72. You meet Rodney Mullins and he agrees to give you the games only BR if you can complete a 300 meter dark slide.

It is really funny how angry some people are at me for having a joke. It's in such contrast to the people who think it's funny. I can see us all lined up on opposite ends of a large field armed to the teeth with medieval weapons, ready to settle the debate over this thread the old fashioned way.

Lighten up guys. ha ha

By the way, some of your additions to the list made me nearly choke on my own laughter, oh mercy!

Mountain Dew sues Mountain Due who is promoting Bungie's game who in turn has to plaster Mountain Dew advertisements on everything. Mountain Dew Decals on Warthogs.

"I'm a 40 in Team Spelling, but I have the most worstest time leveling up in Team Superlatives."

#47 - Everytime time Veronica Dare is on the screen, some variation on this theme is played.

Made me LOL at the Mountain dew thing.

Dr Avinga: HA HA HA!!! Awesome song!

19. The entire game lasts for 32 minutes and is just one big quick time event.

40. Ashley Simpson takes over Marty O'Donnell's job as the composer for the sound track for ODST.

104. If you stand still for long enough, that annoying floating hand from the Zelda series picks you up and places you back at the entrance to New Mombasa. Bungie is sued for copyright infringement.

61. The not so thrilling showstopper musical finale in which you must guitar battle the Profit of Truth with an actual Guitar Hero controller to the song Life is a Cabaret.

About me: I am a vicious wolf of a man.

But really am sweet at heart. =)

. There is no Master Chief and all the 9 year olds (who make up 90% of the gaming community) don't buy it.

the rookie is voiced by Carol Channing

I got his sarcasm...one person has to implement sarcasm and then you get a pile of terrorist chipmunks crashing your party, not fun at all..

5. The part where you challenge the Brutes to an illegal street race in order to free your marine buddy.



How is that bad?

So don't buy it. Simple as that.

You didn't even read the thread, did you? You just wanted to sound smart so made a post that you thought would be the popular opinion.

I am the hand of fate!

Whoever says this fails needs to lean back and laugh. I would buy every Bungie game in the future if they all had sung cutscenes. Halo: the musical.

777. You all relize that you are bored so you commit suicide and a grunt comes and pees in your mouth.

Mmm, tastes like Mexican Lasagna!

That's where I lol'd. So much cheesiness. XD

if you collect 50 rings then press jump you turn into super ODST with gold armor.

My Best Bungie moment: finally beating all the Halo games on solo legendary.
My Worst Bungie moment: not seeing giant stuffie grunts in the Bungie store.

77. In the last cutscene all the ODSTs take off their helmets and they are all the Prophet of Truth.

Of course this list is fictitious and feel free to add your own.

1. Bungie sells in-game real time advertising which is bought out fot eh first three months of the games launch by High School Musical and the Jonas Brothers

2. Your marine has a bumbling side-kick that knocks over trash cans, alerting every nearby enemy and says 'aye aye aye, mumma mia!'

3. Your marine cries 'YIPPIEEEEE' just like Anakin Skywalker from Star Wars Episode 1 every time he picks up a grenade which eventually makes you avoid picking them up.

4. Aside from the SMG, all other weapons can be unlocked via the xbox marketplace for 80MS points each.

5. The part where you challenge the Brutes to an illegal street race in order to free your marine buddy.

6. The part when the Brute chieftain loses the above mentioned race and takes off his helmet and starts jumping on it and cursing his Grunt pit-crew.

7. The horrible fishing mini-game you need to complete to unlock the final level.

8. To bring in sponsorship revenue, you marine gets health back by drinking Mountain Due and occasionally says things like 'Boy, the Covenant don't know what they are missing out on with Mountain Due's smooth refreshing taste'.

9. About 90% of the cut-scenes are sung.

10. The fact that you earn points for doing stunts on your Mongoose and that you can earn score multipliers by linking tricks together.

Who said anything about any of that?

You are alone in New Mombasa (except Co-op). The guns aren't on marketplace, Bungie isn't that dumb. There isn't going to be racing, we've never had 'em in Halo, why start now? What are you going to fish? Health comes back from packs that come from kiosks throughout New Mombasa. There isn't any major singing, Bungie isn't that stupid. Nobody said anything about Mongoose stunts either (unless you mean Rocket Race).

Stop getting your news from the Onion, dumbass.


Poor thing.
Is it that time of the month again?

Halo ODST is actually a point and click adventure, meaning you move a cursor around the screen and click places to move and examine objects! All combat is handled automatically


Runescape, oh I'm sorry, I mean -blam!-scape reference?

Reason 0: At the end of the final level (which you unlock by beating 100 levels of Firefight) you have to fight a combined Gravemind, Prophet of Regret, Spartan creature with 5000% dmg resistance, 8x overshields and has an auto head lock-on 7 barrel sniper rifle.

Y'know, I actually wouldn't mind that. It's about time there was some class added to video games. As long as it's good, I could bear a song-and-dance part in a videogame.
