Hi all,

So with ODST dropping into stores in a few months and having seen all the gameplay videos, I'm wondering what people think of this new approach to the Halo play style.

With subtle hints of stealth and caution as we are no longer a Spartan super-soldier, this will obviously give us a whole new style of play. The flashbacks seem much more action packed, however, as you're caught in these intense battles with a legion of Covenant troops advancing towards you. This goes for Firefight as well.

What do you think?

I like the new style of gameplay. But I also love they way the bring back the Halo action we know and love.

I've always wanted to sneak around in halo games, but its hard when your a 7 ft beast.

I dont really think its a new style of play. Its just a bit slower.

Disagreed, you have Skulls to activate too which make the game more interesting. And it all depends on the style you play the game.

"Gaming is having a ridiculously huge TV in a tiny one room apartment. It's staying up until 3 a.m. to win a trophy that isn't real...but is. And though we may pledge fanboy allegiances to different flags, deep down inside, we all serve one master, one king, and his name is gaming! Forever may he reign!"

yea i like sneaking around i will rush brutes from time to time but mostly be a ninja throught out the game!

"Before you insult someone, try walking a mile in their shoes. This way, when you insult them, you are a mile away and have their shoes."

I think it's good Bungie is trying something new. The free roam idea will cause 9/10 of the community to say it's "too hard." Halo 3 got many people used to easyness (maybe myself too) but I will love the fact that your health doesn't come back.

We'll see when it comes out, as sometimes the community is led on to believe something that isn't real. That being said if ODST actually is somewhat stealthy and sneaky, and less hijack a chopper and splatter some covenant then I'll be pleased. Not that I see anything wrong with hijacking and splattering in Halo 3, it's just that in ODST I don't expect to even be half the soldier the Chief is. In other words less run n gun and more tactical/strategic gameplay.

good... running in as MC and killing everything without risk was boring... campaign was only interesting to me on legendary.

Indeed.

I want my steaks Luke...

They're adding the old with the new... There's not really anyway this could go wrong, I'm all for what they're trying to accomplish.
