Not really, ODST was just a little expansion of the Halo story and to give us the mythic maps.

I bought ODST for the story, and firefight. I'm keeping it JUST for the BETA of Reach. I have no use for it, I've 1000'd it and I'd rather not play it, I'll keep it though, the music and voicing is just win, and I've got all the Halo games, so its quite like a little collection. (Its just cause I have mild O.C.D) :)

No one will play ODST, maybe some die hard fans, but I'd rather play Reach, and go back for customs on Halo 3 once in a blue moon. :)

Hello! I'm a male!

Once you've owned ODST for a four days it becomes obsolete. So it's been obsolete since release.

Do you have all the Achievements in ODST? I do. And it certainly took longer than four days.

Don't mourn for ODST, it's only going to be as dead as Halo 2 is.
People will still play the campaign, and even Firefight, for the same reasons people go back to Halo 2 now, either they like it better or want a sense of nostalgia.

  • 02.15.2010 5:46 AM PDT

well i enjoyed odst every bit of the way, firefight never gets old if it did why would bungie put it in reach what would be the point?

as said firefight will be completely different in reach different game play all together, so thats another reason to come back 2 it.

yes reach will have better graphics but if thats all it takes then bungie could make halo 3 over and over again.

they want to tell a story about everything halo no just the chief, i would love to see another odst its different and tells a good story.

Super Mario Galaxy has all the features of your typical Mario game, but people still play Super Mario Brothers. No game ever truly dies.


Old soldiers never die, they just fade away...

Since Reach has firefight, sadly, there will be almost no reason to play ODST except for it's campaign... this kinda makes me sadface.
And that's why I'm here. ;-) Once again, I got another Halo game too late, but that isn't going to stop me from finding new Campaign glitches and Legendary strategies.

Wow, ODST is isn't even alive anymore. How could it be obsolete later. This game lasted maybe 3 weeks for me....

It still has people playing it...so it is alive.

I personally started playing it launch day, but I couldn't buy it so I had to rent it a bunch of times. Renting it, it lasted me til late October. I still wanted it really badly, just couldn't afford to buy or keep renting it. Then I got it for Christmas, and I've played it almost-religiously since. The game is most certainly not "dead".

I can see the ODST players drop but me and my friends have found one interesting thing about ODST. Thats the convoy. Get all the audiofiles do all the ODST missions before Data hive then ride around with snipers, smgs, pistols on monggooses (mongeese/Mongi) and attack convenant patrols. So much fun. Unless Reach copies that.

Has Firefight in Reach actually been confirmed, or is it just your speculation?

I think it's an Speculation, I haven't heard or read about it...

That question was asked in one of the interviews, one of the bungie workers (Marcus Lehto? I forget.) Said they don't deny or confirm it. To me, it sounds like they are tweaking firefight and making it better, into something new.

Hie 'em hard, don't let up, if that don't work use more gun.

It will make all obsolete, like the grav hammer did with the sword!

It took you longer than four days? It only took me three. ODST wasn't a bad game, but when compared to the other Halo games I consider it a flop, especially when priced so high.


That's a lot of Firefight. I love the mode, but definitely not enough to get 200,000 points 8 times in 3 days (along with getting story-related achievements, Endure, etc.). You must be a Fastjack.

I'm just more of an achievement whore. I did them all on easy with a friend.


Ah, same here. I would have done them all in that time period were it not for my lack of ODST-playing friends because I just bought the game in December (rented the hell outta it in September-October, though).

For people going just for the achievements, perhaps. There are some players who feel there is more to a game's enjoyment than getting its achievements. These people enjoy the game while not having any achievements, getting them, and after earning them all.

There are no achievements for Starcraft, Halo CE and Pinball, for instance. That doesn't make these games instantly obsolete to some people. I still play Halo CE, and still enjoy the game. So long as I enjoy it, it won't be obsolete to me.

So goes Halo: ODST, as far as I'm concerned.

For all we know Bungie may keep Firefight an ODST exclusive.
