It seems like it. The combat looks new, and you now play as a normal human instead of some super soldier. Can any one tell me for sure if bungie designed ODST to be like this? I think it would be a great Idea. It would really bring a breath of new, fresh air to the halo series.

The circle is now complete.

No, more so like Halo: CE.

Here’s what Luke had to say about the differences in treatment between the Spartans and Elites in Reach:

“Instead of piece-by-piece customization like the Spartans, Elite customization is a full model swap with models selected from the various Elite classes appearing throughout the Campaign. There are all kinds of reasons for this, not the least of which is our continued emphasis on the Spartan as your identity in Reach.”

More realistic than Halo 3, but not in the direction that COD is.

An opinion should be the result of thought, not a substitute for it.

I'm guessing you're wondering how the health system will work in ODST since you don't play as a shielded and armored Spartan.

Basically, the health system in ODST works as such:

You have Fatigue and Health as your two health systems. Fatigue works similar to the Master Chief's shields, the more hits you take, the more exhausted you get. Health works similar to that of Halo: CE, you have a health bar and will have to be careful to how many hits you take after your Fatigue "shield" is gone.

The game will still play similar to Halo, I just think you'll have to be more careful about picking your fights this time 'round.
