Spartans VS ODST; Need a new halo triology also new ODST-Games?

Games Other Halo

We all know the Elite Squads: ODST and the Spartans (especially II).

What mean them for you? What should they mean for you? And: with which group you identify yourself better?

I ask this because of a small discussion I had with some other guys. We come to the conclusion, that it is realy fun to play Spartans and especially MC; and this is one of the most important things for playing/buying Halo; - but most of us identify ourselves with ODST. The reason was: they are not like inmortal tanks, they “can die”; and that creates the feeling of danger in each battle.

Is it like the question: Are you a hero or a soldier?
[May be this is one of the reasons Halo Reach was not liked by some fans… playing a spartan should be playing a hero… like in an action movie… not a warmovie…]

Halo 4 is great. And a new triology… better in my dreams… especially if I look at some comments (for example: on youtube): “There will never be a Halo 4…” - Rofl! I love it.

But:
I think we need a new ODST Spinoff after Halo 4. Not only because we have more than enaugh ideas together…
→ we need the dangerous feeling again (nothing is like playing ODST with the blackeye skull VS upgraded enemys).

ODST VS Spartans is not a real “VS”. I think we need both; cuz both concepts complement each other very well.
I also hope Halo 4 won’t be so “dark/hopeless” than reach was. Nothing against Reach, I like it… but in all honest: 1st time I played it I thought: Ah… to much CoD, to much Wargame.

ODST-1 had a happy end. It was dark, but it was a “Mission Successful”. I realy thought at the end (Cutscene where the covernant ship appeared): now the alien dies… at least it. But no; all escaped in the phantom.
That was one of the best moments in Halo for me.

I only say: Make an ODST-2; but don’t hurry with it like in making ODST-1.

What you think? After Halo 4, should there be an ODST-2?
and: How you see Spartans and ODST?
Do we need ODST? ( I think ‘yes’, but let me hear your thoughts )

ODST’s story was told, no more needs to be added.
A Halo Wars 2 however would be a great addition.

Around 175 years after the age of enlightenment and some people still don’t reason their opinion. :stuck_out_tongue:

(comment added later:) Oh, and noone said, we should use same characters for ODST-2. So there are a lot of more that can be told.

> A Halo Wars 2 however would be a great addition.

Yeah iam up for an Halo Wars 2, too. But I don’t have any ideas for it, neiter I have any forebodings how to make a real time strategy game good.
So I only can say to Halo Wars 2. Make it, and make it good.

ODST followed a group of ODST’s, none of them died.

Reach followed a group of Spartans, all but one of them died.

Your argument is invalid.

someone mentioned that halo wars 2 should take place during the forerunner-flood war. in the new trilogy I’m against the flood appearing in the story, so perhaps halo wars 2 could tell us more about the epic struggle that caused the halo array to be constructed in the first place. maybe even provide a bit of back story for the new trilogy?

It would be cool to play as an ODST and have Spartan Allies that don’t suck.

I’d love to see a Halo Wars 2, but I’d also would love another ODST game especially with Buck’s squad.
