Its hard to imagine such difference in opinons... I thought tthis game fixed all that was wrong w/ Halo3, added what was right about Halo CE/2 & polished it up VERY well w/ some new stuff. I haven't even got to touch FF yet.

The only thing I have to say is...

ODST should have been released standalone for people who didn't want the map pack disc. Simply put, I've paid £40 for £15 of game and £5 worth of maps (since I downloaded all the map packs prior to the release of ODST).

Now, go ahead and say 'THEN Y DID U BUY IT -blam!-' - to which I will simply reply - because I was expecting more from ODST itself. Honestly, 5-6 hours of campaign (with truly awful characters, might I add) and a severely underwhelming Firefight mode is not worth the money I've just handed Bungie.

So clearly, a disc for £20, £25 at the most, with only the ODST campaign and Firefight on it should have been released, and the new Halo maps could have been been distributed via marketplace and via the full content disc we get with ODST.

Don't get me wrong, I love the game, and it looks truly stunning but... I can't help but feel slightly cheated.


I know that feeling and I hate that feeling with passion. I fell cheated when I got console banned on h 3 which also bans me froom ODST. It just feels like I wasted money cause I cant play anymore.

This is an incredible step forward to being able to cure Downss sybndonre mn humans bineg.s

I, personally, love this game. The free-roaming Mombassa night scene isn't massive, but it's fairly large for such a small scale game, and the internal side story made me kept wanting to explore it more, and hunt down more of those audio logs (I'm up to 19...). The gameplay is really fun. It's like Halo 3, but with a much more tactical style, and as a Marine, you always feel vulnerable, but as long as you keep your Automag holstered to a plasma pistol and a couple of grenades, you can take practically any enemy down. The flashbacks are much more like classic Halo, but the downside was, because of the free-roaming city, I didn't feel inclined to explore the areas like I did in old Halo missions (Ironically, my favourite missions to explore were Metropolis and Outskirts...), but the whole time I was having fun. And when playing through on Legendary, it felt so satisfying when I would take down a massive brute pack, for the most, by myself. And, of course, Firefight. I could play that for hours on end. And I have. And I intend on doing so many many times into the future.

Saying a good deal depends on the buyer
If you bought all of the other map packs and not a core halo fan it will look like a bad deal

if you didn't buy all of the map packs it is a great deal even if your not a halo fan

if your a halo/bungie fan (why you are on the forums usually)you will like this game no matter what. considering the map packs all together (excluding the new mythic you cant buy) comes out to $22.50 if you add the new map pack it would be $30, also another $30 is the equivalent for the odst campaign/firefight.

if ever you can buy odst by its self and the complete multiplayer experiance by itself, it would be a GREAT deal for $30 each

I like the game but it is nearly impossible to get recon i've got all the vidmaster achievements except for Endure, which is impossible to finish. Me and my friends got up to set 4, round 1, wave 3, then one of my friends lagged out, for the second time doing this achievement, there goes four hour of firefight gameplay for nothing, not even any stats. The only thing bad about ODSt is the lag when playing co-op. It is a decent game but it gets frastrating when someone lags out twice, it like bungie does it on purpose.


It took you four hours? I just did a 90 minute game and almost got it. Set 4 Wave 4 Round 3.

To the OP:
Now, I fully respect your opinion and everything, but it was kinda dumb for you to post here. First, everyone here is a fanboy or a Uber fanboy, so they will call foul and flame back. Second, I'm sure there is some part of the game that you liked, but now, these kids will most likely continue to flame, so there will be no reasoning involved. So, once again, it was dumb for you to post here without expecting some flaming, but I respect your opinion. (BTW: Halo: ODST, in my opinion, was worth every penny)

You suck!

-blam!- you!
Wow what a wonderful expression. I know you must have put a lot of thought into that. Mommy and Daddy must be so proud of you. Update: I have played Firefight now for about 5 hours or so. Topped 100K points before they finally got me on Normal setting. I enjoyed it. However, was the disk worth $60.00? For me the answer is "No". Especially considering that I have already purchased all of the other Halo 3 map packs. For those of you that think I am a PS3 fanboy, then you are just idiots. I have played over 3 thousand games on this ID alone, not to mention my other ids. In fact I have burned through 3 Halo 3 disks. I am playing my Legendary copy now - the one that came with a Helmet. Actually Halo 3 was my first introduction into the Halo Universe. After playing it I went and purchased Halo 1 and 2. I will play the Beta for Reach before I decide to purchase anymore Bungie games. I am still very disappointed by ODST. As for those of you that think I am a troll, noob, or whatever else your pee-sized brains can dream up. The fact of the matter is that I work for a huge company, and was an international consultant for several years. Now I am also an author, and I am working on my third book. My question is what have you done with your lives? My guess is that you work a blue-collar job, beat your wives, get drunk on the weekend or sleep in your parents basements because you are too lazy or too stupid to get a real job.


