Subject: An idea if there was another ODST game...

Vengeance only leads to an ongoing cycle of hatred.

I have a simple idea that I think would be nice to incorporate. Well, instead of just having a gloomy city, add some weather to it. What if, for example, you were walking around Mombasa Streets. Then, out of nowhere, a storm hits. Water drips down your visor slighty impairing your vision. Maybe it gets so intense there are very small floods only ankle-high. That would slow your movement a tad. Or, instead of just having random storms in the city, there could be a mission that you have to carry out in an intense thunderstorm. Could you imagine having rain pouring in at you while you're trying to fight the Covenant. Maybe even make a Firefight map out of it. Wouldn't that be cool?

Yeah, that's true. I got pretty annoyed with Halo's normal speed sometimes. So, I understand how that would piss people off. But, nonetheless, having minor flooding that didn't impair your movement would be pretty cool.

that would be a nice feature

Would be cool. I actually remember in an ODST Vidoc they talked about how they wanted to have some rain in the city, but how the engine couldn't handle it. If a new ODST was made (won't happen) I could definitely see weather playing a roll in the game.

Um.....Red name tag??

I like the idea. I would like a Halo game more realistic like your idea.

Yeah it's ashame another won't come out. If 343i were smart, they should make one after they come out with Halo 4. And, this is really a stretch, make a Halo Wars 2 along with another ODST game.

Random storms would make ODST 10x better.

Ever played Hard Rain on Left 4 Dead? Awesomeness.

Yes, Hard Rain on L4D2, was probably one of my favorite levels.

I'm new to competitive Halo and Halo itself (Reach being my first video game ever actually). Message me if you want to play;

Awesome idea and I totally agree. Need to mix things up once in a while right?

I'll render videos for free. Just PM me. I subscribe to Bungie Pro and don't have anything better to use the minutes on.

I'm actually writing an ODST 2 game. Hopefully, Micro$oft will be willing to publish it if it gets good enough.

Ehh.. Was not very fond of the first Halo 3: ODST..

So based upon that judgement.. no.

But I guess if there was a sequel.. it would work?

Idk.

Odst 2 is not very logical because I believe Odst took place between Halo 2 and Halo 3 soooo ya...

True, and I realize this. But, I think they can still incorporate the game into the timeline, somehow. It doesn't have to be close to the first ODST. Hell, it could be a completely new squad. Although, I'd rather have the same squad. I've come to really like them. (no hom0)

  • 05.17.2011 8:12 AM PDT

Walk by faith. Dude. Not by sight.

Unfortunately, I will probably buy all future Halo games until they truly suck massively, which is unlikely.

That being said, I would prefer they not suck. I would like to see ODST 2 deal with the Insurrectionists. Maybe Operation TREBUCHET.

Maybe 343 could use the Reach engine, just do a campaign, and release it for 1200 MSP on Arcade. DLC could be additional campaign missions.

That'd be nice. I don't know if it'd do well with the Reach engine, though. Nonetheless, I think fighting Innies would be a nice touch, rather then always having Covies as a common enemy.

The squad had horrible personalities. Way too generic and cliche'd.

So, you're on a three day ban from our group and how do you spend it? Leaving negative comments on my public thread. Thanks, Bradlez. Thanks. -__-

I think this is true, but I think that it was intentional. The whole lost rookie, split up team, rescue and win back the girl thing. It feels familiar. Also, when creators go for novel, cutting edge characters, it frequently comes out contrived.

Want an ODST 2? Wanna figure out where to place it in the timeline? I have your answer.

Make a game depicting the events from halo 3 from the squads POV. The battles in the Crows nest, Voi, and the Ark would have had more fronts than what the chief sees. Figure out how to give the ODST's something to do and boom, you have ODST 2.

War Never Changes

play as buck and his crew during the events of Halo 3. you drop with Mc and you do what can to secure the UNSC hold on the Arc. another idea is to go back to Harrvest we buck stated out( if im correct) fight the covenant in open fields, vast wilderness and urban settings.

Im goign to say this in a nice way, but SHUT UP! with another odst. It is so annoying that the odst forum gets filled up with threads about anotehr odst. i personally wouldn't mind another odst but unless bungie can make it as good as the first one, i think it might be crap. I think that the halo saga doesnt need anotehr odst

Dude, chill out. It's an idea. No need to get your undies in a bundle. Sheesh.

Or you can have something completely new. No Crow's Nest, or Ark. Just have them in a different city trying to complete something that's vital to the war effort. Something that ties into the other Halo games.
