Subject: Halo ODST TV Spot?

Hey Bob, what are those things jumping across the rooftops like majestic warriors dressed as Spartans with their heads on fire?

Oh, that's just the Bungie ninjas. Mess with them and they'll bring a hammer down on your head that's so big, they have to keep it on Jupiter 'cause it won't fit on Earth.

Are we ever gonna see one? There were 2 that I can think of off the top of my head for Halo 3 months before the game came out, why not ODST? Sure, it's an expansion, but comeon, it is basically its own game.

what about other games, like Gears of War 2. Basically same online play, just different Campaign and Horde mode. It had TV spots.

The clay one was amazing. Music was phenomenal, too.

Even if there were TV Ads, I don't think they'd be out in the wild yet.

Yeah, Chopin is under-rated.

The Believe ad didn't really fit the game it was marketing IMO. I know it got more people to buy the product (which is the entire point) but c'mon, we know how Halo 3 really was. I actually Bungie and Microsoft could've saved it for the more dramatic Reach game, but whatever.

On-topic, if there is going to be a TV-spot, I would simply expect edited footage of CGI Rookie is nighttime New Mombassa and gameplay footage mixed in. That, or a commercial based entirely on Firefight...

Also it should be noted that ODST isn't being marketed as a AAA game, which is why its being called HALO 3: ODST, The main attraction for odst for many will be the multiplayer, which is why they have the second disk, tv spots cost alot of money, i guess they would rather save the money on ad campaigns for Reach rather than on ODST which is going to be picked up by people who love halo and know about it already and want that little bit extra.
