HALO 3: Keep it Clean

[Abraham Smashington]

I may grab it for the Halo Reach Beta thingy. And the multiplayer mode does sound like it may be fun. But so many other games coming out. Will have to wait for a review or two first.

Unless there is something like rocket race I will wait till it's a bargain bin deal.

In lieu of a complete ODST multiplayer option, the game ships with Halo 3's multiplayer contained on a separate disc. The 24 maps consist of the original eleven Halo 3 maps (Construct, Epitaph, Guardian, High Ground, Isolation, Last Resort, Narrows, Sandtrap, Snowbound, The Pit, Valhalla), the Heroic map pack (Foundry, Rat's Nest, Standoff), the Legendary map pack (Avalanche, Blackout, Ghost Town), the "Cold Storage" map, and the Mythic map pack (Assembly, Orbital, and Sandbox) as well as three new maps (Citadel, Heretic, Longshore). The exclusive maps are also counted as "Mythic" maps and are tied into Halo 3's achievements. The Halo 3 multiplayer does not require Halo 3 to play and ships on a separate disc.

ODST also contains a new game cooperative game mode called Firefight. Firefight is Halo's version of a survival mode, wherein players take on increasingly difficult waves of varied enemies and see how long they can last. Firefight will include new medals as well as the ability to co-op with up to 4 teammates over Xbox LIVE or System Link. Each player has a set number of lives and the game ends upon their depletion. There is no time limit, no limited number of rounds and no maximum number of kills. Skulls will be incorporated into Firefight as a means to increase the difficulty and provide variation. The maps used in Firefight will be unlocked as the player progresses through the ODST campaign. It is also noted that the enemy characters appearing in each wave are generated at random, thus the player will be unable to anticipate the strength of the next wave prior to its arrival.<SUP class=reference id=cite_ref-11>[12]</SUP> Players are awarded medals for making special kills, and individual and team scores are tracked throughout the games.<SUP class=reference id=cite_ref-12>[13]</SUP>

Yeah, I know it has all of the maps and essentially the Horde mode from Gears 2. But with MW2, L4D2, Dj Hero, etc coming out in the next 2 months, this may have to go on the back burner.

So trade in halo3 get this and it's like having both without threes single player.

[Abraham Smashington]

Essentially, yeah.

And you can run through Halo 3's campaign with another person in a few hours (if you're good).
