Is it still worth playing?
Marines known as Orbital Drop Shock Troopers explore the ruined city of New Mombasa to find their missing teammates during the Covenant invasion, in this 2009 Bungie shooter for the Xbox 360. It takes place during and after Halo 2 and before Halo 3, and it has no Master Chief, since the developers focused on the ODSTs. The campaign is a detective story with film noir designs and settings, with a quieter, jazz influenced score by Martin O'Donnell. In Firefight, up to four players cooperate against increasingly difficult waves of enemies and try to survive as long as possible. The game also contains the whole of Halo 3's multiplayer on a separate disc. The open city sections let you choose your routes, and there is no shield but stamina instead. The multiplayer disc has 24 maps and Forge and Theater modes. The open city still lets you choose the way to each clue.
