Link for download from Bungie.net. Watched it, disappointed it wasn't like the first two, but good insight nonetheless.

Im going to go ahead and assume that "the Rookie" is the new hero and all that jazz... But is "the Rookie" going to get a (new, or other) name by the end of the game?

"The Rookie" just doesnt have the same "Im going to stomp your face in and teabag it" effect that "Master Chief" does.

Besides, he cant be a rookie forever, if this is in fact going to become a new mutli-titled IP.

P.S. Im usually pretty good at keeping off of the Hype Train, but this game has seriously got its hooks in me.

who the hell said it was? This was obviously never intended to be a new IP, especially since it cant be a new IP, ever.

Alright, it cant be a new IP, youre right. However it IS a spin-off, and the question stands.

well, they said Reach will be their last Halo game, and although they've said similar things before, i cant really see them going back to ODST after Reach, especially since the vidocs of ODST seem to suggest the ending will have more than a little finality to it

Well, the only multi-player associated with this game is Firefight, so you can only tea bag your dead teammates.

ill admit it, these recent videos (especially the live action one) have really turned my head, and feelings on this game. i thought i was done with halo, but these just make this next installment look so good.

Video IS available now and because of this video, I NOW want to play ODST. I wasn't even on the fence before but now, I'm on the complete other side of it.

I can't wait to play this. This game seems like what I was hoping Halo 2 was going to progress into!

Anyone else think the visor mode thingy in ODST looks a lot like detective mode in Batman? Given both started about the same time I wonder what th eoriginal inspiration was.

Yeah they do seem similar, but I think it's a coincidence. I mean other games have used "enhanced vision" in one form or another.

me neither.

but what i hate, is that they're added the cliche-as-fuck overused BLOOD RED shit that invades the screen when you get hit. It's fucking obnoxious and has been done to death. It's like the game is typing IN ALL CAPS. HEY BUDDY - YOU JUST GOT FUCKIN HIT. JUMP THE FUCK BACK!!!! With a short campaign, i'll be playing on legendary fairly quickly, and seeing that shit every 5 seconds is going to make me sick...not only is it annoying, it destroys the beauty of the textures and environments...

Yeah I don't really care about no dual wielding. And taking out the BR is fine by me, we still have the carbine and the new pistol looks awesome. Plus they put the red plasma rifle back, hopefully it still eats through shields like there's no tomorrow.

i dunno, i like mixing and matching the weapons. brute plasma rifle + SMG was my favorite, it raped people. dual needlers were fun, too. EAT PINK, BITCH.

Hmmm, ya know I have been on the fence about this game. But it seems to really offer something fresh here. I will keep my eyes open on the reviews, but I am leaning more towards "buy" as of late.

Paul Bertone also doesn't like the battle rifle, and that's at least partially the reason why it isn't in ODST. This begs the question of whether it will be in Reach.

Well, i'm not a big halo fan. Halo 3 was fun but it got old too fast for me to truly enjoy the game. My co-worker has played Halo 3 ODST's new firefight mode and he says it's just feels like a whole new game. You're no longer a walking tank that can kill people as if through you were god. This game has gone from a rent to a buy for me. The hype train is in full speed! :O

I loved the first Halo, hated Halo 3, so this I'm looking forward to. Looks like fun.

A little bit of the rip on Halo 3 going on when they say "take that 30 seconds of fun and do it over and over again".

No, the "30 seconds of fun" line has been used by them before.

It's almost the studio's "Halo mantra".


It actually has nothing to do with Halo 3 specifically... good or bad.

How has this map not been remade?

Does anybody know if they will be adding any new character models or armour pieces to the multiplayer when this comes out? It would be nice to have some nods to ODST during the multi' sessions.

Sucks to be me.....

I pre-ordered this bad boy but will be on a beeniss trip all week. Be home Friday and then I leave to go to a college football game on Saturday.

Oh well, she will be waiting for me when I get home.

Can't complain too much....I get to go to Greece for a week in October for work.

....I love my job.

Oh, and, "I start fighting a war. I guarantee you'll see something new."
