Many people who play halo say that ODST is the worst in the Halo series, but I totally disagree with them. People say "Oh your not a spartan you suck"! But who cares, marines, Spartans, AND ODST's ALL saved humanity. There was only a few spartans and without the marines and ODST's help, Master chief could have never saved humanity. But really, ODST is a great game the campaign kicks ass, firefight is awsome because, in my opinion, is more challenging than Reach's, and overall it's an awesome game. Really, ODST ranks up as one of the best next to Reach and Halo 2. What do you guys think?

Shoryuken!

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

Reach is on the bottom of my list for favorite Halo games, unless you count Halo Wars.

ODST: Main reason people look down upon it is because it has no Matchmaking.

Personally I liked Halo 2 and ODST the best, then the rest.

Probably because it didn't have any matchmaking since the Halo 3 campaign engine couldn't support it. This is probably why it didn't sell so well.

I am goner.. I can't use my Xbox 360 because my profile that contains my Xbox Live support has been corrupted.
I can't remember my password and the secret word....

No one can help me.. Not even bungie....

My gamertag was: " Dark Assassin9O ".

I agree with these Players..thousands of players hate it because: 1- There is no matchmaking, 2- There is a achievement that takes forever to unlock (Endure), 3- Very often it lags since there is no more matchmaking at that time...Well thats what i think, But i also like this game as the best..Lets say at little more update than Halo 3..

It's one of my favourites, it has a great story-line, new weapons, new feel. The sensation you get when playing it is extreme; I genuinely feel nervous when walking through the streets - almost as if I would actually die! A game that can pull that off deserves a lot more credit.

The main reason is: Too short...

Can't argue with that.

The Campaign is awesome, but insultingly short.

I love the game too. I just wished it lived up to its price tag by having the features of a full Halo game.

I understand nothing because my life is a conspiracy.

ODST had an awesome campaign, as well as every other Halo game. If it had a multiplayer it would be better, but it is still great.

  • 04.13.2011 10:53 AM PDT

rule of thumb: double tap

no matchmaking, it has every other halo game beat in every way

  • 04.13.2011 12:07 PM PDT

Vengeance only leads to an ongoing cycle of hatred.

Halo 3 > Halo 3: ODST > Halo Wars > Halo 2 > Halo: CE > Halo: Reach.

People didn't like ODST was because of the price tag. $60 for a pretty short campaign, no matchmaking, not many features.

However, if people were smart, they'd realize what a genuine campaign ODST even though it was a bit short. Also, ODST's Firefight, although it lacked MM, was amazing and better then Reach's. In fact, the lack of MM was probably better because this way you can have fun and/or play tactically with your friend instead of a bunch of randoms.

Please, no hurt! Me like Elites. Brutes stinky bad bad. Me stay here, make sure no Brutes come behind mighty Arbiter. Heh, heh... Eh?

Because it was the first "Different" Halo FPS Game
I think it is a awesome game!
ODST Firefight>Reach firefight

Halo 2>Halo Reach>Halo CE>halo 3

1. People just wouldn't look past the price tag, there was a time I wouldn't either but then I realized how good it was.

2. People hated the fact it no matchmaking.

  • 04.13.2011 1:05 PM PDT

I personally loved this game. It was amazing a breath of fresh air. It also gave me that Halo 2 vibe.

I love it. It has a great storyline and atmosphere. If there was going to be a halo movie, I'd like to see ODST become it.

ODST...

No matchmaking

Nonsensical plot (magical detective abilities anyone?)

Bad acting on everyone's but Nathan Fillian's part

Kept the silent hero, without the proper badass-ness that Chief had

$60 price (Obviously Micro$oft's fault, but still)

And after you got the easy achievements two weeks after release there was absolutely no incentive to play

  • 04.13.2011 2:15 PM PDT

I like Call of Duty and Gears of War, AND Halo. Why must everyone else like only one or the other?

My guess is most of it is because it was $60 for an expansion pack. Great campaign, tied with Halo 2 for the best, but very short. No new multiplayer, just some extra maps for Halo 3. The addition of Firefight, but no matchmaking for it and no customization of it. I also think for some people it was about not being a spartan anymore.

Yea I loved the campaign but really, i mean it was going to be an expansion, but it turned out to be a FULL packed campaign. It was awsome. Yea, firefight needed some matchmaking but whats so wrong not being a spartan? ODST's kick ass too. In my opinion I love firefight in ODST way better than Reach. Don't get me wrong i still like Reach's

The Spartan 1 Project

It was overhyped and microsoft made what was going to be a DLC into a 60$ game.

Im actually playing it right now, its really fun.

The Below Sentence is True.
The Above Sentence is False.

The campaign sucks because you cant even see the BLAM'n screen on the brightest setting.

QFT You sir have said the end all statement.

It would have been great DLC, but instead MS decided to turn it into a full game.
