In fact, I'll probably just correct that this afternoon.

Oh, all righty then.. :P
I am very excited about this game though. I look forward to seeing the halo universe through the eyes of someone who isn't a super soldier.
Does that mean a single headshot will take down a brute now?
Im excited also, but 1k gamerscore is better than none right? Also, I forgot to mention that there might be secrets in this game.... like the Halo 3 skull collection.
Also - Secrets in a game? Why, thats amazing!

What does that mean? Delayed already? I heard nothing.
No, OP is just an idiot. The game has been done for quite some time, and the Mythic maps even longer than that. Its just that Microsoft wants something to sell this holiday season.

Got a source on that? Because that seems kind of bullshit-esque and very tinfoily.
That's because it is.
I might possibly maybe be down!
Did you use Comics Sans?
What the fuck, guy

ODST is in crunch mode right now. The game will be done waaay before it's release date. In their 'lost' podcast that they posted after ODST was announced, they kept mentioning how it was coming out that winter. They've already sent all the animators home as of 2 months ago.
Well maybe the game will present a challenge of some sort. Alternatively running into a room and holding down 'shoot shit' might not be the best tactic.
Doubt it though.
That doesn't mean humans are incapable of fighting them. The odds are just severely stacked against them.
Get one dude bad enough to survive a fight against the covenant, and base a game around him.. you're good to go.

They've also said that you're going to have to sometimes choose to not engage/avoid encounters or you'll get your shit wrecked.
WHAT'S WITH PEOPLE HATING COMIC SANS ALL OF A SUDDEN? IT'S SUCH A NICE FRIENDLY NON-THREATENING FONT. WHAT DID IT EVER DO TO YOU?
I would have preferred they staged the game in the early portions of Halo 2, I much prefer shooting elites than I do brutes. Elites seem like they actually have a personality, and I admit I am a huge sucker for listening to them chant "wort wort wort".
I always loved their "excruciating pain!".

Man that game was awesome.
Switch: 6200-8149-0919 / Wii U: maximumzero / 3DS: 0860-3352-3335 / eBay Shop
Well, Comic Sans is the superhero of the font world.
So this game is going to be like playing Halo with a character without regenerating shields, the ability to hold a weapon pinpoint-accurate for hours on end, a suit of armor injecting magical happy juices that prevent physical death, and the strength to kill things by punching them and flip cars? Will it at least be Republic Commando-esque where you have a squad of soldiers that are sort of competent? I'm sure the humans had to have won at least one battle without Spartan support, but I haven't read any Halo books so maybe they're terrible. But the ODSTs are supposed to be the elite human soldiers if I recall.
The article at the Halopedia (apparently everything has its own encyclopedia and you can find it by adding -pedia to the concept) seems somewhat informative.
I mean, they don't have the Godlike powers or the alien suits of armour but they all have big manly bears underneath those helmets and they will fuck you up.
You don't use some of the weapons master chief uses. Mostly because you can't physically lift them.
since its more based around covert ops, you have silenced weapons.

Nah, the way I've always seen it is that ODSTs are the Marines that they would normally kick out for being so batshit fucking crazy.
@gamefacts - Totally and utterly true gaming facts on the regular!
Can't they be both?
I dunno. In Halo 2 and 3 when they show up, they seem to get shit done. I mean maybe it is the advanced AI from game to game but I remember legions of marines dying in Halo 1 but in the latter two the ones with the shiny helmets doing alright.
Well, if Halo Wars is any indication, ODST troops kick the shit out of other ground troops.

They're pretty beefy in the Halo books as well.
They were basically the best and most feared warriors of the human race, up until the Spartans came along.
Given odds are fair your guy is a woman,
As for the covenant fucking us up, it's mostly space dominance they have. Things are (slightly) more even on the ground, especially given you'll be an SAS analog. The one thing I wonder is whether they'll have ways of differentiating your teammates in co-op which seems likely.
Possibly different starting weapons to encourage team work?
I hope this is a love letter to the Halo trilogy and it has all the indicators of it (outside the lack of elites). Hell they're using the ensemble dark horse, in New Mombasa. One can only hope that there's the option for it to be ball breakingly hard, even with four guy co-op and packed with secrets. Oh and some new vehicles on top of the weapons would be pretty sweet.
All that jazz.
