Oddball is a multiplayer game-type featured in the Halo series.
Contents |
The objective is to locate the Skull(s) on the map and to maintain possession of it for the longest period of time possible. The default settings allow the game to be a free for all with one Skull on the map, which you need to have possession of for two minutes in order to win. This game can be played as a Rumble Game or a Team Game where the highest score of the lone player (Free-For-All), or on a team's accumulative score, chooses the victor(s). Normally, a player who has the Oddball is the immediate target for the other players, which is what makes Oddball an extremely fast paced and fun game-type.
While a player has possession of the Oddball, they cannot wield their weapons or throw grenades. However, they can still melee opponents with the Skull, which normally inflicts massive damage. The settings for the game can also be altered to make it more interesting. For example, the player with the Oddball can go invisible or can be slowed down. The number of Oddballs on the map can also be changed. Oddball in Halo 3 is the same and looks just like the Skulls of Halo 2.

Davijaan, who flew under the call sign Odd Ball, was a clone commander and pilot, who served as leader of Clone Flight Squad Seven. Odd Ball was commissioned in the Open Circle Fleet during the Clone Wars, and participated in early campaigns such as Teth. He later was given the title of "Red Two" during the Battle of Coruscant, under the command of High Jedi General Obi-Wan Kenobi.

Davijaan was given the name "Odd Ball" by Alpha-17 during training.
He flew a V-19 Torrent starfighter during the Battle of Teth, where he was hit by a vulture droid and fell into panic. But after Obi-Wan Kenobi shot the enemy starfighter down, he regained control of himself and apologized to the General.
During the final months of the Clone Wars, Odd Ball flew the Venator-class Star Destroyer Intervention during the Battle of Boz Pity, and, with help from Anakin Skywalker, successfully broke through the Separatist blockade in orbit.
Odd Ball served as Squad Leader of Squad Seven in an ARC-170 starfighter during the Battle of Coruscant, where he and his pilots launched from Ro-ti-Mundi to assist Jedi Master Obi-Wan Kenobi. Though many of his pilots were killed in deadly dogfights with Vulture droid starfighters and droid tri-fighters, Odd Ball's mission was a success, allowing Kenobi time to reach Invisible Hand in time to rescue Supreme Chancellor Palpatine.
Only days later, he would serve General Kenobi again in the Battle of Utapau as part of the task force sent to the system. However, the end result of the conflict would be the presumed demise of the Jedi with whom he had fought alongside on numerous occasions.
