I want this. It looks like its going to be amazing.

Also wallpaper.

[ExAm]

When did they change the name?

[Heathen]

Way to be tardy to the party Exam.

[Hotrod]

When did they change the name?
About a month ago or so?

And the three concepts of the ODST armors make me want this even more than before...

[Disaster]

I'm working on the SMG atm. I had previously modeled a h3 one so I just have to upgrade it :)

Am I the only one who finds this to look really out-of-place?

[dark57]

ya the body looks cool but the helmet is....weird.

[Terry]

Am I the only one who finds this to look really out-of-place?

Yeah, it just looks so wierd. :| Do not like.

[Hotrod]

I agree, that helmet just doesn't fit. Maybe it'd look a bit better if they changed the visor to blue instead of gold...

Then again, it could be just because we're used to it being a MJOLNIR armor variant, and not an ODST helmet.

[dark57]

to me it looks to big and it looks like its from another picture.

[Inferno]

I think I see flash bang grenades on the side of that Armour.

[jngrow]

I don't think it looks weird.

[DEElekgolo]

I think its just that the lighting it different.

[TeeKup]

Ranged ODST. DO WANT.

[ICEE]

It looks like a COG to me

[dark57]

I think its just that the lighting it different.
true itll probably look better ingame

Whats with the green ball in the stomach armer?

[Limited]

His shoulders look weird as hell. like he has two lol.

I thought the name was "Halo: OSDT"...is it really "Halo 3: ODST"??

[El Lobo]

How does it look at all like he has two shoulders? The black part is his shoulder, the blue is part of the harness/armor he is wearing.

Yes but look at the boldge for his shoulder, then follow that to the head, looks off. Unless he has some weirdly shaped traps.

[Heathen]

It is Halo 3: ODST.
And the green thing is a Dragon ball.

[NuggetWarmer]

How could you mess that up?

[Saggy]

Tbh, I think the game should be called Halo: ODST

The game barely has anything to do with Halo 3 (except that it uses the same engine), but it is still a Halo game. Just my opinion.

[ExAm]

Probably something similar to the Trojan crotch-clock :downs:

[Limited]

Halo 3: ODST sounds like an addon to the game, I got the impression from the video that it was a new game. Also the previous name was Halo: Recon, no number included.

Actually it was Halo 3: Recon.

It's an expansion pack, and has the exact same multiplayer. I agree that it'd sound better without the 3, but hey, that's how it is.

No, like I said, it's an expansion back, and the old name was Halo 3 : Recon, check the trailer again.

[DarkHalo003]

This looks impressive; I hope they really expand the importance and types of marines in this game, considering you are one. I hope the Brutes and Hunters also are able to pick you up like Bungie said they originally would in Halo3....that would just be awesome.

[Limited]

Actually it was Halo 3: Recon.
Fuck, your right :P

[Heathen]

its PART of halo 3 if I am not mistaken...like an expansion.

[DarkHalo003]

its PART of halo 3 if I am not mistaken...like an expansion.
They're using the same Halo3 Engine to create an "expansion," but the game uses the same Multiplayer and only has 6 campaign levels, therefore it won't be a fully priced game. It'll be around $40.

[Heathen]

Yeah. Thought so. I think some people have their hopes WAY to high.

[Hotrod]

...and only has 6 campaign levels...
Not quite, it's an open world, until you find the area where your squadmates died, where you play in a flashback of what happened to them. So, technically, there aren't any campaign levels.

[Heathen]

he is right dark

[dark57]

Link to were it says this please.

Gameplay


ODST has the main protagonist, The Rookie, searching for beacons across the city of New Mombasa [10] (http://halo.wikia.com/wiki/Halo_3:_ODST#cite_note-Game_Informer_December_.2708_page_3-9). It is up to the player how they get to the specific location, and in what order, giving the game a very open-world feeling to the game; something for which the main trilogy has been criticized on for linear gameplay. It's likely that these "beacons" are drop pods with a locating device on them. Finding one of these objects sends the player back in the game to find out what happened to one of his four squadmates (Mickey (http://halo.wikia.com/wiki/Mickey), Dutch (http://halo.wikia.com/wiki/Dutch), Romeo (http://halo.wikia.com/wiki/Romeo), and Buck (http://halo.wikia.com/wiki/Buck)) [10] (http://halo.wikia.com/wiki/Halo_3:_ODST#cite_note-Game_Informer_December_.2708_page_3-9). Once you go back in time for a short period, you will take control of the player for around thirty minutes, and play the situations that the particular character went through. Unlike the overall game, these flashback scenes go along the path of the linear gameplay that has been common throughout the original trilogy of Halo.


