Subject: Can we rename the game please?

Even w/ all the trailers and stuff giving away the title, Halo 2; ODST seems more appropriate than Halo 3 ODST. b/c it's like a Halo 2.5.
get it?

This game takes place between Halo 2 & Halo 3, so why not Halo 2 ODST?
this makes a lot of sense to me

Because it's the expansion to Halo 3, not Halo 2. It doesn't matter when it happens, but what game it expands on.

I'm sure the story in Halo 3: ODST will give more relevance to Halo 3 and not Halo 2.

Well according to what I've read, Bungie named Halo3:ODST due to the fact it uses the Halo 3 System (or something of that nature). Can't judge a book by it's cover by the way.

Or not, since it uses Halo 3's engine.

Well, it does use Halo 3's engine, weapons, vehicles, character models, and comes with Halo 3's multiplayer on a second disc. makes sense to me.

Why does it matter? Everyone's just going to call it "ODST" anyway.

And the reason it's called "'Halo 3': ODST" is because it's running on the same engine that Halo 3 used.

As a great man has said before "..." That is where the truth lies my friends

It runs on the Halo 3 engine, it's an expansion to Halo 3, it involves most of the Halo 3 weapons and enemy sandbox. So why would it not?

sure it takes place during halo 2, but its called halo 3 ODST since its an expansion for halo 3 not H2.

no i like it lets keep it bc halo 2 already came out so did halo 3 so they have to go with the latest version of the series i suppose.

I like to derp and stuff. I have a YouTube channel~

It's officially an expansion on Halo 3, but either way, if they were to rename it at all it'd just be ODST. Besides, if it were called Halo:ODST, then it'd give the impression that it's a new game. We all need to come to the understanding that ODST is simply a quasi-bridge from Halo 2 to Halo 3. It is a game meant to give insight into the humans' roles in Halo 3's plot.

  • 08.02.2009 9:08 PM PDT

This is my signature nub.

It's Halo 3: ODST because it uses the Halo 3 engine.

Halo: ODST would have been fine I reckon. It certainly can't be Halo 2:ODST (too confusing) and Halo3:ODST is confusing as well........ Halo:Reach isn't being called Halo0:Reach, so I don't really see why just Halo:ODST would be a problem.

Ah well it doesn't really matter though.

ODST runs off of the Halo 3 engine, plus if we called it Halo 2 ODST, people will get confused whether it's a Halo 2 expansion.

The victor is left bewildered and lacks the energy to climb further. The wise man and the older wise man were now in their rightful places.

No!, it is an expansion of the halo 3 campaign that simply takes place during the timeline of halo 2.

This. It runs on the Halo 3 engine, has all the same weapons, AND features Halo 3 itself (albeit w/o its Campaign) as well. It just makes sense to call it Halo 3: ODST because it IS Halo 3 still.

  • 08.02.2009 9:25 PM PDT

I wish I was still legendary.

It's named Halo 3: ODST because it's an 'expansion' for Halo 3, not for Halo 2. had it been made BEFORE H3 came out, or on the H2 engine, I think your title idea would have been used.

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.”

No.
