So you're playing as an ODST, the only difference I can see, is they added a cylinder on the front of the SMG and called it a new weapon, you can't throw grenades as far, you can't jump as high. Am I missing something?

Armor Lock isn't overpowered. You just suck at Reach :)

Reach isn't bad, you're just a BK :)

For my gamertag, look up "Ghoulishtie"

No shields, no elites, more strategic battles, freeroam capabilities, firefight, able to hold more grenades, new pistol, no BR, no sword......

It has the word ODST in the name. Thats it.

If you dont like it, dont buy it.

I consider regenerating health that gives you aproximately the same toughness as master chiefs shield, a shield, it's the same gameplay dynamic. More strategic battles? Not from a recent gameplay I saw, looked pretty straightforward to me. Firefight is a shiny name for co-op. The *new* pistol is the pistol from halo 1, and is the only redeeming factor about this game.

New weapons, like you said.
New setting, New story, New Multiplayer Maps, New achievements.

Damned cool intro, a new story, interesting story, cool city, VISR, no dual wielding, differently colored HUD....
Heck, it's HALO 3 Single player EXPANSION! OF COURSE ITS LIKE HALO 3! It's meant to be Halo with some twists!
And almost all gameplay vids we've seen have been on Normal.

Um, there is no regenerating health, and no the pistol isn't the same as the Halo 1 pistol, and firefight is seperate from Co-op, get your facts straight

I'm trying to justify to myself how this game could possibly warrant the cost. This looks like a fan made mod of Halo 3, and it shares the same multiplayer.

The pistol isnt the same. Less damage, scope, higher fire rate.

Firefight isnt the official co-op mode. There is still co-op for the campain. Firefight is a new multiplayer mode that only allows up to 4 players. Not a shiny name for co-op.

Health in ODST:
You have Stamina, which acts like shield, your screen turns red as you take damage and after certain amount of damage, you start losing health which you cannot regenerate but you must find health packs. Stamina seems to be weaker than shields, and there is no meter for it.

Only regret is I didn't play more of it.

If you haven't noticed by now, I'm sort of a jerk.

Well, based on the amount of information we've been given, it's reasonable to consider the game being "a fail at a 'new' game." However, as I said, we haven't been handed the game yet, so we can't judge the game as being a fail just yet. We can however predict, but I believe that a game has the power of changing the mind of a critic who hasn't touched it yet.

/facepalm

It was supposed to be a SINGLE PLAYER EXPANSION right from start, it's a damn prequel to damn Halo 3. It was never meant to be really new game.
It's campaign is standard long (6-10h rather than what it was originally going to be, 3-5h), that's one big reason it's 60$.

(Microsoft is the one who decides price, most likely it would have been 60$ no matter how long it would have been or what it would have bundled on it.)

And wait, did you just say that ODST looks like fan-made mod? I never seen a mod with voice acting or so well made city or anything... (seen good mods but no one comes close to official prequel/expansions, with Oblivion mods as exception)

hey moron, its stamina, already confirmed by bungie, no its not regeneration health, its like a small sheild, after your stamina is gone, your health goes down and you need health packs to regenerate.

So it's a shield lol, but calling it stamina obviously makes it a new *feature*

firefight isnt a shiney new name for co-op, it is a new game mode, plus master cheif didnt have health, and this guy does, and the shields are most likely weaker
