: Also, assuming there's even theater support, will we be able to rewind
: campaign footage?
: Halo 3's theater might answer this question, or at least give decent clues

: And will ODST be integrated into the existing party/menu system, or will it
: be a separate menu? It would be awful suspicious for there to be hooks
: built into the game if the game wasn't planned to be paid DLC from the
: start...

: Which reminds me, since ODST used Halo 3 assets, will this be true of the
: Remaster as well? It might cut down significantly on file size, but if
: that's not the case, could ODST be released as standalone DLC (similar to
: Infamous: First Light)?

: I'd definitely buy a remastered standalone ODST, even if I only got to play
: it occasionally on a borrowed Xbone...

Just a few thoughts/questions from reading the entire thread:

I'm still not entirely convinced that ODST was planned from the start. I would think adding in another game ala 1, 2, 3, or 4 would just be replicating the already used assets for another selection in the menu.

In the same vein, I'm not quite sure why ODST firefight couldn't be added to the multiplayer menu. Currently we have competitive, forge and spartan ops all on the same page, why couldn't firefight be added to that menu?

As far as theater, it was an option I never used so I'm not sure what you're wanting exactly. Are you wanting to save the files as mpg4's or something able to be viewed without streaming from Xbox Upload Studio? I mean, you can still view replays in the theater correct, you just can't save them anywhere without "capturing" them through Xbox DVR?
