HALO 3 ODST

Review: Halo 3 ODST

There's something I need to get off my chest, simply because I am so thoroughly overjoyed words can hardly describe: the pistol zoom is back in Halo, baby! Ref. Source 4

ODST HALO

My youngest son is wanting this game pretty badly. I do not know if we will get it for him this christmas or not.

In the trailer for Halo ODST they actually use some real scenes by actors and not just animation, really cool.

That would be nice to see real actors and not all of this animation that we see all the time.

About 2.5 million people have bought the latest Halo 3: ODST game ($60, for Xbox 360) since it was released two weeks ago, a nice reception for a game that doesn't star Halo main man, the Master Chief. Instead, players control a squad of futuristic special forces known as Orbital Drop Shock Troopers (ODSTs) deployed to fight off the enemy forces of The Covenant attacking Earth. Ref. Source 7

HALO 3 ODST

I've played the game at my daughter's house a little bit.

It is very nice to play. The weapons are pretty much the same as in Halo 3. There are a few differences, including a couple of enhancements that the marines have that the Master Chief did not have. It has a strong built-in map feature, with the ability to pace waypoints to help guide the player. It also has some in-game mini-plays that the player can access, that are interesting but not necessary to the story.

The feature that my sons and son-in-law really like is a "Firefight" where two players fight against waves of enemy combatants. A couple of days ago, they brought two XBox 360's to our house, connected them, and four of them played Firefight at once. They sure seemed to have a lot of fun.

I tend to play the campaigns on these games, so that I learn all of the different weapons well. I haven't played multiplayer on either Halo 3 or ODST yet, but I am sure I will one day soon.

Overall, I really like this game.

The meaning of "ODST" itself stands for Orbital Drop Shock Trooper.
