Subject: The ODST problem reporting and complaints thread

Extraterrestrial life detected, attempting communication:
"Hello, where can I find the space bathroom?"

I know it's been said countless times, and it's pointless for me to complain about it, but oh well, I need to vent.

The horrid, horrid lag has borderline ruined the game for me. Campaign was fun, if a touch short, and Firefight, when not a hop-skipping mess, is fun, aside from the fact that it's a -blam!--and-a-half to find teammates.

But honestly, this lag issue is ridiculous. Halo 3 works fine with 16 people, why can't Firefight work with four? The "replayable" part of the game, the part that makes it fun to play for months, years to come, is basically unplayable. That makes me sad.

At first I was upset about no matchmaking in firefight but I got over it. It isn't really needed besides with matchmaking you'd just end up with people quitting out and wasting your time. Although must say Buck's hair is too perfect darn Nathan Fillion and you're perfect hair.

The framerate seems to drop during Firefight when playing with multiple people, thats really the only problem I have with it.

And to the people complaining about teamates getting lagged out of Firefight and losing your achiviment, quit your whining. Firefight is built ontop of the Campagin and the session is designed to end if someone leaves.

This issue is not fixable without a HUGE rewrite in the codeing of the Firefight levels. That is also the reason for why there is no matchmaking for Firefight.

First post. I could not find a search function in this forum software, and I gave up browsing after about a dozen pages, but here's my issue:

I read the FAQ and it states that if you select the set score OFF it resets your game. Unfortunately I did that before reading the FAQ, not really understanding what it was supposed to do, because I was at my wits end.

I had played the campaign on for a while, then switched to co-op campaign with some friends. We didn't finish the campaign. I wanted to finish the campaign solo, so I loaded the campaign at the same level we had finished in co-op, since it was unlocked. After doing so, the campaign moves backwards, in that the levels play in reverse, presumably until you hit the first level. Is this a bug?

i had 1 problem, me, my brother and my friend were doing firefight. Normal on rally point.. we got up to like set 1 round 3 wave 3 or something close. we killed all enemies but it wasnt bringing in the new wave. we spent like 10mins looking for it just incase we missed it but my brother was dead and he was looking around on the flying camera as well.. so we were thinking that it was a glitch or sumfin.. or we just missed it, but thats highly unlikely

Why does the halo firefight keep logging me out in the last part? I have done the vidmaster challenge 4 times but due to some kind of complications it keeps ending. I have beaten it but still dont get achievement... what's up with that? It lags out in the bonus round twice! Giveing me a error message with co-op game must restart at last checkpoint... Like as if. Please tell me what I can do to fix your game!!!!

  • 10.06.2009 1:07 AM PDT

ill take this oppurtunity to have a nice little b*ich

campaign: too short, ive played it twice on heroic and legendary and it just gets boring and has no replay value.

firefight: only one good firefight map and thats lost platoon. every other map has just been half assesd scratched together and ripped right from the campaign. and theres lag and no matchmaking. but i dont care about matchmaking because i have freidns who will play with me.

achievments: way to easy, nothing fun in them, should have been more care and effort put into these to get people oto play the game longer. needs a achievment addition just like halo 3.

btw wrong forum, but halo 3 isnt fun anymore, shishka is an idiot who creates playlists that suck and arent even fun. rocket race? ranked living dead? mythic brawl? ultimate -blam!-.

bottom line. Bungie make good games and i will continue to buy them, i just think that their lack of effort into ODST just confirms the ending of the only reason i bought an xbox 360, the halo franchise. if reach has some complete BULL*HIT with project natal or whatever, or if it isnt as awesome as halo 3. then youve lost a consumer.
and to all those who dont agree.
go home BK's

There are Shield doors in Last exit you can Drive a Ghost though. (Even if you going at its slowest)

Iv'e marked them down on this Heat Map.

All good things... come to an end..

When I play Fire fight my connection is purfect and the game does not lagg but after say 2-3 hours of game play it will disconnect me saying "A player has left the game". my friends say it comes up with my name when it disconnects. What should I do about this?