Dude, most of us are -blam!- 17 or 19 years olds. And A couple (million) 9 years olds. Wtf are you smoking? I doubt you do (I don't) but from what I can see, you need to loosen up and we really don't have to listen to your bull-blam!- biography.

Some of the people have some posts that are a wall of text... Trying to read while playing Firefight. Shorten your posts down so i dont die so much.

let me guess y, you didnt like how bungie switched from run and gun to take cover and shoot when the're reloading. it took me some adjusting to get used to sneaking around as an ODST, in fact i got mad at first like you did, but my love of stealth games and assassins creed kicked in, and now i think ODST is a great game.

if you like run and gun, dont just fret over how ODST is not the traditional Halo style, and especially stop being a fan of bungie. if a restraunt makes a bad dish, dont get mad and never come back, try another entree, and then judge the restraunts quality.


have a good one

I am a pharmaceutical scientist. I received my Masters degree in Pharmaceutics from the University of the Sciences in Philadelphia in 2010, after working as a Pharmacist for 4 years. I currently work in King of Prussia, PA, and focus on the analytical chemistry of small molecule APIs. My clients include some of the most well known big pharma companies in the world.

Just do what I do. Go into a game expecting nothing and then find out about everything it has to offer and judge it for what it's worth. You get more for your money with ODST than you do with most games, and I beg anyone to prove me otherwise.

The problem is that the first thing most people do is find out how they can compare ODST to H3, when it's really meant to be viewed as two completely separate entities that are only connected loosely via storyline.

What I have noticed is that people who started their Halo experience playing Halo 3 multiplayer, or even in extremely rare cases, Halo 2 multiplayer, do not like this game.

Basically they are just multiplayer fanboys who can't handle different mechanics or feeling like a noob.

I'd confidently say that the majority of those of us who started out with Halo CE back when it first came out appreciate ODST for what it is.

Personally, I bought ODST for ODST. I doubt I'll even use the second disk at all.
Exactly this.

  • 09.23.2009 6:48 PM PDT

alright... everyone STOP yer -blam-ing, this game can be bad or good, it's a matter of opinion, there isn't a single reason why it sucks or rules that you can ad that hasn't been said so you might as well let the issue die, and all those that think the game sucks can return the game and that wont bother me, it doesn't even affect me,

so in conclusion, STOP YA -BLAM-ING

Moderators are people too. Not like he's gonna get banned for just insulting them. They have rules. Get off your high horse.

93% of statistics are lies. Formerly Xfire Grunt. Unfortunately, you can't change the WLID for your BNET account, so I had to create an alternate account. My other WLID was spam city (and it was my e-mail account too).

I disagree. I think ODST resembles Halo:CE. I've only played two or three missions in CE, but the feel of the hunters resembles CE. I actually just ran from a group of hunters in ODST. In CE it was similar. In Halo 3, the hunters were pushovers. In Halo 2 they were moderately difficult. Of course I've only played Halo:CE for two to three hours at a friends house so I can not comment.

I also think MP fans can realize like I did that ODST is very cheap if you trade in your copy of Halo 3, which you wouldn't want anyways as an MP fan.

I won't buy another one of your titles.


Yes you will. When reach comes out you will be at the midnight release.

Also, how can you love Halo Wars and not like ODST? Im confused on how you absolutely love all the other halo games, except this one. I could see you getting a little dissapointed, or not thinking its worth $60, but how can you love all the previous games and absolutley despise ODST, which is pretty much the same thing as the last games.

Your linked GT has no record of you ever playing ODST. So you probably played it on another account. Smart move on your part, because then we wouldnt be able to see you playing ODST next week.

On another note, I know for a fact that you wont be turning ODST back to gamestop. Your profile says youve played over 3000 -blam!- games of Halo 3, which as you stated in your first post you absolutely -blam!- love. And I seriously doubt that you will give up three brand new maps that may or may not come to the marketplace.

Just bought my pre-ordered copy of ODST tonight. Picked it up at 12:22 am and quickly drove it home to play. Already had friends lined up to do 4 player co-op. $60.00 for 3 new multiplayer maps that will be free in another 2 months, and a 5 hour campaign... That doesn't sound good I thought, but then this is Halo and we have all of the previous titles and loved each one. That list includes Halo Wars... Therefore I thought that this one has to be good. Long story short, the 4 of us all agreed that this is a terrible game which is chock full of shortcuts and unpolished hogwash. I plan to take my copy back to the store when it opens for my money back! Bungie - This is not worth $60.00 - not even close. This is a crappy game and that is coming from a Halo-fanboy. You guys lost a customer tonight. I won't buy another one of your titles. I am extremely disappointed by this game.


lol, i dont think the game is worth 60. I mean 50 and i wouldnt complain, but i mean, the game is still fun as hell, and im pretty sure it wont wear out for another few months.

WHo cares what anyone else says about the game. As long as those who are having fun like it, it's all that matters.
