ODST for life

Relax man, Bungie has stated multiple times that they have a lot of things that they haven't talked about yet. I'm sure the game will be well worth the money.

Dude I love Gear hoard, this is that only better because its halo.

The campaign doesn't take as long to finish as Halo 3's campaign, but it takes a different angle than any Halo campaign has before. I, personally, am very excited for ODST.

Noobs can't handle AR/Pistol Spawns.

Its something new for the Halo series. Like I saw, a detective based, stealthy, semily free-roam game based in New Mombasa before the city exploded into pieces. It will be fun to see what happens to the city while John is away. You can't tell me this isnt what people were asking for? Something new and fun? To me it fits perfectly. I can't forget about Firefight and Mythic II, both awesome. $25 for new campaign $25 for new gamemode and $10 for new maps. It seems like a good deal to me.

POSTING A COMMENT? READ THIS

I am not interested in joining anyones group so dont bother asking=)

That scale is to weird. 3 Hours is to little, and 6 hours is close enough. 7 and I will be happy, and it can give random people something to talk about like, Why was it 7 hours long.

I guess I should be happy then.

I get bored of fighting against multiple clones of me quickly. 5 matches of matchmaking showed everything H3 MP had to me. It wasn't even much smarter than playing Battlefront against bots.


Are you kidding me?

If you think you've seen it all in five games, you sure are missing out on some killer experiences.

Anyway, to the OP:

Even if you see absolutely no value in playing against AI at all (and after playing Firefight, I'm pretty sure you will), you still have three new multiplayer maps, a load of new achievements, and the key to the Reach beta (which won't be attached to another game, I promise you) - so what are you upset about?

Also, the campaign was annouced to be 3-5 hours long aaggeess ago; seeing as they're always expanding and improving upon the game, I reckon it could easily last 6.

Okay OP. Let me break it down for you in small enough chunks a toddler could understand. Hopefully you can understand too.
-ODST will have 3 new maps (I don't know where you got two from)
-ODST will have a full campaign
-four person co-op will be included in said campaign
-Firefight mode
-all previous Halo 3 DLC
-full compatibility with Halo 3 multiplayer

Does this sound like "you vs. computer"?

  • 06.05.2009 2:01 AM PDT

u get to get a 3 other friends to play fire fight with co-op and plus u get 3 new maps they are Longshore Heretic aand Citidal not the 3 that came out.

Am I the only person that is upset?


No, but you're in the vast minority. I know for a fact that most of the people on my friends list would fork out $100 for this game. I'm sure most of them would, and intend to, do it happily, too. If you don't want to, it's your choice. Noone's pleading for you to buy it, it's not going to get any major change, and I'm sure MS and Bungie won't miss your business, so, please, for all of us, GTFO.

Don't worry, It's gunna b k.

Posted by: Spartan153
First of all, it's 3 new maps. Second, you must not have a lot of friends to play it with.

maybe he has no other friends? I kid, I kid. Go play something multiplayer only, try the internet for a start, you can play with other non ai enemies even if your friends aren't free. You know, online?

Co-up is what makes halo great. thats what made halo ce great. i have spent enternetyes playing halo ce 2 and 3 coup with my friends and that is much greater than multiplayer.

Aka No_Consequence

keep in mind that this is an open game area. Not Linear like that other Halo's. You can explore a lot more with out hitting boundary's and such.

Here's what you get with ODST, and a small price for it.

- New Campaign (Stunning graphics and animations, new characters, AI etc.)
- Four difficulties to play that Campaign
- Four player Co-Op Campaign
- Open world Campaign (Bungie has said numerous times and has showed us numerous times just how big it is, there are beyond 4 hours of play-time if you explore the entire world)
- New achievements
- New achievements for Halo 3
- Firefight Mode (4 player Co-op, as well)
- Four different difficulties for that
- Skulls
- Whatever else I forgot/Bungie has up their sleeve
- New vehicles
- New weapons
- New features (VISR, Map etc.)
- New controller (LE)
- Halo: Reach Beta
- Every single Halo 3 map ever made
- Theater (Saved films, screenshots, File share etc.)
- Whatever else I forgot/Bungie has up their sleeve

I understand this game is an expansion, but I have no reason to buy the game anymore. What do I get..

2 New Map (already have Mythic)
Everything else in the game is me playing basically a single player game, it's always you vs computers or you and friends vs computers.
Entry to Beta (willing to bet they do this again in a different game, that migh be worth buying) or they will simply sell openings to the event "this is a money making world"

Since the start of Halo, FPSer are simply boring if you only get to play against computers. The games get repetitive very quickly. It's nothing more than playing Zombies on COD:5 over and over again for $60.

Ha... I think this is going to be a big floop, most of the people I know hate the idea of just another campaign and firefight (oh but wait, you can't play against people just A.I)

3 new maps
Whats wrong with single player and co-op? I personally prefer fighting against AI with friends over people vs people.
Im pretty sure this is the only way to get the key.

So Halo: CE was boring? And isn´t the zombie gametype in CoD 5 like the most played gametype in the game?

And you get alot with the money:
Legendary, Mythic and Mythic 2 map packs - 30$
New campaign - 10$
Firefight - 10$
Halo 3 multiplayer - 30$
Halo: Reach Beta key - 5$
Playing as an ODST in an ODST squad in an open world Halo environment - Priceless

Thats how i see it.

Why the hell don't people use meh?

Perhaps you just don't understand the word Co-op? doing campaign with friends and firefight is fun when you work together help each other team work is the key to both victory and fun you get the last 3 mythic maps as well and so what if ODST dosnt have multiplayer? we already have halo 3 why would they need to make multiplayer for a game thats telling another story but still as good as halo 3? Seriously if u can't see that there is alotta reasons for Halo fans to get ODST well then i don't know whats going on with ya.

  • 06.05.2009 3:22 AM PDT

So let me get this straight... ODST is going to be a complete failure because it has no Xbox Live component of its own?

What a stupid thing to say. A game is made on how enjoyable it is, how it can rope people in with good gameplay and story, and how it can keep people coming back for more, regardless of whether it has multiplayer or not. Yes, ODST would be better for having its own multiplayer, but no, it isn't going to be the worst game ever invented just because it doesn't have it outside of Firefight.

And by the way, the Halo franchise was made on its campaign and single player aspects. The multiplayer introduced in Halo 2 made it even more, despite the fact that seemingly less effort was put into the story. But without the cracking single player of the first Halo game, we wouldn't be having this discussion. I have no doubt that Bungie will deliver with ODST.
