Post your ideas for ODST 2!
Only the hardcore ODST lovers come here, so it's up to us to turn this thread into a hypothetical compilation of what [i]could[/i] have been a sequel to Halo ODST. Let's come up with a plot, some key gameplay elements, modes, etc. and share them here. I'll keep this thread updated and gradually organize it as our design progresses. I'll start by listing some things we can go off of:
[b]Story:[/b]
New Mombassa wasn't fully explored in ODST, so we could say that there were other ODST's in this city that fought in the battle in a different way. We could experience the story from different "Echo Team" who encountered Buck and his squad at some point during fighting in the city. Echo has their own mission to complete within the city.
Or we don't even have to do it during this point in the city. The ODST's can drop in before the carrier goes into slip space and help the chief in old mombassa. The ODST's don't even have to be in the city--we can drop them to a completely different battle. Heck, we can even drop them on Reach and have them assist in the battles there. What about Harvest? Though if we drop them there, we lose the urban feeling, which was great and could be expanded on.
[b]Gameplay:[/b]
> The ODST's can now Sprint at all times.
> VISR mode now does infrared and thermal modes, in addition to its night vision
> You also have a standard flashlight in case VISR is too glaring
> Assassinations are possible for ODST's as well (pioneered by Buck!)
> You can pick up biofoam like equipment to heal yourself and your teammates later on
> Compass comes back off course--anything to add to the detective feeling
[b]Features[/b]
> Fully customizable ODST's
> Firefight is back (pretty insane...) with ODST inspired modes
> New "Battle Bro" mode for 2 that gives you specific missions to complete
> Actual multiplayer mode with various styles of gameplay and tactical combat
> OPERATION--Invasion-style gameplay, except ODST's have to complete objectives and elites/brutes have to stop them
> Play as Brutes and Elites

[quote][b]Posted by:[/b] Sector Z 157 I had always imagined that if another ODST title were to occur, then it would start off in the Rookie's pod. As the slip space occurs, it shows the rookie concentrate on another pod, and the camera shift to the inside of it. At least, I think that it would be cool. Anyone else wish that they could have played as an ODST in say Halo 2 and fight with the Chief. I loved the moment, such as the intro to Crow's Nest when the marine says "No way, a Spartan?!", "We're gonna be okay". Being one of those soldiers and having hope shine in you eyes makes me smile. [i]Each and every time.[/i][/quote] I like the idea of having the story coincide with things that we've already done in previous Halo games. It's such a cool feeling to have a completely different take on something you did as Master Chief. It allows you to maybe find out things that you didn't know before. There are so many possibilities. Like, maybe when the Chief goes through an area where a battle had just raged, maybe that was an intense battle that your ODSTs fought and was a huge part of their story. It doesn't really seem to be anything when you're the Chief, but now knowing the ODSTs story, it's so much more. [Edited on 05.14.2012 6:16 AM PDT]
