hey guys Elfi here from TechnoBuffalo and today we're taking a first look at Halo 3 ODST this unboxing will serve as an intro to my actual review which will follow after I finished the campaign and explore the new multiplayer content so wait for that later this week as you probably noticed most gaming sites have already come out with their OD SC reviews and the game is getting some pretty solid scores especially the larger gaming sites seem to be rewarding ODST high scores that leads me to question that our review is giving ODST a good score to avoid angering the halo fans that swarm in the multiple millions I'll definitely try to answer this question in my upcoming review halo ODST was initially planned as a small downloadable expansion but I'm guessing the guys at Bungie reckon that halo 3 has sold so much that people are definitely willing to pay a full retail price to get a little more of the Halo 3 magic they were probably right people will pay a full retail price but is it justified can it expand you to really be worth the price of a full game this is also an aspect that I will explore in my full review but in any case halo 3 ODST ended up as a standalone game and as you can see the box promises a new hero new campaign and new multiplayer there's also a sticker of Halo Reach multiplayer beta Halo Reach is Bungie Studios final installment to the franchise those who buy halo 3 ODST will get access to the multiplayer beta it's definitely an extra incentive for some but it could also be a device to justify the high price tag I also have to mention that I'm not too big a fan of widespread multiplayer beta because when people who haven't had access to the beta buy the actual retail game on launch day for example and start playing multiplayer for the first time they will be getting their asses handed to them by people who have been playing the game for weeks on the multiplayer beta I would go so far as to call this an unfair advantage so inside the box we have an Xbox Live Gold membership trial for 48 hours we also have a UNSC field operations guide which is obviously the operation manual for ODST and we also find an ad for Halo Legends animated series and for halo reach the halo ODST box contains two discs one for the campaign and the second disc is dedicated to the multiplayer experience but less fire if the campaign disk can see what halo 3 ODST is all about whoops sorry about that wrong console let's try that again Marty O'Donnell's musical score that you're hearing in the background has always been one of my favorite things about the series it has definitely set the tone for the world itself and the action so I'm quite excited to hear what the composer created this time around for ODST but that's about it for this unboxing video I better get playing if I intent to make a thorough review on the game so catch you later I'll be signing out you
