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

Price doesn't change anything. It's not a full game. However I'll agree that it's not an add on either. It's a standalone expansion.

Buckle Up: It's makes it harder for the Covenant to suck you up.

Dude, you get to free roam, and do whatever flashback you want to. You don't have to do the Dutch one first. Plus, Flashbacks aren't the only mission probably. Were most likely going to have to do some stuff in the free roam, besides finding the flashback locations.

None of us will know exactly how long it is, we just have to guess from what they say, they're probably improving it and making it longer as we speak (or maybe they already have).

The game is as long as it takes you to finish it.

Where q(p) is the quality of the thread as a function of p posts, (qi) is the inital quality of the first post, p is the amount of posts and r is the e-peen of the original poster.

I don't get the people saying the campaign will be long. According to people from the 360 inner circle on Xbox.com, that have played the game, it took them 4 hours to complete. 4 hours does not constitute a long campaign to me.

Maybe just maybe 10hours if you rush it, which you shouldn't.
I guess 24hours if you explore every last corner of this city while playing 4player multiplayer.

Loose talk is noose talk.

I had no idea your brother/father/sister worked for Bungie. Tell me, did you already play the game?

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.

That must be a pulled out of your ass guess then... According to the 7th post down this page, the story is 4 hours. According to another post closer to the bottom of the page from the same guy it took him 4 hours while chatting with friends, so I'd say 4 hours at a leisure pace.

I'd rather believe someone that has played the game, and said how long it took him to beat it, then someone who is trying to sell as many copies of the game as possible.

I'd love to be a 10 year old and tell my mom I'm going on an adventure out into the world catching Pokemon, with her full support. Never mind the fact that there are rapists, criminals, and murders out there, or the fact that I may get killed by a Pokemon.

Luckily I have Pikachu.

Ironic since Halo 3 has an even shorter campaign than the previous two games.

Okay. Because Bungie totally allowed random people to play the game. Nobody outside of Bungie has been able to play the entire Campaign.

I linked to a thread on Xbox.com... if you don't believe that the poster has played it, as I did at first, why not compare games with him? You will discover the amusing fact that he has 1000 GS for ODST, and so has likely played it.

Dont get too wrapped up in the Internet. It's already forgotten about you.

If the enemies re-spawn in the open world, this is going to be the best Halo experience ever.
Combine that with Firefight and the new maps... Hot damn is all I can say.

How on earth is it not a full game? Please, elaborate.

-Campaign as long as any other Halo game plus 4 player co-op
-Fire fight mode plus 4 player co op
-Halo 3 multiplayer plus all DLC map packs plus 3 new maps
-Invitation to Halo Reach Xbox LIVE Multiplayer Beta

That's more content than many other games released these days. So please, tell us, how does all of that content not equate to a full game?

Has anyone confirmed that it is only 8 missions? Maybe you meet up with the squad and play a few missions with your squad.

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.

3. On disc one they could only fit the Campaign and Firefight on it, so it must be pretty big.

  • 08.15.2009 10:40 PM PDT

---You Were Killed By Toe Fungus---

Please correct me if i'm wrong, but i believe the 8 missions are only the flashbacks then after that the rookie's timeline links up with the flashbacks to unravel what really happends after the drop of the ODSTs

( I think I heard a bungie member at one of the interviews mention this)

You realize that that poster more than likely modded his account to make it appear that he has played ODST? You can mod your account to say that you have played certain games, and give yourself 100% of the available achievements for that game.

I don't believe the poster, as you shouldn't either.

Dude ODST is open world, you can do missions any time you want, truthfully the game is uending, if you never finish all them missions.

Hmm.... I wonder if the enemies respawn?

They said in a podcast random enemies will appear in the hub world, respawning.

  • 08.15.2009 11:02 PM PDT

Don't forget there is a large, open world environment in-between each level, so you could add +2 more levels.

I smell a troll. He is one of many that has modded the achievements.
