Halo 3 ODST: Now Out in Stores

By Crystal Jennings

Halo 3: ODST is one of the newest and most talked-about Xbox 360 games that are now hitting the market. Halo 3: ODST was published by Microsoft and was developed by Bungie. One of the new releases in the market, its release date was just last September 29, 2009.

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.

The Earth was attacked by an alliance of alien races right after a Covenant was undertaken. Specifically, the New Mombasa area was attacked. The members of the team ended up becoming isolated from one another while following their own quest. Thus, the responsibility of looking for his or her missing teammates lies on the hands of the protagonist. Achieving this task requires an exploration of the area by the protagonist.

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.

The Master Chief possesses several advanced skills such as moving and jumping swiftly, which the Rookie does not possess. Because the Rookie lacks the energy shield that absorbs damages used by the Master Chief, the Rookie capitalizes on maximizing the use of stamina mechanic.

The player needs to regain strength after incurring damages by getting adequate rest. A permanent harmful effect on the health may be caused if the damage exceeds the stamina threshold. The health of the player can be restored by utilizing medpacks that can be found in different locations all over the area. Thus, the player must look for these medpacks for health reasons.

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
