Description

Halo 3: ODST Limited Collector's Edition comes with a Halo themed Xbox 360 Wireless Controller.

Developed exclusively for Xbox 360 by acclaimed developer Bungie, "Halo 3: ODST" is a new game in the "Halo" saga that lets people experience events leading up to the epic story told in "Halo 3" through the eyes of an ODST (Orbital Drop Shock Trooper), as they search for clues leading to the whereabouts of their scattered squad and the motivations behind the Covenant's invasion of New Mombasa. The release adds a new dimension to an all-encompassing universe that gamers around the world have known and loved for close to eight years.

"Halo 3: ODST" also introduces Firefight, a new cooperative multiplayer* mode where up to four players can assume the role of an ODST squad and fight together to take on increasingly challenging waves of enemies. Also included are three new "Halo 3" multiplayer maps on a 2nd standalone disc, which includes all original "Halo 3" maps, as well as the "Legendary," "Heroic," and "Mythic" Map packs for a total of 24 maps.

Features:
  • All-new campaign content. The "Halo 3: ODST" campaign explores mysterious events leading up to the Master Chief's return to New Mombasa in "Halo 3." Experience the fate of Earth from the brand-new perspective of a special forces ODST (Orbital Drop Shock Trooper), adding a unique outlook and new gameplay elements to the events that unfold in the trilogy's finale. This new chapter captures the same great feel of previous "Halo" experiences while offering fans new tactics, tools and weapons to defeat the Covenant.
  • A new hero: Prepare to drop. ODSTs or "Orbital Drop Shock Troopers" are highly-trained special forces operators. Known for their courage, valor and willingness to tackle missions no sane soldier would, ODSTs pride themselves on being the first unit deployed into hostile situations, often in one-man drop-pods that burn through planetary atmospheres at break-neck speed.
  • Expanded multiplayer experience. No "Halo" game would be complete without groundbreaking multiplayer content. "Halo 3: ODST" introduces an entirely new way to play "Halo" with Firefight, a cooperative multiplayer mode included on the campaign disc that lets up to four people jump immediately into combat. As an ODST squad, you will face increasingly challenging waves of enemies together, striving to earn the highest scores possible, while various "Halo 3" "Skulls" are progressively activated. The experience is intense and ever-evolving. "Halo 3: ODST" also includes a separate, standalone multiplayer disc which includes three new "Halo 3" multiplayer maps, all original "Halo 3" maps, as well as the "Legendary," "Heroic," and "Mythic" Map packs for a total of 24 maps.
  • Ever-growing community options. Players will continue to enjoy all the great "Halo 3" technological innovations, including Saved Films, screenshots, Campaign Scoring and four-player co-op over Xbox LIVE. All of the new "Halo 3" multiplayer maps fully support the Forge editor, offering near endless gameplay customization possibilities for fans.
  • Key to "Halo: Reach." As a special bonus for fans, all copies of "Halo 3: ODST" will provide access to the "Halo: Reach" multiplayer beta when the beta goes live. More information about the "Halo: Reach" multiplayer beta will be shared at a later date.

5 stars "Awesome"
I don't want to bore you with details but there are two things you should know!

1. Firefight, if you loved Gears 2 horde mode you'll love this!

2. Halo: Reach Beta. Face it, you're buying it 'cos you love Halo, getting into the Halo: Reach Beta is fantastic value.

Why should anyone else who hasn't played this game get it? Quite simply Bungies gameplay is 2nd to none. Theres a reason why the average playtime over 10 million copies of Halo 3 is 100 hours!

5 stars "Going to be epic"
Firstly if you have played halo 3 you will already know of bungies amazing work. ODST is going to be the next best thing since sliced bread. I cant wait to play it. With fire fight and the onloine gameplay that I know is going to awesome, Halo 3 ODST is going to offer the same awesome gameplay that halo 3 did.

Review by Niraj on 31st October, 2009
4 stars "Great game, could have used multiplayer search functions."
It's an expansion to Halo 3 more than a game in its own right in my opinion. However being an ODST means you can't blindly charge at enemies like you could in Halo 3.

I prefer the new game style, but then again I was pretty cowardly in Halo 3.

The controller is pretty - but it's really just a novelty. I think if you are considering this game the special edition doesn't offer much more than the original.

All in all, it's a great game and worth having in your Xbox360 collection. I gave it 4 stars and not 5 because you can't multiplayer search for firefight companions. It seems like it would have been pretty easy for them to just incorporate the multiplayer functionality form Halo 3 into it :S

Review by Sam on 9th October, 2009
5 stars "Definitly NOT just an expansion for Halo 3!"
I was apprehensive to buy this at first, I already had Halo 3 so I was buying this pack to take advantage of the relatively cheap game/controller combo, now i am glad my old controller was getting past it because it lead me to one of the most enjoyable games I have played in a long time.

Fans of the Halo Series will love this, and people who thought that Bungie had lost their way after Halo 1 will be pleasantly surprised by the way the OSDT team has brought back some of the features that made the original game fun. Sniping pistols, health that doesn't just come all the way back and what sometimes feels like an infinite number of enemies make for some exciting game-play and the voice acting cast and war-torn city make for a very atmospheric environment.

While it may be over quickly, you will come back to this either on your own or with a group of friends.

5 stars "Mighty Ape you rock!!!"
Mighty Ape really impressed me with their service and was a great help. I will absolutely use them again especially seeing that they stock a lot of great goodies.

i was told that halo 3 odst was not able to be purchased from jb hi-fi, eb games, gamesman and a whole lot of other places as pre orders had consumed the national quota. i found Mighty Ape online and was able to pick up my copy on the day the game was released. i could have had it delivered right to my door in palmerston north but i was in auckland that week anyway, besides it gave me the chance to see their headquarters. man they got lots of cool stuff.

Mighty Ape you were a life saver and i look forward to dealing with you again and again. thank you sooo much
