does anyone know if it is just the ODST part, i.e. campaign and firefight, or also Halo multiplayer? Remember the game comes with 2 discs and I havent heard of a specific ODST multiplayer, besides firefight, just the Halo 3 multiplayer disc.

I myself and glad it isnt in the game. So much more varied gameplay now!

When I first saw this thread I thought "Oh God, not another 'Why isn't there a BR?!' thread" but it was a great surprise to see it was exactly the oppisite.

Personally, I could care less about the BR missing when I've got Firefight, a great pistol, a silenced SMG, the entire city of New Mombassa to explore, and an entire different story to look forward to.

Anyone who's bogged down by one missing weapon is either just trying to annoy people, or is such a huge pessimist that they can't see all the great things this game has to offer.

However, I must admit that the "Omg wherez the BR" people aren't half as annoying as the "OMGWTF y arnt there Elitez to kill!?1??11!" people.

Amen to that.
I mean the BR was OK, but seriously, get over it people...

It will still be in matchmaking. So for all of the "I hate the BR" people, they either have to stay in Firefight or campaign, or they will be killed by the BR again, cause it isn't going away.

And so there was a man who ate cake.

And he was happy it was that way.

The only multiplayer for ODST is the 2-4 person campaign co-op and Firefight. The second disk downloads all the maps and allows you to play Halo 3 Multiplayer (only the multiplayer).

The BR will be included with the Halo 3 multiplayer on the second disk.

Maybe you're fine with it, but there are plenty of people out there who hate the fact that the BR is not included in ODST. Check around the Forum and I'm certain you'll come across a thread about there not being a BR.

PS I'm not one of those poeple.

From what i remember, there is still a carbine. I thought i saw one in a Trailer. But nonetheless, who cares? Silenced SMG and Pistol FTW

Yep, the Carbine's still there and it's pretty much a BR if you know how to use it; I've seen it beat the BR many a time.

.P.S: Silenced SMG and Pistol FTW!

Who really cares that the BR isnt in it? The gameplay is supposed to be significantly different.. I mean, why else would the introduce a silenced SMG? Getting rid of the BR is the fastest and easiest way to change the way the game plays from medium/ long range, to close/ medium range.
I cant wait!

  • 07.27.2009 7:51 PM PDT

People like to complain. If it's not the BR, it will be something else. If Bungie took out the BR comepletely in MM, and people start using the Carbine as the new BR, people will start complaining about that too. I love the BR, but I have no problem that it's not in the campaign. But my point still stands. If it isn't the BR, it will be something else to complain about.

Agreed.

From the looks of it, ODST's going to challenge people to be a bit more careful since you don't have shields at all, and if you get out of that fight with low health, you're going to have to dodge those patrols to find some Medi-Gel and that's going to make alot of people plan out their attacks a bit more carefully.

Maybe it's only me, but the BR would probably make it easy to stand back from a distance picking them off, and where's the fun in that?

So wonderfully true.

I don't know about everyone else, but I'm afraid of heights and I still think dropping from those pods would be great.

Because ODST is just campaign and Firefight, so who cares if its been taken out. Automag seems like it will take over the role very nicely.

Although I would liked to have seen Bungie overhaul the BR for ODST like they did the SMG, I don't mind.

That is very true Dragn, it's an awful world, fighting over the slightest of mistakes. And even when there isn't one, people think it can be better, when in reality, it would totally screw up the balancing. Like keeping the BR would make the SMG like the ginger of the family, Beaten, and forgotten.

It's alright. I just don't see the point in complaining that there is no BR or the people who want to get rid of the BR and want to replace it with the Carbine. Like you said, the Carbine is essentially a BR. If the BR is gone, it will be replaced by the Carbine. Then people will complain and want that gone too. In truth, it will be a vicious cycle. The people who want the BR removed and replaced with a Carbine are being hypocritical, they are essentially the same thing.

I suppose it's human nature to find flaws in such simple things as this. Finding flaws is helpful because it allows people to find solutions to problems, but mindless bickering over a weapon is beyond stupidity and eventually causes everything to decay.

Couldn't have agreed more Dragn.

Bit of a late review but it is certainly worth one.

Some of you guys really whine and cry a lot don't you? As long as I can get a BR in matchmaking, it's perfectly alright. Who cares if a BR isn't in firefight or ODST's campaign. Whoopde do! We can't dual wield either as ODSTs or jump as high but it is ok. It's against computer AI and besides we get 2 new weapons we can mess around with. Don't get me wrong, I love my BR but I can make do without it easily against AI opponents.
