Subject: ODST or is it a GoW2 Lookalike

1. Nothing says that Firefight is the same as Hordes, reverse.
2. Your teammates can spawn until a certain amount of extra lives have been used.

you take away the part of cover, and make the weapons and enemies different and you have firefight. Before that there were gametypes of other games that integrated the same things into their modes its only considered different because its a next gen game.

ok so it has a firefight mode on odst just like GoW's hord mode big friken woop look at the gameplay its completly different...

Gears didn't do it differently at all.

ODST Firefight is like -blam!- zombies and horde put together. Theirs no end to Firefight much like -blam!- zombies and the enemies are smart much like horde mode.

ODST is unique with the skull system.

I guess I can understand if you don't want to make out with guys in the US if they're so ugly, you should just say so though.

I'm going to have to go with the OP on this one. Survival mode was always in games, but Gears ressurected a dead idea and revolutionized it. Making other game companies create such things in order to keep up with the addictive strategies.

Of course video games take idea's from other games, thats what makes them awesome. So what, we don't make any money off of them, why should we care how they're made? They're made for us to have fun and that's all i do with them.

Hmm, last time I checked, Survival Modes are about killing enemies for as long as you Survive. Horde Mode sounds pretty similar if you ask me. Besides, they imposed a 50 wave limit to it. In some ways, that's a step backwards.

Don't get me wrong, Horde Mode was great. It revitalized the Survival Mode idea. But saying that its different, I feel, is just wrong.

And you shouldnt base your opinion of the game on a new and common feature that has almost nothing to do with the main storyline.

On the podcast, I believe they said that if all your teammates are dead and your the last one and you make it past the wave your teammates came back to life.
Edit: But who cares where they got it from the game is still going to be great :D.

Who cares if ODST "copied" gears 2, a survival type thingy has been around for ages. L4d got one and nobody complained about that!

  • 07.10.2009 7:31 AM PDT

I am a whisper on the wind...

ok several things-
1) GoW2 has a limit to the # of waves.
Firefight has an unlimited # of waves.

2) ODST has random enemy spawns except for the 5th wave.
GoW2 has set enemy spwns.

3) ODST lets you bring back dead teamates if all of you lives are gone.
GoW2 doesnt.

4) GoW2 is NOT the first game to have a survival mode.
ODST is also NOT the first game to have a survival mode.


Hope that help you out.

Anyone notice how in GoW 2 theres a Horde mode Just like Firefight in ODST,
& what if it follows the same path as GoW 2, you suddenly find your Team mates Dead along the way only leaving you alone or with one companion Maybe...?


Guys just let this Thread die Obviously some people dont know how to discuss "Calmly"


I love how you now are saying to let the thread die. If you wanted a calm discussion you wouldn't have the thread title "ODST or is it a GoW2 Lookalike" that is just asking for trouble.

Not to mention the many differences.

#1. Gameplay.
#2. Unlimited Rounds vs 50 Rounds
#3. Random Spawns vs Set Spawns
#4. Skulls
#5. Vehicles

The add that GoW2 just brought the "Survival" mode back as it has been in many games before it.

F.Y.I I liked GoW2's Horde mode, I'm just saying that just because it was in GoW2 more recently doesn't mean "OMGZ HALO OSDT COPIED GOW!11"

No it isn't. Survival mode has been the same for every game. Enemies come, they die, round over, more come...seriously, Devil may cry was the first game that I played that had a survival mode, but I didn't go round saying capcom invented it.

Plus you forget. Horde has a limeited amount of rounds, ODST doesn't.

ROBOHOG IS VERY BRILLIANT AND STUFF.

So what are you saying? That because Gears 2 had Horde mode, ODST isn't allowed to have its own version? What if navies all over the world hadn't made their own versions of Ironclads or Dreadnoughts? What if America didn't go into space because Russia had done it already? What if primitive human beings never left Africa because some others had done it before them, and so they'd be "unoriginal"? With this train of thought, nothing would ever get done and advancements would never be made. This applies to everything, including the video game industry.

The fact is, people want cool things in video games and many video games developers like to put cool things into the games they develop, even if they've been done already. Horde is cool. Members of Bungie obviously think Horde is cool because they're introducing a similar feature to ODST, a move which will be praised by most people who play it. Where is the problem? Just play the game.

The concept wasn't invented in Gears 2 with Horde. Wave modes in games have been around for a while.
