  • From what I understand, Halo 3: ODST used the same game engine as Halo 3 did, as well as the storyline of took place inbetween the events of Halo 2 and Halo 3.

  • [quote][b]Posted by:[/b] redm0nkey Because its done on the exact same engine as Halo 3 and re-uses many Halo 3 assets. I do see what you are saying though, calling it just Halo: ODST would have been better. [/quote]

  • [quote][b]Posted by:[/b] LongMasterWolf [quote][b]Posted by:[/b] ajw34307 Er... I suggest you replay the game. This is more relevant to the story of Halo 3 than Halo 2 was, ODST tells the story of the portal artefact's discovery on Earth in massive detail in the Audio Logs.[/quote] Exactly It may take place prior to H3, but it centers on the events in H3.[/quote] Sums it up.
