No way! The main Halo series as in Halo 1 2 and 3 is for the chief and the chief alone (except of course the few Arbitar levels in Halo 2 which in all honesty kinda ruined it for me I mean dont get me wrong I love the Arbitar but those levels just werent my style). Adding in an ODST sidekick or hell even an ODST sidestory would completely mess it up for alot of people.
They already did it with Halo 3:ODST begin expansion to Halo 3, just on a new disc like Fallout New Vegas is expansion to Fallout 3.


Thats all well and good but any game with the chief in it should be just the chief. It would ruin it if they brought in another character that wasnt long term. And the chief doesnt need a sidekick so unless the ODST is Badass, Black and immune to flood A.K.A. johnson then there should be only chief


That's incompetent! Sgt. Johnson was a Spartan 1 not an ODST! If anyone it should be Buck as a side-kick because he is the most lethal ODST. And who said anything about a side-kick? This is about the return of Buck and his squad! Make sure you know what you are talking about before you comment!

I kinda agree but a little side story would be nice too.

I am open to doing free clan tags for anyone. Contact me on my deviant art profile through a note and NOT on my comments page as they will not be acknowledged.

Click on the "My Homepage" button to be directed to my page.

I don't think I would want to play as them, but I wouldn't mind seeing some ODST's. We have to remember that this is going to be the most character driven game for Master Chief. So I am assuming that we are going to only be playing as the Chief.

Online you could choose which sort of soldier to play as. ODSTs obviously need an upgrade to give them a chance to battle against their Spartan counterparts. This would be the remainder of the Visor HUD system along with two "armor abilities." Sprint would be a constant with the option of an actual armor ability. They do not have all the body armor of a Spartan slowing them down. They also have somewhat of a stealth element, so they should not show up on motion trackers, unless on a full sprint. This would also add some of the variations in multiplayer gameplay fans have been waiting for. Spartans for a full out assault and ODSTs for the stealthy players.


This could add a new dimension of Halo - if you add Sangheili to this equation, you get the classic gameplay 'triangle'. With some small changes, you could make a system where each group (Spartans, ODSTs, Elites) have an advantage over another group, rock-paper-scissors style. Maybe SPARTANS could have shields and drop shield/Armor Lock/Jetpack, ODSTs could have Sprint/Jammer with VISR HUD but no shields, and Sangheili could have shields and Active Camo/Evade. That way no one group gets all the armor abilities, and the armor abilities are 'grouped' so that there is a clear rock-paper-scissors relationship.

No. I believe Halo 4 will be centered around John and Cortana. They will be the main focus of the new trilogy. Allowing you to play as an ODST will take away from that.

I write poetry, I write short-stories, I listen to hip-hop (80s&90s), Reggae, Classic Rock n Roll, Heavy Metal, Jazz, Blues, and the 60s, 70s.

No, not in the standard campaign at least. But I would like if they added bonus missions that take place in different events just too fill in canon gaps...maybe in something like that.


I would like bonus missions too, like F.E.A.R.'s bonus missions.

  • 07.10.2011 10:26 PM PDT

that would be awesome

You spelled of course, 'Of coarse'. This is not a type of intrusive-igneous rock. This is an option in a poll.

This man, this man right here put it so eloquently that I actually cancelled my own 2000+ word long post.
/slow clap for respect

The person who said participating is important, not winning, obviously never won anything.

As long as we see ODST´s hotdrop on the battlefield around you, I´ll happy.

Sorry, but I think that your ideas about the multiplayer stuff would just put big flaws in the gameplay. Other than that I like your campaign ideas.

Actually, you are right about that. The Chief is finally going to evolve some as a character! However, would it be too much to ask for it as an add-on or a game within itself?

Sorry, I'm sure you always got 100% on all of your spelling tests in grade school. The only problem with that is only your mommy and daddy give a crap! It's called a mistake and everyone makes them.

I'd rather use that time developing John's character or the character of someone else in the story than a random ODST.

"On the seventh day, god did not rest, but rather he created 64 player multiplayer!"

I don't want ODSTs or any humans other than John being involved with Halo 4 in any way whatsoever (except POSSIBLY, if this is somehow linked to Ghosts of Onyx). It would defeat the believability of John and Cortana being lost in space if they simply float to this unknown planet and happen to run into humans there (unless it's Ghosts of Onyx related...that's the only way). It would completely spit in the face of the Halo 3 ending...

You my good friend are a genius and i completely agree. Though maybe a radio transmission from a UNSC and/or and Elite ship would be good

But I agree, I miss the halo 1 feeling where you are alone. Its you against the everyone else.

If done right it could be cool.

I believe that the new trilogy should be centered around Spartan 117, (John), as Master Chief is, in my opinion, the backbone of Halo, and I don't want to play any more side stories. (By the way, I did really enjoy Halo 3:ODST and Halo Reach, its just that I feel that it is time to get back to the core of the Halo story.)

I can respect that.

How would you, by the trailer you crashed on an uknown planet with no other humans within lightyears.

I put the answer to that in earlier and I am not repeating myself!
