MEET YOUR NEW DADDY
"The Covenant comes to kill us. And the ODSTs? We do our best to kill them first."
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.
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.
Still thinking, "Fuck that, I love Nathan Fillion!" Meet Gunnery Sergeant Edward Buck.
Sergeant Buck has two primary missions: keeping his team alive and stopping the Covenant. Two monumentally tall orders. A lifelong student, Buck’s learned his lessons the hard way. And since he’s not dead, that makes him the ideal candidate to run this operation. When Buck says drop, you say, "Yes, sir!"
Romeo’s tongue is sharp, but his shot is sharper. He’s sarcastic, a touch self-absorbed, and a self-professed ladies man. You don’t need to worry about any of that. Slap a Sniper Rifle in his hands and he’ll earn his keep, one round at a time.
For Dutch, the only good part about dropping into combat is getting his boots on the ground. Once he’s found terra firma, he’s a one man wrecking crew. If you’ve got big problems, Dutch will have very loud answers. It's probably best you stay behind him.
Mickey has the distinct pleasure of being the only member on the squad who hasn’t seen everything go all fire and brimstone. He’s a flyboy, but for this mission,he’s the guy that’s tapped to set the charges. If things are going boom, chances are Mickey is at the switch.
And the FNG. The Rookie. Not exactly green; no ODST is. If I didn't think he could do the job, I wouldn't have him on my six. He doesn't say much, but I don't care. I just need him to listen.
And let's not forget Miss Naval Intelligence herself. Check out this lady’s gear. That's definitely not regulation. And her presence alone should have you on high alert - ONI doesn’t send in spooks to take care of routine operations.
These are my men. And I'm dropping them straight into hell.
Naval Intelligence says we're taking down a Covenant carrier that's sitting pretty over New Mombasa. Not what I'd call a routine operation, but it doesn't matter. We know what we're up against because we've seen it all before: Harvest, the Outer Colonies...Reach. The Covenant comes to kill us. And the ODSTs? We do our best to kill them first.
We're planning for a close-quarters fight, and Navy Special Weapons set us up real nice. The Suppressed M7 SMG. It can tear through armor and turn bad guys into chum. And the M6S Pistol. Whisper-quiet with Armor-Piercing Rounds. Brutes might see us coming...the only thing they're gonna hear is their asses hitting the ground.
Wasn't just our weapons systems, either. Navy eggheads knocked the dust off our electronics, too. VISR, Visual Intelligence System, Reconnaissance, upgrades with uplinks to secure Metropolitan systems; clearance codes to access New Mombasa's Superintendent Artificial Intelligence. That means navigation data on the fly; instant Intel on the field. Hell, we could commandeer the city's garbage trucks if we need to. Course, from what we can tell, the Super isn't exactly in fighting shape. Seems the Covenant have knocked a few screws loose. Won't be a problem. ODST's are used to working in the dark.
It's simple: If you see green, squad up. If you see red, shoot.
But what about Firefight? well- This is Firefight. And we need every able body we can get. Even yours. Lucky for you, your squad is the best of the best. Orbital Drop Shock Troopers. Problem is, we got alien bastards in the house. Each new wave means more bad guys. Five waves make up a round. Three rounds in a set. Sounds easy, huh? Wrong! See these skulls?
Now, I know what you're thinking. "Sergeant Major Johnson, these sound like overwhelming odds. I don't wanna drop into hell without an airtight insurance policy." Well, do I have an offer for you! If you pre-ordered your copy of Halo 3: ODST at participating retailers, you'll get all the confidence you need:
So what are you waiting for? Get set troopers, and prepare to drop.

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.
AVAILABLE TBA 2010
"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 in September, 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.
Now you have the arenas, you need gladiators to fill them with. Fortuitous, then, that I happen to have my class register right here.
The Usual Suspects:

Things you need to know ahead of time: Yorker is mute, X is diabetic, Major Leitner is annoying, and Beeb is only here for comic relief.
This list collates the more active folks - there are many others, and you can become one of them very easily. Post in the thread, say hi, add a few of us as friends and play some games with us. As long as you're not the typical shit-flinging retard that Xbox Live seems to cultivate, you're welcome to do so and to call yourself a Bee.

I thought the Pre-Mission Evaluations were cool to watch.
Or do you mean another batch of screenshots..?
I'd have had one a while back, but I lost my Halo disc, and just waited for ODST, and since ODST was released I've been busy.
And Josh, lovin' all your new posts!
I'm torn between Spartan and Elite. I can't decide which looks cooler.

Good thing you solved that, now to fix about what armor I want.
Elite vs Spartan event, I smell.

God damn flame brutes took like four lives by spawn camping me.
After finishing the audio logs I'm kinda dissapointed by a lack of NMPD skin for firefight.
Is there any other firefight map that lets you roll fusion coils down into a covie chokepoint? It does have room to improve though. I think the dropships that don't drop down on the landing pad should drop at the rocket/shotgun spawn, just to give you more room to run around.
Just the symbol? There's a wallpaper here: http://i88.photobucket.com/albums/k167/NinjaVanished/SUPERINTENT4.jpg but it has effects around it. Just the symbol is here: http://images2.wikia.nocookie.net/halo/images/5/5d/Superintendant-alone.svg.
But does anyone with some recent experience with the repair service know about how long it takes them to ship a fixed-box once they receive the broken unit? I'm trying to get as much school work done before I get my box back.
2 weeks in my brother's case, shipping to him in Nevada.
Fixed.

Nuh Uh, cool kids play as Spartan's.
I love elites but I always seem to do worse when I play as one.
It seems I will have to assemble an elite squad of people who will let me vulch sticky kills in order to ge it. It's worth more to me than the vidmaster achievements.
That kid killed himself.
