Why did they have to give a ODST story to it?
I would've preferred made up ones, that involved Flood, Covenant and Delta Halo. =)

If there were that many Halo fans, how come my petition (in my sig) only has 100 people?

Maybe you're just a retarded biased fanboy.

ODST isnt a bad game. Complete new Campaign from a new perspective. It expanded on an area we have never seen before in a Halo game; ODSTs and Marines, normal humans. The layout of the story was also new to us; Flashbacks and freeroaming. The ability to freeroam New Mombasa was outstanding. The whole theme of Stealth and Darkness etc. was also something never done before in a Halo game.

I WILL SAY THAT ODST WAS A GOOD GAME BUT THERE WAS ABSOULETLY NO SOLID STORY-lne and the only reason most ppl bought it for was for the maps and the vid masters.

The Storyline was also very good (to those that followed it). The whole concept and idea of playable flashbacks as mission was new to Halo. It told us a story of how the ODSTs try to regroup in order to get out of New Mombasa before the place gets destroyed by the Covenant. And they must also protect and escort the Engineer because it holds secrets of The Covenant to attempt to find out their intentions. And the Legendary Ending which shows the Covenant leader Truth overseeing the excavation of a Forerunner artifact buried beneath the Superintendents data core.

The game was made during a 13 month development cycle with only a small portion of actual Bungie staff and a vast majority of outsourced talent from Volt/Excell/etc., considering the vast majority of Bungie staff were busy making Reach. For a game that was made "to the side", its an amazing game.

Enough of the Campaign; onto Firefight (Firefight is where players take on increasingly difficult waves of enemies in a timed survival game.)
Firefight is fun. Its best played with three other friends of course. The only flaws to firefight, is its replayability. Once you'd gotten all the achievements etc, it wasn't worth playing anymore. The only reason to this, was if you got a very high score, there was a chance the game wouldn't upload to Bungie.net. I experienced this first hand, me and a few friends spent hours getting 5+ million on Lost Platoon. Only for the game to not upload. And a friend of mine took it a step further and got 20+ million solo, twice. Only for the games to not upload.
If this problem didn't occur, I think firefight would've been a lot more popular.
Also, another thing that could've made firefight a bit better, would be the ability to search. But doing this could also have its flaws. Such as people searching to only ruin peoples games on purpose etc.

Enough of Firefight, onto the Multiplayer disk.
This is a good deal to be honest. A seperate disk with all the Halo 3 multiplayer on it. Every single map from the originals to Mythic, without the need to buy any extra. So if you didn't buy/download any of the map packs up to this date, you'd get them all with ODST anyway. This made the Halo 3 original disk not needed for a lot of people, as they rarely played the Halo 3 campaign so they could sell it. Also players were now able to get the infamous Recon Armor while doing 7 Vidmaster Achievements which included Halo 3/ODST Campaign and Matchmaking.

The game was worth £40 or $60, its a brand new game with many new features AND the whole Halo 3 Multiplayer. So to all you saying "the campaign sucked", "firefight sucked". No, it doesn't. They were both completey new concepts never done in Halo before, they were done as well as they could've been with the appropiate testing.

Oh and I almost forgot. A free pass to the Reach Beta that came later on. I don't have to go into detail about this, its a FREE PASS to the best game made this year in its testing period. And you were able to help Bungie make it better, how much better could it get?

And I lol at people that say Firefight is a copy of Horde mode from Gears or Zombies from CoD. Because they were the first ever games to have the concept of "Survival against waves of enemies". Nice one.

ODST isn't a bad game.

I bet OP buys Reach.

There's three problems with this game.
1. A lot of the maps get reused. An example would be the level Kikawani Station. It is almost the exactly the same thing 3 times in row, except with different enemies each time.
2. If you've barely taken any damage at all and touch a medkit, you just wasted it. If Bungie made you press a button to grab medpacks, this wouldn't happen.
3. It's hard to find the perfect set of weapons. While the plasma pistol and magnum combo is great for grunts, jackals, and brutes, it doesn't work for drones and hunters.

Other than that, this game is pretty good.

If you aren't getting another Halo game, that means you aren't getting HALO: REACH. I feel bad for you.

  • 08.02.2010 5:33 PM PDT

>.<

i thought it was a great game. By the way, you should have bought a Pre-Owned game. In good condition, of course. I bought one, and I saved 30 bucks.

Can you blame him? ODST was a huge disappointment, and definitely left an awful taste in my mouth, I don't know if I'm getting Reach out of principle.

How about if you just wait for the reviews to come out and then decide whether or not to purchase the game based on their evaluation of its quality?

The reviews are biased as hell, that's why. Everyone gave the game 9 out of ten and said it was a full game! Haha, my ass.

Toilet being just shut up

It should have only been $35, and we should have had the option to buy ODST without the Mythic disk, I already had Halo 3, as many others did.

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.



u r an idiot it rules. not as good as halo 3 but it is better than halo2 and 1.


Halo 3 odst campaing was good, BUT IF YOU THINK that halo 3 had a better campaing than halo 1 and 2 your an idiot

Still playing the ODST campaign, going through it with my wife on Legendary so she can play as a girl fire fight character.

We are having a blast playing fire fight! I also enjoyed the story.

Good times!

I would like to be a Mythic Member, or a mod.

REALLY BAD. I believe I deserve it, I am very loyal to the dear Bungie forums and want to keep everything in tip-top shape. Its always a real pleasure to be on the forums and I want to be recognized here.

I think it was a good game.

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