Let it die? ODST was dead on arrival.
Firefight is absolutely AWFUL. I have to force myself to play it for the achievements, and even then I don't want to do it. I have no desire for Recon armor, never did, it looks terrible. The freeroam sections didn't serve the narrative at all, and it's incredibly obvious that the ONLY reason they were included was to waste time and a desperate attempt to lengthen the playthrough of the campaign. People that bought it solely for the new maps got screwed, as we were told that ODST was going to be the only way to attain them. Of course now that ODST sales are basically non-existant, bungie releases them as DLC.
The ONLY redeeming factor for ODST was an invite to the Reach beta, which I obviously can't comment on yet.
Allow me to quote myself from another thread: I know it won't have any real effect, but I'm buying Reach used. I'll gladly wait a week or two to find a copy if it means that Bungie won't see any of my money. I'd rather 60 dollars go to gamestop than 60 dollars go to bungie.
I have never felt that a game has ripped me off as terribly as ODST did.
