Tharp Daddy Posted September 14, 2009 Share Posted September 14, 2009 can someone enlighten me with more details on the firefight mode? is it similar to horde on gears of war where you just fight AI enemies over and over? me and my friend gave it a go on split screen and just had no idea what the hell was going on. Yes, sorta like Horde mode, but in this mode it will be random units, and in the higher levels random skulls will be turned on (like the enemies block stickies, more health, the normal Halo 3 skulls + a few more) and the feel is a little different - so far i've heard people like it more then gear's horde mode.

DrunknMunky Veteran Posted September 14, 2009 Veteran Share Posted September 14, 2009 Don't think this was posted Halo 3: ODST hits store shelves next week, and Sumthing Else Music Works is making sure you can listen to it when you can't play with the release of the Halo 3: ODST Original Soundtrack.The latest chapter in the Halo saga brings with it new music composed by Martin O'Donnell and Michael Salvatori, and Sumthing Else is ready, with a 2-disc soundtrack for the game released into the wild on September 22nd to coincide with the release of the game. According to O'Donnell, the ODST soundtrack reflects the new direction the series is taking in the game. "I'm happy to be able to share all new compositions and recordings created for Halo 3: ODST. The music reflects the new mood, new heroes, and new story of the game. I worked with the Northwest Sinfonia for the orchestral recordings and also added some nice alto sax solos and some new guitar solos. The piano sneaks back in again a few times too, but I can't seem to help that." The 2-disco Halo 3: ODST soundtrack will also be available at www.sumthingdigital.com and iTunes come September 22nd. http://kotaku.com/5358904/halo-3-odst-soun...drops-next-week Halo soundtracks :heart: Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/679790-official-halo-3-odst/page/13/#findComment-591577934 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aero_Rising Posted September 15, 2009 Share Posted September 15, 2009 I'm staying away from all gaming sites and all topics related to odst too great of a chance of spoilers I just love halo too much to have it spoiled. I have release day delivery but maybe i'll get lucky and get it a day early.

Sikh Posted September 15, 2009 Share Posted September 15, 2009 DUDE LETS DO IT. I got 2 people from work, and we are looking for awesome players. We dont give a **** if your brown purple white black, as long as you play a mean game of teamwork and cooperate or can give ideas if you dont feel like "being lead around" the whole time then DO IT. Also a mic is a plus but is not needed, but then your expected to do as one of the others say! But thats not towards you, just people! I also play many games, my gamerscore isnt high because I rarely play single player / campaign lmao. But ODST will be my first halo game I play Campaign, by myself. Ive always played with my crazy halo crazed friend but never cared about campaign till now. New Mumbasa FTW!

+InsaneNutter MVC Posted September 15, 2009 MVC Share Posted September 15, 2009 DVD 1 has the Campaign and Firefight mode. DVD 2 has everything else. So unless you want to play Firefight everything you want multiplayer wise is on DVD2, Firefight might even be on DVD2 (as well as DVD1). I?m sure someone here could let us know.

Spookie Posted September 15, 2009 Share Posted September 15, 2009 How can you say that without having played it yourself? =P Well now I can say my sisters BF may have given in and obtained this by nefarious means and may think it's nothing special and still doesn't elevate it above typical-console-shooter for him (& me - but we're both big PC gamers, he likes UT1 and I loved CS/CoD2) and is one for the fans as it won't win anyone else over. I still think it's going to get verbal *******s from the press as you'd expect. I'm sure MS would be a tad stroppy with publishers about future exclusives if they didn't. :) Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/679790-official-halo-3-odst/page/13/#findComment-591580378 Share on other sites More sharing options...
