Subject: ODST in my opinion was the best Halo game

The music, the gameplay, the dark, gloomy areas around you, it just made the game so much better than the others i dont know why. I always used the ODST armor parts becasue i felt like i was normal, i would rather have the intellegents and some strength than having the ability to jump 50 feet in the air or pummeling someone a football length away. The game just provided so much fun and all for me even if people say it sucked. But for me it was the best!!! The music from it was the best of the other Halos hands down!

ODST FTW!!!!!!!

not to be rude or anything but halo is supposed to be about spartans not odsts but still its campaign had a dcent story behind it but i think that if they would have A) let you customize your odst more than selecting bucks or the other odsts costume and B) put an online mode it would have had better sells and more fans it was a bad game for extra stuff like online but it was good with its campaign story line so ya its got its ups and downs just like all games do but its a good game but not the best not by far it at leasts beats halo 2 in the campaign area and beats the halo CE xbox version for stuff to do with your friends but not the best or the worst.

Just like the number of licks it takes to get to the center of a Tootsie Pop, the world may never know...except Bungie.

To be fair, what Halo is "about" is the Human-Covenant War. You just happen to play as a SPARTAN for 80% of the games. While playing as a SPARTAN you witness that war and help bring it to an end. You also witness it as an ODST. Yes, you are "right" but you are also "wrong."

Vengeance only leads to an ongoing cycle of hatred.

Agreed. ODST was the best, imo.

lolwut? You clearly haven't delved yourself into the Halo universe, then. It's not just about Spartans. In fact, it's a lot more then that. Just because you play as a Spartan in the most of the games, doesn't mean Halo is just about them. So, not to be rude, but Spartans aren't the only thing Halo is about.

I played Halo 3 the most also. But, I still think ODST is a bit better.

Gotta be something, cuz 'ya can't love nothing.

I agree. ODST had the best campaign IMO and firefight is super fun. Wish there were more vehicle maps for firefight though.

  • 05.18.2011 6:10 PM PDT

Think before you post

Eh, best halo campaign, not best overall

  • 05.18.2011 7:56 PM PDT

odst was good. I personally cant say which was the best halo game cause every one of them is great (even halo wars). So i don't have a favourite.

  • 05.19.2011 1:17 AM PDT

I liked playing as an ODST better than playing as a spartan, they're my favorite.

Yeah, it's not just about Spartans. It's about one Spartan, Spartan-117, who actually makes a difference & saves Earth, while ODST's & marines back on Earth failed at defending New Mombasa. ODSTs, FTW? No! For The Loss! I like the game, just saying though, ODSTs are garbage.

War Never Changes

i wouldnt say ODST is the best but its still very good. I like how it cover what was going on during the events of halo 2. im kind done with the whole your the only one who can save us gig i want to learn more about the unknown hero of the War like the Rookie and Noble 6.

I had the most fun playing the ODST campaign, though the story seemed insignificant when compared to the other three.

Firefight is amazing, and Reach's isn't as fun to me.

The soundtrack was groundbreaking, and Reach's was generic.



Reach was consistently built up as a "character-driven" story, but I completely disagree. Noble Team's dialogue is robotic and monotonous throughout, whereas ODST has great actors portraying the characters. I never felt a connection to Reach's characters, but I definitely did with ODST's.

That, and I believe Joseph Staten did not work on Reach's story or cinematics, which to me showed how important he is to the Halo story. On the other hand, he worked on story development for ODST, which I liked, but wish it would've been more important and dramatic.

ODST > Combat Evolved > Halo 2 > Halo 3 > Reach in terms of campaign to me.

The Seventh, The Heavenly,The Chosen One.

Its better than Reach like, but it can't beat Halo 2. ODST had a great story, I really enjoyed it, great characters. Nathan Fillion is awesome, as is Adam Baldwin and Alan Tudyk, buts that's because I like Firefly, and some of the Firefly references in ODST which are cool (Which is epic ans never should of got cancelled) and Nathan Fillion was awesome in 2 guys a girl and a pizza place.

All the characters were good in ODST, unlike Reach, i didn't care for any character in Reach, apart from Emile, i just thought he was cool, apart from when all he does is try and shotgun people from miles away.

Dyor' Docuree (2nd in command of the powerhouse, The Sangheili Army)

To be honest, I really enjoyed the ODST campaign. For a game add-on, I thought it was an excellent job they did, telling of a quick story of Earth after Halo 2. I really did enjoy the game, but it really lacked the staying power that other games seem to hold.

Thus he came alone to Angband's gates, and he sounded his horn, and smote once more upon the brazen doors, and challenged Morgoth to come forth in single combat. And Morgoth came.

I agree. The blending of music and environment was flawless.

agreed Halo 2 and ODST were the best of the Halo franchise, wish others thought the same.

My god man go back to elementary school. That was an assault on my eyes reading that.

OT: ODST to me had the second best campaign (halo CE having the best) and its firefight was much better than Halo Reach's

You seem to be missing the whole idea also. It's not just about Master Chief. Okay, we play as him in three games. He's an awesome hero and all. But, look at the universe. Look at the canon. Short stories about Marines, ODST, Spartans, and Civilian. It's not about one group of military unit. It's about the whole Halo universe. Not just one thing. I don't think you delved yourself in the Haloverse, either, to be honest.

Also, ODST pulled a lot of weight during the war and they did it all without the latest technology that the Spartans got.