  • 10.06.2009 4:14 AM PDT

Today me and 3 other mates decided to try get the endure achievements. We made it to the end of 4th set and finished it but there was a problem. When we got into the bones round and i know if when u finish bones round from set 4 you get the endure achievement but when we just started the bones round we got disconnect and somehow bungie was the cause of our disconnection and we did not get the endure achievement. If we didnt get disconnected we would of done the bones round and get the achievement but no...we got disconnect so i hope you understand and fix this problem.

What are we supposed to be discussing here?


"Nothing in the 'Verse can stop me."

Yay, I can complain somewhere. My only complaint is that after getting to Wave 5, Round 2, Set 4 for my Endure achievement the last enemy disappeared. We spent 20 minutes looking for it on Lost Platoon and couldnt find it. That seems pretty stupid to me that an enemy can leave the playing area. >:(

But oh well.

Matchmaking in firefight please. All of my friends are whipped by their girlfriends and can only play once in a blue moon(it seems like).

I know this a complaint thread, but I have to say the campaign was awesome! Playing on heroic by yourself for your first playthrough is definitely the way to go.


*High five!* For playing campaign solo on heroic.
Back on topic; Firefight seems to lag a bit too much. I was going for Endure and it kept having these huge lag spikes. But it was weird because we all live in the same suburb, all have a decent internet connection and no one was downloading on any of our computers.
Also I was playing firefight with another person in my suburb and same conditions as before we started having these really bad lag spikes and eventually disconnected.

My BIGGEST complaint is that there is no matchmaking or search or whatever you want to call it for firefight. Plus I would like to be able to do more with ODST's than fight just waves of covies..... maybe make a matchmaking for ODST like in halo 3?? you know objective based games that pits us against other ODST's

Anybody want a peanut?

Controller lag when playing any type of Co-op is the thing that bugs me the most. I usually have a good connection, with an Open NAT and such, but whenever I play Co-op Firefight or Campaign in ODST, my controller lags. Basically, the response time from button press to on-screen action is noticeably slower, and hinders my gameplay.

w00t w00t

Check out my Gaming Rig on EVGA Mod Rigs.

My only complaint is that I don't have more time to play... Sadly this isn't a Bungie or ODST problem.

But on a more serious note, Lag in FF is not much fun and we really good use a way to find players for firefight AND co-op!

So i was playing halo 3 odst for a bit when i got to another level. The hud stoped showing up. No gun or any stat info like it would for a cut scene. I can still shoot and it shows the fire from the gun but not the gun, cross hair or anything else. I can also still throw grenades.

I deleted the game info from my xbox to try to see if it would fix it but it still does it. Pretty BS for something i spent so much money on to get new.

  • 10.06.2009 1:21 PM PDT

I was going to continue from my save game but when i started and the game loaded all the shadows in the game were covered in white static (snow). So after 5 mins of walking around in game waiting to see if it would disappear I decided the best course of action was to restart the console and load a different level. That worked for about 3 min. into the game when the snow came back, I noticed when I turned the visor* on that the snow was significantly reduced.
However, I do remember the last time I was playing (before my game messed up) I left my console on pause in game for about 5 min then i shut it down, so maybe its a hardware issue but I didn't see anything wrong with my other games.
anyone else have a problem like this?

*falls to his knees* my baby is back! *nussles his magnum*

ok this is stupid, on last exit the left and right door that have rocket ammo in the middle of the two [ O ] kinda like that. They close after letting out an enemy and unlike the one north of rocket ammo

it does not push you away if your in a ghost only on foot, if you go to ram enemies comming out you go through and it kills you.

Now I can see why this was done but because the ghost still goes through even if a little bit of your body passes you die, you lose your weapons and the ghost sits between the doors.

Now you cant get the ghost back because if you get on it kills you again because its still on the other side of the wall.

the other problem with this is the door will not shut now, in fact it happens on both sides, and neither shut. Im not mad but upset that this was poorly done.

No offense bungie but I dont know how many other people this has affected, and because im playing solo I dont know if this causes any lag, but the barrier should be like the north one at least, and the doors shouldnt glitch and stay open. ill post a vid later showing what I mean.

But because theres no clip feature itll be awhile into the vid sigh
