I'm watching you.

The people who slam it only make up a small percentage of the population. There are many people who think it's a great game including myself.

I think it needs objective FF & some DLC maps, the lack of MM was its main downfall really. I Still love playing it honestly- funny I'm actually playing ODST INSTEAD of MWF2, the game that is supposivly way better than H3.

ODST is actually my favorite Halo game to date

Every new day is a gift, it's a song of redemption.

I love playing ODST. I still go through the campaign with friends just because I love it. I agree that more Firefight maps would be awesome though. But seeing as there aren't many places to choose from in the ODST campaign it would be kind of hard, I assume.

I'm 23, I have a house, dog, girlfriend, job and I have no interest in any fanboyism so if you're thinking about sending me a childish PM, don't be surprised when I don't call back.

It's a perfectly fine game, compared with the other Halo games however it doesn't measure up. That's why it got slammed.

The lack of MM made it even better. I found it to be more fun finding people on Bungie.net for good people to get endure / deja vu with. It's also more fun with friends rather than randoms. If you want a quick match advertise on Bungie.net and accept people rather than just get given people.

I just started ODST, and I don't know why people think it's so bad! It's a great game so far, why wouldn't someone like it? Maybe it's because nobody's used to having no sheilds, but you get used to it. GO ODST!!!

I agree, to. But it's also fun playing in the campain and then it's firefight map, and noticing that they are the same!
If Bungie added more maps, then you may not be able to do that for every map.

Can't be too careful with your company. I can feel the devil walking next to me.

For me, the story didn't quite get me. I didn't feel for the characters. The Rookie had no personality, and thus no links for me. As for the other characters, they really weren't fleshed out completely. The environment in the city felt cramped, because I couldn't go in any buildings. The nighttime music only played every 15 minutes or so.

And a neat little addition would be after x amount of time not fighting in the city, you lower your weapon. It's the little things that make a big difference in the long run.

It definitely filled a gap between H2 & H3. I loved its premise and I like Firefight.

My only issue is the lag. I have friends Stateside and its nearly impossible to get a lag-free 3-4 person game going. More often than not it forces us to play H3 MM because of that.

The game was good but what I think people don't like about it is there is no Multiplayer.

What are you people doing in my home.

the story is short but it is a good game

  • 03.18.2010 2:08 PM PDT

I don't get it either.

(random yet funny signature goes here)

It's a good game. I just don't think the 60 dollar tag justifies the game if you already had halo 3 and the dlc maps released up to the point of ODST. If you don't have halo 3 already, then the 60 is fair.

I'd buy it when it drops down to the Platinum Hits and gets a price drop, if it ever does. Until then, nah. But I'm not bashing the game it was really well done and written and the best mythos game released so far. That said I probably wouldn't pay 20 bucks for a 300 page paper back novel even if it's well written by a renowned author. Same with this game.

If only it had Multi Player Match Making. I loved the campaign though. I thought it was the best campaign to ever come to a Halo game. To bad it had to be so short though :(

I was #1 for a lot of campaign things on Halo Charts until I started playing more of H3. I was #1 for things like most Banshee kills, Ghost kills, Scorpion kills and I had killed every type of enemy the most. Aww, I wish I had kept that up, it showed how much I loved the campaign :) I'm still in the top 50 for a lot of things though, surprisingly.
