This actually looks cool. I hated the single player in Halo games and only like the online, but this single player campaign looks good :O

This is like a firefly fans wet dream, i know it's mine. Nathan Fillon, Adam Baldwin and Alan Tudyk, good times shall be had by all.

To be honest  i wasn't really that bothered about this game; Halo 3 was good, but not good enough for me to think this would be any better. From this trailer it looks like it will be quite strategic and the bullets will have more of an impact, then add on the voice talents and we have a recipe for a potentially great game. This has suddenly jumped on my radar.

Don't quote me on this, but I
think you can play Campaign in co-op. Firefight, the new game mode, is all about co-op. Just think of it as this game's Horde or Nazi Zombies mode.

@Aaox:  Yeah, actually, I realized I was being kind of a lazy bastard by not finding this out for myself. It was pretty hard to nail down, but I found a preview that says that you can. Thanks though! :)

Firefly cast is really making me want this. Just don't know if its enough, it still looks a helluva lot like just ordinary halo.... which isn't necessarily bad but i'm a bit done with it.

halo odst is way better than halo 3. and i don't think 3 should be in the title because there ain't no fucking master chief. it takes place before halo 3, and everything is different.

Also, in case no one noticed that, in addition to the Firefly dudes, that's Tricia Helfer from Battlestar Galactica as Dare. Looks like she lent her likeness as well as her voice.

Seems like they're going the gears of war route and getting strong character relationships like delta squad. You could say it's unoriginal but it's still cool and more interesting than cortanas dribble.

It's practical, innit'? Instead of looking up charts and shit about them, just look at their armor!

And also, I'm incredibly stoked about this game! This trailer only made me want it even more.

Wow, this looked awesome. Makes me disagree with what Ryan and Jeff said, that a Halo game without Master Chief will suck. This looks better and more engaging than all the previous games combined!

ODST looks to finally fulfill the promise of that 2004 Halo 2 E3 demo. A Halo game with a truely open-world to explore... and Nathan Fillion.

Campaign is strictly single player, so Firefight is the only way to get your coop fix. I heard Joseph Staten say this in an IGN demo.

Because Halo is small time stuff. "
He could do better than Halo Gaiden, yes. He should be starring in movies by now. His charisma feels a little wasted here is all.He's not even the PC, you play some mute like in a mid 90s RPG or something. I think he could do better than playing second fiddle to a mute in a spinoff 360 game, yes.

im surprised that they actually were able to make this look good. It went from a defiinite no to a (possible) buy.

I guess bungie advert team knows what they're doing... still, naming a game Halo: Reach made me lawl!

This video makes me want this game SO freaking bad. Almost like watching an episode of Firefly while playing Halo, but it's all condensed into the same time.

Probably one of the best trailers I've seen this year. Very well done, and got me pretty interested in the game to boot.
