ODSTs: Follow the story of the legendary ODSTs or Orbital Drop Shock Troopers as they drop into the ruined city of New Mombasa, looking for clues behind the Covenant's catastrophic attack on the city.
A new hero: Prepare to drop. Known for their courage, valor and at times, insanity, Orbital Drop Shock Troopers are among the fiercest UNSC soldiers, priding themselves on being the first unit deployed into hostile situations. While not as large or supernaturally gifted as their Spartan comrades, these Hell Jumpers more than compensate with their ferocious attitudes and unwavering nerve.
Multiplayer: All the traditional features of Halo 3 multiplayer will be included in the new game, including full-featured integration with the Forge map editor.
More to come: More information about Halo 3: ODST and the ODST characters will be made available in the near future, so stay tuned!

a steep price to pay for an expansion pack. halo is made for multiplayer and this is just halo 3. with extra maps. which are now available to halo3 owners. worthless.
A great twist on single player, aging multiplayer though... The singleplayer experience in ODST is an extremely enjoyable one, with the reduced heealth system and the lack of security you get from not being a spartan quite refreshing for a series that has been mildly stagnant over its past iterations.
The multiplayer on the other hand is still that same old halo 3 mechanics, and the new additional maps, whilst interesting, do not have the prevalence to make finding a game with a good connection viable, so you are simply stuck with playing the same overplayed maps from halo 3.
Firefight, the other new addition to ODST is, whilst fun, not as focused an experience or addictive as a game dedicated to this type of play, such as left 4 dead.
ODST's singleplayer greatly makes up for the flaws experienced in the now aging multiplayer of Halo.
Well worth the price of admission. Halo has always been built on the 30 seconds of fun ideal and ODST seems to be no exception. The battles, weapons and enemies are familiar which some may see as stagnant. In my opinion though, if it ain't broke, don't fix it.
The pistol makes a welcome return to this somewhat darker grittier exploration into the Halo universe. The multi player stand alone disc is a great addition for those who did not purchase any of the DLC on release.
An interesting reboot. You probably know by now whether you like Halo or not, but this game may yet turn some heads. The experimental campaign structure coupled with the new Firefight mode makes Halo the pinnacle of the franchise's storied single and multiplayer modes.
