Glory and fame, blood is our name!
Souls full of thunder, hearts of steel!
Killers of men, a warrior's friend!
Sworn to avenge our fallen brothers!
Sons of the gods, today we shall die.
Open Valhalla's door!
Let the battle begin, with swords in the wind! Hail Gods of War!

Overall lack of post-release support.

"Dude, what are you doing right now?"
"Uhh... Heh, my mom."
"Dude... What?"

Though I partially blame Stosh at this point, I do believe Infinity Ward's eagerness to overcome Microsoft and Bungie beat out this young software's chances of popularity.

The fact that most people bought it solely for the Halo 3 multiplayer disc.

When I die please bury me deep!
Place an MA5 down by my feet!Don't cry for me, don't shed no tear!
Just pack my box with PT gear!
'Cuz one early morning 'bout zero-five!
The ground will rumble, there'll be lightning in the sky!
Don't you worry, don't come undone!It's just my ghost on a PT run!

the fact that fire fight cant be played like matchmaking

Many people crave matchmaking. You can't play campaign continuously as you can with multiplayer I suppose. Even still, I play the game on occasion and still enjoy it.

Pioneer and Enthusiast for Halo 3.

Wheres the BR votes?

Final Fantasy XIII

Most ppl bought ODST for the Vidmasters (I know I did) And the Reach beta.

Campaign is too boring for repeative play, plus firefight can only entertain players for so long. After you get VidMaster Endure it kinda losses its touch.
That should pretty much sum up why ODST died/dieing.

Lack of a Competitive Multiplayer.

Firefight is just Co-Op. Even with Matchmaking I surmise it was doomed to death once all the players looking for Achievements finished with it.

I like how the poll has no options for it being a failed game in its own rights ... guess most people will go for a default vote of "no friends".

Even funnier to see how COD envy also comes into play.
I mean, how can any other game be blamed for the failure of ODST?!?!

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.

Honest answer? It just wasn't that good.

What a hipster.

I think it is because the lack of matchmaking and gameplay experience.

The fact that it started out as an expansion, and they tried to force it to fill the role of a full game. I blame Microsoft more than anyone.

It needed multiplayer.

The fact that it cost $60, despite it being an expansion pack.

  • 03.31.2010 10:24 AM PDT

Mainly that it was just campaign, which people don't play for too long regardless, and although Firefight was a good addition, you had the same maps and held the same positions for hours on end. People want matchmaking and a more competitive surrounding than ODST gave, not that it was really meant to be.

The Marty Army

Believe.

lack of friends playing firefight.

I am so not a raper.

For me it was no duel-weilding(they could pick up and properly use a turret,but couldn't duel-weild.....WTF?) and no matchmaking for firefight.
