Halo fan will know that Halo 3: ODST releases tomorrow around the world exclusively on the Xbox 360 – game that tells the tale of the Orbital Drop Shock Troopers, an elite squad of soldiers that literally drop in on hostile situations by way of drop pods launched from outer space.
Microsoft is set to kick off the annual videogame blockbuster season with the release of Halo 3: ODST on September 22. The first of the big games scheduled for the busy fourth quarter of the year, Halo 3 ODST is expected to be one of the best sellers of 2009.
Halo 3: ODST is not quite a full sequel to 2007’s Halo 3, which sold in excess of 10m copies. Instead, it gives hungry fans a short campaign and a co-operative firefight mode to bridge the gap until the launch of the real sequel, Halo Reach, in late 2010.
Rather than taking the role of Spartan super-soldier, Master Chief, you spend most of the ODST campaign in the boots of a slower and more fragile Orbital Drop Shock Trooper. In practice, the game doesn’t depart too radically from the traditional Halo formula, as I discovered in a recent hands-on session at Microsoft SA’s offices.
This game has been in development for about a year. Bungie’s latest effort marks an obvious change from the classical Halo style story presentation and familiar gameplay. Of course, the essential first-person shooter elements are there, except now the team incorporated a few nice touches, making it a bit more interesting and certainly a different experience than before.
