is the most anticipated game of the year. Yet some diehard Halo fans might be secretly wondering if the latest installment in the massively popular franchise will satisfy on all of the same levels that the previous three games did, especially given the absence of Master Chief.
Well, X-Play's resident Halo guru Mr. Sark was lucky enough to get some hands-on time with ODST, and if you are the one of those players worried about what awaits you in the new game, especially with regards to Bungie's take on the ever-present Horde-inspired game mode (Firefight), perk up your ears:
"Fighting unlimited waves of increasingly difficult enemies is kind of flavor of the month right now, and that's essentially what Firefight is. But what makes it stand out is Halo's spot on control. It's just a pleasure to play that style of game in the Halo world."
Mr. Sark had plenty more to say about the highly anticipated title, so be sure to check out the full video preview.

Gee, I wonder where those 2 thumbs down came from? (sarcasm) Could it be the 2 Xbox fanboys above me? Hmmm.

Sark hit it on the head - Halo has the pretty much the best weapon control of any console fps. I wonder why other games don't seem able (or willing) to match that.
Can't wait - and another full halo coming out next year? Man there are a lot of great games coming out (for both consoles).

I'll admit I've never been the biggest halo fan past the first installment, but I got excited when I heard that ODST would have stealthier gameplay. It looks like this isn't the case. In fact, the general badassery that I could count on when things like story or originality fell through isn't there either. I dunno, maybe I'm just jaded, but this thing looks bland and uninteresting. New IP's please.

im not a big Halo fan(you might already know im a Sony fanboy), but ill admit it looks like alot of fun, if only they made this a full game instead of a expansion id be more happy. In my opinion this is what Halo should of been, but either way im going to pick it up......

that graphic is from one of the visor that you will be able to use in the game.... the graphic are obviously better than wat it was in halo 3

@jonnybuku
by best weapon control is it like the button lay out or the aiming, because there is no way halo has better aiming that COD maybe im just used to COD but whenever i play halo it seems really jerky and not as fluent (granted, im a ps3 user so the sticks may be different or something)

This isnt just an expansion now. Originally it was sopposed to be, but they made the campaign ALOT bigger than they had planned starting off. Then they added Fire Fight which give this game major replayability.
Besides when has Bungie ever let us down?

Can you download the 3 new maps to play in Halo 3 or do you have to buy the entire game to get them?

Will ODST include forge?
