Alright this is STUPID now forget this bungie member please LOCK THIS THREAD i went in your complain thread and you said that you will be locking further bashing threads!!!! end this trolls reign before he reaches world domination before you do this is madness!!!! Oh stupid pathetic thread WHY!


Many of you have wondered why this thread hasn't been locked yet. Oh why, oh why is this thread still open???..... Well since you won't be able to figure it out on your own. Let me tell you. I work for Bungie and I want to thank all of you for helping us promote our last game. With all of your posts we were able to get this thread ranked Number 1 on Google. That action overpowered any of the other "real" ODST bashing threads and increased the traffic to our site dramatically. The team here wants to pass on their thanks for being such true fans of Bungie! Thank you again, and keep posted about the excitement that we are sure REACH will generate. The moral of the story is that you never know who you may run into on the Bungie forums. Enjoy ODST.

fo shozle? good we're better off without you anyway.

"Bungiez yoou lost eh fan" Seriously, you act as if you're so important, Bungie cares for the fans. but if you're acting like this then you're obviously not a devoted fan.

p.s. devoted doesnt mean you cant like it, but you respect them, and see where they succeeded

Iam enjoying Halo Reach and revisiting some past Bungie games, iam a big fan of Bungie and their online community.

There are a few disapointments i might agree with that, but overall the game has satisfied me and i think your critisism is a bit to harsh the campaign was a good ammount of playing time, Firefights fantastic and Mombassa streets is also pretty cool.

The only thing I would complain about is the price but i got mine for £30 anyway so overall it was worth it for me.

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


Aye. Tis' fail.

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.

I don't thinki he was trying to convince people he was a Bungie employee, I think he was just making a point...

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?


We did found a door about halfway down one of the off shoot hallways that we probably were not supposed to even go down during the Data Hive mission that had this weird effect that warped the colors on the screen. That and also we had a section where the AI just died in the part right after Data Hive when you re-unite with the squad. Virgil just stayed in the place he spawned and wouldn't move.

Don't ask about the name-- it's a long story

The new Mythic maps won't be free in 2 months. Even the Legendary maps aren't free.

Once somebody told me that they were playing H:CE and they were watching an grunt for a really long time and then it turned into an elite.

ODST WAS -blam!- AWESOME!! but it didnt make me cry :)

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.


Now thats funny. Me and my four friends thought it was the best Halo experience since Halo 1.

oi tonytck or wateva, 30 pounds in ur country is about 60 bucks here mate


i believe £30 is more than $60, unless your economy really has gone down the -blam!-er more than i thought....

let's go check that... £30 = 48 USD wow, what has gone on over there?

The game sells for £35 most places which converts to $57.12 so it about the same price, and lets face gobal economy sucks at the moment. Oh and we get hammered for Tax to.


Meh. Over here in Australia we get slugged for $120 a game, that converts (roughly) to about $95US. Sadface.

I make a legitimate thread on the most logical choice for the next Bond actor, and you take that away from me by creating a parody thread indirectly connecting my thread to yours.

I hope your kids have bad influences and develop bad personalities. I wish this with all my heart.

*Sigh* I'm getting kinda sick of these threads, and of explaining this. Is there a rule against copying and pasting your own posts? Oh well, here goes:

Look, I'm not a Bungie fanboy; I enjoy Halo, but that's it.

When I heard about being able to play as an ODST, instead of a Spartan, I thought Bungie had lost their minds. There goes the series.

When Microsoft raised the price from $40 to $60 dollars, I was enraged, and actually tried to convince everyone around me what absolute crap this was going to be.

As time went on, and more and more was revealed, I finally realized that this was still the Halo I knew and loved. I saw clips of the new weapons. I saw firefight. I heard snippets of the OST. As time went on, I became almost as excited as I did for Halo 3.

So I pre-ordered it. Yeah, that's about it. I had school, so I couldn't think about it too much.

