First i have one and only complaint about this game, this game should have been on the adons or games on demand on xboxlive and on disk form. thats the only thing i didint like. other than that ITS FREAKIN AWSOME. so what if your not a spartan. i really liked this game. it has a relly nice city that you can roam in. this game is a little harder than halo3 but if you can get 4 good players, you can easily beat this game on legendary. the new touch is the scilenced and scoped odst smg and the new silenced,scoped magnum. its not as powerful as the magnum in halo3 but if your stealthy you can kill alot of brutes. what doesnt makes sense is that you dont see any elite in this game. overall if you start the game beat it on legendary. you will get a nice reward for it.there is also a new thimg called firefight. its basiclly a survival game.it can play from 1 to 4 players.hoards of covenent forces attack you. you have to survive as long as you can. if you beat the campain on legendary, you can play as captain dare. shes really good because she has recon armor.she has better damage ressitance.That gives you the chance to beat firefight. You can also get new intel data on the main menu.If you have any more questons or comments about any vidiogame for xbox/360 ps2 ps3 my online xboxlive gamertag is Afroman726

Halo 3: ODST
A terribly expansive expansion that manages just fine without Master Chief
Jul 15, 2009
The Rookie spends the first two minutes of ODST having a nap, 60 seconds dropping to Earth and then the next six hours sleeping off the trip. He’ll spend the next few hours wishing he’d woken up a little faster. Frankly, he had it coming. ODST begins with a mystery and it’s the first of many. » Read Full Halo 3: ODST preview
Halo 3: ODST
The last "true" Halo ever
Dec 03, 2008
While Master Chief was off dishing out a beating to the Covenant on Delta Halo and High Charity in Halo 2, the Earth took a pounding from the Covenant while they set about digging up a Forerunner artifact buried in the African desert. It’s in the terrestrial side of the gap between Halo 2 and Halo 3 ODST is set, and in this gap the planetside war between UNSC and Covenant forces played out. » Read Full Halo 3: ODST preview
