Product Description
Halo 3 ODST - 360 Game
Amazon.com Product Description
Developed exclusively for Xbox 360 by acclaimed developer Bungie, Halo 3: ODST is a new, stand-alone expansion to the Halo saga that lets players experience the events leading up to the epic story told in Halo 3 through the eyes of an entirely new character the ODST (Orbital Drop Shock Trooper), as they search for clues leading to the whereabouts of their scattered squad and the motivations behind the Covenant's invasion of New Mombasa. The game adds a new dimension to an all-encompassing universe that gamers around the world have known and loved since the release of the first Halo game in late 2001.

Much more than an expansion, Halo 3: ODST allows players to explore dangerous new ground, search the dark, abandoned streets of New Mombasa for clues, and fight back against the Covenant invasion from multiple perspectives. Dropping in as "the rookie," a new member of an elite squad of Orbital Drop Shock Troopers (ODST) sent into New Mombasa on a classified recon mission, you'll be armed with specialized weaponry and upgraded technology, including silenced weapons and a VISR enhanced vision mode. Separated from your squad, you'll have to scour the city for clues in order to learn what happened to Buck, Dare, Dutch, Mickey, and Romeo. As you collect new clues, you’ll experience the story from their perspectives, fighting through the occupied city hours earlier. A New Way to Play: 4-Player Co-op Firefight
Drop feet first into a new way to play Halo with the cooperative campaign mode, Firefight. Form a squad of your friends over System Link or Xbox LIVE and put your skills to the ultimate test against the invading Covenant war machine for glory, high scores, and achievements. Do battle in multiple environments, on foot or in vehicles, and against increasingly difficult waves of Covenant attackers while Halo 3's skull modifiers progressively activate to up the ante. After the Firefight, relive and review every last kill you earned and see how your high scores and stats stack up against your friends' and the community overall using Bungie.net's persistent online stats and Firefight leaderboards. 3 New Halo 3 Maps
Three all-new maps make their debut for Halo 3's traditional, chart-topping multiplayer. Heretic, Longshore, and Citadel drop in alongside the original Halo 3 multiplayer maps, all packed in and playable from one standalone disc. Twenty-four maps in all, including the Heroic, Legendary, Cold Storage, and Mythic Map Packs, provide a peerless multiplayer experience, near limitless content creation and customization via the Forge and Sandbox, and a slew of new multiplayer achievements for Halo 3. New Challenges and Achievements
For the first time, Recon Armor for use in Halo 3 multiplayer will be made available to players who complete the "Road to Recon" challenge. Earn all seven of the Vidmasters, a series of Xbox LIVE achievements that span Halo 3's Campaign and Multiplayer and Halo 3: ODST, and then visit your Bungie.net Service Record with a linked gamertag to enable your sweet new set of digital duds. If you already own Halo 3, you can get started now by collecting the "Annual" campaign achievement and the "7 on the 7th" and "Lightswitch" multiplayer achievements in matchmaking. And, if you've already downloaded the Mythic Map Pack, you can collect the hidden skulls on Assembly, Orbital, and Sandbox today. Community Features
4-Player co-op experience over Xbox LIVE or System Link, screenshots, saved films, custom Halo 3 multiplayer map and game variants via the Forge…all of the award-winning features included in Halo 3 are packed into Halo 3: ODST with an extra 1,750 available achievement points piled on for good measure. And Halo 3: ODST introduces an all-new single player experience with new characters, new weapons and technology, and the frenetic cooperative experience, Firefight, an entirely unique way to play Halo. Bungie.net Integration
What good is winning if you can't brag about it to your friends? Extend your gaming experience beyond the console with Bungie.net's expansive integration. All of your lifetime stats are aggregated into your online Service Record - every last kill, every single medal, and your entire collection of career post game carnage reports, plus robust charts, graphs, and leaderboards allow you to instantly see how you stack up against the rest of your squad and the Halo 3: ODST community at large. Invitation to the Halo: Reach Beta
As an added benefit of buying Halo 3: ODST players receive an invitation to participate in the Halo: Reach multiplayer beta due to hit Xbox LIVE in 2010. Halo: Reach is Microsoft Game Studios and Bungie's upcoming prequel to the events of the original Halo: Combat Evolved game. Based on Eric Nylund's novel "The Fall of Reach," it is packed with details surrounding the origins of the Sparten II soldiers, of which Master Chief was only one of many and the beginnings of the conflict with the Covenant and the Flood. If you want in, hold onto your copy of Halo 3: ODST and stay tuned to Bungie.net and Xbox.com for more details. |

So the single player campaign is kinda lame, doesn't ever feel as epic as any of the previous Halos. The levels are mostly things we've seen before, i.e. one where you are underground, one where you drive a tank on a highway etc... also the main city is very repetative. I could live with all that, but the biggest flaw is the lack of match-making in firefight. I mean, they hype up firefight as this awesome addition, which really would have been a great element in the game, BUT I HAVE YET TO PLAY IT ONLINE. Of course when I log on a few friends are playing but they're always in the middle of a game and don't want to restart. F that I am not waiting an hour until they finally die and probably wont want to play again. F you Bungie for shipping an incomplete game and charging people $60 for it. They should offer a free trade of my worthless ODST for Reach when it comes out.
 Great addition November 19, 2009
Adam Crabtree
I enjoyed all the Halo games thoroughly, and this one hangs with them all. I am a terrible multiplayer, so I usually buy and play these for the single player campaign content. This is a lot shorter than previous Halo's in that regard, but very worthy and enjoyable.
Solid Game November 19, 2009
David
Pretty good game. Story is a little short, but is pretty interesting. Firefight can be pretty fun with friends also.
Remember this is an expansion November 18, 2009
Ryan M. Abell
There is a reason this game has been discounted. Because this is not a full game. If you look past that, it is an enjoyable 3-4hrs of entertainment. The story of this game is told better than in other Halo Games. It gives you a larger perspective on the Halo Universe. I would recommend buying this game for any Halo fan at the discounted price, not at the full $59.99 price since it is not as expansive as other games at that price point.
Rip Off November 18, 2009

Halo 3 ODST is a waste of money. This should have been an expansion pack. Bungie has really went downhill. I don't play this game because it is not even fun. It is pathetic. Infinity Ward is definitely the elite game studio, followed by Treyarch, for first person shooters. Call of Duty is a fantastic series that gets better with every release. Halo gets worse.
