My Halo 3

Find yourself desperate for some Halo 3 ODST information? Are your hands shaking in anticipation for it’s release? If you answered yes to both of those quesitons, then Bungie has thrown you a bone with this past Bungie update. In it we get to learn about one of the mission maps, Alpha Site.

Here are a few keypoints of the update, and what you can expect to see in the mission:

– The ominous onyx building ONI calls home in New Mombasa’s Alpha Site sits perched atop a space you should already be familiar with. You got a good look at the climb in our Security Zone layout some time back. But what you didn’t see was what was just beyond the walls of Security Zone’s swank lobby load out. In fact, when you first set boots inside of Alpha Site you begin in that exact same hallway, only now a security gate blocks the way back, leaving only one place to go: dead ahead.

– The Oni Interior game flow actually went through a couple of incredibly different iterations before we settled on the current setting. What we finally decided upon was using the center part of the interior as a cross-roads choke point and allowing the Covenant to enter into the space on one side of the map and have the player spawn on the opposite side. This gives some flexibility to players so they don’t feel completely cornered or trapped.

– (Asked about camping in Alpha Site): Yeah, that originally was a bit of a concern that players would be able to just camp the two known spaces, but we put some surprises in to make sure that won’t be a problem.

You can be as aggressive as you want to be. I’ve found I survive longer if I let the enemies come to me.

So, there you have it. Some vital information about the upcoming Alpha Site in Halo 3: ODST. With not too much longer remaining, I’m as anxious as ever. Here’s hoping Bungie keeps bringing it with the updates.
