Halo 3: ODST dated for SA

Halo 3: ODST BoxshotA press release from Microsoft just landed in my inbox confirming that Halo 3: ODST will be available in South Africa on the 22nd of September. The game will retail at R599.99 and will be available for pre-order in both the standard package and a Halo 3: ODST Collector’s Pack which includes a copy of the game and an exclusive laser etched Wireless Controller.

Developed exclusively for the Xbox 360 by Bungie, Halo 3: ODST tells the story of the events prior to Halo 3 through the eyes of an ODST (Orbital Drop Shock Trooper). Players will search for clues to identify the whereabouts of their missing squad and discover why the Covenant invaded New Mombasa.

In addition to a new campaign, Halo 3: ODST includes Firefight, a new co-operative multiplayer mode that sees players stepping into the boots of the ODST squad and fighting wave after wave of a Covenant onslaught. The mode is made more challenging by Halo 3’s ‘skulls’ which activate as time goes by to alter gameplay and increase the challenge.

Halo 3: ODST also includes a second disc with 24 maps: three new Halo 3 multiplayer maps, all original Halo 3 maps as well as Legendary, Heroic and Mythic Map packs. By purchasing Halo 3: ODST you will also get access to the Halo: Reach multiplayer beta in the future. Halo: Reach is the prequel to the Halo trilogy and is scheduled to be released in fall 2010.
