You get paired with prefered players, and you can invite your friends to a party to play with them. So it's only "random" if you like no one and you don't have any friends...

You can mute people, or set everyone to be muted by default.

Yeah, you'll never have a completely "sin free" game on Halo 3/Live unless you play customs with a bunch of people you know. If someone on live really thinks you suck, trust me, they'll send a message if they can't talk to you because you've muted them. :P

Just heard about Reach. Yet another Halo game I must buy. I'm definitely buying ODST the day it comes out to get in the Reach MP beta.

*Cough*Crysisisbetter*Cough*

No but, seriously I liked Halo 3 and Halo 2 the best. The one thing that I didn't like about the series though was that they got easier as you went trough the saga. Halo 1 legendary is WAAAAAY harder than Halo 3 legendary, if you don't believe me try it.

lol mid-life crysis in mah halo thread.

Anyways, ODST is shaping up to be a really good game, with the addition of Firefight. Endless waves of Brutes, Grunts, Hunters, Wraiths...and there's limited ammo. In their newest podcast, Bungie says that apparently you should probably save rockets for Hunters, because they were horribly killed due to Joe Staten wasting them on minor enemies, like Grunts. :P

Are we talking about the ODST expansion for Halo 3? I thought it was changed to Halo Recon.

The title Halo: Recon is no longer in existence. It's Halo: ODST now. :P


Yeah, Bungie really went all out with ODST gameplay for us here at E3.

And here I type a statement I'm sure everyone will refute the moment they read it.

Did anyone else think that ODST looked a bit like Republic Commando combined with Metroid plus some added awesomeness that Halo gives it? The whole visor thing and the squad stuff, even when he was arming the bombs, don't know how many bombs I armed in Republic Commando...

Still looks amazing, and who wouldn't like a mixture of Metroid and Republic Commando added to the insanity that is already Halo? (that's rhetorical :wink:)
