Halo ODST Features An Open World, “Reach” Could Use Natal Tech

Upcoming Bungie shooter Halo ODST won’t be a straight-forward linear shooter, rather blending elements of traditional shooters with the open world exploration of Grand Theft Auto, Bungie told he Seattle Times in a recent interview.

“We’re doing a lot of pretty huc99สล็อตฟรี neat things in terms of mixing it up, introducing some non-linearity, some free exploration,” Staten told the Times. “This is also a mystery story so there’s a lot more clue-finding and mystery-solving than you would normally find in a game of this kind – nothing that strays too far from the fun ‘Halo’ experience, but we definitely decided to take a little bit of risk and have some fun with this one.”

ODST allows players to explore the world trying to piece together clues to unravel what happened to the other members of the ODST team.
