Halo 3: ODST Update

Master Chief

For those who sit anxiously anticipating any kind of Halo 3: ODST news, today is your day. Bungie has graced us with some updates into how the game is coming along, and what they have completed. It sounds like everything is shaping up nicely, if I dare say.

Here are a couple of exceprts from Bungie’s Halo 3: ODST update:

-All of the ODST mission dialog is written and implemented thought the current implementation is often the dulcet tones of Joseph Staten coming through my headset.

-Halo 3: ODST is just a day away from the Representative Experience milestone and preparing for a team-wide playthrough of the whole game next week. (This means the game is playable from start to finish)

It’s looking like things are going great so far. The release date hasn’t been finalized yet, but that’s not surprise. It’s still slated for a Q3 2009 release.

Bungie File Sharing Updated

Master Chief

With the teaser trailers that have been released, and the Title Update, it has been a busy month for Halo fans. To top this all off, Bungie has made a couple of smaller announcements this past week. You shouldn’t over look these, as there’s alot to appreciate.

Bungie has improved their website recently, mostly dealing with the file sharing aspect of their site. The first update is the layout of the file share page. It has been revamped to give players a much more streamlined experience. It’s easier to find valid content, as well as post your own.

One of the cooler extras that Bungie is making available is their new “Bungie Card”. This is a neat way to show off your love for everything Halo. It basically works much like you see Xbox gamertags popping up on forums. On the card will be your name, a background, an avatar, and how long you’ve been a member. You’ll then be able to take the card and show it off in various formats.
