Subject: Halo 3 ODST will be a dying game?

So, you want to hear a story eh? One about treasure hunters? Have I got a story for you!

The campaing and the firefight will be awesome (i think). But it will get boring fast. In halo 3 there was Matchmaking and Customgames. But nothing to ODST without firefight. This game would be good like halo 3 if it had matchmaking. It would be fun, like 4 vs 4 ODSTs.

ODST doesn't have a Matchmaking, they use H3's. And the Campaign, from everything i've heard is going to be CE with more stealth.

Pretty much. This is what happens when kids don't pay attention in English class. Not to mention they're anywhere from 7 to 13.

Duracell.
I don't keep going and going and going and...
but i Start, and just don't Stop.

So what if the saxophone is black?
it has better tone the the gold one.
damn straight i play Jazz.

i look forward to ODST, it's exactly what i'd been hoping for. the ODSTs were always my favorite charters ever since in Halo 2(Delta Halo) I saw one kick the crap out of the white elite with the sword in that first engagement on legendary. he saved my ass too, the elite was in the process of lunging at me.

Look the OP stated his opinion ( Which I do think is wrong in my view.) but obviously hardly anyone agrees with him for various reasons. One opinion isn't fact so to be honest there's no point showing your opinion to him by pointing out his errors in thinking, so let him think whatever to himself and just don't worry about something you could have just glimpsed at once and decided to not bother with.

Unfortunately, yes. These forums tend to attract a lot of little kids with no respect for the English language. It is terrible, but there are diamonds in the rough.

Oh and OP, your opinion on Halo 3 is not fact. Actually this whole thread is just opinion. There are some, like me, who love every Halo campaign.

Agreed, Halo3 campaign was fine.
So was Halo2's.
And so was Halo:CE's
Btw, Horde mode wasn't the first created "survive" type of game, there were several before it.

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.


Alright you've made your point...which is really bashing Halo 3, Halo 3: ODST, and bringing up non-Bungie titles that you think are better.

First, your spelling is really awful but since you can capitalize and use punctuation, who cares. At least you tried in that area.

Second, I own all the Halo games and have been playing Halo for about 6 or more years.
Halo CE is actually so good, I will play it for the fun of it over Halo 2 and Halo 3. The campaign is spectacular but the graphics aren't that great (Actually Halo PC has better graphics than original Xbox Halo).
Halo 2 has a nice long campaign that granted was a little confusing at first with the ability to play as the Arbiter, but still a great game with new additions of weapons, vehicles, abilities, and a new Shield system. It's multiplayer is better than Halo CE's (not including Halo Custom Edition) and had way better multiplayer maps.
Then Halo 3 came out and it's campaign may be a little short, and the 8th level isn't actually all that fun, but it was still a lot of fun and I played it for months before getting Xbox LIVE (From 09/25/07 to 03/14/08). The multiplayer is the best yet and Halo 3 brought in Forge and Saved Films.
Finally, Halo 3: ODST drops in and brings us something we've wanted since the level "Delta Halo" in Halo 2, the ability to play as an ODST. Reverting back to the Halo CE health system (sort of) and giving us an open-world game to explore. We've also been granted a wish we've been wishing for months, a little something called Firefight. Plus a silenced SMG, and a Halo CE/Halo 2 pistol hybrid that puts Halo 3's pistol to shame have been added.

Third, I have friends who have played Gears of War 2's Horde mode. I only saw paople playing it for about 1 or 2 months, then it was back to Call of Duty: World at War's Zombie Survival Mode and Halo 3. I recently talked to some friends about ODST's Firefight and the similarities between Firefight and Horde. They said they thought Horde boring. I can see why, waves of enemies all the same, just making them stronger and throwing in some harder to kill enemies per wave. That gets old fast. And in my opinion, Gears of War is boring. I only like the chainsaw on the gun part. Firefight throws random groups of enemies at you and they never ever stop. Skulls are added to make the game steadily harder until you'll be switching out your trusty new SMG for a Plasma rifle because it's the only thing that can take out their shields. You're also going to want a melee weapon for Black Eye time. Halo 2 Legendary Jackal snipers hard? Oh yeah, that's a definite yes! It's more fun. Simple as that.

Fouth, Black Eye is fun. I personally love beating the crap out of any enemy who dares shoot me and usually beat down more than I use my weapon (except for Legendary).

Fifth, people who want to play the game as it is will play it over new games or an equal share. And if you think it will fail, go play them so we can be rid of your negativity and you can enjoy your gaming experience. If you're just going to bash the game, why don't you play games you find more fun? No one is ordering you to buy ODST.

Last, sorry for the wall of text but it had to be done.

I don't see how it will fail. Even when new games come out, I'll play those for a while and then come right back to Halo 3. It's a matter of personal preference. But I don't the populations in Halo 3 will suffer. We still get around 200,000 people on a bad day.

Subject: Halo 3 ODST will be a dying game?

Remember ODST is an expansion. this is not for several years like the previous ones but just for a couple of months. the campaign is going to be really fun there is no ones direct path to the end and you can do whatever you want to do inside the city. i think people will actually continue to play the campaign because of how it is set up.

Halo 3 did not have a terrible campaign is was just good (not the best though cause i was disappointed in the end when all we had to do was kill guilty spark and it was too easy) but anyways it had some sweet campaign moments. They probably just focused alot on multiplayer because they seen thats what fans wanted.

