Get Your Very Own Xbox 360 Halo 3 ODST

By Crystal Jennings

Microsoft, as the publisher, and Bungie, as the developer, just recently launched its newest offering in the market, Halo 3: ODST. Released just last September 29, 2009, Halo 3: ODST has rapidly captured the interest of Halo fanatics and video game console enthusiasts.

A first person shooting scenario is the core of this video game. The protagonist of the game is among the many elite human soldiers that comprise the organization called the United Nations Space Command (UNSC).

The Earth was attacked by an alliance of alien races right after a Covenant was undertaken. Specifically, the New Mombasa area was attacked. The members of the team ended up becoming isolated from one another while following their own quest. Thus, the responsibility of looking for his or her missing teammates lies on the hands of the protagonist. Achieving this task requires an exploration of the area by the protagonist.

Because they would often wrongly attribute the role of being the lead character in the Halo 3: ODST to the Master Chief, most individuals would often associate Halo 3: ODST to other versions of Halo that have been released earlier. However, contrary to such misconceptions, the Master Chief is not the lead character but it is the lone soldier from UNSC, also known as the Rookie, that plays the lead role.

The advanced skills possessed by the Master Chief, such as moving and jumping fast is not possessed by the Rookie. The Rookie also lacks the energy shield that absorbs damages, an asset weapon possessed by the Master Chief. Instead, a stamina mechanic is utilized by our protagonist, the Rookie.

The player needs to regain strength after incurring damages by getting adequate rest. A permanent harmful effect on the health may be caused if the damage exceeds the stamina threshold. The health of the player can be restored by utilizing medpacks that can be found in different locations all over the area. Thus, the player must look for these medpacks for health reasons.

I hope that the article is enough to make you eager to start playing with Halo 3: ODST. There are surely a lot more outstanding features to expect from this awesome game. - 29852
