This is quite funny actually, reading all those articles about Halo 3 in times past with people saying 'Grr! I hate it, don't believe the hype.'
Now everyone's going 'Woot, ODST.' (except the OP)
I am looking forward to it, however. I also liked Halo 3 although it was overhyped, it was still awesome.

I like that by playing as a normal human you can't exploit the jumping advantages you had as Master Chief. It will make dealing with Hunters a heck of a lot more difficult.
That is genuinely odd. Getting exited by a trailer then loosing that excitement when you see the second, cooler half.Doc Theta Sigma said:
This game isn't really a filling-in-the-gaps story, it's more like if Tolkien decided to write about what the Dwarves in Erebor were doing while Frodo was walking towards Mordor. And I'd like to hear that story, sadly we shall never but at least Halo 3: ODST is coming (yay! Halo).
Didn't even give the opening cutscene a chance. For shamemokes310 said:
Was answered? More like "is slowly being answered."Trivun said:
As for Johnson, Keyes, and the Arbiter they just took a ship. Really not much to tell but I guess they could have a few adventures, certainly not worth a whole book or game though.
And Crow's Nest (the bunker in Mount Kilimanjaro) was as described by a marine: "built for some 20th century war". Probably more like early 21st century but I don't think he really cares that much as it's 2553 and humanity is in danger of extinction.
I used to be into Halo, now I can't remember the last time I played Halo 3, I don't really care what happens in this game when this comes out, and if I do, I'll just read a plot synopsis somewhere.
The trailers are great, they look awesome, but it takes a bit more than pretty graphics to get me by the short ones.Eldritch Warlord said:
I really do hope that the game is good for all of the Halo fans out there...I'm tired of seeing Halo-jumpers playing CoD 4
I hope they make It Ghost-Recon-y. That would be awesome, as well as bloody difficult. Maybe you could take a couple of low-power shots on your armour, a couple of stimms to keep you going, but in the end, you will be broken and bruised and limping as the reinforcements arive. That would be epic. I love the ODST. I went and bought the action figure specially. He is sitting in a cabinet (or rather, standing). He looks happy. Or, at least he would, if you could see past the visor.
But this will hopefully be good. And have Nathan Fillion, Adam Baldwin and Alan Tudyk in it again.
And there wasn;t really any invasion, as I understand it. Earth just got bombed back to the stone age. There are 500 000 humans left. Out of (presumably) 10+ billion.
And the Voi base was for the cold war. I think thats what they're trying to get at...

I care but not on the scale of halo 3, it was a good game but this is only basicly an expansion not worth getting thrills over
What? I meant the opening cutscene of Halo 2, it's longer than 5 minutes. Sort of a joke you see? A person writing off a game (and a sequel to a game he loved no less) before he even starts playing. Sort of a humorous occurrence and not entirely true I'll wager. Or if you skipped the opening and went straight into gameplay all you're doing is the tutorial level. Or in yet another scenario you play on co-op and skip into gameplay, you're playing the "get used to the game" level. Not really a terrific indicator of how good the game is or what direction it's taking.mokes310 said:
Sort of funny no matter what you meant, when I make the joke out of it and assuming you were indulging in hyperbole.
If it's true it's simply sad. Poor mokes310, he does not know the joy, he killed it from his heart before it blossomed!
No there was invasion, they only bombed major population centers and strategic targets as the Covenant didn't want to damage Earth more than necessary (so several large communities still survived). The human population was reduced to about half a billion (not even nearly the closest humanity has been to extinction, at one point in prehistory there were no more than 12 fertile females on Earth).Madrak the Red said:
Personally I do care, but I am going to laugh my ass off if reviewers bash it for trying something different. I mean I'm guessing there's going to be an emphasis on stealth given that they give you a silenced SMG and also the fact you're an ODST, which, while badass, is not near-immortal like a Spartan.
As I total fanboy myself, I care.
I guess part of me really hopes that it won't suck as much as Halo 3's campaign did. While I love the multiplayer and am on XBL with it frequently, the campaign definitely let the game down. ODST is a shot at redemption for the storyline.
I'm also looking forward to seeing the Halo universe from the perspective of an ODST.
