Subject: What would ODST be like?

Well lately i been meeting alot of people online who like me like halo, but favored the ODST game more than the others with master chief and nobile team(though i like idea of elite spartan team than lone spartan idea.)

My question to everyone on Bungie and even the creators of Bungie what make great ideal ODST game?

ODST Armor and Equipment:
To me since the ODST armor has alot of technology utilizing from mark 4 and 5 spartan armors i would think the odst armor is advanced in its own right. Doesnt give the amoun of strength teh Spartan give maybe only doubling the strength, reflexes, and speed of odst. Since also utilizes some of spartan technology i would also imagine the ODST armor itself able to take much more punishment than teh stand marines or even army trooper jumping alittle higher than regular soldiers but nothing like the spartans.

Other things come to ming as utilizing hte potential of the odst VISR mode makign where use it not just with night vision seperatly so use it during the day. VISR mode only highlights enemies, allies, objectives, intel, and even forerunner atifacts. Other than VISR mode infrared and nightvision.

Another runique thing i like to see since at the corner of the screen you have motion tracker i would suggest that a map be at the corner of showing the surrounding area and have some motion tracker cabalities when an enemy and ally are moving are firing weapon.

Aside from armor since the ODST are a special op's type group i think they would been assigned some of their own weapon other than the Silencers SMG and Silencer Pistol from the regular odst game such as a specialized assault rifle utilizing both ammo from UNSC assault rifle and battle rifle with reflex glass. This and more as well both more UNSC and covenant weapons

In the game:
Though i love the covenant alot i belive that in addition to this rebel forces been shown in the game, but these rebel forces supripsing well equiped and technology utilizing both covenant and unsc technology. Perhaps this Faction was planning to rebel against the UNSC but had go to hiding when covenant showed up but show up when suits them, like covenant have many differnt soldier type randing from an average grunt all way to a heavy and using own weaons, vehicles, and technology rivaling both covenant forces and the unsc.


Gameplaye:
-Sprinting
-knife others(either sneaking or upfront lie farcry, killzone, and turock)
-Prone(laying on ground
-Aiming weapons even thoughs without site
-5 Sqaud AI's you can control but make commands less complex
-have up to 3 person co-op (Reason three cause with 5 AI's an including main player having 4 person co-op make 10 people., least 8 would be max.)
-more unique weapons from both unsc, covenant, and rebels
-more challenging AI's that arent just deadly and invincible only on legendary such as the AI's from FEAR, Crysis, Farcry, and killzone, they use teamwork and call reinforcements if not careful
-Game linear like most shooters but explorable like the orignal two farcry series(not farcry 2) and crysis. ^^ more terrain to cover.
-Series itself i think would take place before and during the events of all the halo's so get idea about the other battles that took place other than with master chief.
-If multiplayer i think be something like rainbowsix, ghost recon where a firefight type mode but more alont of missions rather than survival. wasnt one for multiplayer battles i prefer nice long campaign with intense gameplay and good story.
-though bungie makes fro xbox and pc i love to see it on ps3 as well since half friends i know on xbox live and half ps3 ^^
-something you dont beat in under 12 hours, like how long shooters used to be around 16-30 hours longs. ^^ ahhh good old days
-for multiplayer instead of bungie making maps, have nice map making mode where players make their own maps from the ground up like farcry. ^^ i seen alot good maps in farcry created by others.

Their would be more in this but sadly im not game designer but i do enjoying hearing ideas from others and imagine how the perfect odst game wout be

lol i like halo but love odst, love to see somethign with larger enviroments, more intense battles, and stories that doesnt involve spartan. An elite Squad of ODST that few ever seen in action and only heard about in rumors. ^^
