Should Bungie drop the "3", in the title of Halo 3:ODST?




I think they should. The game doesn't really relate all that much to Halo 3 and if they remove the number, it might even help people justify buying the game. Removing the number 3 would make people think of the game as a totally new game rather than an expansion. Whatever you vote for, please explain your reasoning.

No for the hundreth time NO! It only takes place a few weeks before Halo 3 so it is Halo 3:ODST

Well I'm not sure.

You see, this is the basic argument in these forums:

When a thread pops up asking why ODST is lacking a feature, fanboys say ITS AN EXPANSION!

When a thread pops up asking why its being overpriced, fanboys say ITS NOT AN EXPANSION!

In other words, taking off the 3 in the title will finally make it official that it is not an expansion, thus, fanboys won't have their little arguments to battle with.

Yes they should but it is too late to do that.

Yeah, I agree that taking out the 3 would make the game not an expansion.

Well, not to me. I just think that it would be better for Bungie if they did because people might stop complaining that an expansion is fully priced.

I like the idea. Although it is somewhat close to the halo3 timeline it is still just a small expansion of halo2. There should be no number though as to give players the idea that this isn't your Master Chief and Arbiter storyline...this is different.

They already captured that with the ODST part, but the 3 is holding it back from the glory still remaining. That was a good suggestion. Glad to have you here at the net.

It's "Gashnor", not "Gashner", there's an O in there.

There's a REASON it's called Halo 3: ODST. Why is the 3 there? Because it's running the Halo 3 game engine, therefore IT IS AN EXPANSION. If it were a new game, Bungie would make a new game engine. This is the same reason many people call CoD: WaW an expansion to CoD4, it's the same engine and same game, just a few tweaks.

It's the same game engine, roughly the same weapons, and has the same exact multiplayer. It's Halo 3, deal with it.

They have the 3 in the title because it's still using the Halo 3's engine.

Then I can call so many other games merely expansions. Especially Dawn of War seeing how it is only just an expansion. No really, DoW is. Kind of lame.

The only thing I don't agree with you is the fact it's not just an expansion, It's been stated numerous times that it's become much more of a expansion.

No. Bungie would have to re-do the in-game text strings which would take an unnecessary amount of work. They already have enough to do, getting Reach made and all.

Maybe I will never be
All the things that I wanna be
But now is not the time to cry
Now's the time to find out why
I think you're the same as me
We see things they'll never see
You and I are gonna live forever

Halo 2.5: Odst.

Yes, the 3 isn't relevant.
The Halo part isn't relevant, either.

Why don't we just make the game completely unrecognisable and call it ODST?

  • 07.04.2009 6:27 AM PDT

Lolular!

Kyletacular-Killtacular-get it?
