With less than a month to go before Halo 3: ODST hits retailers, Microsoft is stepping up the marketing campaign for the Xbox 360-exclusive shooter with this live-action spot.

Due September 22, Bungie's standalone prequel includes an all new campaign, every Halo 3 multiplayer map (plus three new ones) and beta access to Halo Reach.

I remember hearing that the people behind District 9 were also the guys who made that awesome Halo 3 live action short about 2 years back. I believe it was called "The Arms Race." Does anyone know if the people behind this trailer were the same guys who made both the original Halo live action short as well as District 9?

Not going to buy the game ($60 for Halo 3 DLC) but these short films are proof that a full-length feature film would work. A shame the Peter Jackson/Neill Blomkamp version is now dead, but now Steven Spielberg is looking into producing Halo. :)

I still don't get why they think I would want to play as an ODST. Sure they are bad ass marines and all, but they are one note characters. While the Master chief may be pretty bland in the games, from the books he comes off as this really unique creation (the other Sparatans as well). It really added a lot along with fact that you're in a huge battle suit with cat like reflexes, and shields which none of your teammates posses.
