The anticipation of death is worse than death itself.

Once again, this time with 3 people, on Alpha Site, Normal.
Set 2, Round 1, Wave 5 (got 2 waves higher this time).

"Connection Error. Someone has left the game."

Ummm... No, no one left the game. The 3 of us are all friends, and all were very upset about this happening... again.

It's very clear this is a problem on YOUR side, Bungie. You have yet to even acknowledge the problem, soon the Better Business Bureau will be calling you about all the refunds you must issue if this keeps up.
You can't sell broken products and expect to not fix it/refund it.

Damn it!! Bucks hair is way too perfect. He just needs to shave it all off. That will make us happy :)

I too am having trouble w/ lag in both campaign and firefight. My friend who lives less than 7 miles away and I have tried to play both camp and firefight on several occassions and can't due to unbearable lag. We both rebooted our routers, turned off all firewalls, killed any internet filters, and even pinged each other's IP addys (which returned a ping somewhere in the 60's range). Sad thing is we have no trouble playing the Halo 3 original Camp or any matchmaking at all. We are also both on the same internet service provider. Another mutual friend of ours that lives on the other side of the country and I were playing the other day and had no troubles at all. So I can play w/ people 100's of miles away w/ no lag and people that are practically next door I can't? There should not be this much lag in any game and I hope that this will be addressed by the fine folks at Bungie soon. You guys have made stellar games thus far and have no doubt that you will be able to fix this problem and others soon! Thanks!

how does buck manage to keep his hair that perfect through all of that?????

  • 09.30.2009 8:02 PM PDT

What a waste....

THANK YOU!

Sometimes, if you die while listening to an audio log, it stops. It doesn't show up, anywhere. WTF?

Lagging made it to the fourth set and ended due to lag

I have just returned from a long, necessary break and I will start making maps soon!

I beat the Campaign on Normal, but I didn't get the achievement. I was playing split-screen with my brother and I skipped the credits, if that helps.

Wait let me get this straight, any negative feedback to odst gets shoveled into one little thread when this is the odst forum?

Isn't that the whole point of the ODST forum, you know to provide feedback and talk about the game, whether bad or good?
We don't need multiple threads about the same problems.

but im having fun makin fun of people.

played firefight to get the vidmaster endure but of course at the 4 set 2 round 4 wave someone lags out and the thing is that there was no lag at all through the entire game.

  • 09.30.2009 8:10 PM PDT

I never thought about bucks hair being to perfect but in a joking sense it just screams "MESS ME UP"

JK, I don't care, I don't use him.

  • 09.30.2009 8:14 PM PDT

Seriously, can Bungie just give the Endure achievement to everyone who has reached set 4 and lagged out with 7+ live to spare?

  • 09.30.2009 8:52 PM PDT

I think the main problem with the game is the connection problems, i have problems on Fire Fight and 4 player co-op,

  • 09.30.2009 8:54 PM PDT

I would like to report a problem that me and some friend are having when we try and get Deja vu. When ever we get to a new gate we dont get a checkpoint. This will continue on for 2-3 gates. Then we will die and die 10-13 more times before making it that far again. So basiclly our checkpoints are screwed up and we never get them. Its really annoying and gets quite old because this has happened to me both times ive attempted this achievment. Well yea please fix this.

Here’s what Luke had to say about the differences in treatment between the Spartans and Elites in Reach:

“Instead of piece-by-piece customization like the Spartans, Elite customization is a full model swap with models selected from the various Elite classes appearing throughout the Campaign. There are all kinds of reasons for this, not the least of which is our continued emphasis on the Spartan as your identity in Reach.”

Please have this thread pinned -- I was not aware it existed even after searching the forums before I created my thread a few days ago. Anyway, I'm sure you guys are aware of the problem, I just wanted to file my voice in the right section (this thread). Some people (myself included) are reporting that some firefight games with very high scores are not showing in our stats.

So I have the Audiophile Achievement
Found all Audio Logs, alone or with another ODST.
Acquired 9/29/2009

However, I didnt get the All Ears Find 15 Audio Logs, alone or with another ODST, or the Super Sleuth Find the final clue unraveling the mystery, alone or with another ODST.

Am I doing something wrong?

Thanks for choosing to whine over being a productive member of the community and possible element towards advancing Reach.

Why did they make Buck so damn dreamy. Everything about him is perfect.

DAMN YOU NATHAN FILLION!!! DAMN YOU!!!!!!

what is up with lag on live in this game? whenever I play ODST it takes like 5 mins for me to send and recieve invites.

I have this issue as well. It's so weird.

Ok, so I have a problem and/or question. I got ODST on Thursday, been playing it slowly but surely from then. Right now, I finished the Kikowani Station mission (even have the achievement) but when I look at my objective, its telling me to go back to Tayari Plaza. I was like "wth" so I check my objectives and the only one checked off is the Kikowani Station one.

According to some people on the topic I had posted, its because I started playing Co-Op with my friend. Only thing is, I had completed all mission up to Data Hive (the next one) on Solo Legendary. Anyone have any ideas?

I try to play ODST and I will get about 5 to 25 min into the game and my screen will freze. I have tryed a cooler room to play in and nothing changes. I have downloaded to harddrive and nothing happens. I have tryed a new ODST disk and nothing changes. I have tryed other disks new and old nothing happens. I have tryed w/o harddrive and nothing happens. I am going into the place that I bought it today and am returning it and geting my money back. If BUNGIE decides to completly fix the problem and make it well known that they did I might buy it again. I seam to only have problems with BUNGIE games. I got my first and only RED RING OF DEATH when I bought Halo 3...... I would love to be able to play a Halo game w/o any problems.... I am seriously thinking about swithching to PS3 because of BUNGIE problems....

Lag/disconnects. Two disconnects last night - one during Firefight on Security Zone after about 40 minutes of gameplay, another time during co-op Campaign on Coastal Highway while going for Endure. We got about halfway, when...DISCONNECT. .<
