Subject: Halo 3 ODST will be a dying game?

Yeah, because this will definately be the time that people stop buying Halo games; you know, what with the new protagonist, touching new music by Marty O' Donnell, a fascinating story, characters so imediately loveable that they are reminiscent of Aliens' CMs, a new gameplay dynamic, and also Firefight.

People will not be buying this, it's gonna wither and die, just like all other Halo games (which were all epic phail by the way).

I am most certainly not buying this repugnant s***, not at all, and no way will I pre-order it. No. Way. Not a chance in hell, am I buying Halo 3: ODST, in which comes out September 22. "Prepare To Drop"

Nihilism (from the Latin nihil, nothing) is a philosophical position that argues that existence is without objective meaning, purpose, or intrinsic value.

Put simply in the words of Nietzsche as "the will to nothingness".

Well that's his opinion and it's valid for him to have those concerns but only time will tell how wrong he his.

'Terrible campaign?'. I liked the halo1 and halo3 campaign the most. I don't see why you hate the halo3 campaign.. It was pretty awesome in my opinion

how can u actually say halo 3 campaign was mid blowing. it was the worst of all the halo series by far. it was too short and frankly didnd show as much as a story as the other games. im not saying odst is a bad game im just saying that the other games will surpass it making the multiplayer pops much lower and ppl will start leaving the game and play modern warefare.


If you actually paid attention, you would notice the level of detail included in the Halo 3 campaign experience. A VERY significant portion of the backstory was told via the Terminals. If you weren't such a narrow-minded person, you would have looked into it, and seen how rich of a story Halo 3 provided into the Halo canon.

People keep telling me to get a life... I am getting an education, I have a lovely girlfriend and alot of friends... I thought this was having a life? Gues I was wrong...

I am going to disregard everything written and just write something to the topic maker.
Halo 3s gameplay was pure awesome, if you think Halo 3s Campaign was terrible, your standards must be at the point where you want to be able to choose your path like in RPGs, .
Anyway, ODST will test out alot of beta systems they will be using for Reach, they even admitted it during an interview, so my gues is we are going to be able to beta test 2 things, Reach and the new systems in ODST(Health, Firefight, silence and suppressed weaponry) and see how well they work in perspective.
So will ODST die? Most likely not, a good campaign can save a game, and if they use Achievement recognition from Halo 3 and ODST, we will get alot of bonuses in Reach. And I have a good feeling that ODSTs campaign will be a nice addition to the Haloverse and will be able to keep me entertained just like Halo CE and Halo 2 does now.

i hate to say this but the OP is right about one thing. come november there probably will be a drop in population of matchmaking because of all the other games coming out.

So? They'll all be back >=)

Yeah, I'll be leaving for a while. Once I get bored of Assassin's Creed 2 and Modern Warfare 2, back to Halo for me. Even while I'm playing those games I'll play Infection in Halo

CoD's Multiplayer is no where as fun as Halo's, so I don't expect a huge drop in population.

Johnson quote FTW!
Otherwise the OP simply stated his opinions, personally I'd argue that Halo 2 had the worst Campaign of the series (much too scripted) but that's only my opinion. I know I'll probably log an insane amount of hours into the ODST Campaign and Firefight seeing as I'm not even bored with Halo 3 yet despite playing over 5000 multiplayer games and completing the Campaign on Mythic.

  • 06.24.2009 5:49 AM PDT

J-H

Well Halo: CE had the best campaign, 2 had the best multiplayer and 3 culminated both of those together in to one amazing package. ODST is going to be different to 3 but yet similar at the same time in that it will be amazing.

  • 06.24.2009 5:52 AM PDT

"Lock & Load" --Spartan-SL4

There is a couple good reasons why ODST shall live.
1. Firefight:: It was good in Gears of War 2, but Bungie can make it awesome.
2. Numbers:: Look at the stats, ODST is more popular than Modern Warfare 2, more people will buy it too.
3. Fans:: People won't pass the chance to get Sgt. Johnson or a new campaign.

Halo 3's campaign wasn't bad. Halo 2's story was longer and better and I admit, I was disapointed on how short Halo 3's story was but it was still good nonetheless. Halo 3 ODST does bring something new. A campaign that lets you roam free in the city of New Mombasa instead of just continuely going straight until you pass the level.

ROBOHOG IS VERY BRILLIANT AND STUFF.

I'm not even going to try and argue. ODST will sell, ODST will be popular, ODST will have its own fan base, ODST will wind up like every other good game coming out this autumn. The end.

I love my AK.

Send me a group invite...

... And I will find you, and show you your heart pulled out of your chest whilst you're still alive. :)

People who want to play the game will buy it, those who won't want to play the game won't buy it. It's not that hard to figure out.

Lol Mr SinPkr a.k.a. 5 year old whiner.
you're talking about AC2,MW 2, Bioschock 2 and saying that they bring something new....
Have you EVEN looked at the titels?!?!?! they are all a V.2, a.k.a. they will be different but not so much that it will be a whole different game from the first one.....
ODST brings with it Firefight...sort of horde but still new to the Halo universe...it's not alot of change but it is a change. same as the others I mentioned.
And you are actually telling us that Halo 3 campaign was terrible?!?!
DUDE what do you want! it was true Halo campaign only shorter =.= I don't know where your head was when you played the game.....
And you assume that everyone go plays the other games... but that's just nonsense maybe it will have a dip for a while but enough people will still be playing it.
AC 2 and Bioschock 2 are singeplayer games so people don't play it for that long...
Anyways stop the whining... we'll see what happens i'm going to buy the game anyways.
And next time you make a post l2type.

