Subject: Going back, you'll appreciate it a whole lot more

Well, the other day I decided to go through ODST on Legendary with my brother, and I have to say it was a lot of fun. It was so nice to get away from, what seem at times, the super macho seriousness of Reach and just indulge in some "classic" Halo for a while. The weapons, HUD, enemies...it was very fun. I realised just how expansive New Mombasa was, although of course I prefer the levels where you play as the rest of the ODST team. Instead of having weirdly accented Spartans that are supposed to die honourably, you have whimsical, funny ODST squad mates who look out for each other.

It was hilarious that the only way you could avoid getting blasted with a Banshee or Wraith was to just jump-run. No sprint, no jet-pack, just walk and run and hope.

I know this is nothing new, but this forum seems full of much more positive posts than the Reach board, which can get pretty boring to keep reading. I even put my controls to Recon on Reach because hell, it just works better. I feel like I've played Halo 3 to death, and pretty much have everything I can out of that game (some Ranked FFA achievements still need unlocking but bleh). I also think now that ODST probably has the best selection of weapons over the Halo games. Scoped SMG!

I've popped up in here saying about Vidmasters, but honestly I wish either a "sequel" or DLC could be dropped for this game because the campaign is a lot more enjoyable than Reach's was, and even the Firefight achievements are fun, because you're there for ages. Somehow FF LTD on Reach is no where near the same.
