![]() Firefight is a mode where wave after wave of enemies will be dropped and try to overtake your position, each wave increasing in difficulty. It's a multiplayer mode that can be extremely entertaining or extremely frustrating depending on who you play with. FIREFIGHT: Firefight is a new addition to the Halo universe. Just as a side note, get ready for some backtracking in ODST. The enemies of the game don't really strike me as any different than before, other than seeming much harder to kill at certain times (a single Brute can sometimes seem to take ages to take his shields down) and with ammo being fairly scarce, you really need to think before you act. A much higher level of caution is required. This means you die easier, you cannot move as fast or jump as high, and there is no dual wielding this time around. The most prevalent con, simply put, is that you are no longer a SPARTAN. You now have the ability to use the VISR, a handy attachment built into your helmet that lets you see in the dark, outlines enemies red, friendlies green, and objectives in yellow. Pros being you have a different HUD system. Will you go through the dark, close-quarters building or will you fight it out in the streets? There are some pros and cons to being an ODST in this game. Like I said before, the city's AI will block off some passages while leaving others open, there are still many routes to take to find your next objective. Essentially, you have the ability to wander the streets as you see fit. GAMEPLAY: ODST is a very open ended game when compared to the others in the franchise. If you are a fan of the Halo storyline, the tale this game gives you is quite the addition. Each person in your squad has their own story to tell, all happening at different times after your initial drop onto the planet. Find a new clue and you get a flashback sequence to play as the squad mate that left said clue. While the AI is a bit screwy, you will notice help from time to time in the form of certain doors being locked barring your way from one clue, but only to bring you to the next vital clue. You have a bit of help from the city's AI, The Superintendent. You're not quite alone in your search though. ![]() It's your job to guide Rookie through the streets of New Mombasa, exploring, fighting, and slowly piecing together clues to what happened to the rest of your team. Not long into the game, you are separated from your squad. You play the part of the Rookie, the newest member of an elite squad of Orbital Drop Shock Troopers. STORY/PLOT: Halo 3: ODST comes to us as a side story to Halo 2. Also, with ODST comes a second disc containing Halo 3's multiplayer and every single map made for it. ![]() ODST comes with Firefight, a new mode like Gears of War's Horde and World at War's Nazi Zombies. While this new campaign is fairly short, it offers some good storyline to those out there who love the Halo universe. ![]()
