Looks really nice, and the space combat seems pretty awesome. I’m glad they decided to add that aspect in, I think it makes the game play a bit more unique then previous installments.
Halo Reach will be out this September.

Halo 3 ODST Epilogue Easter Egg
Do not watch this video if you haven’t beaten the game yet, or don’t mind having it spoiled, as it shows the ending video from the game. The clicking sound is the player flicking left on the right analog stick.
The Making Of Halo ODST
It interesting to see how the game evolved from a “mini-campaign” to a full game, in about a year’s time. Can’t wait to play it next week.
Halo 3 ODST Soundtrack Out Next Week
The Halo 3 ODST soundtrack will be out next week, to coincide with the release of the game. The soundtrack contains new music composed by Martin O’Donnell and Michael Salvatori. According to O’Donnell:
“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 soundtrack is 2-discs and will be available at www.sumthingdigital.com and iTunes on September 22nd.

Halo 3 ODST’s Firefight
Halo 3 ODST’s version of Horde Mode, Firefight, is looking pretty interesting. I really like the random multipliers they show if in this video, it seems like it will add a lot more variety so that every time you’re playing it will be a different experience.
New Halo 3 Maps Available Today
Three new maps are available for purchase today (the map Standoff is shown in the video above). The pack costs 800 points…I’m not really sure if I’m ready to drop money on three maps…I’ll have to speak to Gmoney, I’m sure he has them already some how.
Anyway, here’s the details:
Standoff’s symmetrical valley, with its entrenched bases and fields of boulders is ideal for mid-sized objective and Slayer game types, while Rat’s Nest’s vast, labyrinthine passages bring something new to the “Halo” multiplayer experience: an indoor vehicle paradise, strongly influenced by the Campaign mode, ideal for big team battles. Finally, Foundry is the ultimate Forge map – players can edit every single object in this voluminous industrial warehouse, place stairways, walls, bridges and tunnels to create an entirely new play space and build almost any kind of map they can think of.
Halo 3 – Traffic Cone as a Weapon?
How do you kill someone with a traffic cone in Halo 3? I don’t know, but this guy did it somehow. Scroll on the way to the bottom, it’s the last one. Gmoney would probably know how to do this, he’s that good.
Halo 3 Adding “Zombies” to Playlist for Halloween
That’s right, from 12:01 AM on October 31 to 3:00 AM on November 1 anyone playing mutiplayer games may randomly get an “Infection” game.
