Halo ODST
Developed exclusively for Xbox 360 by acclaimed developer Bungie, Halo: ODST is a new, stand-alone expansion to the Halo saga that lets players experience the events leading up to the epic story told in Halo 3 through the eyes of an entirely new character the ODST (Orbital Drop Shock Trooper), as they search for clues leading to the whereabouts of their scattered squad and the motivations behind the Covenant’s invasion of New Mombasa. The game adds a new dimension to an all-encompassing universe that gamers around the world have known and loved since the release of the first Halo game in late 2001.
New Campaign, New Hero, New Tactics in Halo 3: ODST Game
Much more than an expansion, Halo: ODST allows players to explore dangerous new ground, search the dark, abandoned streets of New Mombasa for clues, and fight back against the Covenant invasion from multiple perspectives. Dropping in as “the rookie,” a new member of an elite squad of Orbital Drop Shock Troopers (ODST) sent into New Mombasa on a classified recon mission, you’ll be armed with specialized weaponry and upgraded technology, including silenced weapons and a VISR enhanced vision mode.
Separated from your squad, you’ll have to scour the city for clues in order to learn what happened to Buck, Dare, Dutch, Mickey, and Romeo. As you collect new clues, you’ll experience the story from their perspectives, fighting through the occupied city hours earlier.

Halo ODST Reviews
4 Stars great
I really didn’t know what to expect when i got this game, i got it mostly because i really like the hell jumpers or ODST. But what i found out was that it was a really good game. Its not as long as a normal game might be, but if you try to get everything out of it then you will be putting in some hours on this game. over all i really enjoying playing this game especially with my friends, which brings me to a down point, it doesn’t have any online match making, so if you play online it has to be with your xbox live friends, which is good and bad. On one hand you don’t have to worry about random jerks doing stupid stuff and quitting on you. But at the same time if your friends aren’t online and you want to play with someone else then your kind of screwed. But i like it and i would recommend it to anyone.
4 Stars Good Times
A lot of fun! Wish the game play was longer but it was a different and refreshing addition to the Halo line.
4 Stars Fun game
My teenage son really likes this game. He’s a huge fan of Halo and was really looking forward to ODST’s release. I am typing in his review, in his words….
If you like Halo, you will probably like ODST.
Pros:
- firefight mode
- graphics
- weapons
- awesome story
- good campaign
- achievements
- gameplay interface
Cons:
- decreased enemy variety
- legendary is harder
- armor customization
3 Stars Somewhat disappointing
Firefight is really fun, and the Mythic maps are pretty fun, too. The campaign, however, is just a bit unsatisfying. Still really fun, but, just like Halo 3’s campaign, a bit too small for the hype. It is worth the money if you like Halo, especially if you haven’t bought the map packs for Halo 3 because the Halo 3 multiplayer disc comes with every map, not just the new ones.
4 Stars Different enough to rate well…
The city-style game play is pretty cool, along with the visor mode color schemes. There is enough in campaign mode and firefight to make it worth the cash. Multi-player is the same old Halo 3 with a few new maps…
