thank you * AbeLincoln15 that's exactly what I was about to say.
In general Gears catches more hot headed fans who are just like PS3 fans... there is no point in arguing with them because their too bull headed to take in the fact they may be wrong.

ODST is taking the best first-person shooter series and making the playable characters more like humans with no shields, a health bar, unable to handle the power of duel-wielding powerful weapons, slower run speed, shorter jumps, and I'm sure weaker melee attacks. (even though they should be using their knifes for melee attacks) The game utilizes stealth as your main advantage and also take an exploration side with doing detective work about the whereabouts of your teammates for the first part of the game.

Firefight is just like combining campaign mode with multi-player mode using all of Halo2's scoring and using your own custom character design wile you take on waves after waves of enemies while the Halo3 campaign skulls turn on and off random times making all kinds of trouble forcing you to change your tactics. vehicles are usable as well as I think you can use forge for Firefight. I'm not sure about that last part though I can't imagine why not since that'll increase the replay value and enjoyment ten-fold.

Expect to see me playing ODST nearly 24-7 for a very, VERRRY long time...

It's very similar, admittedly, but I think ODST is different in the way you can use Vehicles, and skulls radically change things.

Sighs... Gears 2 did not start Survival Mode. Its been in games for a long, long time.



Sigh.....I know that Genius But Horde mode was Diffrent from other Survival Modes.


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.


bungie didnt copy off any game companies! they said many times they did it cause we requested it so much! so it was us not bungie! stop making threads like this!

I make a legitimate thread on the most logical choice for the next Bond actor, and you take that away from me by creating a parody thread indirectly connecting my thread to yours.

I hope your kids have bad influences and develop bad personalities. I wish this with all my heart.

In ODST, you're going for points. These are boosted by Campaign and Multiplayer Medals. Gears, you're just trying to survive. Also, in Gears, Teammates can respawn indefinitely after every round, and can be revived when they go down. The list of differences goes on.

I was in 5th grade. I popped in the Halo CE disc into the massive, clunky first generation Microsoft Xbox, and wrapped my small hands around the controller that was almost too big for me. Little did I know what I was getting into.

10+ years later, I still look up to my childhood hero, Master Chief, while everyone talks about He Man and Spongebob haha

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.




WTF!? are you talking about!


He's applying the logic of this thread to way larger scale. Read it over. It's very deep. It doesn't matter if someone did it before; always look for innovation and strive to get ahead.

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"




dude im not some halo nerd go annoy someone else I posted a Thread fro ODST this is the ODST forum Right? Hmmm...I think im in the right forum.Beeyotchhh.


Lol very nice you called me a -blam!- and a nerd awesome. Now please tell me where in that post I told you, you were in the wrong forum?

Common Sense= Halo Nerd...have to remember that.


i wondered where you said that he was in the wrong forum too. LOL i re read your post like 5 times trying to find what i'd missed

OMG a girl!

Actually, Halo fans requested for a survival mode loads quite a while before Gears2, and then Cliffy B actually mentioned thats where they got the idea to add the horde mode to GoW2, yeah it's been done for a long time in games, but they put it into GoW because so many people wanted it for Halo and they knew it would be a good way to get Halo players to go play GoW instead.

Wassup?

GoW2's Horde mode was big hit for a while and Bungie is probably just trying to emulate some of that success.

I'd say ODST is much more unique to GOW for various reasons, also Firefight will definitely be much different to any other survival mode and the campaign alone will In my opinion be as far different than any other game. Overall I think ODST is very different and will be like this - Halo 3 ODST > Gears Of War 2

Firefight can use warthogs, you can spawn, you have abit shield, different life amount, they will activate skulls, there are enemy wraith and much more

Yeah, firefight is like horde, but I'm sure it will play different. It is a different game after all. Out of the three maps we've seen they aren't big enough to just find your teammates dead, plus there's many lives, and you can bring your dead team back if your the last man standing. How is not yet known. Even if it's not totally original, who cares? I wanted a Halo "horde" mode before gears two was even announced. It's going to rock.

And about the audio logs being like cog tags, lots of games have collectibles for achievements, and sometime they cue you in on backstory. Bioshock's audio logs for example. And COD4 has intel to collect for achievements. Point is that collectibles for achieves and rewards are older than John McCain. Hey-O! JKmybffJohnJohn.

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.


2) OMG - GoW2 does NOT have set in place enemy spawns, you are so full of s**t it sickens me.

  • 07.10.2009 10:49 AM PDT

They are both great survival modes. And survival modes are on the rise for most games, they are addictive and fun! Why not throw it into Halo? I've been wanting a 'Horde' mode for Halo for a while. I'm glad it's finally coming.

  • 07.10.2009 10:51 AM PDT

Are you serious man? Are you really saying this is a copy of GOW? -blam!-ing trolls.

Why does everyone seem to want to presume Bungie is copyng others? Bungie re-invented the FPS for this generaton.

And there only similar, its not cloned. Cloned is when its an exact copy.

You are so dumb it sickens me. He meant GoW2 has certain enemies that come based on the wave. Wave 1 will have drones. Wave 2 will have Drones and a Boomer etc etc. ODST does not have this every wave is random except every 5 will be Brute Chieftains.

My troll sense is tingling.

There have been plenty of games that have similar features to Horde and Firefight.

If you don't know who I am, the feeling is mutual.

I had a problem with Horde mode because after awhile, you'd just get Boomers and Bloodmounts up the ass, making getting past level 10 a huge challenge. Brutes aren't as common, so that doesn't make gameplay on higher difficulties nearly as annoying.
