Re: Halo 3: ODST

Watched the long version of the real time video "We Are ODST" on XBL. WOW!!! Please make a Halo movie and have it look like that. I'd be all over it.

Just watched this also and agree 100% EG!

Re: Halo 3: ODST

just called my store where they get all the releases early they said they might get it in today i am debating tho if i want it or not because it dont look much different then halo 3. its weird tho they always get games at least a week early but odst seems late i guess MS is very strict on this. i remember getting batman 2 weeks early.

damn it; i keep going back and forth on halo odst and demon souls

knowing me ill probably end up getting both. will let you know with impressions if i decide to go get it.

Re: Halo 3: ODST

1UP's Listen UP podcast talks about ODST. Starts at 34:54 and there's no real spoilers. Reviews hit tomorrow.

It sounds so awesome. Something new that's mention is since it's parallel to Halo 2, as you progress you will see events off in the distance and say to yourself - hey, I remember that. They talk about just how much of a different experience it is compared to previous Halo games with hub world and non linearity story structure. Being afraid to encounter enemies in the hub world, because your so much weaker than Master Chief. Enemies that you can't run from like you could before, so a lot encounters you have to sweat out much more. Parrish said the hub world really surprised him, and he went back into it after completing the game and spent hours just exploring and finding all the secrets that are hidden away. Also, they say story is far more successful than Halo 3 and by the end some really cool things happen.

Bungie Weekly Update

The rules were simple:

Four man teams, no warm-ups, on Heroic difficulty. Since Crater (Night) was the only map showing up on the live side (as some of you have already noticed), all the games took place in Dare’s darkened crash site. Oh, and there was a thirty minute time limit in place.

Here are the four teams and their Firefight breakdowns.

Ken Taya, Matt Bennier, Cameron Pinard, and Lars Bakken

"I would like to point out that we were the only team that managed to survive up to the 30 minute cutoff, which is probably why we won. Of course, the only reason we made it that far was because of Ken "Hero" Taya for bringing the team back from the brink. I don't care what anyone else on the team says. You are my Hero, Ken." - Lars Bakken, Neurosurgeon with the M6C.

"As our team's weakest link, I am going to blame my teammates for the trouncing of our competition. Ken gets extra props for a crazy clutch Hero moment. I'm sure Team Longshore is ready to step once more into the breach and again crush the competition. " - Cameron 'get rockets at any cost' Pinard

“What can I say? We had the winning combo. Lars was point with pistol and plasma, ready to take down Engineers at a moment’s notice. Ken and Cam covered the high ground and defended it like it was their homeland. As for myself, I mostly played the part of distraction in the pit luring the attention of any Chieftain or Hunter within line of sight. If there was a medal for how many Chieftains you could get to activate their invulnerability and not get destroyed in the process, I’d have too many to count.” - Matt Bennier, Agro Activator

Ben Thompson, Christian Diefenbach, Dave Candland, and Josh Rodgers

“The key to a good game of Firefight on Crater (Night) is to always have somebody with a plasma pistol and a rocket launcher. On Heroic you can 2-shot Brute Chieftains with a charged plasma pistol shot followed by a rocket. Also with crater night having one person always carrying around a plasma pistol means that you should be able to clear engineers very quickly. If you have some extra rocket ammo, keep your eyes peeled for those free points when a dozen grunts and jackals are dropped in the middle. Finally, as the person on plasma pistol and rocket launcher duty you can round off your killing potential with some time on the turret. In later waves, feel free to rip that sucker off its stand for some fun times.” – Ben

David Aldridge, Luke Timmins, Brad Fish, and Paul Lewellen

“We demand a rematch. Brad was drunk, and Aldridge lost his temper and kept screaming at Paul to ‘sack up.’ We just had a bad game all around.” – Luke Timmins

Dave Lieber, Pat Jandro, Javier, Chris Alderson

“I would like to point out that the 3d art contractors that were playing before our sucky mcfailfail team totally looked like they were doing worse off than us. Non-score-reporters, Fail!

P.S. And in related news, Bungie is always hiring talented 3d artists (to provide low scores to make my own look better). Also, I blame teammate Chris Alderson for ever making that damn Engineer…" -Dave Lieber

“Chris was too busy admiring art! Pat was too busy throwing grenades at teammates, and Dave, well, he was just Dave. Word of advice… get rid of those damn Engineers!” – Javier
