The classic Bungie ViDoc returns to help guide you through the dark and dangerous city of New Mombasa.  Read the description, pick your poison, and prepare to drop.  7 days and counting.

Halo 3: ODST ViDoc – “Terra Incognita”

A Covenant warship dominates the sky over New Mombasa. The evacuated city burns below. You are an ODST, one of the few soldiers ready and willing to drop in and put up a fight. But before you head feet first into the city and experience Halo from a fresh perspective, get an inside look at the creative process behind Halo 3: ODST straight from the strike team at Bungie that got the job done. To complete their mission, they had to explore some dark and uncharted territory of their own. Download this VIDOC and get briefed on the vision, technology and tactics it took to bring the city of New Mombasa and Halo 3: ODST to life.
