Oh, bum- diddly!

To be perfectly honest with you, I bought ODST thinking that it was the same as Halo 3 but with a little bit extra. ODST was my first Halo game, that's why. I guess the only reason I didn't take it back was for the Reach beta and the complete multiplayer expansion. The campaign and firefight really, really sucked though. I didn't know what was going on when I started, and the dark city was just plain annoying and ugly.

I thought it was an excellent game, shouldn't have been priced as a full game, but good nonetheless. Besides the hours into firefight, campaign, and achievements I enjoyed it. To add it cleared up a lot of space on my hard drive with the mythic disc, and it has the beta on it. Seemed like a win to me.

What a hipster.

I loved ODST because I like seeing the different viewpoints of people.

Soon to be breaking news:


US Coast Guard prepares for massive rescue mission after Iranian fleet sinks off shore. Reports say a small thunderstorm caused most of the ships to simply...fall apart.

-Campaign 4-6 hours (if that) | Maybe if you didn't do speed runs on new games, you wouldn't notice how short it would be. If it has replay value, the campaign doesn't have to be long.

-Firefight not as good as it was meant to be | I liked it. Don't set your expectations too high.

-Halo 3 engine...WTF | It's called HALO 3: ODST for a reason.

-No multiplayer besides firefight | Adding multiplayer would've pushed the game back months.

I bought ODST knowing all these things why? I bought it for the Reach beta. On May 3rd I will find out if it was disappointing or worth it.

Personally I thought ODST was one of the best Halo games yet. It was well worth the price.

One of the main things that really made it stand out for me was the unique style of storytelling that was used. The characters were also very believable, very... Human. I was able to connect with each character's personality. They really seemed like a team.

The only disappointing thing about it was the lack of matchmaking for Firefight. Otherwise, the game was neigh perfect.

10/10
