"It is the cruelest fate, to have written words that meant well and see them made wicked and unwise. What was meant to encourage life, used instead to justify taking it."

Ever notice that it was Halo 3: ODST that gave us Firefight? Along with nightvision, first-person cutscene fragments, and Time/Location captions at the beginning at each level? I just thought it was an interesting thing that some of us take for granted.

Online Gaming's pretty much like a zombie movie. There are a lot of mindless idiots roaming around but you find some survivors on the way.

I personally liked the flash light more than night vision.

Apparently the Master Chief had night vision, we could just never use it (unless we had the sniper rifle).

I think it will be hard for us to have conversations like this until a couple more games come out. There are many other parts of ODST that were used in Reach, like the six person team, or the lack of dual wielding.

When Bungie has made several more games with features like firefight and night vision we will be better able to reminisce about the things that ODST gave us.

They were hardly innovative. I liked first-person voice acting, though. It's a shame Reach didn't really do it at all.

I don't even know why Noble Six had a voice. He never used it, aside from a word once or twice throughout the game.

... all the Reach characters sucked. I'm going to stop now before I start ranting.
