And for people that isn't sure, Reach is originally an Human world that they colonized and then later lost it to Covenant, It was one of bestest military world something they had.Not so best that they lost it to the Covenant.
Well, for a world with 20 MAC guns and 100+ UNSC ships against 300+ Covenant ships and a Covenant flagship, they held off pretty well until the groundside fusion reactors for the MAC guns were disable and another 36 Covenant ships jumped in from slipspace. Not much that you can do with those odds, not against guided plasma torpedoes at least. No other planet even have MAC guns except Earth.
Hee, entirely good point.
Yeah, I don't think I'm going to pre-order. The bonuses are nice, but not anything special to the point of wasting another $10 on. There are plenty of DLCs that I'd rather download instead.
Keyword: "Was" the bestest defended world they had. XP was!
I'm sure we will get super heavy action to play in Halo:Reach.. Hopefully maybe they'll let us play one of the spaceships for the pew pew fun or turn a MAC gun onto the helpless covenant troops on the ground XP <.<

Well, in Halo 2, the first level you're fighting on (the Cairo station) is actually a MAC gun - close enough, but that would be fun, a survival mode to keep blasting Covenant ships by controlling a MAC gun until you got destroyed.

Which would lead to someone having a record of two thousand flagships downed in one match, leading to the question of how Reach fell in the first place.

@arizth and Tsurayu: it'll be something like a sidegame with obviously no ties to the actual canon storyline. But, I'm just throwing it out there to swill.

Bungie said that to complainers about Sgt.Johnson shouldn't be able to use the night vision something that comes with odst helmet to differ from enemy to ally.

Speaking about canon, Halo 3 ODST has some non-canon theme such as using brutes as their main force and halo 3 ish gear. Though im not complainin bout the game itself and i'll be the first in line to buy it, its just...the weirdness of it all.
On a side note, didnt they have something like that in Halo wars? not the ship killin part but using the MAC gun to blow stuff up.
also, earth has bout 300 Super MAC guns, compared to Reach's 20. In the end, a fraction of the ships that killed Reach managed to bypass those defences. somethings not right there.

I wouldn't be surprised to see an ODST facing off a brute on Earth, and in the novel First Strike, Blue team that consisted of Spartans Fred, Linda, and Will encountered brutes on the ground on Earth. So it isn't out of realm.

No way the Covenant would sit and let the MAC rounds punch through them if their objective was to simply slaughter all traces of human life.

I'm preordering this today. I'm definitely excited for it. The story actually looks somewhat interesting, anyway.
The Halo: Reach beta is cool too. :D

Yeah, I got a Bungie message when I was playing Halo 3 in reference to pre-ordering ODST. I probably would have considered it, but I'm not gonna even have $60 by the time the game comes out. >.<

So it seems like in the Halo Universe, ODST is like a Futuristic Speznatz. Trailer was cool though.

I was certain that they wouldn't stop milking this franchise. These games are great! I've read a bit of the books and Master Chief is one of the sexiest men in video game history. At least Bungie is trying to flesh out the story a bit more with the ODST's. It's a nice change of pace to play as a "regular" soldier.

erm... downloading this game right now... ugh, this friend of mine gave me double-layered DVD and asked to burn image of halo: odst. piracy is bad, but whatever :)
