Subject: Don't think of ODST as a Halo game

Halo CE=Chess
Halo 2=Backgammon
Halo 3=Checkers
Halo Reach=Rock-Paper-Scissors

All the way back from Halo: CE continuing on to halo 2 and halo 3 we have had the all powerful mega powered, 6 foot jumping, Master Chief, and it has been this over powered, shield recharging, no fall damage ( Ok halo CE) character model which the halo franchise has been based around.

However now that ODST is coming around I worry people are going to judge it after these standards, and complain about it in that sense. ODST is more of a Left 4 Dead survival like thing in its fire fight and some of its campaign I would suppose from what i have seen, and you can not take everybody on alone and you will need your friends or allies to back you up. Granted you can still pull a Rambo and rip off a turret and go ape blam on them, but you are far more vulnerable than you ever were.

My only thoughts really to summarize are, I think halo odst is going to be a great game and it has alot of potential if people see it more as a survival action game then a halo game.

What are your thoughts?

All the people who've played some of it have said it definately has a "Halo" feel to it.


Note: If you just read the bold writing you'll see what I mean.

I see what you mean but I feel that the visuals are the only halo part but the gameplay, ( not having played it yet) seems more survival like.

Sorry buddy, it's still a Halo game. If it's build using the Halo IP, with Halo characters, Halo locations, and Halo events, it's a Halo game.

Halo Reach Is Gonna Be Awesome !!!

of course its a halo game have you not seen it? its got brutes, spartan lasers, easter eggs what else do you want from a halo game?

  • 07.25.2009 8:44 AM PDT

It's def. a Halo game. The main character is the only difference. I have yet to play the game but it almost seems that Bungie is beating a dead horse. Do not get me wrong, I love Halo but after Halo: Reach there will be five Halo games. I'd like to see a new series rather than continuing a supposedly "finished" fight.

I think you are all getting me wrong, I'm not denying the fact that it is a halo game made as a halo game but I doubt it PLAYS like a halo game. I mean characters, check, location, check, bungie, check. All that is fine. Even still I am looking forward to it, a lot. I just feel its going to be more L4D. This isn't a bad thing, i actually think its a very interesting take on the halo franchise, and i think ODST could be really really huge. I mean i love horde and firefight looks almost better.

  • 07.25.2009 9:13 AM PDT

I think it will be a great game too, I always liked the games where you have to hide and sneak, and then kill.

Well the ODST will be free roam and the X button will activate ODST view. Those are the only differences. Rest of its Halo.

  • 07.25.2009 9:29 AM PDT

From what I gather it still plays like halo, but it's more like halo CE where chief was less powerful.

ROFL. I've never heard that one before (no sarcasm).

I still kinda see it as a Halo game, but in a different sense - it's an all new story. Same universe but it's still very new.

Halo 3 ODST will be the second best game ever released. (Crackdown is my favorite. Halo 2 is my third favorite.)

Uhm...

Halo Wars
Halo Reach
Halo CE
Halo 2
Halo 3 ODST
Halo 3
Halo DVD Game
Peter Jackson Project
Halo: Chronicles
Halo: DS

Those are just the game. I forget what all they were, but in the past I took a count of every Halo product ever made and it added up to 21.

Yup, Crackdown's my favorite. GTA lets you do just about everything, which gets annoying after a while (I'd rather eliminate gangs than change outfits and drink coffee). I prefer straight-foward games.

It's called VISR idiot! Read the ODST Section thing!

  • 07.25.2009 12:01 PM PDT

The funniest thing about this particular signature is that by the time you realise it doesn't say anything it's to late to stop reading it.

Sounds like it's going to be more like Halo CE than Halo 2 or 3.

Which means my expectations are going to be a little higher than normal.

Thinking of ODST as a Horde mode Halo style makes me want to buy the game as it is.
Let alone the Reach beta.

We understand that, but Halo Reach is still coming out which is a full game. I look forward to ODST, but Reach even more.

Yeah me too, i really would love a new MP at the same standard halo 3 is.

5 years and counting on Bungie. I feel old and worthless.

You just are not a Spartan. More difficult, I would say.

Thank you sir, that was an epic rendition of this topic.

and how!

No. It is a Halo game, you just have to think about what you do more, instead of being a moron and using charging as your only tactic.

It is nothing like Left 4 Dead, [which is a terrible game by the way] it is nothing like Splinter Cell, and it is not a stealth game.

It is Halo, with changes. Don't say it isn't like Halo just because you haven't played it.
