"He's already pulled over....he can't pull over any further!" supertroopers

... are you really not allowing us to play agaist each other? I don't understand.

So I'm only paying 60 bucks for Gears of War's Hoard mode? We can't even play TS or FFA against other humans?

I'm afraid this game will get old very, very quickly without matchmaking or custom games.

ODST comes with another disc that allows users to play Matchmaking on Halo 3's normal system, so yes, you can play others. Also, ODST was always seen as an expansion, so multiplayer wasn't expected. FireFight was a huge surprise to everyone.

im sure they will have a matchmaking or custom games equivilant for firefight. bungie has already learn that to keep their games #1, they need to maintain the multiplayer experiance, so im sure they will carry this knowledge onto ODST.

im Just trying to get more xp on my lone wolves 50 before reach comes out,Thats really the only time I put effort in. Other then that I mess around in social with friends... I use to play pretty seriously, that time has passed....

maybe some people want an ODST multiplayer.. were u use the ODST guns and characters.. for 70$ its only right they come with the full package.. Instead of just campaign, survival and 3 maps for 70... when halo 3 had campaign, custom editing, theatre, about 15 maps on release, online play, and a forge for 70$... big difference... Makes me think the next game will just have a campaign with nothing else and will charge 70$

I know this. The fact that the Halo 3 engine is being used is the reason it's considered an expansion. The fact that they are dangling the pistol along with no equipment (I've been against equipment since the start) in firefight and not giving us the opportunity to play other humans with the new weapon and subtraction of equipment is what gets to me.

There won't be matchmaking, but my group Firefight Squad Command is sort of a way to find people to play with. Its in my groups list.

I have not heard anything about Bungie creating a multiplayer for ODST. People, including myself, are going to buy it regardless for the already released featured at E3.

I am tired of people being ignorant and lazy! Stop complaining and realize the facts. ODST is an expansion pack not a new game aka Halo Reach. We get firefight, and a beast new campaign, and the second part of mythic. Read around and stop trolling the forums about there being no new multiplayer. Also, your reason for new multiplayer is stupid, why make a whole new online for 1 new weapon and no equipment which was never a huge part of it to begin with.

Thank you for your input. Once you wipe the brown off your nose maybe you can understand why I am simply disappointed.

All personal wishes aside, you are seriously misrepresenting the product. You are getting an all new campaign, with an all new game mode. Halo3 with all DLC maps, plus 3 new maps (retail equiv of $40), and all of the current forge and theatre tools. Not to mention the beta for the next game, which is really just icing on the cake.

I understand the want for an ODST MP component, but try and think about the fleet of people that would have been pissed with it because it didn't play like Halo3. Bungie cannot seem to win when it comes to pleasing it's fans, there is always some group of people that will gripe about some change or some addition.

In regards to a comment made by the OP about Firefight dying quick, I disagree. Horde mode was a huge hit for Gears2, and if they maps are done right with great enemy AI and variety (which it sounds like they've pegged) then Firefight will become one of the most addictive means to play a Halo game.

Its been made so that now there is a second disk for multiplayer and online, while the first disk is campain and firefight, to me it sounds awesome, dunno about u

I hear you. I didn't like GoW's hoard mode because I didn't like GoW2. That may be why I'm so apprehensive about Firefight.

I also understand that everyone can't be pleased and I'm okay with that. But some of us old-timers like the Halo 1 style of play but keep playing H3 because of the badass MP. It's almost just a pipe-dream for us to have ODST multiplayer.

As a CE alumni, I feel you, but it isn't meant to be. Aside from the fact that people would gripe, ODST, as well as CE was never designed with online MP in mind and would suffer balance issues. This could make for some pretty poor gameplay once you introduce lag into the situation.

True. Let us pray Reach has a plethora of options to make it the game you want it to be in customs.

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"

I would rather have it like they are releasing.

Seriously, if they implanted the new weapons into halo 3 matchmaking, I would probably stop playing. We dont need an overpowered pistol to rule over all the other weapons.

yes but we bought ODST to play ODST, not halo 3.

  • 06.17.2009 12:51 PM PDT

Recon armor was not gifted or bestowed upon me. I earned it through blood, sweat, and tears. Road to Recon complete, on to the next challenge. Halo 3: 1750/1750, ODST: 1000/1000, Reach: 1400/1400.

Then don't buy it.

  • 06.17.2009 12:52 PM PDT

Ya you can always remove shields, remove headshots, crank up the damage resistance, and give people weapons, and it will be almost the same...

Mythical Group

There is no greater catharsis than arguing on the Flood.

New maps + Survival Mode (Gears interpreted it horribly) + Awesome campaign = Fun game.
