I am very disappointed with ODST. I finished the game yesterday in under 4 hours by myself. That's it. Now all I have left is firefight. Don't get me wrong I am a huge halo fan. I have to buy every Halo game like it's an impulse. But $60 for ODST just leaves a knot in my stomach like I should return it. But I'm not. I wished bungie would have made the campaign longer and a somewhat new multiplayer mode for that price. I know I will be receiving some criticism about this post but come on you can't be that naive and say this game is worth $60.


Maybe your playing on too easy a difficulty level? They've said Heroic is the standard if you've ever played a Halo game before. I've been playing 6 hours and I still have a fair amount to go yet. Of course I'm trying to do as many achievements as I can on this play through and get all the story terminals as well, but really, if your playing through the game and like Halo at all, why wouldn't you do that? That side story so far seems like a pretty big deal and pretty important to the overall narrative.

Aside from that, this is probably the best most interesting campaign I've played in a Halo game in some ways. I'm far less concerned with the play time it takes for me to finish it than I am the quality of the experience, especially with a Halo game as I'm likely to get a lot more play time out of it's campaign than almost any other game I get with repeat playthroughs. I would much rather have quality over quantity. They could've went in and really padded out the gametime by making you hunt down random trophies or some crap for no reason other than needed to collect them to finish, but that would be awful. Unfortunately though, that's what a lot of developers do in games to make them "longer". Fun > Length anyday.

I did play Heroic. I don't why it is taking you so long to beat it. And yes this campaign was the best so far. But it's over. All I could do now is play it again with friends and skulls on plus firefight. It just does not seem to be worth the $60 to me. By making it that price Bungie is saying that it is delivering the same content as Halo 3 did when by far it isn't.

With Halo 3 you got: 8-12 hour campaign, forge, theater, brand new multiplayer for $60

With ODST you get: 4-6 hour campaign, firefight, 3 new maps for $60. Forge, theater, multiplayer are the same.

I knew someone was going to criticize because they're fanatics but I am one too. But ODST at most should have been $40.

The search bar is like a DMR.

Anyone can use it effectively if they try.
Smart people do use it effectively.
Idiots don't, then complain about how it doesn't work.
The only problem is that, the DMR is used in Reach, but the search bar isn't used in the Reach forum.

ODST campaign is definitely not 4-6 hours. If played the right way, and if you find everything it's about 7-12 at least. I've spent way more then that but I've been playing co-op with a friend, solo by myself, and co-op with my brother.

Trouble always follows. I named it Bob!

$60 is kind of pricey for a "short" campaign and fire fight but at least you get all the maps. Of course that isn't much of a consolation for those of us that already have them all but the newest three. I'm getting ODST any way to get to play as ODST's and get to play the fire fight mode that I'd dreamed of since Halo 2. Who knows they may release some more fire fight maps in the future with the flood in them. That'd be so worth it. Maybe for free. Huh, huh,huh Bungie? By the way, I loved the old Heretic map and thank you for returning it. Now we just need the classic Blood Gultch returned to us again. It is old but a clasic. Many of us miss the old maps and some even have the old games to keep playing them. Also all the old vehicles, the shades and the shadows would be great things for forge.

I was just wandering about if you could find the heritic skulls on the multiplayer disc, or do you have to buy the maps on market place

Time isn't made out of lines... it's made from circles, that is why clocks are round... www.myspace.com/teamkilljoymusic

I heard they get something but who knowes. It seems like after REACH the old crew from bungie is ready to retire and makes me super sad... I miss the cheif. Halo 3 pretty much stated that they were about ready to say good bye.
