Map guids, Training and a great community!

This game could of been so much better with some extra development time. Such as matchmaking for firefight and custom options.

Besides the halo 3 disk which comes with ODST doesn't seem as detailed as the original halo 3 disk. The player models look awful.

I'm quite disappointed to be fair.

Dear Bungie who will never see this:

Played firefight for the first time on LIVE yesterday, and the lag SUCKED. COD Zombies and Halo3 matchmaking were, with the same connection, rather good.

I hear this is called a latency issue. Please Please Please address this, so firefight lives up to it's extremely hot potential!!!

Thanks

Having one of the players in the group lag out during Firefight, especially when being close to getting the Endure achievement with 20+ lives. These are people that DON'T lag out during matchmaking in Halo 3 so this is an unusual problem for them.

Firefight needs matchmaking you lazy bumz!

  • 09.29.2009 7:14 PM PDT

I would like to be able to leave a match without ending the match for the rest of the group, I always feel like an arsehole when I have to leave.

Last night, he lagged out of the party and game.... but tonight... he "lagged" out, and the game ended, and message thing said that the game ended because a player left the game... but when we got back to the pre-game screen, he was still in the party and everything... Fricken stupid... Also, the first two times I tried it, I got to the 4th set, 3rd round, 5th wave... and we all died... >=( both times!!!!

This tapioca pudding is runny! I HATE YOU BUNGIE!


How about creating a game with a new multiplayer, and a campaign that lasts more than 5 hours...being sarcastic about arguments that are prevalent just makes yourself look stupid.

No animations while on the back of a mongoose. (ie:reloading, switching weapons)

Running faster than a spartan with a detached turret. (wtf?)

I was also disappointed by Halo 3: ODST.

I had always had doubts about ODST ever since they said it would be a full priced game. When it was first mentioned that it would be around $40, I thought that seemed right for an expansion. But $60 plus tax was pushing it.

But, I decided to give Halo 3: ODST a chance. After a few days of deciding if I should buy ODST, I finally gave in to my Halo Spirit. I bought the game.

I first headed into Campaign, and started on Normal Difficulty. I have yet to beat the game, but I've probably spent about 4 or 5 hours so far. I'm almost finished with the game with two levels remaining in Campaign.

I'm a little disappointed. There is really lack of innovation in this game, and there are many unecessary humor and side plots throughout the game. Campaign was just too dull for me, and was lacking that Halo Spirit. The Rookie Campaign was also dull with moments of lonliness and complete boredome.

Firefight was alright, adding something new to the mix, but it soon got repetitive and I decided to head over to -blam!- Zombies.

The disk that included all of the Halo 3 Multiplayer Maps was a nice component of the game, but I already have all of the DLC and getting three new maps was nice, but really wasn't worth it.

Finally, Halo Reach Beta. Who knows what will happen out in the future, so I hope that Halo Reach will regain some of my gaming spirit for Halo.

ODST is a fine example of how Halo fans will buy into anything that Bungie puts out in the gaming market. People have been brainwashed that anything released by Bungie, no matter how terrible the game, they will always say that the game is great. I think ODST is a great example. Even I fell victim to this. I bought the game. Now I regret it, so I'm thinking of selling it to my older brother.

Overall, I give this game a 6/10 for lack of innovation, short Campaign, No multiplayer, and repetiiveness and lack of anything new brought into the game. (With the exception of Firefight, but that falls into the catagory of repetitiveness.)

Remember, this is my opnion, please don't chew me out because of it.

All in all, I believe the game is a slightly below average game, and isn't worth the $60 Price Tag.

Subject: The ODST problem reporting and complaints thread

1. Price tag of $60 to high (its alot cheaper on ebay)

2. Very short campaign (4-5 hrs of play)

3. Firefight is to predictable, needs more randomness

4. Recon is to easy to get

5. Dare's helmet is weird looking, character was poorly designed

5. No matchmaking for firefight

6. Checkpoints in campaign while playing with 4 guys dont always load on the last level and you have to redo parts of highway over and over again. (might happen on other levels but didnt notice)

7. Legendary campaign felt like I was playing normal difficulty

8. One of the characters I dont know which one says some really dumb stuff and is very annoying. One thing he said was something about fox trotting. WTF? Awful.

8. Why not real leaderboards for fightfight and not a cheesy graph?

9. Wheres the BR?

10. Good game overall, the invitation to the reach beta is the best part. Please let it be the best halo game of all.

11. Audio logs are annoying and the storyline is pretty much a waste of time.

12. Most achievments are easy to get I got about six campaign achievements in about a hour.

Trying to play firefight with two friends.

Any combination of 2 is fine and lag free, everytime we go to 3 people, lag lag lag then we get kicked out in less than 60 seconds.

Switch to the 2nd disk (Halo 3 multiplayer), smooth and lag free.

I'm sure Live and Bungie are aware. Still this blows...we kind of want to play firefight here.

  • 09.29.2009 8:12 PM PDT

Why does Bungie put us through such avid anticipation?

Is there a patch to make DARE's jaw into a woman's?

I miss the days of Halo 2.

Ummm..... Way to many latency issues, frame rate drops, and slow-mo game play in Fire Fight... Oh and when there is barely any lag there are only 2 weapons that are off target and do not go where you aim they are: Spartan Laser, and the Sniper Rifle/Beam Rifle. When it seems like you aren't lagging but there is just enough there to throw your shots off.

I also completely agree with this post.

I have lagged ot of the last 10 firefight games I have been in. I have good connection and open NAT. 2 of these were during the end of the 4th set. It just freezes randomly and says "player left game" even though no one left and we are all in the lobby and disconnects me from the party temporarily. Is this god telling me that I don't deserve recon or just a reason for me to hot drop into bungie studios and shoot everything that screams. Just kidding about that last part, or am I? No really its a joke.

  • 09.29.2009 8:38 PM PDT

The anticipation of death is worse than death itself.

Firefight on Normal, 2 players over LIVE.
Set 2, Round 1, Wave 3. We lag out. To each of us it appears that the other one was the cause, then we end up back in the lobby, together.
I've barely played Firefight because of all I'm hearing about this, then I do and it happens.
Several times while playing the game froze for under a second, just quick freeze, then going again. Finally it froze and was over.

Is this issue even being looked into?

  • 09.29.2009 8:53 PM PDT

Life's tough... Wear a Helmet.

I have an issue where i have to watch the opening video of the solo campaign or else the game never gets past the loading screen.

I really wish people would stop blaming the connections of those getting lagged out. Most of these people having their games abruptly ended have great connections and do not suffer this what so ever when playing other games, even Halo games. The only common factor they all share when this problem does happen is they are playing ODST ...what exactly does that tell you Sherlock? You need to put your own fortune aside as well as your fanboy attitude for Bungie and admit there is a very real problem here thats upsetting allot of people.

But that aside I do have a complaint. Why does the game do this? Really? Even if there is a connection issue why is it programed to end the game rather then try and fix the issue like... say... Halo 3? You'd figure with the 3+ hour long games that can take place in firefight that salvaging the game would be a bit more a priority then it currently is in the programing.
