Halo 3: ODST; Another Bungie Success?

With the success of Halo 3, game developer Bungie Studios is making yet another Halo game to add to the series. Halo 3: ODST (formally known as Halo 3: Recon) takes place during Halo 2 in a now ruined New Mombasa in a city called Kenya. Although this game is very different from previous titles. You don't play as the Master Chief. Instead you play as an ODST Lance Corporal, who goes by the name of "The Rookie." According to recent information, the player must search for beacons across the city of New Mombasa, and it is up to the player how they get to the specific location, which gives the game an open-world feeling that is new for the series. When you find one of these objects, they send the player back in time to find out what happened to one of your four squadmates (their names are: Mickey, Dutch, Romeo, and Buck). Along with this new play style, you also lose the ability to duel-wield weapons and other things.

I think that this new style of play will be a great success for Bungie, and a fun and challenging game for all Halo fans. Halo 3: ODST is Preparing to Drop in Fall of 2009.
