I understand that this might earn me a ban or at the very least get my name abused for a while... and I apologise now for any offence I cause. :ill:
But I can't contain my excitement.
ODST is coming out in a few days and it looks (has done for quite a while now) absolutely stunning.
Its set in a huge freeroam city (New Mombassa, i think) which means you can go anywhere. Although its also very easy to get lost so the designers have provided a map in your helmet visor to hep you around. Not only that, the visor has some pretty cool modes to help direct your team as well as identify the enemy in the varying light/weather conditions.
This time around we get to play as a frontline 'grunt', rather than the MasterChief. This means we are less strong, need med packs and cannot dual wield weapons. The character is also slower, cannot jump very high and is much more susceptible to enemy fire.
This will make the game a much more tactical battle although still as intense as ever.
I've got it pre-ordered so it should arrive in a couple of days. Is anyone else here getting it. I know a few guys from here on my friends list already play H3, so send me a request on live if you fancy a play.
Don't worry about posting here, it makes no sense for more people to get in trouble ;)
EDIT: There's also a double XP weekend on the 'Rocket Race' game mode this weekend. Its a really fun mode. Message me if you want to play... so much fun.
