No Bungie DLC for Halo 3: ODST News

Best FPS bar none. Can't wait to play more Halo campaign! :)

Haven't they been working on other secret new projects since halo and nothing has came of it.

"Our amazing new product, innovative and fantastic... i present you... HALO 4"
/golf clap

Shut up bungie and do something ffs.

The unofficial word (rumour) is that bungie is working on 4 projects. ODST, That film thing and 2 unannounced titles (one will most likely be halo 4 for the next xbox launch).

What confuses me is that the Mythic map pack has three new maps (Sandbox, Assembly, Orbital) yet the achievement list mentions six new maps. What is the meaning of this?

So that also confirms that ODST itself is not considered DLC, then. Nice to know.

What would DLC for DLC be called? DLC squared? Mega-DLC?

i believe the other three maps will not be available until ODST comes out in November. Long time to wait for those bloody achievements though. Unless.... they release all six as DLC over marketplace. I hope the latter

I hope they are working on another Myth game to be honest. Or something new. Would love to see a brand new IP from Bungie.

Am I the only one who found the first Halo utterly absorbing but the other two, even though I played through to the end, just a bit meh?

I'm hoping that Bungie work on some new IPs (although Oni 2 would be nice) as I sure they must be sick of doing just Halo.

@schnide

if you're going from single player, then you're probably right...

I want Marathon next-gen. That is all.

>"Am I the only one who found the first Halo utterly absorbing but the other two, even though I played through to the end, just a bit meh? "

I'll tell you one thing, you are certainly not the first person to mention it, as it is mentioned in EVERY SINGLE HALO-RELATED THREAD.

No. In fact, I might be the only person here who loves all three of 'em.

Errr... Oni is also a "Halo universe" game.

Dizzy,

Is it? Thats the first I heard of that

Checks wikipedia, cuts and paste -

'Plot

The action of Oni takes place around the year 2032. The game world is a dystopia, an Earth so polluted that little of it remains habitable. To solve unspecified international economic crises, all nations have combined into a single entity, the World Coalition Government. The government is Orwellian, telling the populace that what are actually dangerously toxic regions are wilderness preserves, and using the Technological Crimes Task Force, its secret police, to spy on citizens and suppress opposition. The player character, code-named Konoko (voiced by Amanda Winn-Lee), full name later given as Mai Hasegawa, begins the game working for the police. Soon, she learns her employers have been keeping secrets about her past from her. She turns against them as she embarks on a quest of self-discovery. The player learns more about her family and origins while battling both the Technological Crimes Task Force and its greatest enemy, the equally monolithic criminal organization called the Syndicate. In the game's climax, Konoko discovers a Syndicate plan to cause the Atmospheric Conversion Centers, air-treatment plants necessary to keep most of the world's population alive, to catastrophically malfunction. She is partially successful in thwarting the plot, saving a portion of humanity. '

Am I missing something here but I see no connection

Dizzy is talking nonsense.

Don't forget, Halo: Chronicles is still be released so ODST is by no means the last of the Halo series in the near future.

Halo 3 was decent but not amazing. I expect the same from ODST, I'm glad they're letting it rest in peace after that.
The MP was good and forge was cool but I just got bored, don't have anything against Halo but It's turned kinda stale for me.

I, on the other hand, fucking love it and want more until I die of Halo suffocation.

"Haven't they been working on other secret new projects since halo and nothing has came of it."

Yeah, it's been a whole 18 months. Slackers.

I wonder if the Legendary map pack will become free once they release the Mythic one, just like the Heroic pack was free when they released the Legendary?

I've been holding back from buying it not for money, nor for want of playing on them, but because playing on paid packs is the sure way to ensure you play exclusively with people who take the whole thing FAR too seriously.

Halo 3 was... OK... I suppose but the series has been gradually getting more disappointing with each sequel for me and despite the flaws in the repetitive level design, nothing has come close to the thrill of playing the first game on the Xbox for the first time all those years ago.

I can't say that I'm particularly excited about ODST and Halo's online mode has never appealed to me anyway but at least Bungie are trying something a little different here so, who knows, maybe I'll be tempted to buy it if the campaign is good enough?

I do hope they've improved the dated graphics engine though...

So I have a question. If ODST comes with the new maps, how does this integrate with Halo 3? Does it copy the maps to the hard drive then you stick in your Halo 3 disc or will it be able to play multiplayer straight off the ODST disc, rendering your Halo 3 redundant?

ODST ships with all 24 Halo 3 maps on the disc.

Go type in Oni on Halo wiki then you'll see how it's part of the Halo universe. There part of the UNSC ffs, the Halo military in other words.

Yes, and they were talking about THE GAME CALLED ONI, which has nothing to do with the Office of Naval Intelligence in the Halo series.

Yes that just so happens to be by the same company you mean and is a special unit? I don't think they accidently called it Oni not realising it's game they'd already made do you?
