I wanted to know if anyone is bothered by the fact that we will be playing as characters that literally died every 2 seconds when we played like chief. If this game turns into one of those shooters where your character is the one to survive where everyone around him lives then it might as well be a WW2 shooter. For me it justs ticks me off that the game will be played through an average soldier. No hero status, no expertise in all weapons, no nothing. Just a low down rookie and a bunch of other good for nothing ODST that i used to kill for their weapons when i was chief.

It being Bungie the story will be amzing and all the controls and ideas will be too. Just the characters chosen annoy me. I really hope that during the game an ODST runs into MC and gets sniped in the head for his BR.

BUt its another Halo game and Bungie could put a surprise somewhere inside the game. Hopefully they don't put surprises for Reach cause i can care less about it. I mean maybe something that can tease the mind for something greater than just a group of ODST who might make it out alive. Maybe something to tease the MC story instead of the ODST story, or the Reach story. Give your thoughts. And yah express anger...even those loud mouths have a say in this even though they're gonna get blammed for it, just like i will for this thread.

Why did your guys die every 2 seconds. Mine seem to be able to go head to head with the covenant just fine unless they're out numbered. I can't wait to be able to actually play as the ODST instead of being a Spartan.
Also watch the day at the beach halo video the ODST in that are pretty tough.

Sure ODST's died in past Halo games, but there is a perfectly good reason why the story is about this squad.

Take another squad, for example. They land in New Mombasa, and end up getting killed 5 minutes in. Would that be fun? No.

That being said, the reason that the story IS around this certain squad, is because they lived.

It kinda bothers me that im not chief . But when i play that is the marines ODST i crazy there the droppers from hell.

Believe. Bungie.

Well if you wanted to keep your ODST alive then yah go for it i got nothing against you. I say they died every second becus they were of no use, their driving was real bad, and for some reason they guns were weirdly weaker than the Chief's. I was playing a game of H# yesterday on Heroic for fun and i noticed that the ODST would take all types of long to kill something. Usually they needed to overwhelm the enemy with group size. And eexactly what i was saying, did you read, another story about a group of soldiers who lived. You ever play COD my friend. At least the Halo Trilogy reminded us that even amazing stories don't need happy endings.

You actually hate the ODSTs? I hate you just for saying that. They die every two seconds because you just run out all trigger happy and they follow you, and get killed because you probably failed to kill the enemies quickly enough. ODSTs in campaign are probably the greatest thing you can get to a reliable ally if you know how to look after them.

Believe. Bungie.

Bud i've done the H3 campaign on Legendary all my lonesome. I even got halfway through that whole ordeal where you had to get through legendary with all skulls. Please don't judge my skill unless your wants to be judged. And yes i dislike the hell out of the ODST. They bore me. Not that Bungie won't be able to make me like them, but thats only because Bungie can. I still won't like the ODST, to me they are like failed Spartans. Soldiers have gotten close to Spartan status but just didn't make it. I don't hate them though. I see some type of potential in the way the game is laid out. At least Bungie shows that the ODST are normal because of the way they are armed with stealth which is cool. Bungie sees they can't make the ODST exactly Rambo type characters but made it fun with their own attributed.So once again don't judge and please don't get your panties in a bunch.

I like the fact that you're just a nobody ODST. Makes you see things in a better perspective in the game, like there's more going on than just what you're doing.

Easy solution for you then.... don't buy it and don't play it. Sit in the corner facing the wall and wearing your special hat.

I love Halo, I have played it since the beginning, even though I may not have had Xbox Live back then. Marathon is also a pretty good game.

Thank You Bungie! For the best games and Recon Armor. Also thanks for the early access to the Halo: Reach Beta!

This account was hacked and I now have a new account.

I don't realy have a problem with it. It will be just like Halo: CE.

Yep, at one point in The Ark I had 2 ODST passengers with snipers and an ODST turret gunner on my prowler... serious win.

Elites were the best especially in halo 2, they were the only ones who i could really depend on to watch my back. in halo 3, they're weaker, but they are still superior to the marines in terms of accuracy, damage taking, smarts and firepower, especially with catch skull and mythic, they also knew how to dip out of trouble which marines have so much trouble realising they should do as well

No, it is not getting to me, and I think this is another one to add to the pile of utterly senseless whines I read on the odst forum.
