Halo Again! surprised?

As anyone who browses the Internet knows there are a lot of stupid assholes that are obsessed with Halo 3 (that's a different point) there has been a lot of rumors about Bungie working on another Halo game (not being Halo Wars). Well it was just announced that its not quite a game, its an expansion. To be more specific it is a prologue to Halo 3. However you do not play as Master Chief, you play as an ODST (Orbital Drop Shock Trooper). It's pretty exciting to experience the Halo Universe without Master Chief, but as the UNSC's special ops troopers (that's right, a pretty normal person). However I know there is going to be a lot of protest about this, every one will want to be the Chief.

There's a trailer for the game (below) as well. Its not too detailed, it just shows off the graphics, and the character you will be playing as. Also that it's set to come out "Fall 2009". Personally I think the ODST you will be playing as looks much cooler then Master Chief.

Along with the game it will add more multiplayer maps to Halo 3.



More in Halo News: Halo Wars (the RTS). There was a third team announced: The Flood. However this team will not be playable. The flood is just a single-player enemy only. Which still means there are only 2 races to play multiplayer as.
