Yeah, I agree with you. I tried it first on Heroic, And then passed the game looking for cool stuff, I found some easter eggs in when you are dropping and in the city, where the armory cache of ammo are. and yeah, its hard to pass it on legendary(I think its more hard the campaign than in Halo3
because you do not have the motion sensor and no shields.

Challenge yourself and do not think because of playing it on easy is a huge Ripp-off, And remember about FireFight.

I agree. Halo 3 ODST sucks. The campaign is fun but not long. I already own all the multiplayer maps when they cost money, so its a rip off. Firefight is boring. The best part is Halo3!

firefight alone is worth the price tag odst commands. at release it's about 1/3 cheaper than any other new release cough*cod6*cough.

i'd have happily paied full price just for firefight.

-blam!- you. Call of Duty is 5 times better than ANYTHING Bungie could pull off. I have yet to play the game for a decent amount of time but from what I've heard, ODST is a truly -blam!- game.

did you take into consideration from what you read that the only people talking about ODST on bungie.net are the people who dont like it, the majority of the people who have it are playing it, not talkign about it.
and also, IMO cod6 will be a BIG letdown, from the MP gameplay, everything seems stupidly overpowered, same as cod4, they made lmgs stronger, added in loads of killstreak rewards which will let you decimate the other team in seconds... its the campers who will rule cod6

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.

QFT.

it's rare that i agree with any post 100% on bungie.net, but i even agree with the punctuation in yours.

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.



1. you didnt mention Firefight
2. you are stupid
3. They made the game to show what happened between halo 2 and 3 plus (SPOILER) the lengendary cutscene completes the gap
4.You obviously have enough time in your already pathetic life to write this.

Basically, all the things you don't like about it was all the stuff Bungie told you beforehand. It wasn't like any of that was a big surprise. Bungie told us that we were going to be weaker than a Spartan, Bungie told us that it was going to be dark and lonely (Remember the Demo at E3? That also showed the "Annoying outline" on everything), Bungie told us it was a short campaign, and the AI is a whole lot smarter than Halo 3. All of that was told to you months before the launch, and you still pre-ordered it.

I just wana compare Halo 3 to ODST side by side in terms of the new things they brought to the table.

Halo 3 ..................................... Halo 3: ODST
Campaign ....................... (IMO better) Campaign
11 free maps ................ 3-12 additional free maps
Forge .......................................... Firefight
...................................Everything else Halo 3 Contains

IMO, Halo 3: ODST is worth the 60 bucks.

actuelly if you think of it there's 4 map packs in disc 2 that are dlc, one is free but others cost which helps make up retail price and sure you might already have them but now you have two lots.

and why would they be free later? the maps may be dlc that COSTS later but not free.

Also the disc 1 is retail price for me, i enjoyed it and it allows you to get recon so just look at things this way.


I would guarantee that the 3 poorly designed maps will be free at some point in the future on xbox live. Go ahead and mouth off like the half-wits that I know most of you to be, but they will be free. Mark my words. Bungie has done that in the past and they will do it again. That never bothered me in the past, because I am such a Halo 3 fan, but it did with ODST. As I was forced to buy all of the maps again. For those of you that say, but Bungie saved me space on my Xbox hard drive... You are joking right?

Let me give you a pointer you wont get your money back because the game is already open. Next time just rent the game before you buy it.
Yes that is their (GameStop) official policy if you don't ask about it, and discuss things with them. You would know that, but you're probably some 16 year old geeky jellyfish of a kid that doesn't have any real balls except to mouth off on a Bungie Forum. Thanks for playing.

If you don't like it, don't complain for everyone to see it. Go ahead and return your game, but posting on here was a waste of time and is gunna piss a lot of ppl off.


Once again for all you folks that don't, can't, or won't read the previous posts. I posted on here for a couple of reasons. 1. To try and save people money on this horrible game. 2. To make Bungie aware of how disappointed I was in the game. Since I don't live by Bungie, and couldn't find any other venue this seemed my most direct route. As far as upsetting people, I couldn't care less. I realize now that most of the folks on this forum are whiney, snot nosed little imbeciles that are only spending their parents money so my point #1 was a waste of time. However point #2 worked out well. Point #3 - I have received much more enjoyment from reading these posts than playing ODST. Thank you.

Just one thing to say that haters don't die they multiply. And who gives a -blam-! if someone dose not like the game. if they dont then just return it and leave the rest of us at peace.
No one asked you to come on here and read anything or post. Has someone interrupted your peace? Stay in school kid. BTW - Those of you that thought mine was an isolated opinion... do some digging on the web. Halo ODST has not been as well received as the other Bungie titles.

Your first problem was playing ODST on co-op off the bat. Think about the setting. Dark, and lonely detective noir... Playing it on co-op bungles that.

And yes, in theory, you CAN beat the game in five hours, but then you'd be doing yourself and the game a disservice. Look for things, savor your surroundings, the features, and the battles.

Put the game on Legendary, or even Heroic, ALONE. You can't go in fresh, like you should have the first time, but that's because you're a moron.

By the way, of all of the Halo 3 maps to come to DLC, only the Heroic maps are free, after a struggle with Microsoft, WHO has a stron reputation for not liking to give out DLC for free (ask Valve). And the Cold Storage map, which was fanfare, for Bungie day. So no, those new maps wont be free.


TheUselessOne calling me a moron. LOL... Why would playing this game on co-op make me a moron? Doesn't the game provide a co-op mode? Are there instructions on the box that warn against using the game in co-op? Did I get an alert onscreen when I selected co-op that warned "Do not use in co-op mode unless you are a moron!"? Mommy and Daddy didn't love you enough did they?

I hear what your saying but i'm constipated, couldn't give a s**t.

i think that firefight is awesome and much better than horde. its a great storyline in the campaign. it may be short but do it solo legendary before u say its too short and hate it. its meant to be played solo. and if you have not purchased the maps yet then i find this a good deal to buy

Did Bungie tell us that this character wouldn't be able to dual wield? Did Bungie tell us that the character would be Psychic? Firefight is fun. I played it after my initial post and it was indeed fun for about 2 hours. How does the rookie see everything that his squad mates have been through unless he's psychic. Hogwash - pure hogwash.

Yes, they did tell us that he wouldn't be able to dual wield. Why? Because he's an ordinary human. Get a pair of SMGs and see if you can hit accurately hit a side of a barn, let alone a little target like a Grunt or Jackal.

And they also told us about the Flashbacks, sure it doesn't really make sense, but it was made in that way to make it semi-linear. It was made that way to make game play more fun.

Yes, I believe Bungie did say that the ODSTs don't dual wield. They were taking it back to Halo's roots. Which, obviously you wouldn't remember considering all likely evidence points to you only playing Halo 3.

Also, where the hell did you get the idea that the Rookie is psychic? He doesn't see what the other team members did during their missions. The whole point of the Rookie is that he's trying to FIND his squad. He's searching New Mombasa for clues about their location. Obviously finding a sniper rifle means that Romeo was probably in the area. Or close to it. Seeing the burned Oni Alpha Site makes him realize that something big happened there. He searches Mombasa for clues until he hears Dare on the comm. Then he heads for the Data Hive.

The Rookie isn't psychic. He doesn't see those flashbacks, YOU DO. It lets YOU put the pieces together by giving YOU the story of what happened through the squad's eyes.

Good lord. And you have the nerve to call everybody else stupid for disagreeing with you?

Go read a damn book. Get that IQ up a bit and you might actually be a respectable addition to a forum. I doubt it, but I believe in miracles.

No matter what you do, stop being a damn troll and let it go.
