Subject: Halo 3: ODST *DLC*

Before you read this thread please keep in mind these are only hopes; however, if you get as giddy as me when you dream big, then you'll enjoy this read. Please add your own ideas.


New Firefight Players
This, in my opinion would be very enjoyable to have. Having Sgt. Johnson is fun, but to the huge DLC buff, it just isn't enough. So, start the list and feel free to add your own.

Captain Jacob Keyes
And yes I mean Commander Keyes' father. He was a true soldier and Sgt Johnson's dead too so why not bring back another legendary zombie? He has a major role in the books, and I know many other Halo junkies would love to see him as finally playable as well.

Commander Miranda Keyes
Following in her father's footsteps, she worked her ass off in the military and got her a rightful position. Then, of course, she died by a few spiker bullets to the back. That's not a good way for her to go out don'cha think? And as we are already on the topic of zombies, why not just have another undead? Finally, I don't give a damn if she's just a bunch of pixels, Bungie did a good job of making her look good, so that's clearly enough for me.

Pelican Pilot
Do me a favor. Go back to "The Ark" and watch the first scene where they play "Farthest Outpost". Take a look at the Pelican pilot. Nice green armor, a Freakin' beast helmet, and the cool collectiveness that a UNSC pilot requires. That's good enough for me, and we can all take a break from the standard black of the ODSTs. In my opinion, the Pelican Pilot helmet is probably better looking than half of the helmet perms.

Flood-Infected Marine
Now, before you start the "It won't work ya big idiot!", ODSTs can't dual wield. So, the weird little arm-fingers-whip thing could just be used for melee or just not used at all. All flood only shoot guns with one hand anyways. Plus, this guy really is a zombie! Lower his running speed and jump height and, dammit, you've got the ugliest marine you've ever seen. He would be a blast in firefight.

Standard ODST
We have our custom ODST squad that we will be commanding but how about the standard cannon fodder from Halo 3? They were always cool right? If anyone here as ever played Castle Crashers, they will know that the Gray Castle Crasher is just the standard "no special moves and complately rounded" character. I'm just saying maybe a little flair isn't always needed?

Bad-Ass Halo: CE Marine
Submitted by MTA MoonDawg
We're talking about the marine riding shotgun to MC on the cover of CE. He's got a green eye piece.

Now I'm going to leave the list at those five for now, but I'll add the best ideas from you guys to the mix.


Firefight Maps
If Firefight is going to be as Bad-ass as we think, "We're gonna need more maps."

Blood Gulch: Blue Base
The entire map is too big for Firefight IMO, but one base and all the way out to the mid hill of the map would be good for me. Get in the Banshee in the middle of the base and take to the skies, or walk up the ramp to the base's top and pick off advancing Covie troops. I don't know about you guys, but that sounds pretty awesome to me.

Guardian
Covies drop into the middle circle and turn to either of the four walkways and hunt you down. Now we've all played Guardian before, so I'll leave you to your imagination. Needless to say it would be very good even if it's style doesn't fit the bill perfectly.

Crossfire inspired map (from CoD4)
This map is one really long road, and at each end of the road, there is a small turn off. You could spawn on the high side on the turn and hold off waves of enemies coming from the long road who spawned on the low side of the turn. If you haven't played CoD4, then this is probably unintelligible gibberish, but any CoD players will know what I'm talking about.

Covenant Level (Part 4)
The part when The Arbiter kills The Prophet of Truth. You stand on that command center where Truth was, and you fight off enemies that are coming from the beginning of the Halo-grams. Maybe add in some platforms, so it isn't just constant straight shooting.
Now like up top, I'll add more ideas when I read some of your guy's.

Welcome to bungie, you have no rights. play nice!
CLICK!

I prefer Sandtrap to Guardian.

Hey guess what!? I play CoD more than Halo, but I'm not an annoying fanboy. I love CoD more, but I like how involved the Halo Community is...

Bungie has no plans for DLC in ODST.

Go Rams and Missouri!

For characters, I'd like to see both the Keyes and I'd like to see a Flood Firefight map.

Give a man fire he's warm for a day light a man on fire he's warm for his life.

