Just a few questions about the multiplayer. I read on wiki that the MP will be basically identical to Halo 3, so will it be compatible with Halo 3? And does it have any new MP features to bring people across to the new title

There isn't actually a ODST multiplayer.  ODST just comes with all the Halo 3 maps ever made plus 3 new ones.  But they do have another multiplayer mode called firefight, which will be like gears of war horde mode.

So can you just play the Halo 3 MP from the ODST disc? Anyway, I think about 4m probably, as most of the sales of Halo are for MP, so I think most owners won't bother gravitating over

Hmm, I think people into Halo MP would get ODST just from sheer fanatacism...if not the Reach Beta.

Now, it might only sell 4m...but everyone who is really into Halo MP is gonna buy it, make no mistake.

Well the relatively poor sales of Halo Wars compared to the all other Halo games says to me they are not that fanatic about the name, more about the multiplayer, and with nothing new being added to that, and the fact that they want to just to play the game with their friends, who all have Halo 3

I wouldn't factor in Halo Wars, when making my prediction. Just my opinion. Online multiplayer fans....are actually smart. They aren't your average videogame consumers.



I don't need your console war.
It feeds the rich while it buries the poor.
You're power hungry, spinnin' stories, and bein' graphics whores.
I don't need your console war.

NO NO, NO NO NO.

You do realize that halo wars sold fantastically well for an RTS don't you? 

If it is heavily advertised ODST may get around 3 M FW and 5-6 by year end.

Smart? Seriously, what is the steroetype Halo fan? Anyway, I would guess many of them would upgrade, but can people play ODST against those with 3?

I don't want to speak for Munkeh, but I think he was pointing out it sold poorly for a game in the Halo Universe.  A small numbers on fans on this site mistakenly thought MS could slap the Halo brand on anything and sell 5 million units.

I have a question about OSDT, if I don't have Halo 3 can I still play Halo 3 MP through ODST?  How long is the sp campaign, it was originally announced at 4 hours, but E3 seemed to suggest it was more like 7 - 9 hours?  How long was Halo 3's campaign?



Thanks for the input, Jeff.

@ dbot, like 6 hours, but it was not great anyway 90% of people who bought Halo 3 got it for the online



rafichamp on 28 June 2009

^^40% got it for online, other %60 just got it b/c everyone else had it.

I think 9mil is absurd, even with the Reach beta.

I'll say:

FW - 2mil
09 - 4mil
LTD - 6mil

With Halo 3, the marketing was insanely big and people had been waiting 2 years for the arrival of Master Chief onto the next gen Xbox. I don't see the anticipation this time around being almost as much, despite all the surveys lately.

As with Halo Wars, I also expect a strong showing in the traded-in section.

Dude I asked for a prediction not your opinion on my predictions.

To play online with their friends, or because you had to have Halo 3 if you had an Xbox?



rafichamp on 28 June 2009

^^@Munkeh, ya, you pretty much have to have Halo 3 if you have anything to do with Xbox
