Halo ODST, Dropping on 9/22

This is going to be an exciting time for me, It's been quite a long time since I've taken a trek into the Halo series(probably 3 or 4 months ago since I last played Halo 3). But this game is something to look forward to.

Taking place between the events of Halo 2 and Halo 3, the Master Chief and all the other Spartans will be taking a back seat, as you the "Rookie" who has just been placed in an ODST(Orbital Drop Shock Trooper)squadron are now the primary focus of this operation. During a routine jump, something goes horribly wrong over New Mombasa and your squad's pods are sent off course from each other. Upon regaining consciousness from the impact, you set out to find clues as to where members of your squadron have been, and if they are still alive while neutralizing the Covenant.

Fire-Fight, a new multiplayer mode in ODST has you and a team of friends taking down wave after wave of randomly generated Covenant forces a la Gears of War's Horde Mode. During specific points in between waves, special objectives are unlocked in order to increase the difficulty of gameplay. As an added bonus, if you pre-order this game at your local game retail outlet(Gamestop, EB), you'll be able to play as Sarge during this mode as well.



Halo ODST drops in a little over 2 weeks, September 22nd. If you're a Halo fan who wants an expansion on the story, or just enjoy FPS, then this game might be worth your time. See you on Xbox Live, lets bring the Covenant down!
