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

Ok, in ODST, we shall delve a bit into the past of some of the squad. This will probably be Buck and Dare only though. It will have 10 or more missions. About 4 of those will be flashback. The campaign will feature the ODST's fighting the Covenent before the destruction or news from the ark. Dutch will die and mickey will go AWOL for revenge. The squad will split into different groups. Rookie with Dare and Romeo with Buck. On the way into the Covenent planet/ship, they'll find Virgil captured by the Covenent to kill all the humans, or hijacked/sent to help and hacks into the mainframe. They find that for their new weapon/experiment, they need a dead human body for DNA and battle strategy to have a clue on what the ODST's will do. They hack into the cameras and find Mickey about to be harvested. Mickey helps by setting up explosives throughout the ship. They are about to escape when Mickey says he made a promise to Dutch. They go find his body and carry to the escape area. There, it turns out that the unfinished creature is there, waiting for them. They almost kill it but then it's grabs Dutch. It starts to assimilate his body. You then take control of Mickey. You kill the creature. You retrieve Dutch's body. After the escape and credits. You see Mickey's promise; have Dutch flash-cloned so he can live one last day with his friends and family. I know this is a bunch, but here is basically the plot to ODST 2 with the flashbacks and ODST 3 with dead dutch [Edited on 06.27.2011 5:33 AM PDT]
