Product Description
The year is 2552. Covenant forces control the city of New Mombasa. They are searching for something beneath its darkened streets. You are an Orbital Drop Shock Trooper. Your orders: stay alive, meet up with your scattered squad, and escape the embattled city.
Fan favourite and Halo series stalwart Sergeant Avery Junior Johnson is a tough-as-nails career Marine who has been in more life or death battles than you've had hot meals. He's survived more infectious Flood outbreaks, greased more Covenant bad guys, and earned more medals than any other twenty soldiers. And now you get to walk a mile in his shoes!
- Dropping in as "the rookie," a new member of an elite squad of Orbital Drop Shock Troopers sent into New Mombasa on a classified recon mission, you'll be armed with specialised weaponry and upgraded technology, including silenced weapons and a VISR enhanced vision mode.
- Drop feet first into a new way to play Halo with the cooperative campaign mode, Firefight. Form a squad of your friends over System Link or Xbox LIVE and put your skills to the ultimate test against the invading Covenant war machine for glory, high scores, and achievements.
- Three all-new maps make their debut for Halo 3's traditional, chart-topping multiplayer. Heretic, Longshore, and Citadel drop in alongside the original Halo 3 Multiplayer Maps, all packed in and playable from one standalone disc.

Fun:
If you enjoyed the Halo series so far, then you should love this game. Halo 3: ODST is set in the Halo timeframe about halfway through Halo 2's story. How does this work out? You aren't the 7 foot tall cyborg Master Chief but instead play as a member of a crack Orbital Drop Shock Trooper team. It's the team itself that is the star of the game - if you ever watched Firefly or Serenity you'll recognise some of the voices - as they all have back-stories that will pull you in, and their interplay is comedy gold.
The gameplay is nothing different from other Halo games, but if you haven't played them before then it's your standard first-person-shooter but well-polished. The addition is the visor your trooper wears, highlighting enemies and points of interest in the dark. Also, with not being a metal-man, you will find small encounters with the Covenant aliens a harder firefight which will require a more tactical approach.
I won't go into it much more. My bottom line: this is the best Halo game I have played, and one of the best shooters. It adds more to the Halo universe, and takes you out of the silent boots of Master Chief and places you in those of an ODST, one that you'll care more about. You want to find out what happened to your team, you want to help them finish their mission, and you won't be the superhero; you are a trooper who is part well-trained and part lucky as hell. It's Halo for the person who wants a more realistic experience. If you only buy one Halo game, get this one.

Fun:
Halo 3 ODST's main story line is great, it's intresting, you get a lot of weapons to use, you play as different characters and most importantly you don't play as a spartan. You wonder arround a big city investigating the place at night trying to find the rest of your squad.
The gameplay is intense, puts you on the spot and brings you back to the fear and excitement of Halo: Combat Evolved! If you love halo, try it and if you don't, it's a MUST get!

this game i think is not as good as the others the fact that you cant duel wield the guns is most annoying and makes it much harder but other than that the game lets you play it from all the squad wich i don't like personally i like to enjoy the story from one perpective not from lots but thats just me other than that the game turned up in good condition and in good time
