I know what's under there...

Either bring lots of beer or tell her to keep the helmet on.

The portion of the trailer where the HUD is all glowing with yellow outlines makes it look an awful like Star Wars: Republic Commando.

Its the glow in the dark visor. It outlines every object. Green for your team, red for enemies, and standard orange for objects.

There is a 2 part demo on IGN with that guy from Bungie playing the first level.
At the begining when the ODST get to drop in mombasa you can see Dare and (i think) Dutch without their visors....

EDIT:It was Joe Staten playing and it was Dare and Buck.
And if i saw correctly Dare has short blonde hair and either black or brown eyes....Was kinda hard to see.

I wasn't talking about halo:odst, that picture is for halo reach. You can clearly see that the larger figure is a spartan and the rest are marines.

I spy a Red vs Blue joke.

I'm looking forward to reach, it would be nice to fight a losing battle.

Maybe you would play as MC and manage to escape?

Not only that but Romeos chestplate is blue and Mickeys is red....XD


I got to ask this it has been buging me whole day...
Am i the only one who didnt notice a single elite in all of the footage for halo 3 ODST????????

There are not going to be elites in ODST.

And the flood

Why the hell not?
I understand why there are no flood.
But why no elites?
Could it be that the covies sent all of the freakin elites they have to delta halo at that moment???Just because at that time the elites were still the prophets main guardians???

I don't like it either.

Because Brutes and Elites have conflict, and dont work well together in battle. And setting up 2 main soldiers in the encounters would be dum.

Well then they should have given us Elites instead.

Id rather have Brutes.

Maybe its also because they never made the elites to do anything else but be your allies. There are probably no other animations for it to use. And they probably didnt wanna make new AI for the elites, to be your enemies.

They dont need to make a new AI for that. They just change the team and thats all.

Not exactly. They would need to be able to get in vehicles, have new dialogue, command grunts, etc.

I bet you anything that someone from somewhere will have started thinking of re-creating Halo : Odst now that we've seen the previews.

In Halo CE you mean?

Isnt that everyone who has modeled the new SMG? Or the new pistol (CAD and Rob)

In Halo3 they can already get in vehicles.

And anyway, advancebo just said "....to be your enemies" , he didnt specify :)

Nah man they would just suck if you threw them on the Covenant team without any new dialogue, updated AI styles, Zealot Styles and the works. It would just be like another Human VS Elite mod, but this time they're less numerouser and dumber than ever.

If you kill enough Elites on your side in Halo 3 they fight against you. And are a lot more difficult and interesting to fight than Brutes. They have no bugs or anything while shooting at you, they do the same moves from Halo CE (i.e move from side to side a lot)

Actually Ive seen how they completely own a full pack of brutes in Legendary...so yeah they arent as dumb as you say. Actually i would prefer having 1 elite insted of 4 marines

Yeah but I wouldn't. Even on legendary, they melee each other like dumb apes and have stuck me an uncountable amount of times. They're not necessarily 'dumb', they're just downgraded Halo 2 elites. And as for them "owning" brutes, the brutes have done so quite often themselves, so it's a 50-50 chance with those maroons.

Don't get in the way of the grenade then.

Buckle in and prepare to fire
Redid the reticle, this one is actual size now. And did the scope mask


Fubar HUD, was moving everything to the top left anchor.

That vid made ODST 3x more epic. 4 player campaign and able to roam freely? awesome.

Why is every video of firefight I've seen 3rd person? I understand that their trying to show it off, but its making me mad.
