I've pre-orderd the newer game Halo 3:ODST,played it,and reviewed it.And heres what I thought.
You play as an ODST(OrbitalDropShockTrooper)and these tougher,elite versions of the marines have under-gown extensive and rigourus training and have simulated many launches.ODSTs drop from low-orbit battle ships in what are called SOVEIs and I forget what it stands for.But into the story as the first cutscene/mission You see your ODST squad who you THINK your launching with,but a large covenant cruiser goes into a slip-space and causes a rupture that sends you,your squad,and the whole counter-attack into chaos.And you start off 6 hours the launch,as the rookie.But as you were asleep your squad has been fighting the Covenant by solitary force.And you must find and put together the clues to find your missing squad and play in their shoes along the way.
So I instantly thought this story was incredible,but a bit short from the original Halos.
Equiptment
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Starting off you get a new HUD where instead of it being blue or purple its now yellow.But remember your an ODST not a spartan so you dont have sheilds,just stamina but stamina goes down quick and if the "Black-Eye"skull is active than you must melee to get that stamina back.You also start off with a new weapon set,the improved Sound-Suppresed SMG with a 3x scope and its more accurate than it was originally in Halo 3 and 2.And the also Sound-Suppressed MK.3 Auto-magnum with a faster fireing rate and an instant headshot kill even in Legendary.(Even for cheiftans!But you still need to take off their head-peice.)You can also carry one more of each gernade.Which helped me alot in close-quarters and low-ammo situations.But you cant pick up enemy equipment.Such as energy-drains,bubble-sheilds,and flares.And you cant dual-weild any weapons,though for the new SMG I kinda expected that with the stock.And you now have a ODST only helmet installment VISR which supports night-vision and you have a NAV map with audio log cards and Obejectives board in your helmet.
Gameplay
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Starting off in the New Mombasa streets you will notice a complete change in color schemes such as new light blue and dark blue with greens,reds,oranges,and the scenery.And by turning on your VISR you can see visual enteties such as enemys,objects,and freindlies.Creating some night-vision regulated changed colors.Your weapons look amazing in both 3rd and 1st person visual.And all the things around you look absolutley stunning.Battle segments are heart-pounding and challenging(On legendary or Heroic and even Normal.)not only that you can also have co-op campaign and new vidmaster acheivments.Stratagies to survive or you could find those vidmasters challenging.
Verdict
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I've read over this thousands of times,played the game for 3 hours straight,and finally mustard up a verdict.
Weapon upgrades+
New NAV map and night-vision+
Lack of duals and Equipment-
Bullet-proof story+
No Matchmaking-
Firefight+
9/10
