I hope the store you purchased it from doesn't let you return it. That would be a total loling spree for me.


Perhaps he finds a spark of inspiration in the game and
suddenly loves it?

Nobody cares!

That's the whole point of Sandbox. If anything, the stock map isn't meant to be played at all. It's there for the same reason Foundry is there. For Forge... and people have made some pretty amazing things on both maps.

Also, I am a real hardcore Bungie fan. I've played Marathon, Myth, Pathways into Darkness, and currently own all of the Halo games. Including the special edition Halo 2 and Halo 3 Legendary. I also bought the Halo 3 maps previous to buying ODST. But the fact that I now have all of the maps in one place, plus the vastly superior than Halo 3 campaign... and Firefight, makes up for that to me. Yes, I payed for the maps twice. But I can't accept that and the reson for why they did it. Though, I DO think it would have been better to release a $30 version of ODST that came without the Mythic disk. But it wasn't my decision to make.


Exactly, glad we see eye to eye now on Sandbox. It is the most perfect map for forge so far never denied that, but for everything holy please keep it out of Match Making.

As far as you coming into acceptance of basically buying the maps twice is great. I can't nor will try to make you raged about having to have bought the maps twice, as dirty of a trick as it was. The idea of releasing the ODST campaign along with FF for $30 and releasing the maps as DLC would be a far better deal and more reasonable, but as you stated it's not up to us.

Okay,so let me get this straight. Because an idea has been done before... the current execution of said idea is somehow a flaw because it has been a done before. I'm sorry, but that means every single game... every single one in this current generation of consoles, and every generation since the Playstation should be counted as "unoriginal" because it's all been done before. When it comes to games, it' al about how you can change a previous idea. Very rarely does a game come out that sports a new idea. It's all in how well it's executed. If you can't see that, you probably shouldn't be playing games. Especially current generation ones.

It's not flawed, it's not exactly the same, heck most are different in many ways. I'm just saying no matter how many things you do to it, it's a survival game. What happens in every survival game? waves of enemies come that you must defend yourself and it gets progressivly harder. While the same could be said for any genre of games but I believe that would be an over exaggeration, respectively. Each game has it's own storyline and features. Yes I actually agree many games today are complete duplication of another game and those cliche titles don't make it very big. The games that sell though do bring something new something versitle. Sure you can say all FPSs are the same because they all have guns and you shoot enemies. Or all RPGs are the same because you level up, or RTSs because you make an army and strategize. That is just a gross over comparison though because survival modes bring the same thing, the same exact thing every time but with the differences that come with the game.

Maybe it was how you said it. But I simply don't see it that way. And the game is supposed to be a bit more gritty. You're not the robotic Master Chief with his flashy Spartan moves and colerfull space adventure. You're a glorified Marine fighting a war on Earth. The art style is perfect for the game.

Once again apologies on me for not interpreting that more correctly. I was just giving a personal prefrence of not having too many pitch black scenes, which the games can go on with or without. I also understand that the darkness was exactly what Bungie was going for, I was just giving my opinion.

I agree, it's all about style. Personally, I don't like getting very close to my enemies. Which is why I also don't use the shotgun often. I'd rather snipe them from far away. But like I said, dual wielding limits the amount of actions you can perform. I'd rather be able to throw grenades than use a second firearm. And yes, the pistol should b everyone's tool of destruction. lol It's practically the ODST Battle Rifle. As for the "new smg" argument... yeah, it kind of does. Just like adding a scope to the pistol in Halo 1 made it more than just another pistol in a first person shooter video game.

While it does limit action it's also about how much you can put up with. Do you want to have to drop the second weapon to throw a grenade? Do you want to have to pick the weapon back up after a melee or weapon change? Really all about style so we can't argue there. I don't think I would use the automage in MM mutch I didn't use it much in campaign (call me crazy), but I was content to finally see a fast fireing pistol in halo. I still feel like the new smg is Bungie's way of being lazy while still calling it new. Just imagine they placed modifications on all the weapons on Halo 3 and said they added new weapons on Reach.

Honestly, the only time I thought about Halo 3 was when I was thinking about how much better ODST is.

ODST is definitely a "love or hate" game. Personally, I love it. It's my Halo 2. :p

Also, I'd like to say... I respect your opinion far more than the guy who made this thread. At least you can argue in a civil manner. Thank you for that.


Really? Well good for you (in a non hostile way). I kept thinking about How much it was like Halo 3 until the controls and night vision caught up to me lol.

I would also like to thank you for putting up a civil debate and taking the matter lightly. I too respect your opinion and very much expect a rebuttal :).

Bugs in halo reach final game as of 9/2/10

in forge i am trying to make gametypes objectives but all i see is hill markers and flag points. If im trying to make a ctf game variant and i use the capture point and the flag stand and go into custom games. There is always a error saying "map not compatible with gametype" This is not just with ctf but with most other custom game and map variants.
EDIT: this was just a understanding issue that was cleared post-game release

you are so insecure about your self you have to post a thread that you know will start contreversy so a lot of people can right about you. This is the only form of attention you will ever get cause your a good for nothing troll!

