Subject: Should I get ODST?

I know what the ladies like. -Sgtma A. Johnson

What do you think? I have CE, 2, 3, and Reach and I'm wondering, should I get ODST or not?

Considering how cheap you can get it now I would say yes. The campaign is great and firefight is more fun in ODST than Reach IMO.

Imagine a triangle. It's perfect, but a little plain. You take a chisel, and carve a small decorative symbol into it to make it a little more interesting. People like it, but it could use a little more.

So you then take a sledgehammer..

Yes. Excellent campaign and you get Halo 3 MP+All of the map packs.

Jack of all trades, master of none.

Yeah, it's a good game and I'm in the middle of completing it Legendary for the 3rd time. It will be the 5th time that I've actually done it though, excluding searching for the Audio files.

I respect your opinion, I'm probably just going to disagree with it.

I'm actually inclined to say I prefer it to Reach. Sure, it doesn't have a true online service (if you don;t count the Halo 3 disc) but as mentioned, I found the Firefight much more fun, it's more atmospheric, has a more interesting art direction and the campaign actually makes sense and isn't completely riddled with plot holes. Then again I am horrifically biased...

Do you like Yax? I do.

Yes, it's a great game. I think you can get it for $15 new on Amazon.

Vengeance only leads to an ongoing cycle of hatred.

It has the best story out of any Halo game, in my opinion. But, if you're more of a multiplayer kind of player, I wouldn't get it. Firefight (with or without friends) is really fun. But, it's more focused on the campaign. (Which should be the case for every game, imo.) So, if you're not into the Halo lore, I wouldn't buy it. If you are, it's a must.

This is a RETICULE, and that is a RETICLE. I'm using the latter to aim. And what are you using?

Yes, you should definitely get it. Not only because it's quite cheap now, but also to complete your Halo game collection. Well, at least the Halo games Bungie made.

Seriously though, ODST's campaign is by far my favorite. Although quite many people seem to dislike it because you're not playing the Master Chief or another Spartan but basically a regular soldier (meaning a normal human being and not an augmented super soldier), that's what I actually like about ODST. As someone (Joseph Staten?) said in an ODST vidoc, "Master Chief has become ridiculously powerful."

20 bucks, a great campaign, decent graphics, and an awesome firefight challenge. Yes you should definitely get ODST. Plus you get a combo pack that comes with all the mythic maps, which are awesome.
