Subject: Do you think ODST is better than Halo 3

The only thing that is keeping me from saying straight out yes is that fire fight and campaign had no matchmaking system in ODST which no one on my huge friends list plays, so It gets really boring playing by yourself all the time. :(

RHONDA GRRL!

I don't know if I could even compare them to each other. They both hold a certain place in my gaming memories like the first time I ever played firefight in ODST with 3 of my friends. Or the first time I got the brute hammer in campaign and destroyed everything.

They are both terrific games.

If, on the other hand, we are talking about play time, than it would have to be halo 3 for the fact alone that I have played thousands of matchmaking and customs games.

I hate signatures :)

Everyone has said it. No matchmaking. Less longevity.

Pioneer and Enthusiast for Halo 3.

It really depends on what angle your looking at. Features for ODST such as; Firefight was incredible! Sad to say, but everything was just terrible. Campaign was worse than god knows what, and no forge?

Honestly, Halo Combat Evolved and H2 PC Are hard to be beat! They both have great campaign, and their an all time classic. Xbox versions are real nice, however Xbox Live was disabled April 15th.

So honestly, ODST Was terrible.

different game. No master chief. Silly health pack nonsense. It's just not Halo!

I don't even classify ODST as a game, I classify it as a lazily developed rip off.
I second that notion. All who agree?

I think odst looks god awful. Whatever bungie was trying to accomplish with the anti aliasing was a complete fail. borderlands look = no thanks. as far as the rest of it goes...its 99% of the same shaders, textures, and models from Halo 3. Its just a mod of h3 imo. Glad i waited to try it out at my friends house instead of buying the fail thing for 60 fricken dollars. Odst is a complete rip off as far as I'm concerned.

You do realize that Halo 3: ODST was simply an expansion pack to Halo 3 and used the same game engine as Halo 3 (hence the "3" in "Halo 3: ODST"), right...?
When do expansions cost full game price? ...

Feeling one or the other is better is obviously a very subjective matter. That being said I appreciate everything ODST brought to the table. It had a very interesting and human/Earth-centric story with a very moody atmosphere. If anything is was a refreshing change of pace. Instead of a half ton walking tank you're just the best of the best spec-ops soldier who is very vulnerable. That and Firefight is hella fun.

if you want to play in earth then play halo 2 and 3!! halo 2 has 2 levels in earth and halo 3 has 5 levels in earth!

odst = better campaign
halo 3 = better online play
but most people just play online so i guess that halo 3 is better

  • 07.05.2010 8:01 PM PDT

-K

While I do think I enjoyed Halo Three more, Halo Three ODST definitely has some great parts!

First off, The music is intriguing, It makes you understand the hopelessness of the fight, And hearing it in an abandoned city is quite mystical.

Then with the introduction of the Engineer, The silenced weapons, And bringing back the Brute Plasma Rifle, It was made even better.

These things make it good in it's own way, So I wouldn't say it was a bad game, Just not as good as Halo Three.:)

I thought ODST was awesome, only complaints are that the campaign was too short and running around all over Mombasa was kinda ridiculous...

no ODST was so bad. Wasted my money honestly...

only thing worth it was invitation to reach beta.
The big reason for odst to give bungie money to make reach bigger and better and to get fire fight out there

Have no LIVE, but got skills. Go 7th column, figh7 for 7he 7ru7h!

ODST comes with all maps, matchmaking, custom games, firefight, a better campaign and a way to get recon without being a member. You musn't forget the second disc! Oh, and an invitation to the Reach Beta.
