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.
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, 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.

Dam, so many people saying it sucks lol, I know each to their own opinion, it may only be a small game, but it still has so much, in my opinion, remember you aren't a Spartan, it's not a full story, it's the part between Halo 2 and Halo 3 through the eyes of an ODST!

I personally think the game is awesome, I paid £30 for mine, and I love it. Firefight helps alot for newcomers and veterans alike to learn more about using team work and strategy, which can help alot in Halo 3 matchmaking I think. The campaign levels and dialogue are fun. Plus you get 3 brand new maps, not to mention possible future updates, the chance to play a brand new Halo game before it's release next year, and if you're new to Halo 3, there are a total of 13 free maps which would have cost you otherwise.

Did I mention I CAN HAZ RECON now? lol

I like it =(

I sure am glad tha I only paid $30 for this - otherwise it was going back for a refund. Talk about cashing in and milking a product to death. Halo is going the way of Duke Nukem - expploitation of sub par gaming on the franchise name. Unbelievable.

"The best of the best had to be at the bottom at some point."

boo hoo. you dont like a game so you post it on a forum to let everybody look at your rediculous whinning, if its that big of a deal then there is a simple thing you should do...SHUT THE -blam!- UP, QUIT YOUR -blam!- WHINNING AND TELLING US ABOUT YOUR HORRIBLE EXPERIENCE WITH THE GAME, TAKE IT BACK, AND QUIT -blam!- POSTING YOUR "I HATE BUNGIEZZZ THEY MAK3 HORRIBLE GAMEZZ......RECONZ!" BULL-blam!-

  • 09.26.2009 5:27 AM PDT

well.thats very rude.i understand why you dont like the game but why bash all of bungie for it? they cant make a game that EVERYONE likes.it is impossible.personally i think odst is a great game but thats just my opinion.i agree the story line was a bit short but it was all made up for in the action scenes.but you shouldnt stop buying bungie titles because of ONE game you dont like.i hate world war 2 games and said id never buy another call of duty games but i bought modern warfare and i thought it was great.so you cant say youll never buy another bungie game,until its ones completely great and its sold out and you never get the chance to play it.now if you want to omplain,complain,but dont waste our time.

ODST sucks? That is your opinion, you havent said anything about Firefight so I presume you havent played it, I prefere the Campaign to Halo 2 and Halo 3's Campaign but thats my opinion. I think your problem is this, do not take any offence over this but your probably bad at it or you miss the BR or you want a online multi-player like Halo 3, I am sure alot of people would agree with me on this. The reason I like ODST is because:

1) You are limited at what you can do, strength, smaller jumps, no shields etc.
2) You can search around the midnight city after you have completed the game.
3) You have silenced weapons and a big map.
4) You need to be careful, because it is easy to die.
5) New characters.
6) You play in somebody elses shoes all the time.
7) Firefight.

I have only said things about ODST because that is the topic but I can go further:

1) You get Halo 3's map packs, pretend you don't have Legendary and Mythic maps 1 and 2, that would add up to 2200 microsoft points.
2) You get two disks, you wont need the origional Halo 3 anymore if you don't want the campaign.
3) You need ODST to get Recon.
4) You get a Halo Reach Beta.

I too wanted a BR and a longer campaign but this game to me is brilliant.

you did it so quick because your did it 4player...i did it on my own and it took me about 12hours or so and Bungie did say its a average gameplay time of 10hours so i think its all fair and its a brilliant game.

You people really need to start thinking.

Everyone is saying that they spent $60 on a 5 hour campaign, a survival mode and 3 new maps. They don't mention the fact that there is all DLC and the whole multiplayer on the disc.

What people need to think about is the fact that NEW players too Halo can pick up ODST and get a 5 hour campaign, XX(I can't actually be bothered thinking about how many there actually are, 12? Who cares) bonus maps, firefight and spartan multiplayer. Thats what justifies the cost of $60. Just because you already have halo 3 doesn't mean that the cost should be lower. Thats just retarded. Its like buying an icecream, then buying another icecream with sprinkles on top, but then saying you should only have to pay for the sprinkles because you already have an icecream

Analogy Win!
I like it :)

Skillet, Skillet, Skillet..... How sad I feel for you. Completely involved in a game world, oblivious to the world around you, no real skills, incapable of being a productive member of society, complacent in your pathetic virtual half-baked life. I am an avid reader my friend. I am also an Author, and if I had submitted a half-baked idea such as the Halo ODST story to my publisher she would have thrown it in the trash faster than you can lick Bungie's boot after they kicked you in the face. Sorry I upset you. Now don't you think you should call mommy so that she can change your diaper?

No signature found. Click here to change this.

Not worth $60.00? Lets think about this. For 60 dollars you get to play an entirely new Campaign, you have Firefight mode, you have Achievemetns to unlock you Recon in Halo 3, you get the Halo 3 Mythic Disk (which includes double the original maps on the retail disk), and you get the Halo Reach Beta.

The Multiplayer disk alone should be 60.00 dollars. In addition to all aspects of Multiplayer, it includes 40 dollars worth of DLC. I honestly don't see what you're whining about. If you think the game is bad, that's one thing, if you think it's not worth the money, well, that's just being flat out stupid.

Halo 3 is for noobs. Gg NoRe.

I agree with OP.

The Halo games since Halo 2 have gotten worse and worse. That trend continues with ODST.

In no way was it worth 60.00$ Was it marketing? Yes. I was one of the few people who saw that "recon" armor was a main selling point. What do you know, its achievable in Halo 3: ODST.

Halo: ODST's campaign was short, scattered, and it seemed like I was walking through a pitch black city finding crap, over and over again. And the worse part was, it was the same parts of the city! It wasn't even new.

Firefight, what can I say. GoW2 and CoD: WoW have similar stuff so they weren't re-inventing the wheel.

IF this game did not have HALO plastered all over it. It would not sell.

And just watch Bungie keep releasing 3 maps at a time for 10$. What a rip. Bungie Pro (ZOMG) more waste of money.

Also, lets see if Bungie continues to almost force people to buy their new game to allow people to play matchmaking, when we know it is EASY to allow both parties with maps or not to play together.

Halo ODST sucks all the gameplay out of Halo. It basically tries to make you think that killing 5 enemies was so epic when in Halo 3 it was nothing.

There is little to no action in this game. If I would of wanted to walk around cities in the dark I could of picked up a copy of Second Life.

This is all my opinion but I've liked every Halo FPS except for this one. I'm trading mine in ASAP. The devs forgot what the series was all about... going to buy a game that is worth my money. Rip Off.

YAW TRICK YAW!!!

WELL LETS SEE: 1, you played a story with a full party, prob on normal when every one know if u wanna get all the good action, u gotta play it alone. 2: you prob didnt do the side story for the audio files, so missed more stuff there. 3: not a single thing about fire fight. so u go ahead and return your copy, and miss out on reach all /c it was to hard alone and to easy on co-op. lol, noob!

Exactly! I know that when I buy a fighting game, that I want to spend all of my time looking on the ground for a beacon [sarcasm] that's only purpose is to extend the playtime of this dismal title. Why don't other people realize this? I am amazed that there are so many stupid people in this world. No, I take that back. I'm really not so amazed. Wait until all of these kids stop leaching off of their parents, and have to spend their own money on this game. Then they will wake up and realize that games like this are a rip-off. What really aggravated me is that Bungie made me wait so long for the next title and marketed it so well. Then they gave me this. What a joke!

I would rather shoot you in the head. Come into Halo 3 Multiplayer, I will shoot you in the head, and then tea bag your head throughout the game. BTW - I'm not your friend.
