First of all I'm just pointing something out. This is not a rant made out of anger at Microsoft or Bungie.

So people are saying that ODST has the same multiplayer as Halo 3. I know this and it has been confirmed, but on the boxart it says "New Multiplayer" So I know firefight is a new gametype but is it really enough to say new multiplayer?

It's a whole new Halo 3 multiplayer, so yeah. You don't think a multiplayer mode that hasn't been in any other Halo game should be called new multiplayer?

"New Multiplayer"

As in... New Multiplayer Maps.

The multiplayer on the second disk it the same as Halo 3's just with more maps. So I'm saying if you advertise new multiplayer then there should actually be new multiplayer

To clarify in my previous post I was talking about Firefight. I'm sure thats what they mean on the box as well.

Firefight is multiplayer too though, and thats the one I assume they're talking about when they say "new multiplayer" otherwise they'd say "new Halo 3 maps"

But it's just one gametype. Granted it is a long ass cool survival gametype.

I see where you're coming from. Since Halo 3 MM has slayer, ctf, assault, oddball, and all that you consider it more of a multiplayer. I can see that. I like the idea of firefight much more, I'm a big campaign guy.

Its a co-op(multi-player) mode which probably as much,longevity as halo 3 Multiplayer proper.

I'd say its okay.

You're not making sense. ODST has a BRAND NEW Campaign called FireFight, never before seen in Halo. So, "New Halo Multiplayer" is FireFight, and the three new maps. And the game is called "Halo ODST", so it's Halo. What exactly is your point? One way or the other, no matter how you slice it; it's new Multiplayer.

No signature found. DO NOT Click here to change this.

Firefight is new, and you can play multiplayer with your friends. It is still multiplayer, just not the kind you're thinking of.

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.”

New Multiplayer:
Co-Op campaign
Co-Op Firefight
3 exclusive maps for Halo 3 Matchmaking

Ehh I can see where there could be some confusion in deciphering the Box Art. Personally, I think "New Multiplayer" = Firefight as you pointed out. I am unsure as to whether or not it is worth calling "New Multiplayer." It seems like it could be a lot of fun and could be played for hours on end.
