I dunno.  But I want to say in Halo 3 both actors did some VA work...so, it wouldn't surprise me that they continued in this new game.

(I am not a halo fan, so I have no idea what this new one is about?  I assume the player is not Master Chief?  Is it still a FPS?)

That would be really cool.

Why'd they have to cancel Firefly?

Fillion and the guy who played Wash were both voice actors in Halo 3. At one point, I heard a UNSC Marine say "Shiny".



ODST takes place during the events of Halo 2, and kicks off at the point where the Covenant ship engages its Slipspace drive over New Mombassa. It is still an FPS, but you don't get to play as the Chief, much less a Spartan.

In this game you're just infantry. You aren't an eight foot tall Spartan that can jump 20'.

I want to play it at my buddies house before I commit to buying it.

I just got it an hour, and thirty minutes ago, but the storm we had earlier apparently killed my Goddamn Xbox.  You know a $500 system that I have only had for 2 1/2 years is being sent for repairs tomorrow, but my fucking Nintendo that I have had since I was a kid still fucking works when I plug it up. FTW  

Every time I see those Goddamn flashing red lights it makes me want to take this POS out to the fucking range, and shoot it to fucking bits.  Somebody (the wife) left it on during the storm, GTA can wait babe!!!  Well, at least she made up for it by giving me sex, and it looks like I will have to go play it at my brothers house to play it when he gets off work at 1800.

Agreed. However, ODST seems to have more in common with the first Halo than the other two. The pistol is lethal again!

Yep, thats them. Also, I think the woman is Tricia Helfer.

So, basically Mobile Infantry? I saw the commercial for it. I liked it more than the Starship Troopers movies.

Cut from the ODST website

ORBITAL DROP SHOCK TROOPER

United Nations Space Command (UNSC) Orbital Drop Shock Troopers (ODST) are under the operational authority of Naval Special Weapons (NavSpecWeap). Their methods of operation allow them to conduct missions against targets that more conventional forces cannot approach undetected.

The ODSTs perform highly specialized, small scale, high-risk operations such as:

• Deep ground surveillance (DGS)
• Direct action (DA)
• Unconventional warfare
• Counter-terrorism operations
• Counter-contraband operations
• Personnel and special equipment recovery/capture

ODSTs are recruited from the Special Operations Groups of all the nations of the Unified Earth Government (UEG). Since the first group of “handpicked volunteers” was activated, ODSTs have been dropping “feet first” into combat.

and this is there Ride

SINGLE OCCUPANT EXOATMOSPHERIC INSERTION VEHICLE





The SOEIV is an angular pod, approximately eighteen (18) feet tall, eight and a half (8.5) feet wide, and nine (9) feet deep with an entry hatch on one side. Within it is a crash seat, communications gear, numerous equipment racks, and a rudimentary control system. In spite of the size of the pod, there is not much room to move around, as the space given over to equipment storage lines the interior attached to the frame.

The trooper enters the SOEIV and straps in facing the hatch. The hardened and shielded communications gear, which is built directly into the hatch, feeds the soldier information relevant to the current operation as well as providing a link between all members of the unit during the drop. While within the SOEIV a soldier's helmet integrated comm units are redundant and are normally only used if the pod's comm gear malfunctions.

A 30-second countdown begins on the commander’s mark, and the SOEIVs fire quickly down through the ship’s belly. The SOEIV is balanced to stabilize in a feet-down position. The pod has limited maneuvering capability, used primarily to coordinate landings, but may be used to avoid defensive anti-aircraft fire. However, if defensive anti-aircraft is present it is almost a mathematical certainty that some pods will be lost. If the armored skin that covers a pod is damaged before or during its entry into atmosphere it has a tendency to fail spectacularly. And this is the reason for the SOEIV's small size—each hit only results in one death rather than the deaths of the entire unit.

UNSC insertion protocols call for the CO’s SOEIV to accelerate after launch, placing it in the front rank of the advance. The reasons for this rule include the strongly held belief that officers should lead rather than follow, should be willing to do anything their troops are asked to do, and should expose themselves to the same level of danger as their subordinates.

The most compelling reason, however, is the need to collect, sort, and organize the troops the moment their boots touch ground. Experience demonstrates that whatever the ODSTs manage to accomplish during the first so-called “golden hour” on the ground will have a disproportionate effect on the success or failure of the entire mission. The commander’s pod is equipped with a lot of gear that the regular “eggs” are not, including high-powered imaging gear, tactical sensors, and a 4th generation "dumb" AI.

After the SOEIV has penetrated the atmosphere, the upper exterior panels separate acting as a drag-type chute, slowing its descent some. At about 50 meters, the pod’s computer controlled breaking rockets engage, slowing the pod further; allowing for a safe though somewhat abrupt landing.

Drag chutes on SOEIVs do fail on rare occasions, leaving the pod’s occupant to die on impact. It’s the death that every ODST trooper fears, and is referred to in hushed tones as “digging your own grave."

Upon landing, each ODST is responsible for stripping their pod of its store of extra weapons, ammo, and other supplies, which are then hauled to the unit’s temporary base camp. ODSTs are used to operating without resupply for extended periods, and they are well known to be at their best when under difficult conditions.
