Finally...Sort Of

Well it has been a bit since I made a post. Go figure, anyways I do have a bit to mention this time around; ODST, Reach and the first challenge.

I'll start off with some of the stuff that you probably heard/saw from E3. I'm sure a lot of you have already seen everything you can or want to on Halo 3: ODST and I must say, I'm excited for it. I've been back and forth between which looks the most cool in the game, the Firefight mode(like Gears 2 of War 2's Horde mode, only Halo-ized. Halo-ized is now a word.) and the campaign. I see things I like of the Firefight mode and I think I'll play that more, but then I see things about the campaign that I like. I'll go into a bit of what I've seen in the next paragraph. If you haven't seen any or hardly any trailers and don't want anything to be spoiled, skip over the following red text.

Okay, so I am assuming you already saw this video here. If not and you're reading this, then do so now before you read any further. Watched it? Good, now let us continue. If you take note, the player moves towards a data panel or something. It says he can activate it so he does and it brings the Superintendent online. Now the Super leads him through the city and away from certain things. Now I think that is really cool.

Okay, you can start reading again. If you read one of Bungie's weekly updates a couple weeks ago they mention that with ODST's firefight mode they are going to integrate some new features into their site, I really can't wait to see what kind of stuff the implement. Also some of Halo 3's multiplayer medals will be brought into Firefight which is pretty cool. I think right now though I can't wait for them to put all these new toys on their site up, then I'll know ODST's release date is even closer.

Now for some Halo: Reach. If you haven't seen Halo: Reach's trailer yet, you may watch it here. There really isn't much that has been said on it yet, except it comes out in Fall 2010 and it is going to be a first person shooter. As of right I don't take a whole lot of interest in Reach since it is still pretty much speculation. I think it'll be pretty cool getting to play on Reach or one of the Spartans/Marines on Reach, that is if you do play as a Marine or Spartan. Plus if you buy ODST, you get an invitation to a Halo: Reach multiplayer beta.

Now, you have asked for it and here it finally is. StoredGrunt's Campaign Challenge.

Okay so the first level will be Sierra 117.

Okay now here are the skulls you need on: Black Eye, Tilt or Mythic.(Any combonation of those three skulls*Two of them must be turned on*)

Difficulty can be either Heroic or Legendary.

You have 2 weeks from the time of this posting to get this run in. When you have your run complete just leave a comment here with the link to the game stats. Make sure you turn on campaing scoring also!

Now moving onto some of my campaing goals. Well I finally did one of HaloCharts' campaign challenge level, and it wasn't easy. I also plan on doing some of the other levels just for the fun of it.

I also tried doing the level Floodgate on Mythic difficulty(Legendary with all 13 skulls on). I got near the end of the level and got caught on something and a ranged form(one that shoots spikes) killed me. And he was right in front of me also!!! I was so ticked that I got so close to finishing my first Mythic level only to have to restart. Ah well, maybe next time.

Also I am working on my way towards 4th in the state of Illinois for most enemies killed in campaign. Last I checked I was only 4,377 away from securing this spot. I also am currently helping my driver work on his way towards 6th or 5th in the state as well. He is so close to gaining 6th, only missing it by a few hundred kills.

On a closing note, do you like things like this?

Well if you do, just drop a comment here with a link to the screenshot you want edited and some specs as to what you want on it and I will let my buddy Sgt Riffle know what you would like edited and all that. He gave me some other stuff to post like an email address, but I don't really want to post that just yet(or you can make a comment with your own address Riffle!) and some other things, but he randomly signed out of chat and I lost the stuff. So for now, post a link to the screenshot and what you would like to see on it and I will message him with the stuff and he'll get on it. He says it doesn't take him a while to do, but I guess it depends on how busy you are.

So there you have it, a bunch of stuff in a short time...sort of.