Plans can change. They never said that it is definite that DLC for ODST will never happen, they are just saying that they haven't decided whether to do it yet.

Whenever a developer says there aren't any plans, it means it's not happening. But that's okay, if you actually read the post, you'd know this is kind of a fake wishlist, we know it won't happen, but it'd still be cool.

In english, that would not imply that they will never do that, it means that they literally have no plans for it. And as I said, plans are prone to change. Show me how that statement means that it will never happen.

5 years and counting on Bungie. I feel old and worthless.

Valadar is right. Plans are prone to change....

There aren't any plans because right now, Bungie is focusing all there Frigates and Forces on the Reach Production, since that is the Last Halo title we will see for a Very long time or Ever. (My guess)

"There are no plans for anything Halo after ODST"
A few weeks later, Halo: Reach is announced at E3.

"There are no plans to make the Legendary maps free."
A few weeks later, "The Legendary maps will never be free."

"Halo 3: ODST is planned to be a 3-5 hour expansion and not full price."
Now we learn that it is full price, Firefight has been added, and "the campaign will rival that of Halo 3, well not Halo 3, but the other halo games in length."

And if you want to find the actual statements, have fun looking through an entire year of Weekly Updates to try and find your answer.

Halo: CE Anniversary Achievement Idea
C-C-C-CANNON BREAKER!
Let Sgt. Johnson die on Halo.

We need one of those bad ass Halo 1 Marines with the green screen over one of their eyes! That would be sick!!!

This is who I'm talking about.

Your guess is wrong. 343 Industries is probably working on Halo as we speak (they are Microsoft's internal company led by Frankie that is in charge of all Halo products from now on save Reach), and Bungie is working on two projects, one is Halo: Reach, the other only revealed to not be called Halo.

Are you trying to prove or disprove my statement? What you are showing to me is that they sometimes do or do not stick to their plans. They planned Halo 3 ODST to have just a campaign that last 3-5 hours and nothing else, and that plan didn't go through, as you mentioned.

Look at what they said about the Halo 3 Lockout remake, Blackout. They said that would never, ever happen, but they disproved even themselves.

Not to mention, it would be a very bad business call to not have ODST DLC because the game has a huge, huge potential for added content. Bungie wouldn't be making a good choice if they will never make a DLC

I'd like to see one half of Avalanche in firefight obviously the whole map would be to large, but half of the map could be a promising firefight match.

  • 08.14.2009 8:35 PM PDT

It'd be cool to see those marines that have that box/backpack with the antenna(sp)on it.

*PS
like the thread, saved! :D

Dude I don't care and my grammer is perfect.I used "Big", as you recall it to mak is specific."to not do...",is incorrect beause "do" is present tense/perfect(or future) when it was a past tense.

For characters: Ignito (sp?) Delgado from the cole protocol, or, better yet, his rebel friend.
Okay, now I'm going overboard:
Dadab
Lord Hood
Cpl Locklear
Catherine Halsey
Misters Shaw and Fujikawa
Jenkins (flood infected marine from CE)
Jenkins (from Johnson's squad in Contact Harvest)
Tom (or any S-III)

i wouldn't doubt bungie wouldn't make some dc for ODST. Remember the cold storage map they never said a thing about it but then if i remember winning the G4's best game of the year Bungie was like here you go ppl. So i wouldn't count out the idea that there won't be any dc but i wouldn't get your hopes up.

My dc wishlist
Normal Marine
Maranda Keyes
Lord Hood
Stosh
Mister Chief
Guns (Guy in the beginning of Halo 2)
Arnold Schwarzenegger (just be funny * GET TO THE PELICAN DO IT DO IT NOW!*)

Some cool philosophies from The World Ends With You (DS)

The World Ends with You........ Give up on yourself, and you give up on the world.

Only by allowing strangers in can we find new ways to be ourselves.
The World Ends with You is one of the best games on DS, buy it if you have a DS.

BTW, most of those people aren't dead. Just to let you know, ODST is inbetween Halo 2 and 3. Sgt. Johnson Died in 3 and I remeber seeing Miranda in 3.
