Making of - Halo 3: ODST [Behind the Scenes]

[@ThisBirdHasFlown]

ODST is pretty underappreciated. Sadie's Story, the intense night time atmosphere and genuinely genius score are essential parts of my childhood. It could have been so much more, but it's still superb as is and often goes under the radar. Marty's music is again phenomenal and features his best work in my opinion. 1:00 this sends shivers down my spine. This piece of music is so evocative. Masterful textures. Unnerving and mysterious. God I can't believe how talented Marty and Michael are.

Next to Halo CE, I see ODST as the most innovative game in the series. It really took what was good about CE into an entirely new direction while still being familiar.

[@TheSocratesofAthens]

For me, it felt like an add-on rather than a full game. Hence, I didn't care to buy it since "finishing the fight". Most of it looks like what Halo 2 would have been, through the E3 demo.

3:50 woahh i love the unedited audio D: it sounds so good, i think personally they shoudlve just kept the raw realistic gun sound but fixed it up a bit. It sounds really good, at least to me 😄

[@thewhitewolf4968]

a good way to start off the morning!!

[@Madmike772]

The OST really made this game.. deserves rewards on every level

[@Moe_Lester_fromUptwn]

Such amazing times. Thanks for this.

[@zophynoy2452]

i feel lik this game transcends time, i do not know why in halo 5 they did not make the characters this likable. i want more odst games, not to mention the score in this game is so legendary that i still listen to it till this day

[@wilsonfilho531]

Those were great times and great games

[@whackysniper7707]

God i love ODST

[@HHFNK101]

not a single rain drop was rendered in the making of this game. thats crazy considering its Noir inspiration.

[@MelStaub]

Don't know why they said that, there is rain in the finished game.

[@Deluca-Piano]

This game had an awesome soundtrack and feel. It was really different. I loved the noir feel.

[@dogloversrule8476]

The only thing that would make ODST better would be if you had to command the squad to survive like in Star Wars Republic Commando

Sev and The Rookie, i miss em

[@dogloversrule8476]

[@raiden6156]

That and real stealth mechanics + making your guy weaker than Chief (which, logically, he should have been) to incentivize stealth and using your squad

[@Thegeobot]

i stronghly deesagre that is just not Halo, i hate having to constantly baby sit AI squadmates, WHAT ABOUT THE SCREEN NOT TURNING RED WHEN TAKING DAMAGE? IT MAKES THE WHOLE GAME UGLY CONSTANTLY

[@Zay18k]

i will never get over how beautiful of a masterpiece this game is

[@Blackphillipsupporter]

IMO this was the best campaign out of all the Halo games

[@humberto45333]

It’s not even close to the storytelling of 2

[@JordanDCGehl]

Totally.

[@Random_98765]

It makes me so sad we're never gonna have passion like this agein😔

[@lefty_rios]

I was deceived they give this same attention to the TV show and Infinite but nope. Just falling apart

[@Random_98765]

@left_rios bro could you imagine an odst show? Omg I'd re watch it for years

[@lefty_rios]

@@Random_98765 that’d be amazing dude

[@JakeTheComicBookDude]

ODST’s were introduced in Halo 2 as NPC’s, this Halo 3 spinoff is underrated and I like the different feeling of playing as a weaker class soldier, compared to the more powerful Spartans like Noble Six and Master Chief.

The cherry on top of the Halo sundae.

I've kept this soundtrack on me at all times since we still used mp3/video players.

The only thing in ODST I did not like was the enemy lineup. It takes place during the events of Halo 2, before the Elites were fully replaced by the Brutes. But in ODST the Brutes had already taken over, and there was not a single sign of Elites anywhere in the game, not even betrayed corpses of them. On top of that, the armor the Brutes used was advanced shielded armor that they did not get access to for a few weeks to a month after their replacement of the Elites leading into the timeline of Halo 3. The game should have featured Elites as the main command enemy with Brutes mixed in from time to time in a similar fashion to what Reach ended up doing, not already have the Elites fully replaced by the Brutes yet.

[@mayorofbagtown9097]

In Buck's first mission, you can find a bunch of dead elites and Buck will comment on them. He even asks someone on his comms about it.

[@Deluca-Piano]

That's what I was gonna say. He's gotta go back and play it again and pay more attention.😂​@@mayorofbagtown9097

[@p.snowman7492]

This game was good but it was a missed opportunity to have more orbital drops.

[@nickjuarez4062]

Given the greed of Microsoft and the mishandling of the Halo franchise as a whole We are lucky we even got this game It was meant to be an expansion yes, and as a full game it could have had more features including multiplayer and forge. At the very least matching making for firefight. But a game like this would have never been green lit today. We only got it as Bungie had to fulfill a contractual obligation to produce 5 Halo games. And out of that was born my favorite game of all time.

[@christopherorrante289]

Too bad there was never multiplayer for this game
