Subject: Post your ideas for ODST 2!

"I'm ready! How 'bout you? ...No? Well, we can wait."

So far from all of these ideas I've seen, ODST 2 would make an awesome game. However, two things I do dispute with are
1.Dual wielding- It's just impossible for an ODST to dual wield weapons. It would also throw off the realistic element of gameplay.
2.Combat Knife- The entire likelihood of using a combat knife as any sort of primary weapon is insane. It would have to be ridiculously over-powered+unrealistic to be of any use, and if it wasn't strong enough, nobody will use it.

All of these sound great! I personally don't care, what is in the next ODST, as long as i get to use, an ODST drop pod at will.

I also want Forge and to be able to fight against Bots, (Marines,Elites,OTHER ODST's,Brutes)on the multiplayer maps, like in COD BO's combat training. (Yes you can fight bots, in Black Ops!)

MY VERSION!

Story:
The story begins on Reach, during the events of Halo:Reach. You play as a new ODST. WHile your being dropped into a new city (Name unavlible), your pod crashes into a building and you get knocked out. Several hours later, the next day, you awaken to find yourself in an office building, with several corpses sprawled on the floor. You hear whimpering sounds, and draw out your silenced magnum, only to find a civilian. Crouching, you hand him your pistol and he gains your trust. You then become partners with him until your find your team.

You exit the building into the street, to find buses overturned. It is deadly quiet. Too quiet. Gameplay starts here. Captions say 'too quiet". You and your teammate (Name John) head through streets in the late afternoon, hearing banshees overhead. After a few minutes of exploring, you encounter a large fight between a few marines fighting off some Elites and Drones. Disposing of them, the Marines guide you to a falcon, where you get taken to an outpost. Small Cutscene, but level isnt over. You leave outpost with new weaponry, but as you leave the place explodes, and several plasma bolts are heard. You sprint into the city and the level ends.

Im not going to detail the campaign, but here is a list of missions:
1.Welcome to (City name)
2. Evac site: You help evacuate some troops and fight off some more covies
3. Nightcrawlers: It is night in the city, you must survive. Meet a member of your team, and blow up some covenant bases. Climb in a pelican at end
4. Meet the team: You take the shoes of the squad leader. FIght your way through the skies in a Falcon, steal a Phantom, and Pick up your team
5. Blip Blap Blam: Huge battle in city centre, your sqauds pelican/phantom gets shot down, and you must push your way through a covenant blockade to secure a new landing site.
6. Reach's bridge is falling down: You push your way to a bridge, which is the only entry/exit out of the city. You fight across in a warthog/scorpion (Your choice) and blow it up. You continue down the road to find a spire.
7. Sneaky feet: Sneak in on a hornet, get in the spire, set the charges. Fly out.
8. Shards of Faith: Your hornet gets captured by covenant and taken in to a covenant vessel to be examined. Your teams breaks free of the brig, fight your way out through twisted hallways, then escape on a banshee. One of your teammates is left ebhind to blow it up.
9. City central: Re-enter the city, and destory the ONI HQ.
10. Pickup: You must fight your way out of the entire city, to find a evac zone.
11. Like mombassa streets, you can travel through here and fight covenant.

Gameplay:
. You can sprint at certain times, when your energy is full (Similar to the cool down time)
. You can have a med pack on your back, which will heal you for one time only until you can get another from another health pack area
. New Weapons: Sawn off shotgun (Silenced shotgun), silenced sniper, Rocket thrower (4 rockets at once)
. You can have a flashlight
. You will have a small map in the corner

Features:
. Fully customizable faces, armour ect.
. Firefight returns
. Online Multiplayer is on, fight as specially equipped ODST's with small shield generators.
. As the others ahve said.

I'm 23, I have a house, dog, girlfriend, job and I have no interest in any fanboyism so if you're thinking about sending me a childish PM, don't be surprised when I don't call back.

A more involved, more serious storyline.

It's not Hip-Hop, its Electro.... prick.

The fall of the colony Tribute. Dutch played a huge part in this battle, perhaps he could be the main character.

I wouldn't mind if the Campaign was actually stealthy. For example, they made the Automag out to be whisper quiet, and yet every time I fire the damn thing every Covie in the area is firing at me.

