    Halo 3: ODST

    Game » consists of 10 releases. Released Sep 22, 2009

    Taking place during the events of Halo 2, Halo 3: ODST puts players in the shoes of a silent Orbital Drop Shock Trooper (known as the Rookie) as he traverses through the Covenant-occupied metropolis of New Mombasa to find the whereabouts of his missing squadmates.

    Looks like this image of some E3 promotional thing for OSDT has leaked out. It depicts the squad of ODST's you'll be playing during the game.


    No Caption Provided
    They all have different weapons, as you'll notice- Silenced SMG, Sniper Rifle, Rocket Launcher, Pistol (lol), and Assault Rifle. You'll be playing all of these characters via flashbacks, so the weapon selection points towards each flashback having a different focus, which should lend some nice diversity to the proceedings. The main character, The Rookie, is the one on the right if I am correct.

    The character wearing the Recon helmet is A LADY also, which is interesting- we've never seen much of a competent woman in the HALO series (Miranda Keyes definitely doesn't count), so it should be interesting to see how they handle that.

    Here's a quote form the Game Informer article that teels us this:
    “What the hell kind of armor was she wearing?” asks an Orbital Drop Shock Trooper in regards to a new female soldier who recently arrived on the ship.
    Several sites are running live demos of ODST this E3 (Gamespot and Gametrailers), so we should know a lot more about what it is and how it plays in a week.

    Master Chief is hidden in one of those buildings in the background, tied to a bed  with a gag in his mouth.

    And if he isn't, he should be.

    Neat, but no one can pull off the "faceless protagonist" act like Master Chief did. I was hoping to actually know who my characters are, this time.

    Umm... they're ODSTs.  
    But as you'd expect, the rocket guy carries around heavy gear and has a big backpack type thing, etc.

    I doubt that will ever happen, although I could also imagine if that did happen, the Live servers would be shitting bricks for a week.

    Gamespot, IGN and a couple others will be streaming live demos, so we'll at least be able to see how it plays, but it's unlikely anything will be put on Live, as this isn't expected to release until at least September.

    Tricia Helfer(cylon Caprica from Battlestar Galactica) plays the female squad member named Dare.

    and how I miss it.  Why not have a badass pistol in your game?  If they brought back the old pistol I would be back online in a heartbeat.

    Yeah, they made a particular point of showing that off during the E3 Microsoft press conference.
