Well according to a *source* (can't be provided or I'll get banned sorry), the game doesn't seem to be that long.

I mean it does have quite alot of "extra" things to do in the game but the main story doesn't seem that long.

According to the *source* it appears that there won't be as many flashbacks as we thought (don't want to say how many exatcly.. i might get banned :P.. buy let's just say there aren't as many as we had thought). Although, it does appear that there will be some missions that won't be in flashback style.

I'm sorry, but this is kinda hard to explain without showing you guys the *source* first. Hopefully most of you already got the news..

Something else.. Does it seem that there is two campaigns.. Like there is a "flashback style" campaign and a non flashback style campaign. No, I'm not saying they're separate. They're going to be running simultaneously. To see what I mean, go to the *source* and see the 8th and 9th object. You can see that its different than the first couple of objects. Which could mean that there is two different style campaigns (running at the same time).

*I might delete this part off my post ^^. I don't want too give out to much away. Please tell me if you feel its too much*

So do you think the game is kinda shorter or longer than expected?

PS: Mods, if you feel this is near the brink of "spoiling" then delete this..Please no ban though =|

Really? I thought there was going to be a total of 7 flashbacks.. Although the *source* says otherwise.

I mentioned this a while back, but they compared it to being close to the GTA. I like the idea of you running around ODST and saving innocent survivors [if any] and killing every single brute that is in the city.

Just because there isn't many levels, doesn't mean that they are short. They could be really long, for all we know.

im sorry but i think your 'source' is full of crap :)

  • 06.23.2009 5:08 PM PDT

J-H

Don't forget that ODST is open-world so there will be lots of eploring etc. to do aswell as basic missions. :)

What's with all the secretive bs? How do we know you even have a *source* other than your own imagination? If you actually do then send me a pm with it, and i'll apologise for doubting you.

Dude I don't care and my grammer is perfect.I used "Big", as you recall it to mak is specific."to not do...",is incorrect beause "do" is present tense/perfect(or future) when it was a past tense.

8 flashbacks, the sandbox to explore, firefight... I don't think that this is too short, especially considering that it's an expansion.

but if each flasback is at least 30 mins long it will only be 4 hours long

plus normal nighttime city might be 2 hours (being generous)

that would equal about.. oh 6 hours approximately.... i guess that's not soooo bad, (plus it's open world could be explored for a long time) i guess that's not bad for a half game
(mirrors edge = half game, one gamemode)

You tread a dangerous line.

no-one, i was just making an estimate from reasonable mission lengths.

that why i said at least, and approximately =)

oh and in one of the e3 vids Joe Staten mentions that the bridge flashback was about 30 minutes long

It looks fine. Ever played Halo 3's campaign? Anything's better than that... too short and boring.

If It's significantly tougher,length won't be a problem.On the subject of banning,they'll probably put a forum notice up at this rate.
