Subject: Idiot's guide to Halo 3: ODST Discs.

Proud member of the Sangheili Resistance. FIGHT BACK AGAINST THE SPARTAN HATE MY BROTHERS!

Is it just me or is it kinda weird to have firefight on one disc, and the standard multiplayer on another? Switching between that will be cumbersome.

Unless I missed something.

It will be the same as if you were switching from ODST to Halo 3's disc anyway. Not much loss there.

Do you know how many people on here are still confused about the discs? A lot of them are. I made this so the people who have the forums as a bookmark/favorite, and don't see the front page/read the updates, can know what's happening.


The extreme apathy of others is no excuse for the redundancy that you have created with this thread.

Neither is the redundancy of your responses.

Honestly if you don't like me, you don't have to post in the topic I created. You're not legally owned in a contract to be stuck in my topic forever until I've decided you can go.

Subject: Since people seem to be confused on the 2 discs of ODST....

Check Out my FileShare.
I was once on Bungie Faves. (Feb.7-15)
I'd like to know why I can't see the signatures of others of myself on the forum. I have made favs once, 7777 campaign kills, and I helped bring modders down when they were at their strongest

I still don't get it. The second disc is for multiplayer and to get the rest of the mythic map pack, right? So that means Halo 3 multiplayer is dead? Or will your matchmaking stats, fileshare, forged maps, screenshots and all that stuff upload to that disc?
That's what confuses me.


Holy -blam!-!

Take the Halo 3 disc you have sitting in your house.
Copy the entire thing.
Paste it as a new disc.
Take out the Halo 3 Campaign
Add in Heroic Maps, Legendary Maps, Cold Storage, and Mythic Map Packs
Now Add in Heretic, Longshore, and Citadel

That is what is on the second disc.

Oh and on the Extras menu, Bungie has stated in an IGN interview, that there will be videos you can download and stuff from the Extras Menu as well as the Beta (btw The beta IS NOT coming with ODST). You will be able to access it at a later, unconfirmed time....which will be in the future...

I tried to make it as specific as I possibly could.

Eh, the ego always gets involved in these matters...

I do not dislike you, I dislike the way that you are choosing to act. Bungie is perfeclty capable of informing the ignorant masses with sticked encyclopedic threads, convenient FAQ pages, enlightening podcasts, and prominantly posted articles without you taking it upon yourself to add to the already cluttered mess of the forums by pre-emptively answering questions that you assumed were asked.

yeah but if you download the odst campaign disk onto your hard drive, is the license read from halo 3? like, can i download odst, pop in the halo 3 disk and play it, considering it's an expansion?


No, and you are misinterpreting the term "expansion."

In terms of other games, ODST is like "Half Life 2: Episode Two" rather than, say, "Star Craft: Brood War." While technically based on the original game, this "expansion" has a life of its own.

  • 06.07.2009 9:46 PM PDT

Check out the group, Planet Reach and talk about Bungie's next game without the annoyance of the public forum. Oh and it's nice there too.

You thought you had lag, it took Jesus 3 days to re-spawn.

Let me add that Joe Staten said you could take pictures and save films of Firefight (also take pics of campaign, i suppose) so there is also a theater mode on the first disc. Not to mention it was on the menu of the build they had at E3.

Other than that, good try at explaining this simple concept.

They are capable, yes, but until I see a topic covering what I've posted then I have every right to inform people of it unless otherwise stated by a moderator or employee of Bungie.
I'm sorry if this isn't the response you were looking for but it's my response. And it fits me perfectly.

Well did you even look? Apparently not.

Remember, you don't have the right to repost threads even if you personally think that people would benefit form the information contained within.

If it really would, Bungie would pin it, but in the event that they don't, or don't in a way that you are personally satisfied with, you need to respect that decision and not make the already cluttered forums even more so.

If your honestly hoping I'll kill myself over this, you'll be sadly mistaken.

Beware the smiley face! =D

The only thing I dont understand is whether there will be a code in the box for Mythic maps or do you download them in a different method?

Well some minor blood loss was as much as I would hope for, but please keep in mind your survival is by no means distressing to me.

Just use the search bar next time you feel like sharing some easily accessible information to make sure that a dozen other people and a major gaming publisher haven't arleady beaten you to the punch.

The mythic maps, as well as every other multiplayer map, are included on the second disc.

To be honest, if this thread stops even 2 people from posting another "I dont understand the 2 disc" thread, then it has made up for the fact that it may be a repeat thread or that it reiterates what Bungie has already said.

Normally I would agree with you, but when a thread is helpful in a forum full of stupid topics, I can look past that. I know I answered many threads that asked about easily accessible information. Those are posted because of laziness, at least this was posted in hopes of helping. I think there is a difference.

....Sweet Jesus..I give up. This forum is hopeless.

THE MAPS ARE ON THE SECOND DISC, THERE IS NOT A CODE TO DOWNLOAD THEM, THEY ARE ALREADY ON THE SECOND DISC!

The people who still don't understand the two disc concept after this are beyond reach. I might just take the time to draw them a picture or something.

Well, that was a good Idea so I just did:

I hope you don't mind me adding that to the original post, giving you credit of course.
EDIT: You might want to reupload that and keep with the theme of "The Idiot's guide" and not "The R-Tards guide"...That might get us both banned..

Are they? If I'm a confused forum goer wouldn't it be simpler to click a button or two and visit a stickied thread with all that I could hope to know about the game? Why go through the trouble of typing out a vaugely coherant question and wait for others to respond to it if a few quick mouse clicks would get me the same information?

The fact of the matter is that even the stupidest, or laziest, of questions are legitimate ones, deserving of some measure of respect, because if the poser believed that they could answer it on their own they would have gladly done so and spared themselves the trouble that a forum post, asking for help, may bring.

Pass judgement not on the act, but of the intent behind it.

Then maybe you can change it offline and reupload it then?