  • 06.24.2009 7:41 AM PDT

1.Arkham Asylum, 2.Mass Effect, 3.Halo CE, 4.Mass Effect 2, 5.Halo 2, 6.Splinter Cell Double Agent, 7.Gears of War 2, 8.Medievil, 9.Oblivion, 10.Crash Team Racing

Maybe that's why the focus isn't on online?

You could say HaloCE is old and dead, but plenty of people still play it every day. You don't need servers and people on internet to play it.

Game can't really die unless there are servers that can be empty or taken down.


And I couldn't care less about AC2 or MW2

Funny, I remember a thread right before Halo 3 came out claiming games like Bioshock, Call of Duty 4, and Assassains Creed would put Halo 3 to shame and destroy its multiplayer. And yet three years later, it still gets an average of 200,000+ players a day.

Firefight looks awesome, and the campaign looks great, and playing as an ODST will bring a needed dose of freshness to a series that was getting stale. And as for your worries of skulls in firefight, I am quite sure Black Eye is not included as the black eye skull restores shields with melees, and you do not have any shields. Multiplayer next, Halo 3 has very strong multiplayer, and despite what everyone always claims, it will not die away any time soon, especially with three new maps on the way with ODST. Right now, the only true possible threat to its multiplayer is Halo: Reach. I wish people would grow up and stop making "Halo is doomed to die" threads. When have you ever seen a Call of Duty game, or any other game for that matter, kill Halo's matchmaking? Call of Duty 4 didnt, Call of Duty: WaW didnt, Modern Warfare 2 wont.



true but now halo ODST is competing with games some with new game engines and greater Graphics then ODST. i also agree with you that halo 3 has strong multiplayer but eventually with all these new games some of the older halo 3 players will stray to other games.

Meh. Once again, Call of Duty isn't getting very much upgrade. MW2, looks exactly the same as COD4, graphic and gameplay wise.

It pisses me off when people say Halo 3 is ''Halo 2.5'' When Gears of War 2, and MW2 look exactly the same as their predecessors graphic wise, and the only one who brought actual new gameplay mechanics is Gears.

NO SOUP FOR YOU

I liked Halo 3 campaign more than Halo CE, It's more interesting.

hi i just wanted to say that bluntly i dont think odst is gonna cut it. Iv played halo games since halo ce launch and loved the campaing and gameplay in halo ce, halo 2 comes and brings a multiplayer edition to the game which i gotta say was pretty cool. then comes halo 3 the fail of alll the games. it contained a terrrible campaing , but improved its multiplayer.

.... and now comes ODST . i really hope that for the 60 bucks im paying for this game that the campaign will almost be as good as halo ce. after all ODST has the same halo 3 multiplayer except the new addition of firefight.

firefight is pretty much a horde mod is it not? i like the skull idea of skulls being added into each round for a few exception. the skull that makes u bash to get health i feel will really just bring DOWN the game. Also lets face it Odst firefight maps arent the best. right now everyone is -blam!- themselfs over them for what reason? they look fun but they have a fairly simple design. i bleive maybe after the first week of playing them ppl will get board of them.


then comes the other games... i belive that ppl will just get tired of the same halo 3 multiplayer and will quickly move on to games like bioshock 2 ,modern warefare 2 , and assassins creed 2. THE REASON WHY IS THAT THOSE GAMES BRING SOMTHING NEW. hell ODST is just halo 3 reverted to the halo CE health system and now your not a spartan, also it has improved Graphics which still wont sum up to the Graphics of the new release games like the ones i previously stated.

i really dont want ODST matchmaking to die right away once modern warfare 2 comes out. Bungie must have 1 hella card up there sleaves to save ODST.


You're an idiot...

Halo 3's campaign was short but sweet, the missions were pretty long with well made cutscenes. Terminals presented a back story which unlocks many mysteries surrounding the Halo series.
The scenery for the levels is also a massive advance for Halo, the scale has been pushed further and further by Bungie.

Firefight is so much more than Horde Mode. Loads of maps to play on and so on, so forth.
Also, so the Black Eye skull will be Halo ODST's downfall? Ever played with Iron?
Yeah, you're just backing out of an extra challenge.
PLUS, You've only seen 2 maps... As you traverse through campaign you unlock many more.

Halo 3 is still in the Top 10 most played games, think what you will but I assure you, Halo is a game that will never die.

And what does your opinion mean in front of the Bungie community? Nothing, absolutely nothing. If you think the game is going to be so bad then don't get it. Enjoy your Bioshock 2, MF 2 and Assassins Creed 2.

ODST is just an expansion, remember that. Not a "proper" game. So stop trying to make it something else!

Alright, first off Halo ODST is an expansion. What new do you want? Seccond what new do Bioshock 2, Modern Warfare 2, and Assassins Creed 2 have? New weapons and a new story?

Yep. You're dumb.
