Hello there fellow ODST's! As we all know, Halo 3: ODST's campaign is awesome, but many consider it too easy. Well, I have some awesome new ways for you to play it!


Mombasa Streets: Legendary, No VISR

This is one of my favorite challenges as it not only tests your skills, but it brings in a feeling of stealth associated with ODST's. New Mombasa comes alive with no VISR; the lights you see on buildings really stand out, and the Brutes look awesome. Be warned though; if your not stealthy you will be ripped to shreds. This is a very fun way to play.

Use only the ODST Weapons

A simple but fun way to play, try and beat Mombasa Streets with only the Silenced SMG and Silenced Magnum. This will add a feeling of stealth again. This makes you work out better tactics and makes use of every piece ofthe enviroment (i.e Cover) for you to use.


Play throughout the game on Heroic without losing once

A devious challenge which requires a skilled hand and a fair bit of experience to even attempt. All you Greenhorns who wanted to battle real Covenant, this is your chance.

SLASO, No VISR, without deaths

A difficult challenge for even veteran Halo players. If you've beaten Halo 2 on Legendary, try this challenge for the next level of gameplay.[/b]

Difficult. Very difficult. Even on Easy. Face it, you've already given up.

Trapping the enemy

A fun way to play, the goal is to set traps (Such as moving Plasma Batteries) into specific areas on Mombasa Streets (Legendary) without being detetcted. You must kill enemy patrols without being detected using these traps. Examples of traps would be the Ghosts lying around (As they havn't exploded) or the Covenant Pylons (They create a small explosion when destroyed). You can even shoot at grenades lying around.

Lost

The Goal: Get around Mombasa Streets without using a map. An insanely hard challenge for he beginner, this challenge requires a great memory and a fair portion of luck. While you're at it, why not try and find all the Audio Logs?

Fist Fight
Fists only. You can use the end of your weapon, but that's about it. Normal or Heroic.

Submitted by SteroidKloud

Be the Rookie
Set difficulty to Heroic. Play through the entire game as if you are actually the Rookie, meaning no deaths, at all. If you die, start over from square 1.

Primary objectives and secondary objectives must be completed; That means main story events and you have to collect all the intel. Tertiary objectives include helping save as many AI police/marines as you can.

You may only use Human weapons and vehicles, unless Covie vehicles are mission-critical(see:Phantom Escort Chapter).

Feet first into hell.

Assassinate


Anyways, I'm here to introduce my brand of gameplay. In CE, I would methodically exterminate or assassinate every Elite I could get to (notable examples: SC, AotCR, TB), whether it was by stealth or by devilish manipulation. Ever since H2, assassinations are just too easy because you can just go around them when they melee or do that reverse melee. So here's the challenge. Should be done on at least Normal due to the way things are and how a Brute's melee can push you back some distance:

Assassinate every Brute, preferably giving them a whack in the back of the head instead of the back for good measure. You must take out the last remaining Brute in an area by crouch jumping over him when he melees and assassinating him.

For hammer Chieftains, engage them normally but if he activates his Invincibility, avoid him until it wears off. Then get him to do his leap melee and time it so that you jump off his head like this (I'm not sure if this works in ODST). Then you can kill him in any way you want. For best results, try to assassinate him subsequently, like this.

Complete this challenge and you'll be a certified plumber. :3

Nega-Switcheroo
Heroic, no switching weapons. That includes picking new weapons off the ground.



Also Steroid, join ODST City again.
That's about all I have but if you have some you want to share post below and they will go up! Thanks guys!

There's a treasure for all of us. For some it's a friend others find a pet and many a lover. The whole adventure is finding where it's hidden.

That treasure doesn't include my avatar, you copycat.

I tried that legendary thing and i sucked (probably because i was doing the vidmaster challenge)But like what multijirachi said, it really forces you to use stealth (especially since you can't use your gun or grenades).

These are not the informations you are looking for. Unless you're looking for my informations.

Check us out. Registration is not open, so please contact me or another member of the site if you would like to consider joining.

Play without the right thumbstick on Default.

If you don't play Default, then switch to Default anyways, it makes it more of a challenge.

Play through Mombasa Streets without being detected by enemies. Dunno if it's possible or not.

  • 01.09.2012 3:52 PM PDT

Cool, I'm going to have to try some of these out. Did anyone ever see the "Different Way to Play" video on Waypoint that showcased the level ONI Alpha Site? They suggested to fight the Covenant off at the bridge instead of following orders and running away. I tried that after I saw and it was a blast to do, I did the same for the firefight before you go inside the building and it was awesome as well.

Edit: I'm totally trying Omega's idea when I play ODST again. That's and awesome thing to try!

Impossible. To get to ONI HQ you need to fight through a brute and some grunts to get to he beacon.

Ah that's a shame then. Couldn't you take them out without being detected though? Or is it in a tunnel? I don't really remember. Just started replaying the game.

Yeah it's in a tunnel. Pretty much all of the times I have played up to that point, you open the door and they immediately know you're there and start attacking/running away.

Have you seen my mind anywhere? I seem to have lost it...

I have seen you future

Here's one:

Resistance

On Mombasa streets (Legendary) kill patrols by setting traps for them without getting detected. Some examples would be blowing up objects, or setting up ambush points. Works well in co-op.

onyx, if you pull it off, you are god.


I did see that video, Along with the Halo 3 ones (The Pedestrian). I tried it on Easy and got demolished by the Banshees.

Another place is after Uplift Reserve, as you come back to the Rookie a Phantom flies overhead and drops off some Jackals right behind you. You can hide from the Phantom, but a Jackal Sniper on the ground egts you just as you start playing.

Ok, a minor one: Starting the game from Mombasa Streets, find every single beacon without using the waypoints. Easy if you've memorized the city's layout, but you'll have to explore a lot otherwise. Also, you can get the beacons in whatever order you want.

New Marathon? Thanks Bungie!

too many masochist modes here
