I wish they could make a sequel or something. It was such a short-lived experience. I hope 343 expands on the concept and adds customization, Forge, etc.

Agreed, a mission where you play in an ODST squad right around when Master Chief is returning to Earth, and you go to find him.

Or maybe just some missions that were going on while MC was doing stuff.

AFK: Away from Kontroller. Don't do it or you'll get the living crap smacked out of you by the Banhammer. If you disagree with any of this, you are just bad at Mortal Kombat.

ODST may be underrated, but its still a really good me. Me loves it :P

Art direction, setting (noir ftw) music, actual characterization and personalities (yeah they were cliche but it wasn't a bad thing) and FF.

ODST: Home of the brave, the free and the Bip Bap Bam!

I love Halo 3: ODST it was only the baby 8 year old Matchmaking Whores who hated it.

Peace and Love

ODST had an amazing Campaign and I loved firefight

I've always hated the cod campaign because it was always switching around and the characters didnt feel important

but ODST managed to switch around perfectly (in my opinion)
and had a very rich story

No Halo Wars was the dumbest and most underrated.

I really liked the way the story was represented in ODST through flashbacks and all that. I never get bored of firefight either. All in all, one awesome game.

The only problem I can find with ODST is the price, £35ish pounds is a lot for a short game with no multiplayer, but this point is nul as I had none of the H3 maps when I got ODST, so I essentially was only paying £15 as I would've bought the maps anyway but ODST saved me from needing to do that.

Not to mention that anyone who kept up with the ODST info knew what they were getting, and for what price. If you were discontent with it, but you still bought it anyway, that's really your fault.

I bought ODST knewing that I was going to get a side project.

Funny thing is, out of all the Halo games, the only thing I really have to complain about with ODST is its length. So many people have issues with it, yet I find it to be the most stable Halo game.

smart, interesting, seems out of place.


Official fan of Assassin's Creed, Call of Duty, (Problem with that?) Halo, and Bungie, also a total gaming junkie.

Best Halo game ever. First 360 game I ever played.

In terms of campaign, it was definitely the most unique and the most fun. I wish that Bungie had more time to develop it into a full-fledged game; it would've been amazing.

ODST has the best campaign, Reach has the best multiplayer.

You seriously haven't even played Halo 1's campaign or Halo 2's Multiplayer,LMAO.Your delusion is quite in the ironic spot.

slay the noobs

I always found ODST entertaining. It wasn't just run and gun, you actually had too look around and think about what you were gonna do next(Atleast when looking for the clues) It also showed alittle of Halo 2s storyline just from a different perspective.

  • 12.21.2010 12:34 AM PDT

Halo Wars is the most underrated actually.

Major C.B.

The beauty of ODST is its spontaneity... Don't ruin that. No ODST 2 is necessary. I'm honestly glad it's a one-off, because every time Bungie had a really good formula, it seems like they misunderstood why the formula was good, and so, in trying to recreate it for the sequel, they screw up.

Examples:

Halo: Combat Evoled campaign was a great experience. Halo 2 tried to recreate it, and completely refined the previous staples, in a bad way.

Halo 2 had great maps and competitive multiplayer. When Bungie tried to expand on it with Halo 3, we got jokes of equipment, really unbalanced maps, and the overpowered, unfixable BR.

Halo 3 added Forge. When trying to make this better for Reach, Bungie made only one map ideally Forgeable, but forgot to add a diverse palette to it.

ODST added Firefight. When Bungie expanded it in Reach, they forgot how to write a netcode, as well as how to build an engaging, survival-based experience with camp points on their maps. Reach Firefight got the "arcade-y" "kill everything as fast as you can, and don't worry about lives because this is a one-off round with infinite ammo and lives, so disregard resource management."

See my point? ODST was a pleasant break from Bungie's "refinement" habits. Surely if anybody tried replicating it (343 is a lot of former Bungie workers), they would surely give it the same treatment.

Shoryuken!

Mythic Mode Progress on Reach:
Winter Contingency, perfection.
Other levels in progress.

I love ODST, first Halo game I got for the 360.
Now if they could only incorporate ODST's firefight set up in Reach, perhaps people would be more satisfied with the game.
Plus the campaigns were good, however, ODST's was much better.

True. Nothing else in Halo was anything close to Mombasa Streets. The atmosphere was great too.

  • 12.22.2010 2:11 PM PDT

I have honestly thought about replaying it as i had heaps of fun roaming around new mombassa
