Halo 3 ODST: Now Out in Stores

By Crystal Jennings

Microsoft, as the publisher, and Bungie, as the developer, just recently launched its newest offering in the market, Halo 3: ODST. Released just last September 29, 2009, Halo 3: ODST has rapidly captured the interest of Halo fanatics and video game console enthusiasts.

The protagonist in the game is a first person shooter. He or she becomes a part of the United Nations Space Command, an organization composed of elite human soldiers.

A Covenant took place and was followed by an attack of an alliance of alien races on Earth. The specific target was the New Mombasa area. The player has to search for his or her missing teammates through an exploration of this area. Because they need to do different quests, the teammates in the game will have to go separate ways.

Because they would often wrongly attribute the role of being the lead character in the Halo 3: ODST to the Master Chief, most individuals would often associate Halo 3: ODST to other versions of Halo that have been released earlier. However, contrary to such misconceptions, the Master Chief is not the lead character but it is the lone soldier from UNSC, also known as the Rookie, that plays the lead role.

Quick jumps and fast movement are advanced skills endowed by the Master Chief. Unfortunately, the Rookie does not possess these advanced skills. The energy shield that absorbs damages, considered as an asset weapon of the Master Chief, is substituted with a stamina mechanic for the Rookie.

Our lead character can only regain the player's strength from the damages incurred during the game by adequate resting. If the damage becomes too extreme to the point of exceeding the extent that can still be accommodated by the threshold for stamina. Looking for medpacks is the only solution for restoring the player's health. The player must look for these medpacks scattered in different areas and locations all over the place.

Now, it's time to use your hands, make the most out of your experience and play with the Halo 3: ODST! Enjoy and have fun! - 30202
