Bonus of staying up this late is that I got to catch the newly released ODST vidoc. Yay for being a loser!

Not much that you haven't seen before, but it does give an inside look as to how ODST evolved from a small 3 hour game to a 8 to 10 hour full experience. There's quite a bit of information on the struggle of building New Mombasa with such a small team and such a small time frame.

There isn't much else other than rehashed information about the ODSTs being weaker than the Chief. It does seem like they're bringing the game back to the Combat Evolved roots, which is interesting I guess. I'm excited.

As some of you may have noticed, I am a pretty big Halo dork, and I guess this is a good place to let you all know how excited I am about the game's music. Between the Halo haters and the stupid frat boys, no one ever really talks about it, but Marty O'Donnell is quite the composer. I'd even bravely say that Halo has the best music in the first person shooter genre, and possibly some of the best video game music period (Portal's Still Alive doesn't count -- that was end credit music, so fuck you!). Across the entire series it has been consistently amazing. Check it out for yourself!


There's also quite a bit of Rooster Teeth ODST related viral marketing going on if you aren't sick of that stuff. If you scroll all the way through the Red vs. Blue page you'll find it. They're labled "ODST. I'd also recommend you check their shorts. RT Shorts is in their videos tab -- quite good.

I think I've played Bungie PR enough. I accept Pay-Pal, Microsoft.

P.S. -- I call dibs on Sgt. Johnson, assholes.

I'm shocked that I'm actually interested in this game. I was one of the few who hated Halo 2 and 3. I always thought that Bungie's first game was always the superior experience.

Perhaps this game will return some of the lost magic of the 1st. I hope so cause they'll have my money when this bad boy comes out.
@Yojimbo,

You're not alone in that belief. Halo 2 and 3 never lived up to the experience of the first to me.

ODST seems... interesting. I'm not going to buy it and get burned a'la Halo 3, but I'll probably rent it.

Also, yes, Halo music is phenomenal. I wish the games better reflected some of the personality showcased in their respective scores.
I'm really looking forward to playing a Halo game from a new perspective, and with a new style. Some say that the games are made of shallow sci-fi tropes, but I really dig the universe and it's story.

I pre-ordered just so I could get Sgt Johnson, and yet I actually have little to no desire to play as him. Without playing it I really have no preference between the other guys either. Regardless, firefight has me stoked, because aside from co-op, horde was the only bit of Gears 2's multiplayer I spent any time in, and I love horde.
Optional Diaper Samurai Troopers
@SuitcoatAvenger: I wish.

@brainderailment: It stands for Orbital Drop Shock Troopers.
That was pretty cool. What the heck was that thing near the end?
@Dexter: That was an engineer I believe. They're being used as mobile over-shields. I think they'll make your enemies invincible while they're alive and near them. I heard that from somewhere. Don't quote me on it, though.
Disappointed by Halo(s) 2 & 3?... Sheesh.

Anywho, this video gave me wood. I fear change as well but I'd trust Bungie with my first-born.
Health? I'm in.
