Subject: Why does everyone hate ODST?

Love to write? Need a piece critiqued? Visit Writers' Corner.

Seriously, whenever I see someone post their ranking of the Halo games, ODST is always last, and maybe even something like "CE > H2> H3 > Wars > Reach >>>>>> ODST." Why all the hate? For what it had, ODST was a great game, and its campaign surpasses many others, in my opinion. Mombasa Streets was amazingly open and mysterious, Firefight made its debut, and it was generally a great singleplayer experience! Why all the hate for it?

Do what? I have the Index! You can just float and sputter!

i loved it... just not as much as the others

Just completed it today. Seriously felt like this game is better than Halo 3. There was a plot behind the big awe inspiring scenery that helped fill in the gaping holes left from Halo 3. But, Reach is the pinnacle for the Halo experience.

Does anyone even look at B.net sigs?

Loved it, but maybe it's experience (well the Rookie missions at least) were more personal than the epic campaigns of the original trilogy.

i loved ODST, i was a casual halo fan until i played ODST since then i've become a halo nut

I have to say their are some haters but the majority liked ODST. I would take a guess at the reason is that it only had fire fight for competitive multiplayer and you could not enter a match making like all the other games. In order to complete the achievements you had to work with other people you personally knew to help you play which would be later fixed in reach.

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.

They expected too much.

I don't know why so many say this game was bad. Personally I think it was the best Halo after Halo 3

Do you know what kind of hat I'm wearing?

A party hat; you don't get one. An honor will this party be, a party in your honor, for your honor. Some of Tfear's personal guards are going to be there. You'll be introduced shortly.

Prepare to die.

Most halo fans prefer epic games. Halo ODST was more like a film noir.
I enjoyed it.

I thought it was great.

I STILL can't decide which is my favorite squad member.

If u cant kill it shoot it a bit longer and if that doesn't work get a warthog a mow it down or get a spartan laser and shout its ass off!!!!!!

More people like ODST than hate it but the people who hate it rant on about it so it seems that everyone hates it personnally I think ODST is The best Halo after Reach

Personally I believe that ODST had the best story mode and I certainly hope to see more like it. I think Reach had an okay story mode but it bored me up until the end. The ending was great but could have been better.

play for keeps

I found Odst to be pretty fun. However, the campaign felt short and the absence of compettitive multiplayer was what made me go back to Halo 3.

I don't know why.

It seems they don't like the subtle and emotional story which drives ODST.

''Why you looking at me?''

1. It was a 1 year product, so people will quit -blaming- about reach not out at the time. and was put there for access to the reach beta , take this : Halo 3 beta was accessed by CRACKDOWN

2.theres no way of customize/customise ation in this. its choose a map, choose a difficulty, lets go...

3. the ODST customoze/customise ing . if DLC came out a month later this game will still be ok...

My name is Micheal J. Caboose! And I. Hate. BABIESSS!!

It was epic IMO. But it was made in one summer, to test out fire fight.

  • 12.04.2010 6:39 PM PDT

I'm better than you :P

I loved ODST especially playing around on Mombasa streets.

I am David, but many people call me Daviey, DavieyJones, Dark, or darkshadow. All names are fine really.

Halo is THE Best game series and storyline i have ever known and literally gives me chills just thinking about its in-depth story full of mystery, action, heroism, etc.

Lord spartan GH- i agree bro, it was an amazing game and i love how it was from a regular human's perspective of the war with the covenant, it really shows how much the humans struggled and needed the spartans.

  • 12.04.2010 6:57 PM PDT

I don't mind it, but it felt a bit rushed.

This. When the game released, I got to hear a lot of my friends complain about the lack of online multiplayer, how it used the Halo 3 engine, etc, etc. While most of the people I know who had been up to date on what ODST would be thought it was alright.