When I got the game, I was very excited. I played through the campaign and was awed. I did not feel let down in the least bit, and actually felt more satisfied than I did in Halo 3. Maybe because it didn't kill off the bad-asses. Maybe because it was epic, new, and interesting. Maybe it was the fact that you could actually relate to the character in a way, with them being more human. And while it was shorter, I think it has something to do with the annoying flood-based "filler levels" that are basically just long tromps through the most linear levels in the game, with the only variation being slightly on scenery, the geographical direction you travel in this strange labyrinth, and the amount of enemies you fight. Strategy also went out the window, as the only tactic you need to continue is to simply deplete your ammunition into anything that moves, reload, and continue. The closest thing to tactics was making sure not to run out of ammo. Don't get me wrong, they served their purpose; I really wanted to get rid of these douche-bags.

I played firefight, and quickly realized that this isn't just a copy and paste of horde with Halo's enemies. Or Mercenaries. Or Survival. Or any of the other gametypes with a similar concept. Plus, Bungie already made a survival mode in Marathon, with enemies teleporting in. (thanks, Punisher 13, Durandal is fun)

Look, the game started out as a simple expansion pack; something to hold us over until their final Halo-based product, Reach. (before new ip's are used) Not just a couple of tacked-on missions, but an entirely new viewpoint, to see the war from someone else's eyes. They chose the ODST.

As time went on, they had so many ideas for such a radical, different concept for a Halo game. They knew they had to keep the core Halo gameplay the same, as to not scare off Halo players, but interesting enough to, well, attract Halo Players. An ad campaign took care of those who weren't already playing some of the best games in existence.

Eventually, this 2-3 hour campaign transformed from this small, appetizer to a full-fledged meal. 6-8 hours if you're just sitting back and enjoying the game for what it is, and 2 more hours to hunt down the secrets of the city.

They also wanted to have a satisfying, survival-type game mode, but with the entire Halo Sandbox. This meant balanced weapons, great enemy AI tactics, skulls, and more. As they fine-tested it, they were satisfied. This, like the campaign, was no mere tacked-on side-feature.

Bungie then realized that Halo fans have a lotta issues to work out, and like to bash each other in the virtual face. With only a year of work time, a deathmatch feature was simply out of the question; weapon balance was off, due to the lack of dual-wielding and shields, and they didn't have time; it just didn't work out.

So they put on Halo 3's entire Multiplayer experience: Custom Games, Forge, Mathcmaking, and every single Halo 3 map to date, plus 3 new ones.

And to top it all off, you have early access to new info about Halo in general, and an invitation to the Halo: Reach Beta. Tons of people bought Crackdown just for the beta, yet nobody seems to actually notice 9or) that they get it with a Halo game.

While I appreciate a well-thought out and put together argument for once, (not just random gibberish about how Bungie r suk and gae) I have to disagree. I can understand you being tight with money in these economical times. But if you look closely, this game has more than enough to warrant a $60 purchase:

-What is widely regarded to be Halo's best campaign yet, even with it's apparent shortness.
-What is widely regarded to be Halo's best new game-mode yet, even though you can't bash your friends in the face.
-What is practically universally regarded to be Halo's best soundtrack yet.
-All of Halo 3's multiplayer, plus all the maps, plus new ones.
-A chance to get Recon and shut up already.
-An invitation to the Halo: Reach Beta.

If you don't already own Halo 3, this rivals The Orange Box as one of the best deals in gaming history. Nobody complained about buying Half Life 2's main campaign over again. Neither should anyone here. Sit down, pop in one of the disks, and freaking enjoy this collaboration for what it is.

Edit: Sorry for posting the same thing as I did in another, similar topic, but it had to be said.

I agree it only should be 30 dollars because of the short campaign

agreed. - ODST is a poor effort, a poor gesture to loyal fans.


Agreed

I don't refer to it as a game. Microsoft may, and Bungie too, but it is an expansion.

It wasn't as long as a game, it didn't have matchmaking like many games and it wasn't priced like a game.

Look at the last one. Halo 3: ODST wasn't priced as a game and as such you shouldn't expect a whole full blown game.

I payed £30 for mine (47$) and I thought it was great for what I payed. You may have payed the full 60$ for your game, but I guess that totally serves you right for not looking around a bit.

You payed full price for something that wasn't. The only con here is the one between you and the shop.
