XBOX 360 Halo 3: ODST

Product detailed description

Halo 3: ODST (Orbital Drop Shock Troopers) is an action sci-fi first-person shooter developed by Bungie and published by Microsoft Game Studios for the Xbox 360. The game was originally released in September 2009 and is part of the Halo series of games.

The game's story takes place in the fictional Halo universe, specifically on a planet named New Mombasa. Players control a unit of special soldiers called the Orbital Drop Shock Troopers (ODST), who are deployed to fight against the alien Covenant Alliance. Unlike previous games in the Halo series, where players controlled Master Chief super soldiers, in ODST they play as less durable and less equipped soldiers.

The game is set in the events between Halo 2 and Halo 3. The story follows a group of ODST soldiers as they try to find out what happened to their missing commander while uncovering the reason behind the Covenant invasion of New Mombasa. Players gradually uncover the game's plot through flashbacks that are activated after finding evidence in the open world of the city.

The core gameplay is similar to other games in the Halo series, with a focus on fast-paced, action-packed encounters with enemies. Players can use a wide variety of weapons and vehicles, while relying on their tactical skills. Compared to previous installments in the series, Halo 3: ODST introduces more stealth elements and tactical decision-making due to the limited abilities of ODST soldiers.

Halo 3: ODST also features an expanded multiplayer mode that includes four-player co-op play in Firefight mode, where players battle against endless waves of enemies. In addition, the game comes with complete multiplayer content from Halo 3, including all maps and game modes.

Overall, Halo 3: ODST is considered a quality and unique addition to the Halo franchise, bringing new elements while maintaining the classic feel of the Halo games.
