I used to disagree with the OP but after looking at things from a birdseye view. I am disappointed in ODST! It's a freaking flaw on bungie's record as far as i'm concerned. It's the LOAD (metallica reference) for Bungie. It shouldn't have happened. All that effort they spent in this video game should've been spent in Reach, seriously. This game sucks. If you wanna fun game buy call of duty, not this game. seriously


What bungie did with ODST is similar to what DICE is doing with BF1943 and BFBC2

ODST is being used to test new technologies for Reach and keep the fans happy while the monster comes out.

I thought the exact same thing, and then i actualy beat the damn game and i love it now. You don't like it then i admire your need to express your opinion on an online forum thread.

Complete and totally agree with you there. The campaign was very dull with little bursts of action. It's absolutely no fun at all wandering through those streets as rookie, peeking around at the screen and praying that you actually find somewhere to go.


That is exactly why the map is there for people who get lost.

What was so great about the campaign? The story was iffy, hard to follow and didnt really leave you feeling anything. The campaign consisted of running around a dark city OVER and OVER to find stupid beacons. The running around in this game was awful. And who wants to play as a weak old ODST. Exactly what about this campaign was good? Do you enjoy running everywhere? [b]Was it too much to ask for a mongoose here and there? [b]


There are mongooses in supply cashes which show up on your map, another of your ideas in the toilet.

Dude, wahhh! Its SUPPOSTto be an open environment. Have you EVEN played firefight yet??? And the campaign is not 5 hours long unless your on easy maybe! Play legendary. You should REALLY try it. It's epic and you even EARN ACHIEVEMNETS! If its so horrible then why are you telling US about it!?!


Took me less than 6 hours on legendary on co-op with an absolute noob.

I am a halo geek and have loved odst's forever,when i heard they had they're own game i was beside myself with joy.and i it has more free content than any other halo game PERIOD,so if you dont like it... dont whine to us.

  • 01.20.2010 2:55 AM PDT

I agree with the OP. I was extremely hyped about this game...I've beaten this game in 2 weeks...(That means all achievements)2 WEEKS!And after you've done that, there is no replayability whatsoever...I hope Halo Reach will be better...

That's an extremely good metaphore. Well done.

ok so you're not a fan of Bungie. You said you won't be getting another copy, well guess you're going to miss out on Halo Reach you -blam!- sucking -blam!- :D

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.

Just for the sake of doing it....
So does your mom!
Now I bet you wouldn't be yelling that everywhere you went so hush your mouth child.

Play it, love it, rate it.

I will have to agree, I do not believe that ODST is worth $60. Even so, I still find it a fun game. It is not my favorite Halo title, but it is still fun.

True its horrible

Why would it be? We're discussing ODST in the ODST forum, what do you not understand?
Discussing? This thread is full of people complaining about Halo 3: ODST for the same reasons over 50 pages. It's truly an eyesore to look at every time I take a glimpse at this forum.

You best be trolling.
Or have down syndrome, either way.

For 60$, you get a game, a shatload of maps for free, some not even available otherwise. A new campaign. Firefight. The opportunity to unlock Recon. A free pass to the Reach Beta when its done.


Stop your whining.



and you can play more Halo 3 Multiplayer playlists because they require those maps.

  • 01.20.2010 5:04 PM PDT

Hey people lets all get to together and face facts. Halo sucks they -blam!- it all up. they sold halo 3 to us with those trailers
you know the ones that werent in the game? the cg images used to sell you a crappy poorly developed mediocre game? halo 1 was awesome it had everything you wanted from a game. halo 2 campaign
sucked but the multiplayer was freakin awesome! and then halo 3... could anyone truly enjoy the campaign? or the online lag fest coop? it sucked it was poorly made it had no violence nothing of interest. i honestly couldnt describe to you why this is is an m rated game. it is designed for 12 year olds and you have to be 17 to buy it. Bungie you are idiots. o look guys lets follow this one way road until the cliffs that are ALWAYS on both sides of us decide to take a turn. thats awesome next gen material isnt it? Bungie sucks we all know it deep down. they have never made a truly good game and they never will. their crappy doom rip off even sucked. if you want a truly good halo experience get all the books its cheaper and more fulfilling than the game. trust me i know. o yeah who came up with the bubble shield? and i didnt know the bubble shield existed in the days of halo 2 like it is portrayed in the odst abomination. anyone question the horrible letdowns on this site? so lets get started on ODST shall we? well i really liked the no name character from this one. you know the one who never took his helmet off? no not the chief the guy who is exactly the same as him? (wait theyre not the same the rookie doesnt have shields!) yes he does its called stamina and it can shield you from plasma that would melt an effin hole in the earth. if stamina could stop that, lance armstrong would be our first line of defense in an alien attack. awesome story too, i liked the duplicated enviroments and halo 3 scenery real effin innovative. firefight sucked too. lets play for 3 hours on heroic to get this achievement! yay 2 and a half hours in the game lagged us out. lets do that again! Bungie is a terrible developer and they should really be taken out of business. they are not professional theyre rip off artists. give the rights of halo to a good developer like Infinity Ward and you got yourself a long thought out game with innovation and excitement
. nothing from halo will give you those thrills unless you want to play the halo 1 campaign Assault on the Conrol Room was intense. The Two Betrayals was crazy on legendary. Halo 1 was a good game almost perfect. but after that they got greedy and really didnt give a -blam!- what the fans thought. Dont be let down on halo: reach we know its going to be terrible. the same cut scenes to tease you like they used for halo 3. And wouldnt you know it another masked protagonist? honestly why do they think a mask makes a character so edgy and cool? it doesnt it makes them bland and mass produced. halo reach probably wont even delve into the story at all. Like you know how all the spartans die on the planet except the chief and kelly. and kelly was frozen of course due to the wounds she recieved retrieving the data revealing earth from the satelite above reach. No they wont mention that im sure and they will make some survive so thay can make a few more spin offs of a dying game. halo sucks now they killed it. I dont think they can fix it either. but they wont unless you pre pubescent kids stop playing it and find real games with something called depth. please people start complaining help make halo "epic" again.

You have said nothing about Firefight, which is the best part of the game...
You mean that boring mode that is the same thing over and over again? .....

If that is true then there is no way in hell I'm buying Reach now. I don't feel like getting ripped off yet again.

Notice how all the users agreeing with the OP are just plain "members". I wouldnt be surprised if he made a few accounts just to add a few users who agree with him.

I love firefight,and ODST is totally worth it. Suck it OP.

ODST is full of win just like any of the Halo games. They are all 11/10 on my rating list.

I think it's a good game.
