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.

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.

This list collates people who want to play Halo, 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. If someone is acting like a shit-flinging retard, contact FyreWulff or Evil Badman.

A new thing that will hopefully get people to regularly play Firefight, and also make a friendly competition out of it! Details aren't nailed down but keep an eye out for posts relating to it at this point (it's still in alpha/beta/notdone state)
Firefight Friday is hosted off-forum because well, you can't run PHP programs inside a thread.
Also, the firefight chat link at the top of the OP is a wondrous idea.

It's a shame you left Primus, we had an Avalanche match right after that we tied and should have won. We had a full hog as the clock was ticking down from 30 seconds, and josh flew us into our mancannon and PERFECTLY to our flag cap. Then something (I don't know what, I'll have to watch the film) exploded the hog and it called time.
Almost cried. But it was a good match, like most of the other ones.
Hopefully it didn't wipe films and I can put it in my fileshare tomorrow because I've seen mongooses make that a ton but I've never seen a warthog perfectly slide in.
e: Film is in fileshare now. Screenshot to show how beautiful the fit was.
Unfortunately, I will not be on for any gaming tonight; got an evening shift that ends late, and the managers are making us go to a meeting tomorrow at 8 AM just so the fat female manager can fabricate more reasons as to why I suck at my job. At least the rest of the weekend is looking to be pretty clear.
Team Flag is a double xp I was really feeling and I'm not going to get to play it at all.
PSN: JPBrowncoat Xbox: BamSaidTheLaday Also on Steam! Streaming games!
i think i might have to get back in on this.
This is a joke right? 1 Flag CTF is my favorite gametype ever. Team Fortress 2 made an objective man out of me.
I'll be on later and through the night if people want to do some flag-cappin' goodness.
It seems Reach is farther along than most would think. Like.. way farther along.
Wonder if this is gonna be another case of the game being done long before the release date?
Playlist updates. Of note, Team Slayer (you know, that ranked playlist) is going to be opened up to everyone and it will no longer require any DLC whatsoever. Also, BTB Mythic is already getting deleted.
November playlist update:
two social big team playlist? yeah. never gonna be sustainable.
@gamefacts - Totally and utterly true gaming facts on the regular!
I would not be surprised at all.
