They looked soo badass in the game as well that it was only a matter of time before a game about them were made. You gotta admit ODST's were fucking awesome when you first saw them drop alongside you in Halo 2.
They also got beef with the Spartans too, maybe we will see a tutorial flashback where we see ODST's training with the many Spartans that used to exist.

I HATE HALO. WHY IS THERE MORE HALO.
Lower orbit drop? Possible that they stay attached to avoid collisions in larger deployments?
Who knows!
If you watch the low bandwidth version once out of the corner of your eye maybe.

ThatGuy said:I hate to say that, BUT i was absolutely right with a short CGI trailer which says nothing like the "God of War 3" trailer.

lol at the outrage. You guys need to manage your own expectations a little better. Everyone wants to know everything at once, but I've come to expect the constant tickling of my ass with a feather from Bungle.
It's just how they do it.

At the end of the trailer, a single "thing" is streaking towards the ground. Spartan, or just random debris?

Well the "explosion" in the city looks like the scene where they jumpspace as opposed to the ark opening.
I imagine it would start there and then carry us through the event son Earth as Chief goes to High Charity and back, and perhaps even into the Halo 3 time line.
Maybe I am wrong... It is a Halo 3 game or expansion or whatever, so it would have to be part of its' time line in some fashion. Maybe it's just on there for marketing? Or that's what they are calling it for right now.

Oooh good point. Remember the Neill Blomkamp short videos where the ODST team was attempting to lase the falling Master Chief to ascertain his landing area?
Hmmm. If it's New Mombassa, it's been re-imagined. The space tether + white explosion made me thing it was, but visually it was very different in Halo 2.
Here's New Mombassa in Halo 2:
The city shot from this teaser:
And here's the two explosions, first from Halo 2 and then from this teaser:
Not really sure what to think now.

People are pissed because this announcement was delayed 3 months only to find the trailer explains absolutely nothing. I think it's a reasonable complaint. It doesn't bother me, but I still would of liked the water to be cleared up.

Ghaleon, it's 100% New Mombasa. Not sure when, but it's definitely that city. There is a sign at one point that says so, and on the SI's green screen it has a little logo that says New Mombasa.

I thought it was cool, its a teaser that teased, exactly what it was suppose to do, nothing more, but now we need some more info.

So I was wrong and this is New Mombasa or very close to it. However, the orbital elevator is still standing (though looks pretty beat up now). Also, who would the enemy be for this? How many convenant were left after the slipspace jump? The force jumping to Earth was pretty small in Halo 2 since they weren't expecting it to be the humans home planet. Also, the flood references are confusing since there was no sign of flood on Earth until Halo 3. Interesting...
Haha oh man.
A mixture of disappointment in having no clear idea who the enemy is going to be, and excitement at the idea of playing as helljumpers.
The set up is clear - this is New Mombasa right after the explosion. Helljumpers were jumping in as reinforcements just as the explosion was taking place. Then some time after the explosion takes place, a solitary ODST comes jumping down.
Who are you fighting? Remaining Covenant forces?
The reason this is a Halo 3 expansion and not Halo 4 is because you're not fighting as the Master Chief.
Also, I predicted a long time ago that Bungie might re-use the Halo 3 engine for their next game instead of going back to the drawing board and creating a whole new engine. A lot of time was invested in the Halo 3 engine and toolset and it makes sense to release another game using the same engine instead of spending 2 years on development technology while at the same time attempting to build a game on top of new and technology.
It makes sense in the same way that we might actually see 3 Mass Effect games in this console generation because they're using a well established engine.
*Edit*
You're the clean up crew who is supposed to fight the few Covenant forces left behind in the city.

I'm not sure what to think about this yet.
1). Why was this held from E3? This decision makes even less sense then before
2). Is this just an expansion pack? Really?
3). Trailer looked awesome. Well done ad. They should run those on tv, just like that.
4). Where / What is the secret press event? I'd guess the cat's out the bag now.
5). When do we see more?

I guess EB will be raising the price of used Halo 3 copies shortly.

That doesn't make any sense because one of the skulls is an "Assembly Skull" which is a multiplayer map. They aren't tide to the new project.

I think that the reveal MS canceled would have been more extensive. For them to incite the ire of Bungie fans over a 1 minute teaser? Doesn't seem worth it. (damn - beated by dirtbag)DancingJesus said:
Now that we're well past the E3 craziness, I'd expect the drip feed to commence.
Also - campaign expansion!! Holla.
