  • AH: ODST Audio File Map!

    You asked for it, and now you’ve got it.

    I spent most of yesterday collecting all of the Audio Files in ODST and then putting together a special map for you kind folks. It’s still a work in progress, but everything you need to find all of the audio files in the game is available right here:

  • AH: Laser Blaster Achievement Guide

    Gav has done a few ODST guides, which from here on out he will be posting. Check out his first, which is a handy guide to getting the Laser Blaster Achievement. Also, read Jack’s news post below. It will change your life.


  • AH: Dome Inspector Achievement Guide

    Wow, today is ODST video central. This video gives you something to work towards on the NMPD HQ campaign level. A simple 5 points to add to your very important bank of 1000. Go inspect some domes.

    Burnie provided some additional help for those who are struggling to follow along.

    Oh and make sure you check out Jack’s post (2 posts down) if you haven’t already.


  • AH: I Like Fire Achievement Guide

    Remember this next video when you get to Data Hive in ODST. The I Like Fire achievement requires you to kill 10 enemies with the flamethrower. “WHAT FLAMETHROWER!?” I hear you ask. This video shows you where to get it and as an added bonus, what to do with it. Go bring the heat.

    Once again Burnie put on his helpful hat and joined in on the voice-over.


  • AH: Pink and Deadly Achievement Guide

    This next ODST video is brought to you by Geoff. He shows us that you don’t have to use needles exclusively for shooting up some occasional smack, you can also use them for gamerscore. Here’s how.


  • RT: RvB PSA Contest!

    I know everyone is playing ODST non-stop right now, but if we could have your attention for just a moment we think you’ll like this news. We just launched a very cool contest with our friends at GameStop where you can submit your very own Red vs. Blue PSA idea, and the winning entry will actually be produced and released by us! It’s a win-win really. First, you submit a great idea and receive adoration and glory, then we get to do only half the work we normally do, and finally everyone gets to watch a cool video! I guess that’s a win-win-win, really. Anyway, it’s a lot of win. So if there’s some ridiculous line you’ve always wanted to hear Caboose say, or something insane you’ve always wanted to hear Sarge yell, now’s your chance. Just visit gamestop.com/halo to enter. And if you want some advice on what ideas not to write, better watch this video.

  • When Good Companies Go Bad

    Whee doggies. Something to watch for, in the future… I pre-ordered two copies of ODST from Amazon back in July. This morning, an unlock code for Sgt. Johnson appeared in my inbox. When I wrote to Amazon to find out where my second code was, I was told that their policy was 1 code per household, regardless of the number of copies purchased. (The promotion is no longer active, so anything that WAS on the page about restrictions has been removed, leaving no way to confirm this. Amazon Customer Service admitted as much on the telephone – but since the original response was generated by Marketing, and since Marketing was involved in the original promotion, they’re sticking to their guns.) Nobody needs to worry about ME – Frank O’Connor sacrificed his personal code so that my sons could play as Sgt. Johnson – but for all the other loyal Halo fans and Amazon shoppers who bought more than one copy… we don’t think this is right! Let Amazon know that you’re not alone – maybe they’ll be willing to reconsider.(Louis Wu 23:29:27 UTC)
