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
(typo)


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.


it kind of is an expansion though. it takes place right after Miranda goes after the Prophet of Regret to Delta Halo after we take down the scarab as chief. we never got to see the city afterwards, after that slip space jump (until now...)

And yea, of course I couldn't tell w/ 100% certainty now, but i'm almost sure the game ends before Master Chief comes back to earth, thus Halo 2.5 arises. A.K.A Halo 2; ODST

Well, it would be nice to name it Halo 2.5, but seeing as how it's an ODST game, I would simply prefer it to be called Halo: ODST.
But, it's called Halo 3: ODST, so we'll just have to live with it.

Seems like you found my signature.
Stop reading it.
Stop it now.
Go away.
Click that box again.
Click it now.

Its not going to happen. They already printed the box art, Johnson cards and the name Halo 3 ODST is already in the servers....

"Let me turret, you suck at it. Don't be sad we all know it."

Why not call it "Halo: Kinda between Halo 2-3, but a tad more-so towards Halo 2 ODST"

  • 08.03.2009 6:31 PM PDT

Because, imbecile, it's run off the Halo 3 engine. If you saw a game saying "Call of Duty 3: Special forces", you would think it was an old game.

Or, "Halo: Has elements of both Halo 2-3 being built on the Halo 3 engine but based sorta after/during Halo 2 so it could kinda be Halo 2: ODST". That sounds good eh?

  • 08.03.2009 6:34 PM PDT

Noobs can't handle AR/Pistol Spawns.

Its not Halo 2. It doesnt have the same engine and it doesn't look crappy. If they do rename is drop the 3.. But I really dont care. Its a game. Deal with the TITLE that doesn't matter.

You know those days where you wake up and you just don't want to get out of bed? those days when you drag your feet across the floor like a zombie? yeah, I'm having one of those days.

no its stupid...thats like saying metal gear solid 3 should be called metal gear 0

well, because you asked so nicely...yeah, i bet bungie will recall all the advertisments of the game and completely change them...good idea

  • 08.03.2009 7:12 PM PDT

why are you looking at this?

how about just halo odst? that would solve everone's problems.

  • 08.03.2009 7:14 PM PDT

Dark PerFectioN clan!!!

Does it really matter? Its a name. Its the makers decision to name the game not yours. I mean there are games called Bikini samurai squad, micheal jackson's moonwalker, etc. Go complain about them.

  • 08.03.2009 7:20 PM PDT

It's because it uses the Halo 3 engine, but I'd say the graphics have been beautifully improved. And I'm definately not calling it "an expansion"- that sounds so petty, and this has so much more than an expansion. An example of an expansion is Broken Steel for Fallout 3.

OP - You're a dumbass with the reading comprehension skills of a second grader.


Can someone tell me what's wrong with these two, this made me LOL hard.

It's impossible, ODST is already coming out in about 1 month.

Actually, I find that I'm more invincible without pants, which is why I am not wearing any at the moment.

ODST uses H3s game engine.

Because it is a Halo 3 engine game, and honestly, we have no idea how far the timeline goes.

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.

Why not stop by my File Share while you're here?

Only regret is I didn't play more of it.

If you haven't noticed by now, I'm sort of a jerk.

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

sig goes where?

Each new Halo game uses a fresh proprietary game engine. Halo: CE used the Halo engine, Halo 2 used the Halo 2 engine and Halo 3 uses the Halo 3 engine (yes Bungie is creative in naming their game engines).

Naming the game Halo: ODST, would imply it is a fresh new game (like Halo: Reach), however, it is not a fresh new game, as it runs off the Halo 3 engine, uses Halo 3 weapons, vehicles and AI, with just a few new features and updated graphics.

Naming the game Halo 2: ODST would imply it's running of the Halo 2 engine, which is of course outdated.

I hunt for the Prophet of Contentment, the San 'Shyumm that murdered my son, and stole his birthright, his Energy Sword. They call our species Heretics. They claim to all that our tongues sting, our words a vile poison that feeds on the unworthy. I have seen the true face of Heresy. The head of a gallant warrior lay on the ground. His neck scorched and blistered, scarred by his own blade. I shall retrieve the weapon, and drive it through that bastard's heart! Punishment for his sins is nigh.

It's called Halo 3 ODST because it is made in Halo 3's Engine, not Halo 2's.

Vancouver BC, Canada.

It's fine. I'd leave it.