Again ODST does not have a multiplayer like the previous its just having Halo 3 maps and multiplayer in a separate disk. The skull idea was good cause you actually got to know what the skull does and makes it more challenging.

The firefight maps: first of all you saying these are simple is wrong. I am not saying im right but you are seeing just screenshots and vids so you cannot tell if they are simple or are they complicated and also you only seen like 3 (the third is from johnson pics).

last point is the other games. yes i do know there will be great games coming out like Modern warfare 2, assassins creed II, and bioshock 2 (cannot say anything about this because i have not play it). I will be getting 2 of 3 of these games because they are great games and i think they will be fun. But you saying these are new is completely wrong except for assassins creed II (which look like they change it up alot add new weapons news ways of transportation etc) Modern warfare 2 (which i am completely excited to see to come out) will most likely the same thing. they are bringing back alot of weapons from COD 4 but also i can say they are add some good stuff. But it seem likes its going to be like Cod 4 with couple new guns, perks, etc.

I am also thinking new firefight maps just in time for Christmas to expand more gamesplay.

I am not tryiing to sound rude man but lets wait to see the game come out first before we way anything about it.

Yeah, pretty much. Maybe this wasn't the best thread you could pop into first. :/

Subject: Halo 3 ODST will be a dying game?

To the OP, Sorry but i have to disagree with you. I realise that your post is your opinion but you're missing out on some major points.

1. Sure people may leave ODST for awhile to play the newer games coming out, but also realise how boring those are going to get ! AC2 and BS 2 are both SINGLE player ! which is fine until you beat it ! then what ? i don't really feel like running through a city trying to find 50 little hidden flags or whatever else they'll make you do in AC2. While games coming out may have great graphics also remember that great graphics doesn't equal a great game.

2. Like others have said ODST is an expansion not a "full" game like the others in the halo series but that being said we still get a TON of content ! Firefight is going to be amazing ! the skull addition is brilliant ! and with the random enemy spawns and increasing difficulty plus infinite waves it's 100x better than horde which was "kill a mauler plant the shield and camp till level 50" horde got boring after about a week.

3. ODST won't die at the most it'll be what people turn to when they want a change from the regular multiplayer i mean come on it's been what 3 years since halo 3 was released and it's still constantly the number 1 played game on xbox live none of the "halo killers" have done anything really so i'm not too worried.

There is no greater catharsis than arguing on the Flood.

1. Not all skulls will turn on in firefight.
2. People are saying holy -blam!- because it actually looks fun to play.
3. Firfight is NOTHING like Epic Game's creations, they didn't invent survival mode.
4. There are also three new maps.
5. The campaign, is going to kick ass period.

-blam!- Was that actually blammed out? Or did I just type it? You'll never know.

With a fanbase like Bungie's, it doesn't need to be an enduring game.

Yes spelling is always very bad here, embarrassingly so

Phoenix you're wrong when you get to a high enough set in firefight all the skulls will turn PERMANENTLY on :P will be interesting to see what set that happens in !

No, I'm not. The silver skulls I know can only be triggered, and blackeye will never turn on, same with the iron.

I think too many people are just not giving this game a chance. I've always thought in the terms that if you don't like a game, don't play it or buy it. However, you can't say anything until you have played this game. Until then, you're just baselessly stating that you don't like this game.

And speak for yourself, I think Firefight will be a great addition. And you make it sound like the first 2 Halo's MP sucked. So I think that by you implying that, you have already lost any credence you might have had.

Like I've said before, there are no games that are going to "kill" Halo 3. Stop saying that. People will try those games out, then they all come back to Halo. That's the way it has been, that's the way it is, and that's the way it'll stay.
There's also no definitive reason to believe that Halo will be the game everyone "comes back to" forever. Don't make it sound like this will be forever a popular game.

If you don't like the game, don't buy it. Simple as that. I I'm sorry if it's hard to impress you with the game, but if you don't like it, don't buy it.

I hate you.
How the -blam!- do you know if you like something if you haven't played it, which would require a purchase of some sort?

Granted, yes,op is a moron but that phrase is an incredibly overused half assed excuse to say "stop complaining". I know it's a tough concept, but, people have legitimate concerns with things, y'know?

If you don't like the game, don't buy it. Simple as that. I haven't played halo CE, but halo 2, and halo 3 were mind-blowing. The campaigns of both were great. You are right on one thing. The halo 3 multiplayer did come a long way, but all games make improvements. That's why they call it updates.

I'm glad you can predict the future by telling us that firefight will go out in about 2 weeks. Can I have my chances of me winning RECON armor any time before the ODST launch?

Last time I checked, Bungie didn't enter a show-off contest with the other games to see who can make the better game. It's about game experience. They already told us that it will be halo 3 somewhat but through a ODSTs eyes which is what most people wanted. I'm sorry if it's hard to impress you with the game, but if you don't like it, don't buy it.


your post has so much flawed evidence im not even gonna start

I agree with this guy 100%. It's just your opinion and a lot of people liked the campaign and the co-op as well!

All those games brought something new when they first came out. The games you mentioned are the sequels that bring almost nothing new with them except a couple new features (except bioshock multiplayer) . The same as Halo 3 ODST. Of course those games will be awesome and I will be buying them, but just like ODST they dont bring anything new with them. since theyre sequels.
