Halo 3: ODST is Bungie's newly released first-person shooter.You are the Rookie, an Orbital Drop Shock Trooper deployed to New Mombasa in Africa at the same time the Master Chief is fighting there in Halo 2. The Prophet of Regret's ship enters slipspace as your pod falls to earth, and the ensuing blast throws the city into disarray and separates you from the other four members of your squad. You wake up at night in the city, and are tasked with finding clues in the open world to the whereabouts of the rest of the squad, and relive their experiences through playable flashbacks.HOLY SHIT

Halo 3: ODST comes with two discs. One contains the ODST campaign, and a Horde-esque co-operative multiplayer mode for four people called Firefight. As time progresses, gameplay modifiers are added such as the enemies throwing more grenades or your HUD vanishing. If the team wipes, it's game over.
The second disc (known as Halo 3:Mythic) contains the standard Halo 3 multiplayer that we know and love, as well as all previous free and paid DLC maps. Also included are three new maps, Citadel, Longshore and Heretic. This disc is fully compatible with anyone playing vanilla Halo 3 multiplayer and has all the features you'd expect except for the Halo 3 campaign.
Still confused? Charts usually solve that problem - at least, for me.

Halo Wars is a real-time strategy game developed by Ensemble, the company behind Age of Empires. It takes place before the events of Halo: Combat Evolved, and tells the story of the previous Arbiter of the Covenant and the battle for control of the planet Harvest. The Covenant have uncovered a Forerunner artifact that leads to a site now occupied by humans. After travelling from planet to planet, a plot is uncovered that could threaten the survival of humanity.

If you want to view the newest trailer, hop on over here and check out all the media. No, the trailer didn't reveal much.
A multiplayer beta of Halo: Reach will be included with Halo: ODST. And how will you play the beta? It it show up on the bottom of the main menu like so:
"I'm not here for that campaign nonsense! I'm here to play online with cool dudes," I hear you cry, in that unlovely way of yours. Well, you're in luck! TBK, The Bees' Knees, have been around since 2004 and take their name from the Halo 2 ARG, 'I Love Bees'. No matter what gametype you like playing, you'll find someone who shares your interests here to team up with. Unless you play Lone Wolves, in which case you'll have trouble teaming up.
You don't need the paid maps to play with us, and if you don't have them already, I'd suggest not buying them, as they all come packaged for free with Halo 3: ODST, as described in the post above. However, there's no reason not to grab the free maps, and if you want to grab the paid ones, these images will come in quite handy.
And the map pack DLC for Halo Wars has some people eager to play it if you choose to buy it.
Since all of Halo 2's content is on the original Xbox Live, we cannot provide easy links to grab the DLC. However, all of it's DLC is free, and all of it's DLC is required to play any of it's playlists.
Now you have the arenas, you need gladiators to fill them with. Fortuitous, then, that I happen to have my class register right here.

also if anyone wants help in Halo 3's original campaign they should say something because I'm two breaths away from trading the original game in now.
Yeah, but if you turned your head to look to your right, you'd no longer be looking at the TV.

That is just so silly. I don't know about the rest of the world but I like to keep my vision centered on my screen and use my peripherals for detecting enemies and motion and then adjusting the center of screen to engage. I can see myself having to move my head like a mouse with little desk space to turn around using head motion controls.

Only if the system adjusts your view at a 1:1 ratio. Most head tracking software has calibration tools to scale your real world movements.. you configure the dead zone, and so on. The end result is relatively small motions give you large motions on screen.
Maybe it's not as big a deal in Halo, but in more realistic games like ARMA or something, being able to look somewhere that your gun isn't pointed can be valuable.
It seems like a good way to get people warmed up on natal, without completely changing how games are controlled. Not that Reach will have it.. but I bet the xbox will get a FPS with it at some point.
Try playing New Super Mario Wii and scratch your nose. Then watch as you accidentally jump into that pit of doom.

The annoying thing about any motion control is the fact that you can't be lazy. You don't really get to choose the position you sit or lay in. It is just way more of a pain in the ass than it needs to be. I would prefer laying down any day.
What exactly does this mean for us?
Do we get medals if we get accepted?

It means we'd have stuff from our File Share on Bungie Favorites instead of terribad spartans behind explosions
Only quote is from Urk who said it will be "pound for pound the biggest demo ever"

Who wants to help me decide what to buy with a 50 dollar best buy gift card
Oh. That'd be really cool.
My spartan with gun wings is so much much better than any of the other ones I have seen.
Mass Effect 2, or hold onto it for about 9 months for Reach.
Or give it to me so I can afford FF13 easier.
holding spikers
Those spikers got mad deep clips, yo.
I already have ME2 pre-ordered
I'm thinking a new headset
or Halo Wars finally

... but yeah without a melee finish, even if you dual wield you will lose to pretty much everything else in the game.

I just submitted my homework for the week and I have to work at 11pm tonight but I'm free till then.
Otherwise, I'll just paint my Space Marines
Also remember that Firefight has it's own Game On thread now (the purpose being that when it's bumped, it's obvious someone wants to play Firefight)

I agree with this. I do recall the hilarity that came with playing as Regret on release with one of my buddies playing as Forge and just funneling cash my way while I glassed everything. Fun stuff.
