it might get sold out since it is so popular so pre-ordering might be smart.

i was reading up on it on wikipedia. Online sounds pretty sick. They have their own twist of Nazi Zombies for halo which could be pretty sweet. And there is no more gay superhuman powers like in other halos. Ur just a normal infantrymen

this is really the only thing that interests me, maybe the new maps too. I used to always play halo but lately i've been playing cod and its way easier and more laid back. halo is a bit too hard, cod is way easier which is more fun

i'm not as excited about MW2 because i love COD4 for the intense fighting, MW2 is just a refinement to cod4, the halo series has always had compelling stories. ODST brings halo's great storyline and adds a new twist. That is why i am really looking forward to ODST.

ODST stands for Orbital Drop Shock Trooper.

Anyone played it? I played a little last night and it is pretty tight so far I am more stoked for the multiplayer. I have only see the smg with the scope I hope there are some other new weapons.

its not really the same pistol. It is way weaker and less accurate when you fire quickly. I think it might have a larger clip as well. It sucks against the elites and brutes. not 3 shot like in halo 1.

if you pre-ordered you got an invite to the reach multiplayer public beta testing (a.k.a. the multiplayer will be different from the other games, because if was just new maps and skins they wouldn't need public beta testing).
