HALO 3: ODST

ViDoc: Bip. Bap. Bam. Welcome to Firefight

(''"Bungie" in the left corner and on the right, the Superintendent with the following text under it: OFFICIAL TRANSMISSION. RETAIN THIS COPY FOR YOUR RECORDS)''

''(A [[Jiralhanae|Brute]] is shown standing in the [[Security Zone]], close to the [[ONI Alpha Site (location)|ONI Alpha Site]]. The sound of a [[Single Occupant Exoatmospheric Insertion Vehicle|drop pod]] falling is heard. The Brute starts firing into the sky with its {{Pattern|Kewu R'shi'k|plasma rifle}}, but is crushed by the pod. A [[Kig-yar|Jackal]] then moves close to the pod, only to be killed by its hatch exploding open with three [[Unggoy|Grunts]] watching in the background)''

'''Sgt. Johnson (Narrator):''' "Welcome to [[New Mombasa]]. Bip. Bap. Bam!"

''(A hand holding an [[M6C/SOCOM]] emerges from the pod and fires at the Grunts. The three Grunts fall dead to the ground.)''

''(Security Zone shown, with two [[Kez'katu-pattern Phantom|Phantoms]] flying overhead. Covenant start unloading from the dropships including one Wraith.)''

'''Sgt. Johnson (Narrator):''' "This is Firefight. And we need every able body we can get. Even yours."

''(View zooms to Johnson's pod's crash site. Johnson puts a [[cigar]] into his mouth, while [[Kojo Agu|Romeo]] kicks the crushed Brute's corpse. [[Michael Crespo|Mickey]] is standing nearby.''

'''Sgt. Johnson:''' "You boys can thank me later, right now I got selling to do."

''(Shows the ODSTs fighting the Covenant in various environments)''

'''Sgt. Johnson (Narrator): '''"Lucky for you, your squad is the best of the best. [[Orbital Drop Shock Trooper]]s. Problem is, we got [[covenant Empire|alien bastards]] in the house. Each new wave means more bad guys. Five waves make up a round. Three rounds in a set. Sounds easy, huh? Wrong! See these skulls?"

''(Shows all Firefight skulls on screen)''

'''[[Jeff Steitzer|Announcer]]:''' "All skulls on."

''(Shows the player fighting with varies of Skull on.))''

'''Sgt. Johnson (Narrator):''' "When they activate, they turn a casual Covenant make-out session into a full-on test of your manly prowess!"

''(Shows Covenant throwing grenades)''

'''Sgt. Johnson (Narrator):''' "[[Catch]] makes the enemies toss grenades like it's going out of style."

''(Shows the player shooting a Brute, and [[melee]]ing it)''

'''Sgt. Johnson (Narrator):''' "[[Halo 2 skulls#Black Eye|Black Eye]]. Only way you're gettin' health back is to walk up and punch an alien in the chin."

''(Shows the ODSTs fighting the Covenant in various environments)''

'''Sgt. Johnson (Narrator): '''"And the others...Huh, let's just say they call 'em "difficulty multipliers" for a reason."

''(Shows Grunt runs in panic during bonus round)''

'''Announcer:''' "Bonus round."

'''Sgt. Johnson (Narrator):''' "As long as you're feeling [[campaign#Cooperative|cooperative]], there ain't no need to go it alone. Get cozy with up to four players over [[System Link]] or [[Xbox LIVE]] and firefight with your friends through ten battlefields all over New Mombasa."

''(Shows the Squad fighting the Covenant)''

'''Romeo:''' "Cover me, reloading."

'''Dutch:''' "Playball!"

'''Buck:''' "Let me turret, you suck at it."

'''Sgt. Johnson (Narrator): '''"But it's not just about greasin' bad guys. Sometimes it's all about the glory. Put your boot up enough alien backsides, and the [[UNSC Marine Corps|Corps]] will pin rows of [[medals]] on your chest. Might even earn some [[Achievement]]s too. Badass, unlocked."

'''Sgt. Johnson (Narrator): '''"Now, I know what you're thinking. Sergeant Major Johnson, these sound like overwhelming odds. I don't wanna drop into hell without an airtight insurance policy."

'''Sgt. Johnson (Narrator): '''"Well, do I have an offer for you! Pre-order your copy of Halo 3: ODST at participating retailers now, and you'll get all the confidence you need."

'''Sgt. Johnson''' ''(to camera)''''':''' "''Me''!"

'''Sgt. Johnson (Narrator):''' "He he he, that's right. The toughest, cigar-chompinest marine there is- yours to play in Firefight."
