This time its true, I haven´t updated because I was too busy escaping New Mombasa :D. Halo ODST is just great. A new feeling, subtly gameplay changes that make the whole Halo experience totally different. You are now an ODST, the best of the best between human soldiers... but only human, and you notice it. Popping out of cover to kill three brutes in a single row? Ha! Good luck buddy, you ain´t got no MJOLNIR Powered Armor nor shields.....
The campaign has also a great story, I never saw that ending coming, thats sure. And the new non-linear scenarios add to that new halo experience too. You can roam freely around the devastated city, that is, unless the Covenant decides to drop a few patrols between you and your freely-chosen destiny
Enough about ODST, if you want a good review, just look for it, I´m too excited about it to make a decent semi-impartial one :P

I´m enjoying a sweet 48 hours of Xbox Live online gaming. I tried to have some Firefight with a local friend via Xbox Live but severe LAG dissuaded us of trying again...So I jumped to good ol´Halo 3 Matchmaking and have been playing Big Team Battle since....
News coming, for sure, when the Halo ODST chaos dissipates from my mind

This SUCKS!
No, I haven´t stepped into Halo: ODST nonstop for three days as expected. Why? Because I haven´t been able to buy it yet! My local store (Game) were I have preordered it, only had 8 copies of the game, which all went to the first 8 #uck*rs who preordered it. So I´ll have to wait, and seeing how I live in the Third World.... well, I might as well have to wait a few days more...
That´s the reason I haven't updated, and thats the reason why I am so upset

One day to Drop!!
Yes! We´re green, we´re ready and we´re mean! With just one day to the release of Halo3: ODST the only thing I can do is try to fill my time with lots of things not halo-related. But I had to update the blog.
During the last few day s I have tried to see or hear as little regarding ODST as possible. As little? Yeah, when you´re going to drop you might as well drop with good intel. But once the drop is near, the only thing you´ll see and hear are gonna be rumors and spoilers, and not intel. And those, soldiers, are not good things to have you head full of before a combat drop

Halo Waypoint
Just read about it, so todays is big news then. What´s that "Halo Waypoint" thing you say?
Take a look, take a look and just learn about it
But I won´t just put a link and tell you to read it, that would be utterly dissapointing, wouldn´t it?
From what I´ve heard Halo Waypoint will be a place in Live! designed only for Halo fans, with all the possible content and interactive events. And also a place of meeting to all Halo-loving people. They say its gonna have something like a "career" taking into account your Halo games achievements and other "non halo game related" things. I don´t know what that is, nobody nows right now.
Bad things? Money, of course. If you´re not Gold, forget it. Right now they´re just saying that "maybe it will be only for Gold members" but... you know, its MS after all. So don´t expect much for Silver
The release date is November 5, thats what the twitter says anyway....
Not much more, keep a look for Halo Waypoint and Halo: ODST, as always.

Updating
What´s up?? Well, not much really. Go over to Bungie and check the new ViDoc. The future rulers of the world are shewing a few more light in the upcoming ODST, and getting me more and more desperate for getting the game :P
This sunday I played with a friend on Live after a few (Way too many) months and felt soooo clumsy. Still we managed to win and kill some of the bad guys. Of course it was a sad thing I was playing like [mifriend´sgamertag]1 and not like Verdadero Khan but we made a promise. If we can win witouth training or a coordinated team, we have to see what we can make with those. So we´ll try to form a little clan, more likely a squad, once get Gold back along with other two friends. Sounds nice, but also far.....

Left Behind
Pull back and retreat, leaving fallen and wounded comrades behind its something no soldier should be asked for

The OD(ST)yssey II
Back from the desperate-searching-for-money mission! It was a success, I managed to get 25 euros, so that makes it only 15 euros left before I can say "Okay, here´s all the money I need to get Halo3 ODST" Now, I don´t know how I am going to get those 15, but I guess it´ll be easier than getting 25 :P
Not much in the way of news today, haven´t checked Bungie.net or anything Halo-related. But I solved an old connection problem with my 360, thats a success. Then spent hours playing Bioshock.
I had to admit something, and then make a promise. I haven´t completed Halo 3 campaign on Legendary. That wasn´t a big concern, not after having the floor wiped with my shinny spartan ass about then thousands of times in Tsavo Higway level (near the marine´s outpost that gets attacked by a Wraith) I´m a quickly frustrating-perilously enraging guy, so when that kind of things happen I just sit back, try to relax, and shut the game before I start going berserk. But not this time, I have to do it. The reason? I was comparing games with some friends and the amount of them that have the "Game Completed in Legendary" achievement is unacceptable, mostly because every single one of them has then his own ass beaten by myself while playing online. WHY? WHY, Oh, ironic Haloverse deities! Why people that is easily beaten by me can beat the Legendary Campaign??
You will be mine, Legendary, you will be mine...
After pondering the question for a while I reached the only acceptable conclusion, they have tried, died, tried harder, died harder and finally succeeded. So I will relax, sit back and try again and again until the little "Game Completed in Legendary" thingy pops in front of my eyes flooded with tears. It´ll help to pass the remaining days to Halo ODST.
Oh, BTW... that´s a promise

Top 10 Halo 3
Just a machinima I wanted to share with you guys. Top 10 is an episodic series full of amazing, odd and hilarious Halo 3 moments. This one its just a recompilation of the better moments of season 6, but be sure to check out all the others. Trust me, you won´t regret it
The O(DST)dyssey
Well, so Halo3: ODST is dropping in only eight days. Eight! And I need to get my hands on about 40 euros before that date. How the hell am I going to do so? Desperate measures my friends, desperate measures...
I´m packing the Xbox 360´s Battlefield 2, Fuzion Frenzy 2 and Moto GP 2006 along with olde Xbox´s Medal of Honor Rising Sun in hopes of getting at least half the money. Tomorrow we´ll see how much I can get for those tittles. Goodbye dear lil´friends, your sacrifice is more than worthy
In these final stages of the ODST-obsesive-compulsive cycle in my mind I can´t help but load tons of gameplay videos around the net and closing them all before I lay eyes onto them. Why? I don´t want any spoilers, nothing telling me how my ODST experience will be before the game is on my trembling hands. But man, I´m dying with curiosity.....

Give ´em hell
Down to the last single men, UNSCDF Marines held their positions while being overrun, with the human homeworld burning, there was no place to fall back
A marine gunner pins down invading covenant jackals and grunts with the .50 machinegun. The place its estimated to be one of the Traxus dockside factories in Voi
