"I am ready to face any challenges that might be foolish enough to face me."
-Dwight Schrute

Just came across this...IGN just ran another preview of ODST after talking with Lars Bakken of Bungie and Ryan Crosby from Microsoft. A lot of it is old news, but there is some new stuff that makes it worth reading:

- Talks about the growth of ODST from an expansion to a full game
- IGN played Alpha Zone hands-on and loved it
- Mentioned using warthogs in some Firefight levels (old news I guess)
- Many from Bungie claim this is the Halo game they are most proud of
- NEW screenshots of a Firefight level (Alpha Zone?) and post game carnage screens

Check it out here

Those new screenshots are well, new. Looks to be inside the ONI building perhaps.

Edit - Yep, definitely.

Sweet thanks for the link.
I want to see a firefight map that has vehicles though. I'm curious about those ones.

$5 says that big pillar with the ONI logo on it is destructible. Doesn't it just have 'blow me up' written all over it?

This man, this man right here put it so eloquently that I actually cancelled my own 2000+ word long post.
/slow clap for respect

The person who said participating is important, not winning, obviously never won anything.

It looks like that open door in the back leads out to the place where Security Zone takes place. Pure speculation, but maybe? Security Zone does take place right outside the ONI building, right?