Everyone should just stop posting here (I'm going against my better judgement here and posting anyway). If Easy!JM didn't like the game for whatever reason, that's just too bad for him. By posting here you're just feeding his fire (which has grown into a roaring flame by now) and are simply amusing his off sense of humor. He trolls his thread looking for spelling errors and grammar mistakes and then criticizes the poster for their lack of grammar because he's an "Author". Then, he'll proceed to boast about his wife and flat screen T.V. and all the other luxuries he can think of. Hats off to you mate, but if you ask me, marriage is a prude thing of the past and just about everybody I know has at least three flat screens (and I'm a poor Graphic Designer). So, let's get this straight. Just because you're the writer for some no-name community news-paper with slightly above average grammar skills, that doesn't mean you're any better than anyone else here. In fact, I'd say you're a very weak-willed person, full of arrogance and disdain. And I know you're just here to try and give your "good" advice to everybody. What you don't realize is that you're swimming in a sea of fanboys here (myself included)and are trying to stay afloat by insulting their intelligence. You really are better off taking your argument to another community, this one does not seem to suit you well. Now, I've got to get back to work... Thank you, it's been fun. Message me if anyone wants to play some Firefight. GT= my forum tag.


Bravo my friend bravo! I admit that I do agree with Easy!JM for the most part, but the way you have belittled him was very amusing. Besides the other members I have been sparring with yours is the first post to catch my attention. Most of what you said is very true and the usage of that metaphor was just spectacular. There was some instances where you might have gone to an extent unneeded such as referring to his wife as an accessery, mocking his career, or simply using words such as troll or flame for anything but proving a person's simplicity of speech. Besides that I must give you a hand for that post.

Did you know this thread was going to have this many comments?
You better be trolling, I mean there's nothing really wrong
with the game. "Too many shortcuts" doesn't seem to sum up anything about why it's bad, for example, post like you really
mean to say it's bad, like "It's too samey" or "Too Repetitive"
of the halo series. If you could handle halo wars, why don't
you like this? Halo ODST was a different approach to the halo series, but otherwise, Halo Wars wasn't?!? Besides, Wars was a strategy game, I'm not saying that you can't compare them, but if you must, wasn't even developed by Bungie, so how can your list contain Halo wars if you were dissapointed for Bungie?

I myself find it a very enjoyable experience, especially when I'm roaming around new mombasa in the dark with my VISR on, I just love that feeling of solitude and surprise action when you
sneak up on a group of enemies with a beam rifle.

This is it. you HAVE to be trolling.

Even people who didn't like 3 thought this was great.
this IS what we've been waiting for, and Most, if not EVERYONE
enjoyed it.
I enjoy RTS games, I always have and that is why I liked Halo Wars. It received bonus points because it had the Halo characters/weapons/vehicles in it. The only thing I can say that is positive about Halo ODST is that it is based on the Halo universe. Firefight is fun, but repetitive. Halo ODST would be a fine purchase if you did not own Halo 3. Other than that the game sucks.

Maybe shortest answer, but far from the best. I am sure everyone agrees with me on that.

I believe that Bungie did not do a very good job with the story line behind Halo3:ODST but I dont think I will ever get bored with Firefight.I've already beat the Endure Vidmaster six times and I cant get enough!Im almost done collecting all 30 Audio Logs.When I get bored I go and enjoy my recon in the Team Mythic playlist.

Why is it people can not get over how much content actually is in the package that you buy?

There is atleast $30 in Halo 3 maps and multiplayer gameplay that you get with it.

Then you have between $35 and $40 worth of a new campaign and Firefight.

That amount of content warents the $60 price tag since you get it all in one case.

And if they took out the cost for the Halo 3 maps but kept that disk in there, would you feel any less ripped off? I would have gotten all the Halo 3 muliplayer stuff for free while you paid $30 for it. Isnt that unfair?

No what you need to do is talk to Microsoft and see if they wont sell ODST and Firefight seperate from the Halo 3 muliplayer disk. Sold as seperate units your price for ODST goes down to $35 to $40 and the multiplayer stuff is now a straight up $30.

Simple as that.

I was in no way referring to is wife as an accessory. In fact I was merely expressing my views on marriage. I believe that it is an out-dated custom thought up by a bunch of prudes. And as for the use of the word "trolls", I only used it to describe his actions. Alas, I did mock his career... but when you think about it, doesn't he deserve it? I mean, he's not showing much professionalism here, mocking other peoples typing. It's not as if I, a graphic web designer, go from site to site mocking other people's graphics. "Awe, look how crappy the black/blue gradient looks on B.nets background... Haggard!!" *only joking bungie, it's a beautiful background.
