Subject: HALO: ODST 2

I know some people weren't satisfied wih ODST, and I believe this is because it was an expansion forced into the hype of a full game, given expectations that a short dev time and small team couldn't achieve. ODST had a good concept, but was cursed with the life of a side project. here, is my concept for a full blown real ODST game.

First things first, gameplay. ODST 2 would have more serious military game play, with combat and ranges similar to Ghost recon rather then your average halo. taking single hits can be serious, and debilitating, but so long as you get help a wound will rarely kill you. A first person cover system, stealthy long range shooting and tactical, detatched firefights with detailed squad commands in the VISR mode would be staples of the gameplay. in fact, it would be distinctly un-Halo, giving the immpression of real deal elite soldiers, and not peppy little half-marine-half-spartans. the game would have a vibe similar to the Halo: Landfall shorts, gritty, realistic, and professional.
Finaly, the game woul have a full campaign, competitive multiplayer, firefight mode, and for player co-op.

What do you people think? should ODST be given another chance after REACH, or should we just let it die?

Soon to be breaking news:


US Coast Guard prepares for massive rescue mission after Iranian fleet sinks off shore. Reports say a small thunderstorm caused most of the ships to simply...fall apart.

Let it die.

Ilove it! :)

I'm Aeromaster56 and I approve this message.

What would happen? Would one of the squad members quit? Would they get a new one? Would the rookie kiss Dare behind Buck's back?

I agree i did like ODST but instead of exploring city should been like other halos like mission after mission but more militeristic formed around a 6 an squad that you can customize and modify both armor and weapons to your liking. Not sure where or when in halo it would take place but somethign squad base would be perfec tlike modern warefare you have many human and covenant weapons in their you can unlock in multiplayer and play in campaign. I didnt much care for shields for brutes i think they were tough enough withoug shields in first place they should have gotten ride of that.

Multiplayer should have ODST, Marines, and Army troopers for the UNSC and for Covenant Brutes, elites, and skirmers(Cousins of jackals that seem more fitted to battle than jackals)

No. Just no.

Don't you mean Halo 3?

If you do an odst series i think Buck should be the main character much like master chief was main character for regular halo series. But dont just make it focused around one person make sure others are invovled as well and dont let them die. I admit watching miranda keyes and johnson died made me cry. I was expecting johnson to go out fighting though like against tons of brutes or flood. ^^

Well take that back a good series has some good soldier or character die so that be okay. ^^ but not the good ones, buck rookies, dutch, and mickey i like of the odst squad. Romeo a bit of an -blam!-. lol sniper should been a female

Don't hate... ...loathe.

Given that the direction Reach is taking is more similar to ODST than Halo 2 or 3 in terms of squad and the tones of the story I would say that we are getting an evolution of the conceps of ODST in it. A part two of sorts.

That being said I think thats as close as ODST will get to an ODST 2. As for storyline we might run into some of them in Reach. Maybe one with great hair.

ALot of people dont seem to like the series, if they had more than a year to work on the game it probally been better and alot larger. ^^ With the advancement in reach it would be intersting seeing a squad of elite ODST going against overwhelming odds using combination of skills, teamwork, and their weapons.

As much as I have enjoyed playing all of the Halo games, I would like to see Bungie create a new series.

Nice Idea, and I support the fact that there should be another sequel of ODST.

I've been a spartan since Reach-Halo 3.

Im not sure. I would like to see another game involving ODST's though.

  • 02.23.2010 4:02 PM PDT

least someone agrees. ^^ im no writer or game designer but i often see another odst game based on another squad. An elite squad of ODST that nearly as good as spartans that has the highest survival rate than any other ODST and able to cusomize their odst armors a bit more than others. Shows the squad leader in younger days starting out in basic training as an odst before the trainingfacility is under attack. Then takes years later when more experienced. ^^ has active imagination friends say

Non Nobis Nascimur - We are not born for ourselves.

An ODST for Reach would be cool. I don't (well, nobody does but Bungie) know how big a role Buck plays in Reach, but it would be cool to see a game made from Buck's (and other ODSTs) point of view.

While would be nice to see bungie make another game other than halo i would like to see a series about ODST. Either about buck or another elite unit with unique weapons and armors.

mongooses are the best. Remember that.

Do you like to forge? Want a place to share your maps? Want to join a friendly forging group? Plasmic Forgers

I'm kind of hoping they make something like this for Reach.
