Halo 3: ODST Getting Preorder Bonus
Despite legions of Halo haters, the sci-fi series continues to perform well with thousands of people shooting, blasting and meleeing each other on Xbox Live every day. The newest installment, Halo 3: ODST will be releasing fairly soon, meaning that the marketing blitz begins. Players who pre-order the game will get a bonus character for use in the multiplayer mode.
If you’ve played through any of the single player campaigns you’ll have no trouble recognizing Seargant Avery Junior Johnson, the tough-as-nails cigar chomping soldier who despite being a bit of a cliche still made the series a little more enjoyable. You can use him in the game’s ‘firefight’ mode, an online co-op setting where players battle against waves of increasingly difficult opponents, similar to Gears of War’s ‘Horde’ mode, which seems to be the new trend in multiplayer gaming, a sort of synthesis between the standard team based deathmatches and single player campaigns, allowing for maximum carnage with none of that pesky story to get in the way. If that wasn’t enough, everyone who purchases the game, preorder or no will get access to the Halo: Reach multiplayer beta.
