Subject: The ODST problem reporting and complaints thread

I think there is too much emphasis on headshots in odst. It seems completely ridiculous that a pistol should be a more effective weapon than a sub machine gun or the explosive brute shot! Also, the prepare to drop playlist for halo 3 is too much about headshots.

Brutes aren't monkeys, Brutes are gorillas. Humans are monkeys, and Spartans are Orangutans.

My issues

1. Firefight lag. Usually becomes worse after a couple of waves, or if alot of players/enemies are close and/or much happening closely
2. Matchmaking would be a good thing. It would be much fun!!!, buy also because regular Halo3 matchmaking would become a better place for all not so hardc0re for a while (don't get me into explaining why, but I'm sure you folks know...)
3. I also don't like the new color modifications on the Halo3:Mythic online play, back to normal please. :)

I can't say that pistol did me much good as a headshot tool on brutes or cheiftans.... not until they was stipped of armour anyway. Bruteshot did the job as expected though.

Vidmaster Challenge: Endure:
In Firefight, on any mission, pass the 4th Set on 4-player Heroic LIVE co-op.


Should they change how they wrote this? If I were to get the first wave on the fourth set, that would be considered PAST the fourth set! Bungie should change it to say:

Vidmaster Challenge: Endure:
In Firefight, on any mission, reach the 5th Set on 4-player Heroic LIVE co-op.



My friends and I make it all the way past the fourth set, first round, and the second wave. One of us lagged out, the game ended, and no Vidmaster Achievement was unlocked.

My evidence: My Firefight game. No Vidmaster: Endure?!
What do you think about this?


Well, I don't know how Bungie deals with these types of things, but I just want to show off my hard work with Recon. Please reply with any issues about this.

bnet doesn't seem to pick up on longer games of firefight. me and some friends played for almost 8 hours and 40 minutes to put up 10.5 million points in firefight but it won't show up on anyone's profile.

I do have a fair share of complaints, but I would like to report them. I do have other complaints against the game, but I want to hold on to them, unless they become more of a problem for me.

Firefight Lag issue: Each time ONI building (Close Quarters) is selected with up to four players it has a 50% chance of lagging someone out of the game when it's still in progress.

Certain Campaign Levels: If up to four people are playing campaign, it randomly disconnects the internet and signing someone out of Xbox Live (for me this has happened two times for Coastal Highway).

Re-spawning to team-mates way too often: This is a slight problem in Mombasa Streets if someone were to engage in combat or too far it starts to re-spawn people when it's not necessary.

I think you get the point. If you give me a health bar, allow it to deplete.

My main complaint is obviously the lag. I didn't know other people were experiencing this issue until now, which is good to know and now i don't have to call my ISP.

Other than the whole lag thing, i haven't run into any other major issues that make playing the game less fun. If i do though, i will be posting in this thread.

Thanks Bungie!

  • 09.27.2009 5:08 PM PDT

This should be stickied, too many people have problems, and Bungie should try to sort everyones individual firefight lag-outs out

I am Spectre; the dark ghost, the grim reaper, the soulless one. My wrath is imminent, I strike with silence. I am a natural born killer from birth. Your radar won't help you, your senses will be tested. Your death is not a question of "if," but "when." You have been forewarned.

I got an achievement dealing with the new maps, and immediatly after lost my security helmet and katana. Anybody know why and how to fix this?
Do you have the original 49 Halo 3 Achievements?


I know I had the armor and sword, I rocked them both in about 10 matches, and then they're locked again.

And after every match, it shows I'm able to select that armor, but as soon as I do it resets to the default.

They should give the endure achievement to everyone who gets to 4th set, round 1, wave 1 and lags out with clearly enough lives left, like 7+ lives left

I don't know what it is about this game but for some reason the guide button functions for my 360 seem to take a lot longer to respond when I play it. Generally if I am in the firefight lobby and send out invites to people it takes about 30 seconds before the little thing pops up on my screen that says invite sent. I can't see this being a lag issue since the actual games don't lag for me at all but I don't know what it means.

^^ that's some nice shizz! well done.

Also, reading through this thread is really dissapointing.
It seems ODST really could have used some more time in the oven.

Microsoft riding a developers ass seems to be a very very BAD thing.

*** Also, is Bungie ever going to comment on all these issues? ***
