Halo 3: ODST Gameplay, and Halo Reach teaser at E3

I enjoy the singleplayer but not the multiplayer, hopefully the campaigns will be good with minimal online achievements. **** you online achievements!

ODST takes place between 2 and 3 btw.

You said it takes place during Halo 2, it takes place after 2 but before 3. Just saying, don't want to argue about it.

Naa it doesn't because the Chief jumps after the Prophets ship..As you see in the trailer the ODST are dropping in AS the ship jumps. What you do in ODST is taking place at the same time as the events on the Halo in Halo 2, if the game goes on to the point where the Chief makes it back to earth then it carrys on through Halo 2 and into halo 3 but that's not likely.

The game is fan service really. I dunno how many had Xboxs and bought H2 but people where expecting an epic fight for earth and what they got was 2 mins of earth and then leaving it while it was being heavily attacked. A lot of people was upset actually. This is bungie being awesome and showing what happened on earth while the Chief was away.

Theres no real gap between H2/H3, the chief returns to earth in H2 with his badass one liner and in 3 he drops down to earth.

Anywho theres been more info released on ODST, theres no sheild because hes not a Spartan so health packs are back, it's much more tactical you can't just run in and murder 10 brutes like playing as a Spartan you have to pick your fights carefully. Weapons are weaker, your weaker, no duel weild n all that.

And it's being more focused on investigation. You've gotta track down your squad and while you do that you find clues n things that lead to cutscenes/scenes you can play. The entire city is one big sandbox too, you can explore everything apparently.

Becuase you're not a Spartan anymore. And the gact that the SMG is quite large in size and can only be dual wielded by a Spartan. And the reasoing behind the pistol is probably because it now has a scope.

I heard about this the first time last night, but now that I've seen a preview it looks awesome. Also, I read the first three Halo books. Though they usually went off the games, I thought they were pretty good. I hope Halo: Reach is going to be awesome as well.

My guess is it's due to the recoil of it all. If you ever watch a marine with an SMG hes holding it with both hands. Having far superior strength to a human probably helps counter out the recoil in a Spartans case.Not that these litle details even matter, i rarely ever bothered with dual weilding anyway.
