Why is it that it seems who ever "likes" ODST sucks up to Bungie?

Uhh, no.

Hello, Community!

Hopefully if you're reading this, it's because you're interesting in kicking your campaign experience up a notch by cranking up the Legendary with all skulls activated :-) Need advice? A guide? Maybe even a friendly community to cheer you on and help guide you through the process? Then give our Mythic thread a read, and Godspeed on your Mythic journey!

It's not only narrow-minded, but also down right selfish to believe that only ONE opinion and perspective of the game (or anything else for that matter) to exist.

Is it really that hard for you to believe that many people, myself included, actually enjoyed (and still enjoy) the game?

Herro!

Why would anyone want to "suck up" to a videogame company?

It may seem that people who like it are sucking up to Bungie because they either a) are sucking up to Bungie or b) genuinely like ODST. I am shooting for the latter, but hey, I'm just a guy who likes ODST

QFT.

The problem is that people get fixated on their own opinion and won't hear anything against it, or they have a strong sense that they've been wronged when they appear to have made an uninformed purchase or raised their expectations too high.

Sure, I enjoyed ODST and have the capacity to do so anytime someone else is also playing ODST courtesy of a great co-op feature in Mombasa Steets and Firefight. However I can still see that it wasn't a perfect game, but then again, nothing is.

Despite the few problems I may have had with ODST (Firefight score tracking in particular) I don't immediately denounce it as "not a full game" or an "overpriced expansion" because I got good value from the game regardless of anyone else's opinion or my own negative experiences which didn't mar the experience as a whole.

And now I'll address the title of thread; showing appreciation for a game one enjoys does not equate to "sucking up" to Bungie. Personally I feel that they did a great job considering the short dev cycle and repurposed team, yet I still feel that ODST could have been better in some ways, for example I would have liked to see some live Elites in the game, either getting killed by the Brutes or engaging the player as 3rd party enemy in certain situations.

I also believe that people are forgetting that this is the first time we've actually had a Bungie-made game to play in between major Halo titles. I've even heard people say they would have rather had nothing at all. I mean really? Are people that arrogant?

Personally, I'm thrilled that I didn't have to wait 3 years to play another Halo game. People just need to get over themselves...

Ditto.

"People who like ODST suck up to Bungie" is an (cough cough) argument worthy of 4th grade classrooms... maybe. Fact is, there are people who like ODST and criticize Bungie on a whole range of issues. There are people who love Bungie's work who are upset with ODST. And so on, so forth.

Stereotyping a viewpoint and lumping all variants thereof in a neat little box one can easily label to fit later insults isn't a way to make your point more of a consensus than it could be if you were putting it clearly, without sarcasm, disdain, and otherwise pulling strawmen on your readership.

No one should ever be afraid of looking stupid, so long as they are making a rational effort to expand their understanding.

Perhaps your perception is skewed. Consider the possibility that people actually like ODST, and you you project your distaste for the game onto everyone who likes it; thus fooling yourself into the false belief that people who like it must be sucking up.

"Everyone is capable of doing extraordinary things, each in his own way. Some are perfectly happy doing simple things in good spirits, others, however, concentrate on details. We are all different, and it really doesn't matter if you focus on space travel or work in the fields. What is important is to do what you really want."

I'm being completely honest when I say that I would love to respond to this thread; however the OP's grammar is so poor, I can't understand it... Sorry : (

Thats what bungie.net is for fans of bungie and there games to gather and talk about the games they love. So why are you here?

The next HALO needs to be on the top shelf so little kids can't REACH!

ODST Is amazing the only downfall for me is there isn't any Matchmaking for Firefight!

Im a big CoD Fan! Have been since I played CoD2 Back in 06! I played MW2 for a Month and now I've got back into Halo!

ODST Is Amazing! 4 Player Co-Op and an Unlimited amount of Enemies is fun as hell! and all the Multiplayer maps and Achievements are just Awesome!

Bungie are a great game developer you need to understand! I don't say it cause Im a 'Fanboy' I say it cause its true ..

I mean how many Game Developers add this Much DLC.

How many Game Developers Add a Double XP playlist Every Weekend!

How many Game Developers get Involved with the Community

and How Many Game Developers Make an Amazing site like this one with all the Game Stats and File Shares and everything else!

Think about it dude Bungie are Fantastic! Better than anyone else I know anyway! Way way better than IW! (My Second Fav)

Thats like saying anyone who likes the Xbox 360 is sucking up to Microsoft.

Wow. You're simply full of -blam!- aren't you? Liking a game = sucking up to a games company. Okay then.

Anyone who likes Gears sucks up to Epic Games
Anyone who likes Forza sucks up to T10
Anyone who likes GTA sucks up to Rockstar
Anyone who likes Battlefield sucks up to EA
Anyone who likes CoD/MW2 sucks up to IW and Treyarch

See? I can make up unsubstantiated bull-blam!- too!
