Subject: Was ODST a good game?

Move Your Bowels.

I had fun. I was jonesing for a new campaign, and though ODST's campaign wasn't as satisfying as, say, Halo 2's, it was still diverting enough. Firefight is okay, but not really my cuppa. I like to survive things. Endless waves upon waves upon waves of foes descending upon you, getting faster and smarter every minute... it gets depressing. That's why I disliked Space Invaders when I was nine. (Yep, just call me Ol' Granddad.) But I'll give it this: Firefight is certainly a handy way for me to brush up on my marksmanship for Campaign.

So Firefight doesn't add a hell of a lot of value for me, but who knows? The Reach beta is an as-yet untested bonus. It might be beyond awesome.

So we got that going for us. Which is nice.

Pretty good I'd say. A little over priced but lets be honest we'd have bought anything for access to the reach beta. At least it wasn't crackdown

Ignore the god awful halo 3 multiplayer and ODST is a decent, albeit short stand alone game.

Deleted...can you leave, kindly? You're pretending to be polite and well-spoken over the internet but I bet you're actually becoming increasingly frustrated at The Iron Mage beating you in the argument. Stop whilst 1% of your dignity remains.

Anyway, I felt that ODST's replayability was restricted by the lack of a Firefight Matchmaking feature, and Custom Games/Forge feature, but hey, it's only an expansion. Price was a bit steep but not that bad. Campaign had a good replayability thanks to the "Mombassa Streets" level, where I enjoy just roaming around, being a stealthy ODST as I sneak past enemies and try to uncover the secrets of the dead Elites and the glyphs near them.

Pros:
+ Campaign
+ Characters
+ Story
+ Firefight
+ Entire Halo 3 Multiplayer Experience

Cons:
- Price
- Short

From my extensive research and investigation, I have come to the conclusion that Halo 3: ODST is a good game. It's still better than a lot of games that came out last year. Also, I blame Microsoft for the pricing. Last, it saved $10 from buying the Mythic II Map Pack.

Totally agree with you !!!

Not really.
The price REALLY killed what should have been a 20 dollar DLC.

The campaign was just basically you running around and shooting things for no reason for most of the game, but since most folks dont care about the story i guess that would have been fine.

Firefight is ok, FOR ME, a survival mode it's a survival mode and unless they do something REALLY interesting with it it's going to get old fast.

The rest was just extra stuff that any person that really plays Halo should have mostly have.

I rarely ever say to get something used but this IS something that you should purchase as an used game for a severely lowered cost.

Someone that does something, somewhere.

Why woudn't I like it?

Nicely written story, decent execution, and plenty of replay value.

As far as I'm concerned, I got my money's worth.
