Ok, i've looked everywhere but i can't find that they say anything about improved graphics on multiplayer in the upcoming Halo 3 ODST! I would really appreciate and i think many others would to if someone could show a link or some prove that the online experience will have the same graphics as in the firefight mode or the campaign!

He may be impolite, but this guy is pretty much right. There is no ODST competitive online multiplayer.

The only multiplayer included in ODST (besides Firefight) is the Halo 3 multiplayer again.

GeneralMykus is right, the guy with problems, who just can't lay off the caps lock, is telling you the truth

firefight will have ODST level graphics (Halo 3's plus a little bit) and halo 3's multi will be the exact same

Well in that case aren't we paying for a short campaign some DLC and firefight!! That's it screw you Bungie (am going home)!! The All Fronts Collection in Gears of War 2 will come out for 1600 MS points and it will contain all the previous 13 downloadable maps and 7(!) new ones with a new chapter of the campaign!! That's it Bungie am not supporting you in this if the graphical experience ain't improved! Am getting MW2 and Assasins Creed instead!

p.s. Why improve the graphics engine if you won't use it in the multiplayer that's the 2/4 part of the experience in halo!!

Seriously? You're not buying ODST because they didn't upgrade the graphics for a single part of the game? You realize that if they changed the ODST multiplayer, it probably wouldn't be compatible with Halo 3?

Whiny little -blam!-.

EDIT: 2/4 is 1/2 dumbass.

First of all i was going to type 3/4 but that was to much so i put a 2 instead of 3 so that was a simple mistake! So it ended up with 2/4, which is the same thing as 1/2 so who cares, dumbass!

Second of all, am 14 years old and am not paying 60$ for a 5 hours long campaign a horde mode and 3 new maps! I can afford it but i don't think it's worth it if the multiplayer experience isn't improved what i think is the good part with Halo 3! There are games with better campaign then Halo but not in multiplayer experience!

Do you know what the extra 30$ you are paying for? It's Halo 3...again!! This is bull-blam!- this should be a game add-on and everyone knows that, me, you, Bungie and Microsoft!

And why make an engine if not to use it! You can do graphical improvements on the Halo 3 maps it worked on Far Cry 2 why wouldn't it work for Bungie!!

Armor Lock isn't overpowered. You just suck at Reach :)

Reach isn't bad, you're just a BK :)

For my gamertag, look up "Ghoulishtie"

Please stfu.

If you dont like how Bungie does their type of expansions, leave this forum and go play something else to your liking (you seem to be a runescape player. You whine a little too much)

  • 06.15.2009 11:57 AM PDT

Howdy

Halo 3:ODST runs on the same Game Engine as Halo 3. But ODST looks a lot better because Bungie had no Idea that The Halo 3 Game Engine had a higher potential. You'll see what I mean when playing.

First of all i love the Halo concept and this forum owns cause people like you can answer on like these kind of questions and i know it's the same engine on the Halo 3 ODST campaign as in the Halo 3 multiplayer! Bungie realised that they could upgrade the graphics on the engine big time! Am asking if they use the upgraded engine on the multiplayer in Halo 3 ODST! Cause it wouldn't be so hard for them because they still got the drawings and stuff of all the old maps so all they would have to do is to use those old drawings and put the new upgraded engine in them! That would work and everything and it's not that hard...right? Hope they will do that, cause that is what am asking!!

  • 06.15.2009 12:17 PM PDT

Seriously? Can you be this stupid?

Bungie can not, and I say can not alter Halo 3's Multiplayer, Halo 3 is already out, and if I think I know what your talking about, you think the 2nd ODST disk that contains the Halo 3 Multiplayer can be altered to have better Graphics and Gameplay, now if this is what you're suggesting then you are completely out of your mind. You see if Bungie did do this the people playing on the Normal Halo 3 disks after not being updated would not be able to play on Bungie's servers, if they did it would have catastrophic effects, one player using the ODST disk would see Valhalla fine, and the other player on the normal Halo 3 disk would see nothing, not even being able to spawn.

It's not as easy as you say it is, and it's near impossible without causing Up rages, No they will not listen to what you have to say, sorry.

Adjust your strategy to the game, not the game to your strategy.

I'd be willing to bet my copy of ODST that the entire campaign on Heroic will be much longer than 5 hours. In one of their E3 interviews(don't ask me which), one of Bungie's representatives said something along the lines of "ODST is much bigger than what it was a few months ago. It's grown into a full-fledged game. When we do expansion packs, we don't fool around"

Yeah i mean the second ODST disk... But the thing i don't get is why, why would it be a must to pay for one disc!! I mean why could they just not have extra price for those who allready owns the Halo 3! So instead to pay for 2 discs you could get the first ODST disc and redeem codes for the 3 map packs that costs! And sell that for like 40$... It would be much nicer of them so i brought this up for 3 reasons!

1. Some dude telled me the graphics would be improved!
2. When upgraded the engine why not use it!
3. Why pay for the same disc twice!

I hope you understand me now and i am really dissappointed cause i would really have wished they would use the graphics cause the only thing i haven't liked with Halo is the really bad graphics but now they looked very good! But i think i will still buy this cause i am bit calmed down now so... But hopefully in a close future they might release some maps on the first ODST disc with some slayer and stuff!!

See now. I had a feeling you were a whiny teen, but I thought you might just be a stupid adult.

And really? You made a typo and you're calling ME a dumbass? That's just silly.

They did improve it. Not the graphics, but the game style. Do your research first.

Considering this is the 2057th topic regarding Halo 3: ODST's multiplayer, and the author apparently never reads the weekly updates, I'd hardly say he "has problems".

  • 06.15.2009 2:22 PM PDT

does it really matter if the multiplayer has slightly improved graphics? The new maps will probably include some of the new things that bungie is putting into the campaign and firefight and the old ones will still have the same awesome gameplay as before. Anyway Halo 3 still has really good graphics, I was amazed by the graphics of Halo 3 when I played it for the first time and I still think it looks amazing. I would rather have improved gameplay than improved graphics anyday.

you're gonna call a kids point invalid because you dont like GOW2? you must not know what validity is.

Honestly the OP has a point...a short campaign, 3 maps, and firefight should not be $60, bungie even said in an interview that they dont see it as a full title. The GOW2 deal is much better and it would seem the only reason ODST is full price is because its halo and M$ knows people will pay for it anyway.

Listen up Jowf, Halo 3: ODST DOES have graphical boosts. See, Bungie has given this game some better filters. Notice how great the game looks at night? While it may be the same graphics engine, doesn't mean it can have any added "fluff". Imagine its like the Forge FIlters but on a larger scale.

I would also like to point out that depending on your play style, the campaign can and probably will be longer than 5 hours.

Nice to see you metnion the Gears of War 2 "All Fronts Pack". Oh boy, an extra mission that would probably only last about 45 minutes? SWEET! And all the maps released as DLC? EPIC! Too bad Bungie still has the cheaper deal. One free map pack, a free map, a discounted map pack and a full priced map pack. Compares that to GoW2's maps.

Halo 3: ODST will be a game worth playing. But if you judge a game by its graphics...you are not a true gamer. FFXIII looks good, but it can still suck big time.
