Oh, I'll SMOKE it, Joe...
Posted By: Urban ReflexDate: 1/19/09 5:14 p.m.

In Response To: Joseph Staten talks ODST (2900d4u)


"Basically, Halo 3: ODST happens while the Chief is away from Earth -- after he leaves for the "Delta Halo" in Halo 2 and before he crashes into the jungle at the start of Halo 3. ODST doesn't cover all the Chief's absence. But it does fill a very interesting part of that gap."

Guess we don't get to find out how Keyes, Johnson, and the Arbiter all make it back to Earth before the Chief then :(

"Is there a villain in this new storyline?
Yes, but like the Chief, the Rookie never meets him. Put that in your speculation pipe and smoke it, Halo fans!"

Hmmm. Could the story be told from the villian's perspective perhaps? A brute or elite commander? Regret? Truth?

"Because ODST leverages the Halo 3 sandbox, there will be a lot of returning weapon favorites. But given the game's position on the Halo timeline, we're also bringing back...Well, on second thought, I'd ruin a lot of the game's fun if I got too specific."

M6D? M6C? Brute plasma rifle?

"Again, I don't want to ruin any surprises, but I can clarify a misstatement in [a recent Game Informer] article. There are actually more than four beacons, and once you find the first one you're pretty much free to roam the dark, Covenant-patrolled streets of New Mombasa however you like - free to find the remaining clue beacons in any order you choose."

*joygasm* Can't wait to 4 player co-op this and use proper tactics to flank and take down enemies.
