Subject: IF ODST had a multiplayer... then Section 8 beat it to it...

Well I have been playing the multiplayer beta, and to tell you the truth it is an awsome game. Although it does take alot from Halo... Like every other game that takes ideas and improves into another game. Basically you drop at 15,000 ft from a gunship, can be 8v8, or PC- 16v16 to 20v20.
You are placed into a squad, now its your choice to stick to your squad, BUT if you do and move as one single unit, chances are, you will be unstopable. How does this faction into ODST? Well ODST are soldiers that drop into situations where marines cant usually go without gaining high casualties... Also ODST are highly trained and are usually sent into battle because they are volunteers.
NOW in Section 8 you fall in low atmosphere, but you still gain friction. Your in a suit probably more advanced then the Mark VI suit. It has armor (Unknown) and shielding capabilities. And can enhance the users aim, atributes, speed, and mobility. Similar to the Mjolnir armor.

Well now the thing that sets ODST's and Section 8 troopers is well, armours and kits, apperently Section 8 is a bit far more into the future. Now here are the things that Section 8 beat ODST for the multiplayer
-Dropping into the combat, this prevents camping, can drop where teammates are dropping and where squadmates are dropping to cordinate attacks.
-A Somewhat innovative All-in-one game mode/battlefield sort where there are "set ammounts" of bases on the map that your team controls, controlling bases helps your team gain points, while destroying enemy turrets or field emplacements controlled by an enemy team net your team points as well. The all-in-one game mode im reffering to is that during the game, the specific weapon you are using or specific action gives you points to a specific cause then your team can unlock this objective and do it-Vip,convoy,bomb,intel(cap the flag), ect.
-impact kills, you or someone you land on will die if something that weighs roughly 1000 lbs. est. lands on you.
-Calling in emplacements such as health/ammo depos, turrets, and vehicles

DONT make this a flame post or say that it is because you know im right... DONT judge me because Im a huge Halo fan, have all the books, games and both Graphic novels :P,
keep this post alive and post ideas, and lastly Section 8 is a great game, has great innovative gameplay NOTE I said gameplay because there is only multiplayer no SP so the story is unknown. Section 8 is a good game for what I have seen, it may not have the best graphix but its still good, so you should check it out. Kthnxbye!

Yep. Love Reach.

Isn't firefight and campaign the only "multiplayer" beens you can play splitscreen and with up to 4 friends on Live?

  • 07.22.2009 6:08 PM PDT

Well yes... but on some forums... and only a few posts on this one, people ask about a multiplayer version of ODST, this supposed mulitplayer was beat by Section 8s multiplayer because Section 8 comes out b4 ODST and there was even a beta that is currently out now.... but who knows if the guys at bungie ever thought of a multiplayer version of ODST besides the co-op multiplayer which really doesnt count as Multiplayer, hence why it is co-op

Guys lets not have another Halo and CoD war thread..that dead horse has been beaten so many times that dead horses great great great grand horses will be dead before they are born.

Now, Section 8 looks to be an awesome game, i have it pre-ordered, because in fact i do think it will rock. But this is a Halo 3: ODST forum, none the less. I think ODST will be one of the greatest games of all time. I love Halo, and I love most FPS games. I hate medal of honor BTW. I like to play CoD Campaign when im bored.

But now.... ODST FTW! Lastly:

Actually Section 8 is at about the same point in time as Halo, if not earlier since Humanity is still confined to our solar system. Timegate has just taken the future farther than space jeeps and shell casings.

But to the point about the multiplayer I whole heartedly agree that Seciton 8 has a lot to offer. Will it all work out as well as you or I hope so, maybe, maybe not, we'll just have to wait and see. However, if things do work out I will say that I won't be returning to matchmaking for a very, very, long time. Bungie will certainly have to step things up for Halo Reach if they want to remain at the top of the FPS pile.

Oh, and you also forgot the fact that you can have a huge number of compitent AI's in multiplayer.

First of all, thank you forever for introducing me to this game. My local Best Buy manager is usually very good about keeping me informed. I'll have to toss him into the piranha tank for this failure. Or force choke him. Either way, this looks like a good idea for multiplayer. I've always wanted a game without fixed spawn points, ever since Medal of Honor Airborne turned into another keeping-my-piano-level game.

Just an Average Joe...

I have interest for this game... But no game will ever take me away from Halo gameplay... There's just something about it.

Never say never because, as good as something may be, perfection is an impossibility so there is always the chance that something will come along that may be even better for you.

I also really like the idea of being dropped into combat, but Section 8 takes it a step too far with its gameplay. It's like someone took Halo and turned every lever to the max. Super speed, super armor, super jumps.

It takes more than one clip and several grenades to kill someone... wtf?

Not a good gameplay idea IMO.

  • 07.22.2009 7:26 PM PDT

your not playing it right then... Grenades only take down shields... once shields are down then it hurts armor/health, and it depends... how ever far you are shooting your target will depend if you will affect their health or shielding... further you are=shield, closer you are = health.
super speed not that big a deal, you sprint for bout 5-10 seconds before you enter "super speed mode"
super armor, HAVE YOU SEEN THE CHIEF HE = WTFBBQSAUCE
Super jumps, = get the jump on the enemy or to evade/get to better higher position
AND thank you for intelligent people posting

ODST's have been dropping since Halo 2.

Section 8 looks fantastic, though. It will tie me over until ODST.
