Halo 3: ODST (previously Halo 3 : Recon), is slated for release this fall, as an FPS gamer; and as a huge Halo fan (if you haven't yet, and you have time take a look at the book series) I'm really excited to play ODST.
Orbital Drop Shock Troopers is different from the other games in the Halo sandbox that is their universe, as your not playing as the famous 117, Master Chief. The main playable character, 'The Rookie', is human; pure, un-genetically modified, 100% pure human. This means No super speed and strength, no Spartan armor, and a biggie, no dual wielding.
But that does not make the ODST members weak by any means; They get the best and the brightest shiney new gear to kick butt with. Stealth and finesse take the place of the cavalry charge style of Spartan combat. With the new and returned weaponry (the suppressed SMG, and the M6D (a vairant of the original Halo:Combat Evolved pistol)) its still an open game.
The controls of the released footage and demo's look insane. The Open world segments of New Mombosa, offer a lot of game play options, and I am pleased to say it will look great in 1080p Hi Def.
As usual Bungie will be bringing back their Cooperative play for campaign (still 1-4 players) and there will be maps that have content for the original HALO 3 game.
All in all, this fall looks to be another very good Halo year.