The source that was used for that is the 2008 issue of Game Informer.

[dark57]

Ok thanks I just hadn't read that before.

[sevlag]

it makes it sound like an interactive story, not a game

[FireDragon04]

When I read the information about the gameplay/progression of Halo 3: ODST, i felt like it sounded a little bit like the New Prince of Persia, which lets you choose where to go then play a linear section to progress to the boss then collect the light orbs in your chosen order.
I personally am looking forward to Halo 3: ODST even more because of the changes to the linear-ness of previous Halo games and shooters in general.

Hope we find/get to see more of the game soon.

[Pooky]

GUYS LINES ARE BAD HALO IS BAD

Seriously, what the fuck kind of criticism is 'linearity'?

[Rentafence]

Oh well thank goodness. I was hoping for some scatter-plot gameplay.

[El Lobo]

Yes but look at the boldge for his shoulder, then follow that to the head, looks off. Unless he has some weirdly shaped traps.

Nope still not getting it. He has a shoulder, and then his armor, and then his head.

Do you even know what linearity means
Halo is a very linear shooter in that it gives you fewer choices than others
He was just stating this
Calm down, fanboy

[t3h m00kz]

All I know is I'm not gonna speculate too deeply or let myself get overhyped like I did for Halo 3's multiplayer.

God was it a disappointment.

[Limited]

Yeah. Thought so. I think some people have their hopes WAY to high.
Looks like my hopes have been pulverised into the ground. Whats the point in making a half arsed attempt of a game?

Either its off, or the lighting is messed.

Linear = of, consisting of, or using lines

Linearity = the property, quality, or state of being linear.

Halo is a very cinematic game experience where you run along a linear path gunning down bad guys in carefully thought out encounters. How, exactly, is this a bad thing? Why do people need so much fucking freedom of choice anyway? Open world games like GTA and Fable are fun for what they are, but they rarely have the same kind of beautifully crafted encounters and emotional pacing that linear games like Halo do.

Try to at least think about what you say before getting your panties in a bunch and running your mouth.

...It is up to the player how they get to the specific location, and in what order, giving the game a very open-world feeling to the game; something for which the main trilogy has been criticized on for linear gameplay...

Notice how I was commenting on this. It's an asinine statement anyway, encounters in Halo generally give you at least 3 different ways to approach them.

[sevlag]

anyone else notice that the ODST helmet looks like the Recon helmet >.>

[Sever]

No, the Recon helmet looks like a Recon helmet, while the ODST helmet looks like an ODST helmet. That's not a normal ODST in the quite-discussed picture seen above, it's a soldier wearing a Recon Helmet, most likely just done for concept art.

[armoman92]

looks cool.

but i HATE the fingers, omfg. Why cant he be wearing gloves. They exposed fingers ruin everything for me.

[Hotrod]

I agree, I very much prefer the gloved hands. In plus, aren't the suits supposed to be able to be used in space? If the suit isn't sealed, that won't work too well...

[TeeKup]

That sky elevator pic looked amazing.

Additionally, your 1 point retaliation rep didn't hurt very much :saddowns:

his thighs look very Mjolnir-y.

It'd be funny if that green thing turned out to be a shield generator

[sevlag]

It'd be funny if that green thing turned out to be a shield generatoroh god no, tired of shields on CE ODST bipeds as it is

[English Mobster]

It's easy enough to get rid of CE's shields on ODSTs anyway, isn't it? I mean, it's just a couple changes in the collision geometry...

[t3h m00kz]

Pretty much, yeah.

I'm suprised I haven't seen more no-shield maps around.

[Inferno]

Or you just make a game type with out shields.
