Halo 3: ODST Achievements and Unlockables for Xbox 360

A prelude to Halo 3, the ODST expansion pack neither features Master Chief nor his advance armor. But, it does feature VISR, or Visual Intelligence System Reconnaissance, which performs a number of functions, including highlighting nearby objects of importance and hostile units.

Besides the unique HUD, ODST features an excellent plot. The new open-ended Mombasa city map has plenty of objects and weapons to access. The exclusive weapons also include ones seen in the first Halo video game.

ODST also features an immersive cooperative gameplay mode called Firefight. The game can be played co-operatively with three more players on Xbox Live. The Firefight mode also contains ODST skulls to add some intensity and variation in gameplay. Moreover, players can also unlock Firefight missions and characters by completing certain missions in single player campaigns. Some Halo 3 ODST achievements can be unlocked by finishing certain Firefight missions.

Find Them All

There are plenty of unlockables and achievements for this expansion pack. Players can also unlock the exclusive Recon Armor by unbolting certain achievements.
