    Halo 3: ODST

    Guess I should make a thread for this, and when it's unveiled a mod can just change the title of the thread.

    Countdown is up on Bungie.net. It ends at 10:07 a.m. EST tomorrow.

    This was up, but was quickly removed.




    Also, the rumor for what this game is.

    Gamespot

    She or he said that sometime this year, Bungie will announce a "darker, grittier" Halo game that doesn't feature the Master Chief at all.

    According to the source, the new Halo game will be a spin-off that resembles "a cross between Ghost Recon and Gears of War." It will reportedly tell a "less cartoony" and "more bloody, violent, and grim" tale of a battle between UNSC forces and the pan-racial religious empire known as the Covenant. The game's atmosphere was described as similar to that of the live-action Halo shorts directed by South African filmmaker Neil Blomkamp (pictured), who was to helm the now-stalled big-screen adaptation of the game.

    The source says that the upcoming Halo game is a tactical shooter that will follow a squad of colonial marines or orbital-drop shock troopers engaged in "intense" fighting on the ground. Gameplay details were scant, other than the fact that it will reportedly let gamers play as an entire squad in co-op mode through the entire campaign. The exact number of co-op players has yet to be finalized, but it could be as high as eight.

    As I said in the Halo thread...if it's a squad based tactical shooter I will preorder it the day it is announced.

      Darker is slightly appealing. Halo with a dark, Gears of War feel could really be a killer app for M$. Probably bring in more fans than any other.......

            If that was the same tease and what not Bungie had planned for E3, and I'm sure it is, then I see why MS dropped it. That told us nothing, and everyone would say "Halo 3" and probably hurt MS presser. On it's own event, Bungie can explain and let the 'Net go crazy on it for a few days/weeks.

                That's definitely a teaser and a confusing one at that.

                  Leaning towards ODST-based game, but seeing Halo 3 is really confusing.





                  The UNSC Marines' orbital insertion pod, the HEV, is more technically known as an SOEIV (Single Occupant Exo-atmospheric Insertion Vehicle). It's a rocket-propelled drop capsule vehicle designed to maximize the number of troops to successfully make stealth incursions into enemy territory from orbit. It is, however, a hazardous ride to the surface: it's common knowledge beyond even the Marines that volunteer for service in the ODST outfit that during all drop operations, a certain percentage are unlikely to make it down alive. They are a fiercely loyal and committed group; admired by many in the UNSC. HEV pods are assigned to individual ODSTs, and each pod is individually named for its occupant.

                  If a traditional troop-deployment method was used where landing zone intelligence was either lacking (or was in known hostile territory), a single dropship, such as a Pelican, could take enemy fire and all troops could be lost in one shot. With the HEVs, ODSTs can deploy to the surface in numbers equal to a traditional drop method, yet enhance their chances of success by presenting an enemy with multiple small targets rather than one larger one.

                    Maybe it's following alongside the Halo 3 storyline?

                    Or, it means "Drop..Halo 3" Meaning, this game will make you drop Halo 3?

                        So, it's Half Life Episode 2. Interesting.

                          Something like that. I'm thinking new Halo 3 campaign featuring ODST's.

                            So maybe I shouldn't sell my Halo 3 (which I haven't played in months) quite yet?
