End of Year Exams! Same thing happened during Halo 3. It was either play Halo 3 or study...

Chose the Halo 3 one.

Can't afford to take that risk again.

lol i hate waiting:(

I love this cover.

  • 07.16.2009 9:26 AM PDT

A well-built sniper rifle is a beautiful thing. Mine has two separate levels of zoom: 'Up-close-and-personal' and 'Hello-you're-dead'.

To me this cover is better than Halo 3's

Hmm...the tank picture reminds me that on the last level one of the achievements it describes it having a Hog and scorpian on the " Deja vu"" vidmaster achievement. So my guess that's where the picture was taken, unless it's on firefight or another campaign mission.
