Subject: The ODST problem reporting and complaints thread

weeks back i followed the link from this site to Amazon to pre-order my copy of ODST with the promise of it unlocking Sgt Johnson for Firefight, but i have found no way of unlocking him.
No other gripes from me really, the Pistol is awesome again yay!!
Campaign was a bit quick, completed on all 3 levels in under a week with very little game play as i work nights.
Some of the achievements are a bit lame TBH, Heal Up 5g just because i used a medi pack whoopy, Trading down 5g just because i swapped guns with a marine. Too easy.
firefight is Awesome, i've only gone solo so far but what a blast, Pistol out, Grunts heads off, Overkill, Killtacular, Running Riot, Untouchable etc etc medals dropping out of the sky.
And thats what this game has been for me mostly, Fun, i've done more free-roaming in a week of ODST than my entire career on Halo 3, i've laughed loudly while racking up headshots with the Pistol and i didn't have to give Microsoft my dosh for the Mythic Maps, Score

Please update the theater mode so you can skip rounds/sets so we don't have to fast forward to get to all the cool stuff that happens 2 hours into our game. Also add the rewind feature like in halo 3, why you would ever take it out is beyond me. Thanks - Dwack
Other then what I posted this game is full of win!

"Connection has been lost"

I'm REALLY sick and tired of seeing this message.

I have the fastest connection my service provides, and it's happened to me on numerous occasions.
Blame your friends for their 56k modem.

Bungie is my favorite developer, but man, they need to hire someone who can model faces. They can make armor look perfect and almost real, but faces always look like complete ass. Dare can fit like 4 cheeseburgers in that mouth.

I am of an open mind and I am willing to hear criticism. Also: That's stupid and you're stupid.

I demand that Buck's hair gets messed up in a future update. He has better hair than Fred from Scooby Doo, that's messed up!

Me and a friend got 200,000 points on last exit on firefight (it's in my firefight history) but got no achievement.

  • 10.03.2009 9:27 AM PDT

If you haven't killed me by now...chances are you're already dead.

What's up with all the lag? Whenever I try to play a game with some friends it always lags pretty bad and we all have good connections. Is Bungie going to address this?

Fix the lag and i'll be happy.

No lie I have tried to get ENDURE about 7 times and something always happens to prevent me to get this achievment. The first we got to the very last wave and somebody lagged out, not a surprise. And all the other times we all die somebody lags out or like the other night my friend fell asleep. I really want this vidmaster and I dont know what to do. I might just trade in ODST but its a great game so I probably won't.

  • 10.03.2009 9:37 AM PDT

I have a bug for last exit. For some reason if you hijack a ghost when you get close to the lower garage doors, not sure what to call them, but you die instantly. i went back and checked the footage and nothing happened.

Hey man, I saw the early test versions of Buck and It wasn't pretty... I got no problem with how he looks now

But firefight is horribly laggy if you have more than 2 people, I wish it was better.

Sorry if this has been already posted but, the main problem we are having with ODST is the drop of connection issue. It always seems to happen on 2nd or 3rd set on the Alpha Site map on Heroic. The screen will freeze and we drop the session saying that the other players have left the game. Our connection is great and so is the other team members. After trying this 4 to 5 times now it has really gotten annoying. We hope the issue will be resolved soon.

Overall, ODST is working very well, is very enjoyable, and more than I expected in an add-on title. Particularly when combined with the fantastic new bungie.net statistical features and graphics. It appears many wish list items from H3 seem to be fullfilled.

I have experienced some score reset issues in Campaign mode, which were resolved by starting a new campaign level attempt. In all, not much has gone wrong.

Some latency issues were noted for bungie.net Campaign level complete graphics updating, however this item resolved in 48 hours. Overall ODST is a great addition and Firefight is hugely fun when combined with the new weaponry.

The night scenes are like taking a trip to Las Vegas. Great Job!

Halo 3's campaign theatre never had rewind either, and since firefight is an offset of campaign it also doesnt have rewind, or matchmaking.

But seriously bungie, im sure some kind of custom game finder could have been put in place.

At least on the website.
