Subject: Campaign is too Short

I'm very dissapointed! The campaign is only 8 missions, it's shorter than halo 3. The missions better be very long with multiple flashbacks. That way, it'll make up for the lack of campaign missions.

so who's side are you on? you're dissapointed, you're reassured.

Couple of things.

1. New Mombasa Nighttime Hub World. Open city, with exploration.

2. It was confirmed in a recent interview that this game is at least as long as Halo 3.

Halo=The best game series EVER!
Bungie=Bungie's so awesome I have no words
Finished Halo: Reach campaign legendary solo!

i think its been said it might be as long as the halo 3 campaign, but not sure. though roaming new mombassa will take a few hours alltogether, it depends on your skill level.

  • 08.15.2009 6:59 AM PDT

1.Arkham Asylum, 2.Mass Effect, 3.Halo CE, 4.Mass Effect 2, 5.Halo 2, 6.Splinter Cell Double Agent, 7.Gears of War 2, 8.Medievil, 9.Oblivion, 10.Crash Team Racing

I hope the unscripted and unlinear parts really take the focus. Better AI, respawning and somewhat random enemies. That way this might be the most replayable Halo.

Maybe Halo3 was 8 hours, but the pipe levels and always the same enemies only gave 1 unique playthrough. 6 hours with Left 4 Dead style randomness could easily be a lot better. You have a reason to carry a Sniper around all the time, a Brute follows instead of letting you escape and you might unexpectably bump to a Grunt driving a Ghost on your 10th playthrough.

It's just a matter of execution for Bungie's part.

This man, this man right here put it so eloquently that I actually cancelled my own 2000+ word long post.
/slow clap for respect

The person who said participating is important, not winning, obviously never won anything.

But it lasts up to 9h, thats like if a game had 2 missions but but it was 20h long, would you be un happy? Its lasts, tahts all i care, and as long there is diversity, im fine.

  • 08.15.2009 7:36 AM PDT

Yes, really

i dont care. new halo stuff. im fine

Uh-oh. Halo 3 was short.
Then again, I've been hearing about the campaign ranging from 5 to 9 hours. I don't know what to think anymore.

Halo 3's Campaign was about 5-6 hours worth (in my playthroughs of the game). Who's to say that ODST's individual missions can't be as long (or even longer) than Halo 3's mission. We can't make a fair judgement (regarding Campaign length) until we actually have the game. We do know, however, that the open world envornment can mean massive replay value.

This thread would have appealed to me more if it was written with crayons.

I broke one of the cords for my X11s because I couldn't get past the final American course in Doritos Crash Course.

It's supposed to be an expansion, I think they probably first thought it would just be a download but after they added firefight felt it would be better to put it on a seperate disk as a standalone, then added the mythic disk to make it better value for money.

You forgot to read up on your ODST befor posting this.

  • 08.15.2009 8:49 AM PDT

What's hot, sexy and purple?

Ayane (and the Wraith :-D)

The city can't be that big if even Bungie said that you can play trough the game in 5 or 6 hours.
It's just an Add-On and not a full game, too.

Actually the campaign is much longer than Halo 3's.

  • 08.15.2009 9:28 AM PDT

ODST is $60! It's not an add on! It's an all new game!

  • 08.15.2009 9:28 AM PDT

Funny thing is people don't make threads complaining like "H3ODST is too long". Woulden't that be strange kids?

Spartans are from Venus and Elites are from Uranus

I wasnt aware you had traveled to the future to learn how long Halo 3 ODST was.

Expecting ODST to be short soley because of how many missions it has is foolish. First off, Halo: Combat Evolved was longer than Halo 2 despite having six less missions. Secondly, ODST wont simply be missions. There will be the time outside of the missions in New Mombosa. And thirdly, Bungie hasn't officially announced how many missions there will be.
