I'm not a huge fanboy of Bungie, but I think youre wrong OP.

The Campaign was good because it was different. It was more tactical because you're not a Spartan and thus have to think and play slightly differently. The campaign was a little jumbled and the Mombassa-treking gets boring if you're solo, but I do like the characters, the meta-story with Sadie, and the overall mechanics and gameplay.

Firefight is awesome. No one should diss it. Does it get repetitive? A bit. But its a lot of fun with the right people beside you.

As for the map packs, I didn't get the Mythic map pack the first time around because I waited for ODST, which would have all of them. And if you didn't notice, there are Mythic Disk specific playlists in MM. Just something to think about.

So I gotta disagree with your assessment of ODST. I just think you didn't give it enough of a chance. But if you bought all the maps before and hated Firefight, then yeah, ODST isn't for you.

But as for you claiming to never get another Bungie game after how "bad" ODST was... well, you clearly bought Halo 3 after the suck-fest that was Halo 2, so I'm betting you'll play Halo Reach when the game comes out.

I just realized how awesome wrecking the enemy team with a Focus Rifle from atop the Spire is. It's magical. It's like Concussion Rifle vs Sword/Shotgun.

Alright this thread has grown enough bungie had stated any thread about complaining about halo 3 odst will be locked they have already made a complain thread for all the trolls out there so kindly leave before you make people mad
PS: Im sick of these trolls you think the population of the community wants to hear you whine no we dont bye

I partly agree, and partly don't. I see where you go right when you state that the campaign is only 5 hours, even on Legendary. But the 3 maps won't be free, they'll be like 800 microsoft points. But I find it fun just because trying to get the acheivements with my friends creates fun memories.

Nothing is better than gaming through the day, into the night, then back into the day. It's like when you finally push that power button you feel like you've accomplished nothing, but at the same time, you can't stop smiling.

I won't buy another one of your titles.


Let's see you say that when Reach comes out.

  • 09.28.2009 5:31 PM PDT

I will be there to answer your questions! No matter how obvious or stupid they may be, don't be afraid to ask. It'll pay off in the long haul.

you'll buy the new game, if you really did go get it at midnight, and are a halo fanboy you'll get it.

I love how people think Firefight is a rip off of Horde mode when Bungie had a survival type mode years ago in Marathon.


^^this.
Seems even all the big names that reviewed it omitted this fact as well..


And before that, Mechassault for the original Xbox had a co-op survival mode. Many games had them before Gears 2, but for some reason Gears 2 got famous for it even though Gears 2 isn't that great a game otherwise.

There once was an ugly barnacle. He was so ugly that everyone died.

The end.

I respect the opinion of people who don't like ODST but surely it doesn't suck.
I thoroughly enjoyed the single player campaign on Heroic solo and will definitely play through again on legendary with friends. Many games simply offer a campaign along with some tacked on multiplayer and call it quits. ODST is a pretty nice package.

I never bought the mythic maps so I feel that was an added value for me personally. And I think firefight is pretty awesome (even without matchmaking which really would have made it truly great).

Overall ODST is not an orange box deal but it's definitely not a rip off.

Bungie: Omigosh guys, we just lost a customer! Quick! Patch the game!

By the way you haven't even gotten one achievement, NOT EVEN HEAL UP, and yet you are dissing the game...wow. Play the campaign!

For all of you that saw the post that was previously here, I formally apologize. I realize the error of my ways and that suicide shouldn't be joked about or suggested upon others. So again I apologize. I think we can all learn something from this thread. Also to the OP I am sorry, I got all excited in my childish anger and shouldn't have been immature about the situation, you are entitled to your opinion and I should have respected that.
That's ok, Coolnate11 - I know kids pick on you at school and that you have no self respect. Don't worry, I will never commit suicide. I have no self-esteem problems or suicidal thoughts.

Shortcuts are only there if you take them, its your choice, your game, noone is racing you too the finish.

And where is the unpolishedness in ODST?

[quote]Posted by: Xolu

Visor on the playable character in the campaign that obscures your vision.
Dark (entirely too dark) levels in the campaign.
Short campaign - about 5 hours on Legendary.
The ODST character dies about every 4 seconds when an enemy looks at him funny.
The AI enemy characters are consistently stupid, oftentimes running into walls while driving vehicles.
Night vision on your goggles puts an annoying outline on everything. This I believe is an attempt to hide the fact that Bungie did nothing to improve the graphics in this game over Halo 3. Additionally they didn't do enough work on the design of enemies. Everything either looks too dark, or has an outline with the middle completely dark, or is ultra shiny. The Supervisor guy is hard to navigate while in menus and I found myself stuck more than a couple of times, just trying to get my visor to be clear again. Shall I add more?

You sir, fail. Not cause you dislike halo odst, but because you say everyone is being immature when you were the first to call the people who disagreed with you 'ass lickers of bungie'. Then you try to justify yourself as better then everyone else because you think you are the bigger man in this situation. Let me tell you, on the interenet, you are no bigger then any one else. Especially on this forum, so stop trying to talk down to people and stop wasting my time.

You hate the game? Good, go outside and excersice with that as an excuse. Don't sit in front of your comp and constantly post about it hoping you are making a difference, cause you are not. As to your list of ODST problems, let me re-align some facts for you.

The visor is for night vision, if it is obscuring your vision, yoiu are using it in a too bright area.

The darkness games adds to the mystery/ alone/ trying to survive feel to the game increasing its potential.

Don't forget, your not a spartan in this game, no juping off rocks in broad day light killing everything easily. This is a semi-stealthy game.

If the AI is so stupid then they shouln't be killing you, your statements contradict themselfs. Troll perhaps?

The outline is for finding things like clues,weapons, audio files. The enigne is halo 3, but the artists worked hard in making the game so beautiful to free roam in.

Its night time, unless you can see clearly at night then you have no ground in this department.

Hit 'up' on the D-pad for a nav marker, it is not that hard. The Super drops the nav for easy finding.

You do not need to add more, you are just wasting everyones times filling the viod with petty arguments. The game was worth every cent, an entire disk dedicated to multiplayer so that you do not need the maps on your xbox is full of win. The short campaign added with the audio file story is just beautiful and wraps with the campaign nicely. Fire fight is not 'horde' mode in gears because in gears you camped in one corner and would win as long as you sprayed enough bullets at it. Fire fights requires, believe it or not, thinkin. Working with your team so that everyone does their part is a sign of a great game.

I could list more but I wann go outside. Sorry for the wall folks.
"You sir, fail." and "is full of win". You must be under 20 years old.

Your responces are not helping your cause. I dont think anybody should insult you because you dont like the game. Heck I see faults in it. But at the same time it doesnt give you the right to throw insults at the rest of us.

If the game has bothered you so much then please return it. Get store credit or something. There isnt any point to you keeping it. And in that case just leave this section of Bungie.net. You dont like being here then dont be here simple as that.

Forcing your opinion on people wont get you anywhere, same goes for the rest of you. If you love the game great, but let people think what they want to think about it.
