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.

According to IGN, Halo 3: ODST is the best shooter, for the 360, from E3. Beating out Left 4 Dead 2, MW2, Lost planet 2, and Battlefield Bad Company 2.

Didn't realize there was a second page. Turns out it also won best multiplayer for Firefight.

Check it out here

Best Multiplayer better be well earned. I really hope they fix some of the issues...

Namely if one person lags the whole game falls to pieces.

Regular Halo 3 multiplayer. They won that award for Firefight.

I am aware of that. But it still applies as Firefight uses the same engine, same servers.

It wouldn't be Bungie's fault that some of us have horrid internet connections.

Well tell your dumb friends to get a better connection. There is only so much a system can do before the blame needs to be pointed elsewhere.

As it should have. MW2 is more of the same it seems, while ODST is a bit of a departure for the Halo franchise.

  • 06.12.2009 10:27 AM PDT

That's actually pretty surprising considering that it is a sort of a expansion for Halo 3.

  • 06.12.2009 10:50 AM PDT

Keep it classy Flood.

Cool. However, I prefer Gamesradar for my reviews because I have always agreed with what their reviews say. Most recently, their awsome review of [Prototype].

That's pretty good for 2 hours of music without explosions and people yelling. I don't care if you steal it, but God does...

Wrong. A departure, perhaps from the halo FORMULA. It's still well-grounded in the franchise.

Hhahah those game companies must feel like -blam!-. An EXPANSION beats big names like Call of Duty ?! In best shooter and multiplayer?!

Personally, I thought that MW2 looked better than Halo 3:ODST. I love Halo and all, but Modern Warfare 2 looked spectacular.

I looked at the comments. I was astonished at all the CoD fans complaining that CoD was beat by Halo (before you ask, I myself am as well a CoD fan). One reason I think that ODST deserved to win is because MW2 is still much of the same. Snowmobiles and ice climbing may be new, but the shooting formula is the same. ODST, on the other hand, is going open-world and is going back to the Halo: CE formula.

That was my point exactly. MW2 is going to be awesome, but the fact that ODST is a little different, as far as the environment and the way the story is told, for Halo. That's the biggest reason it was impressive. That and Firefight.

Of course whenever both Call of Duty and halo are involved the fanboys of at least one game will be annoyed with something. Its kinda funny how some people take it as a personal insult that their favourite game wasnt chosen as the best. Anyway its no major suprise ODST was chosen as the best in those 2 categories. Firefight mode is something new and just plain aswesome and the campaign is also different to the last 3 halo games which was probably its biggest advantage when the best games were being chosen.

MW2 looks like a decent campaign but the same multiplayer can only win the title so many times before it needs to be abolished and renewed

Four shots, four kills, reload, repeat. This is the work of a sniper.

Awesome.
