I would suggest ODST for the multiplayer disc. If you want to play the Halo 3 campaign just borrow from a friend or something.

definitley ODST because it comes with a halo 3 mythic disc, which is halo 3 multiplayer with every single map.

it will be cheaper than buying halo 3 and then all the map packs seperatley.

Buy ODST. The Halo 3 campaign was great though, so I recommend borrowing/renting that too.

And there was one screenshot that had four Spec Ops Elites armed with Energy Swords on Legendary but it's lost. :(

Note: This is not spamming. Each link links to a different link containing a video or screenshot of a Halo 3 glitch, battle (i.e. Hunters vs. 10-20 Flood combat forms, which I also lost), or wtf moments.

Hopefully, this should be able to change your mind about Halo 3 ODST. If it doesn't, then I'm afraid there isn't much I can do for you.

Edit:

Unless, of course, you want the Halo 3 multiplayer maps. Then get ODST.

Yes, get Halo 3. It is so much better then Reach.


This. Although ODST is worth picking up.

So do all who live to see such times, but that is not for them to decide. All we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given to us.

Get every single Halo game. From Halo 1 - Reach.

I assassinated a bugger in Reach. It asploded! (No knife involved, just a smash to the back).

I'm also a XBOX Live Silver Member now. :( No more cR for me.

Hey guys. I'm only going to play Campaign. So which Campaign is better?

Like Decimator Omega said, get them all.

But if you've played Halo CE and 2 before, get Halo 3, but if you've never played them before, which I somewhat doubt, then you should get them, then get Halo 3. Then you can go and get Halo 3: ODST, but if you really don't want to get CE and 2, it's a toss up, but you won't really understand Halo 3's campaign.

Halo 3 by far. As you can see people are only suggesting ODST for the multiplayer. The ODST campaign is horrible.

I have both but the ODST plot line is terrible

If you want to finish the fight for campaign H3, however if your looking for mp, get ODST the campaign isn;t as great but you get all the H3 maps

Prepare To Drop!

Its a bit difficult to say since the ommunity can be greatly divided over which was better.

Basically what it amounts to is if you want to see how the story of the human covenant war ends, play Halo 3.

ODST doesn't follow the Chief but the Rookie and introduces a lot of different changes to Halo. I loved them all but not everyone did. They included the game taking place mostly at night, the near open world concept of New Mombasa and includes the original Firefight.

I'd honestly either flip a coin or shop around and see which will be cheapest during black friday deals

Need achievements?

If you are only getting one then I would say Halo 3, but ODST isn't bad either.

Previously Iwannarealhog since 2004....

It is probably the best game of all time. Seriously. ODST is also incredible, just cannot understand how some reviewers underated it?

I love Reach, but actually prefer 3 and ODST....

  • 11.21.2010 3:19 PM PDT

The best defense is a good one.

halo odst unless you havent played 3's campaign

  • 11.21.2010 3:28 PM PDT

Heroes never die.

halo 3 odst comes with halo 3 odst and halo 3 mythic witch has all maps no campaign than halo 3 comes with campaign no map packs so get microsoft points.

H3's campaign. but... why? Halo 3 has the best Multiplayer of any game ever (in my opinion) :P

  • 11.21.2010 3:44 PM PDT

I Retired Gears of War 2, Sold it to buy Halo 3. And I have not had this much fun playing Video Games in a long time :)
Now that Halo Reach is out. My life has never been better.
Thanks Bungie.

I would concider Reach because that is where more poeple are going to play. But then again Halo 3 is better. If you get Halo ODST you get the matchmaking for Halo 3, but you can't play campaign. So it depends on what you want to play.

Halo 3 is worth buying. It has much more replayability than Reach. Though, if you do not care about Campaign, I would get ODST, just so you have access to all the maps on one disk for MP.

I personally enjoyed ODST and Halo 3 a lot, but many people (to me) seem to be quite disappointed with their ODST experience. Halo 3 is cheaper now anyways, so you might as well buy it.
