I'm not sure. In fact I'm not bothered. I'm not getting ODST, so to me I wouldn't mid if we see him, play as him, or even just ignore him.

You worry me with the title of your thread. When I saw Buck I thought that this thread may contain spoilers and you decided to post here instead of the ODST forum. Just me being silly.

Halo should be played as a Spartan only.

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.

This statement is 100% ignorant of the fact that not only was the Arbiter, and all Sangheili point of views within Halo 2 and 3 well conceived, and all in all A NICE FUN CHANGE. But in Halo Wars our control of the whole battlefield, with slim to NO Spartans, was JUST as enjoyable.

Controlling an ODST is going to be a challenge, that is all. You are fighting the same war against the same Covenant, but you won't be a super powered Spartan. I would go so far as to assume that Single Player Legendary will be the hardest it has ever been. However, the absence of Sangheili enemies leaves an even harder Legendary entirely possible in future games.

That post is really ignorant for at least 2 reasons, you should notice those reasons yourself.

Sorry. I do post rashly occasionally. I apologise. I loved the Arbiter mission in Halo 2. I just think that marines are not tough enough to survive against the Covenant for any time period at all. Read the books. They get slaughtered. They get beaten by Grunts and as Elites havn't been fought until Reach, we don't know how badly Marines would be beaten.

That is why I posted that ODST should be considered a challenge, Hard mode if you will. Legendary in Halo 3 left something to be wanted. Mostly, it was just too easy. ODST is supposed to show us what Halo 3 would have been like if you were far weaker.

That and I think it's worth playing JUST for the story. You can't know all there is to know about Halo if you miss out on a whole game.

Oh yeah, and Mythic 2, its not coming to Marketplace from what the evidence has told us all. The only way to enjoy Heretic, Citadel, and Longshore in Halo 3 is to buy ODST.

Legendary was easy on Halo 3 until Cortana... that was rediculous. I can see what you are saying though about ODST's getting a tougher fight.

Cortana wan't hard, I've done it without dying before...

Halo 2 was hard. Even on the first level, at the second Covenant Boarding Craft, 2 Ultras, and a Zealot. Plus 8 or 9 other Elites, all in one tiny little space... it hurt.

Nahh, I just got Halo CE and Halo 2 4-5 years ago, and NEVER HAD LIVE. So I did nothing but play Campaign over, and over, and over.

And then BAM I get Xbox live a couple of months after Halo 3 comes out, and I'm a level 40 in a couple of days...

My troll sense is tingling.

It'll be a nice continuity reference.

"YOUR DESTRUCTION IS THE WILL OF THE GODS, AND WE ARE THEIR INSTRUMENT."

A single, unimportant ODST who is probably gonna get slaughtered sometime? Why the hell would we -want- to see him? He doesn't matter. Why should we see him?
