The place of action is the city of New Mombasa. The player does not take on the role of the Master Chief, but that of an UNSC-ODST-Marine, who is a newcomer (rookie) in the troop of the ODST (Orbital Drop Shock Troopers). The ODST are known under the name "Helljumper". They wear this thanks to their risky way of being deposited on a planet.
