Don't Pm me for groups, Cheers!

Now that Firefight is confirmed in Reach, with some heavy upgrades and new features, I have a feeling ODST will now be severely underused ....

It's a shame. The only selling point of this gam... err I mean expansion is the campaign. But was that really worth the price of a full game? I do, but I'm biased.

Bottom line, ODST Firefight will sink into the shadows as Reach takes over. Savage.

I just like that fact that I'm an ODST soldier. But even though both games have Firefight, yes, less people will play it. But how many people do you see playing the game for the good of just playing the game? Almost every single thread in this forum is people looking for players to do the Vidmasters.

I think this game will serve the same purpose it does today. To get Vidmaster achievements. I though, play the game to play the game. When Reach comes out, I'll be playing that a lot. But sometimes I might decide to pop in Halo 3: ODST.

But the Vidmaster reward is given in Halo 3, not Reach, so many people won't see the point.

We Surround Them!

Unfortunately you are correct ... Reach is going to pretty much kill ODST and that's a shame. I really love this game, especially the characters. Dutch is my favourite and really wish he and the other ODST characters would get some kind of a reprise in another game. But unfortunately since Bungie is quitting Halo after Reach, we likely won't see it.

I'm just glad that Firefight will be in Reach. Now I have a good reason to purchase it. I can't stand Matchmaking, mostly because of the opposition one tends to face unless you get an entire group of like-minded people together to party up and play for several hours. Plus I was never keen on the whole idea of Spartans killing other Spartans - just seemed to go against the whole UNSC vs. Covenant thing.
