tl;dr for some -blam!- reason: This game was great
Somebody stole my Reach disc, so I've been catching up on Halo 3. One day, I was completely pissed off that I could not play any of the playlists. So I bought ODST.
I bought this game on Ebay a couple days ago for 5 bucks, and it has been great so far. Let me tell you why.
Campaign
Positivies
-Explorations
-Visr Mode
-Cool Missions
-SMG, no retarded bloom means you can burst fire at jackals across the map and kill them. :)
Negatives
-Too short. I was done with Buck's mission just as I was getting warmed up. :( If this campaign would have been longer, this would have been perfect.
Firefight
A super cool mode. Lost Platoon is by far, the best Firefight map I have ever played. I love zooming around in the warthog, with my friend nailing grunts left and right. An extremely fun experience.
I remember, on Rally, I had 0 lives left. I had no stamina, and I was being pushed outside by hunters. I tossed a plasma, killed it, and then spun around to meet dozens of Drones. I died epicly. In Reach's firefight, I normally cruise around with unlimited jetpack and rockets. Not... as challenging.
Multiplayer
Same as Classic Halo 3. I hadn't used my money to buy the DLC, so the opened up world of DLC just blew me away. No longer did I have to play Pit Stop over and over and over again. I could play new maps, and explore new and cool places.
If I had already bought the DLC, ODST would not have been as good as it had been if I didn't buy the DLC.
So yeah. ODST is great. Really fun and exciting.
I have some ideas for ODST 2.
-Longer Campaign
-New, Splinter Cell teamwork type stealth multiplayer
-New Engine for larger Firefight modes + Allied Marines
-The open world campaign lets you engage in more missions and battles
-Let you go into space, and be able to drop into the world, that cutscene in the beginning of ODSt was super cool.
-Other worlds like Halo, Reach, Earth, and.. perhaps Onyx, where you can fight Forerunners.
-[other ideas]
And... thats it. Pretty cool game. Comment below on what you think/troll , and DON'T LET THIS THREAD DIE
EDIT- Wat?! No trolls yet?
