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

Still think you should be able to do like a SW Battlefield style map, in like another new section instead of firefight, kinda what they were going to do with reach with the global battle thingy, where there is for example, UNSC and Covie ship in air and you can go down in pelican, drop pod etc. (and steer it) and then battle in the ground below, having scorpions and such dropped of by pelicans or such. Personally I would like a campaign where you create your ODST and play as him like in Reach, and also have more ODST Drop pod scenes as well as choosing starting weapons, squad members, specialty etc.

[quote][b]Posted by:[/b] Dark Rush z28 Wouldn't it be something if it was also a prequel like Reach? Perhaps even in New Alexandria? Just an idea. It doesn't always have to be far in the future.[/quote] I think that would be really cool.

Maby they can do games like the books (The fall of reach,the flood,cole protocol...)

I think there should be in the campaign a part where you can be a Recon Spartan that has been sent in to face off an invasion of Covenant. Also a new SMG which should have a scope that zooms in more, and is a little bit like a sniper.

I want a ODST 2. I doubt they would make it though. I think the campaign should take place somewhere else.

It could be set in the battle of harvest, moving on to the forerunner shield world. il love to see it from the point of an ODST's as they drop from orbit. [Edited on 08.19.2011 4:39 AM PDT]

Every single one is great, but I think in Firefight you start in a ship in low orbit and every time you die you spawn their. You then get the weapons you can and drop.
