Subject: Halo pc compared to Halo 3: Odst - is it worth it?

Ok people, i got a simple question. For any of you that did play halo 3 odst, is the game worth the buy? I ask you guys on this forum cuz i think you are the ones i could identify myself best with in terms of halo games. I am a huge halo ce (pc) fan and still play the game to this day, but i got so dissapointed with halo 2 (pc) and halo 3. Namely because the atmosphere, scripting and feel of the campaign was childish and mundane in halo 2 and so rushed in halo 3, ending story was dissapointing (+brutes suck big time). That last mission in halo 3 could have been so epic, like lvl assault on the control room + truth&reconciliation mixed in, with odsts nd banshees! Unknown covenant/forerunner boss that you must defeat with sword and laser perhaps.. I admit that halo 3's multiplayer has its dept and fun, but i still find halo pc's multiplayer and campaign the very best. So bring it up: is halo 3 odst a must-have or not? Opinions appreciated!

Something smells fishy...

I've never played Halo 3: ODST.

Although I wouldn't call it a "must have" because ODST is just another game in the series.

But I'm sure it's a decent game at worst. If the price has dropped (which I'm guessing it has by now) then, if it were me, I'd buy it.

This is the average H2 Fanboy.

50 in H2/H3? Great, but you still fail at this.

The only good part of ODST is firefight and recon. And thats about it. Wait till gamestop fills up with copies used or till the reach beta comes out before you buy.

I search tirelessly for the secrets of the one known as the webmaster and for ling-ling's head.

I would say it is worth it if you don't mind the semi-short campaign. Firefight is fun and the game allows you to unlock recon if you want it. plus it gives you access to the reach beta

Yeah. That's right. I don't have a 50 in H3. I never got Onyx in Reach. If a game sucks too much, I won't even bother trying for such trivial "accolades". Besides, I've done way more things that take far more skill and talent than anything that can be done in a video game.

$60 for an expansion pack. WTF was Bungie thinking?

The bungie.net community is the halo PC community that is renowned for being unbelieveably sucky.

WTF was Bungie thinking?

Halo is their cash cow, and they are going to milk it. Not calling ODST Halo 4 was the most original idea they have had in a decade.

I haven't even played it. Not gonna pay $60 for something that's worth $20 maybe.

I wonder how Halo 5 will be?

To dumb console kids, yeah. To everyone else who calls a spade a spade, it's an expansion pack.

It is definitely not worth the buy of 60 dollars. The only reason I purchased it was because of Heretic.

Ye I figure the price will drop even more once Reach beta is online, guess ill w8 till then

Don't expect gameplay like Halo CE, but it's the second best thing so far in the Halo universe. Though the story is VERY childish. Like -blam!- childish. I hope Bungie sees this too, cuz I'm not even kidding; one of the writers must have gotten their 12 year old son to write it. Theirs no death, no remorse, and it's soooo predictable. If there was no Romeo, I would be convinced my assumption was true. Still, as I said, gameplay is farely good. More objective than Halo 3. And Firefight is BA.

If it can be imagined, then it exists.

It's really fun and it has a really immersive atmosphere. It's one of the first games I played in a long time where I felt the urge to explore every inch of the game. That said, the story can be somewhat childish, I wish Bungie would stop pandering to seven year olds. Oh yeah, and firefight is a blast. Overall I would say its worth a buy.

:3 I will die. :[

I agree with you,Parrot.I mean Microsoft sits at the table drinking some coffee thinking for the expansion for ODST and one guy on the table says"Why don't we sell the original Halo 3 multiplayer disk from 2 years ago with all the map packs to our piss poor public".The campaign was terrible,all you do is walk this big-barren boring ass city.You back-track a lot,and the gameplay is amazingly repetitive.And the Saxophone in the music just fits the feel where I shoot Grunts,Brutes or Jackals.I only enjoyed 2 parts.Where you fight the scarab and Buck,Romeo,Mickey and Dutch join forces to use missile pods to destroy drop-ships and banshees.It's not the worth the money.But the Firefight mode kicked ass,It was taken from Gears of Wars II Horde mode but it's better so it doesn't matter.And to play the whole firefight maps you have to beat the crap campaign.
