*Halo 3: ODST, X360

Summary

New Mombasa is in ruins, yet the fight is far from over. Halo 3: ODST drops players onto the streets of the besieged city in this first-person shooter. Assume the role of “The Rookie”, an Orbital Drop Shock Trooper, and discover the truth behind the Covenant invasion. Engage in intense online multiplayer battles with the complete collection of Halo 3 multiplayer maps – including three all-new battlefields – and join your teammates in Firefight, a new cooperative mode that pits you against waves of Covenant invaders.

Storyline

Taking place in the Kenyan port city of New Mombasa, ODST follows a squad of elite Marine Orbital Drop Shock Troopers during the Covenant invasion of Earth on October 20, 2552. Knocked off course due to the Mombasa Slipspace Incident, these five ODSTs, accompanied by an ONI officer, fight through the waste-filled, destroyed streets in order to link up with each other, evade the Covenant, and execute a top secret mission. The game occurs directly after the events of the Halo 2 level Metropolis, when the Prophet of Regret performs a slipspace jump in New Mombasa.