Also, I'd very much love more Drop Pod sequences, preferably one where you're actually capable of controlling the Pod.

That sounds good, but I'd prefer if Dutch was a teammate rather than the main character.

I want to play as Jorge. NOW!

Awesome ideas

  • 03.16.2011 3:12 PM PDT

Make the story before the Covenant that eventually leads up to the Covenant half-way through, with ODSTs against Insurrectionists.

  • 03.16.2011 3:39 PM PDT

No soldier should be honored for doing what is expected
of him. He is after all, just doing his job.

('') ('') what a nice guy

I'd say do a story that tells the origins of the squad. Like 2-3 missions of each person (except for the Rookie, because we all know his activities from "Dirt" in Halo Essentials)

Spanning from Harvest, to Reach (I think you all want to know why Buck was on a secret mission in New Alexandria, missions with insurrectionists

things to add/keep:
Civilians (like the first mission of Reach, and parts of New Alexandria)
More stealth
More ODSTs than the squad
Cutscenes with space battles (More Cruisers and destroyers rather than just frigates)
Keep the firefly cast of voice actors (MOST IMPORTANT!)

Shoryuken!

Mythic Mode Progress on Reach:
Winter Contingency, perfection.
Other levels in progress.

Hopefully 343 will make ODST 2, since Halo is now in their hands. *Crosses Fingers.*

I once heard an old man say " Years ago, i sold my trumpet for something to eat, and know i know it would be better to die of hunger."

I upload a ton of Halo clips on my YouTube channel, feel free to subscribe.

Perhaps just a DLC for Reach, I doubt 343 will make an entirely new game for "small" game.

  • 03.17.2011 7:33 PM PDT

The tide is turning, brothers! Let us take our kingdom back!

I like what everyone else has said about having semi-controllable drop pods. That'd be a great feature to have.

A more gripping storyline, with less cliche characters, and a desperate sense of urgency and overwhelmingness.

More of a stealthy feel to the game, possibly quieter weapons (as someone else said, the M7S wasn't a very quiet weapon), maybe the ability to sprint, have a flashlight, and possibly take cover. Also, the presence of a knife, for assassinations.

Also, speaking of drop pods, here's my idea for a mission: You and a bunch of other squads are ordered to drop down on an expansive environment where the UNSC and Covenant are warring. There'd be 3 objectives in said environment, kinda like New Alexandria in a way, and it'd be up to you in what order you approach them, kinda like Mombassa Streets.

That's all I got. This is a great thread, just looking at it makes me hope that 343 make a second ODST, and that it has some of the features mentioned here.

How about this?

You and your group have just been ordered to drop. While your being prepped, your ship gets attacked by a covenant vessel, and with no co-ordiantes, your team lands right in the heart of a massive battle of the streets of new alexandria. Taking control of a scarab, you and your sqaud push your way to the centre of the city, only to find a mysterious object....

  • 03.18.2011 3:22 AM PDT

How about we don't make another ODST, because ODST sucked completely.

Not Completely, People started buying the game when it came out, Some people hated it but some Like the Game and have it. Besides thats just your Opinion. This is one of the best games in Halo so far.

Personally, I feel that, if ODST 2 was to take place, it should take place, either in a new part of Earth, (if we are talking sequels) or on an entirely new planet, that nobody has heard of, simply because it removes the possibility of canon being broken, either intentionally or by mistake.

Error 404:

I expected you to dislike ODST.

Anyways, sure. Great. Yes.

ODST is my favorite Halo game. I literally have nothing to complain about other than its length and limited customization options.

I can say the same for Reach.

  • 03.19.2011 6:10 PM PDT

It should take place on Reach, and the characters you play as should be in Buck's old squad (Before and when they died during the fall of Reach)

I haven't read the whole thread yet, so if I say anything already suggested than tell me.

I think that it'd be cool to do Buck's story on Reach. We've already run into in Reach, why not see everything from his (and his teams) perspective? For that Mombasa Streets feel, there could be a large segment down in the streets of New Alexandria.

(I hope to god that this would bring back ODST's SMG and Magnum. Those things were awesome!)

I will be reading the rest of the thread.
