Country: United States.

I graduated from high school on June-11-2011. I'm 19 right now. I'm turning 20 in December. I like playing video games, and board games. I like reading Sci-Fi, and World War II novels, and what not.

"There is nothing better in the world than being better at a video game than someone else....oh wait"

I found the game fun. I like how we can chose which item to discovery in any order. I like the firefight.

But the gameplay killed the game for me. We're suppose to be regular Humans. But the gameplay is basically the same for the Spartans.

-Stamina acts as your energy shields.
-We can run around with machine gun turrets, and plasma turrets.
-We can use the gravity hammer.
-We can survive falling from great heights. (For example when we jumped out of the HEV pod.)
-We can melee a Brute to death.

Multiplayer != Campaign

It was better than Reach, and the score was better than any halo other than 2.

I personally enjoyed this game! The music, oh god, I can not talk enough about why the music is so great.

I really like ODST and i find it a good challenge, it's a pity it could'nt be brought update, eg: Firefighter MP, it would be fantastic!!!

  • 08.22.2011 9:38 AM PDT

I completely agree! The story is easily my favorite out of all the Halo games. I think it's kind of lame that barely anyone likes this game, I mean most of the hardcore Halo fans I know even love the game.

  • 08.22.2011 7:27 PM PDT

And thus, I refute thee.

ODST is art. It ain't everyone's cup of tea.

  • 08.23.2011 11:50 PM PDT

i loved ODST, have the music CD and everything, i love the game and appreciate it, but i prefer to walk in the halo storyline as a superior soilder

Have faith in me

Yea, I really liked the campaign and firefight, but it was just a little different from Halio 3. ODST's seem less trained to me. They cant jump from heights and its just a such confusing campaign. It doesnt STINK, but I think there were better games of Halo. Also, its just a add-on to Halo 3. Its basically supposed to be united with it, should I say. So, big deal its not the best, Halo is so popular, ODST affected none of it.

  • 08.24.2011 5:32 AM PDT

I must admit it isn't hard to see all the points you stated in the game but I suppose some players aren't as attentive to story and subtle features in the environment.

Hanger one I just shredded with the SMGs until ammo was out and I just threw 'nades like a boss while BRing.

My experience playing Cairo Station on Legendary

For whatever reason this bothers me. Any true fan to series itself would understand the leap of faith Bungie took, and the creation that resulted. ODST is, in my opinion, more of a Halo title than Reach. It envolved Halo elements, kept very core game play elements while seamlessly introducing new characters.

Just wish people appreciated it more. Hell, even my bro, a devoted Halo fan. Doesn't really class it in the same league as Halo.
As for the lack of multiplayer, I'm glad there was none. I mainly say this because I look at how tiresome it would get. Halo: Reach SWAT is as close as you're going to get. You're movement speed is slow, like an ODST's, and you can't jump as high as any other Halo player, even lower than an ODST. (Don't believe me, try jumping on top of a large UNSE crate in ODST, then Reach. Reach player models can just barely make it while ODST's can make it with general ease)

The campaign was indeed short and sweet, and they could have embellished it more, but I'm not really complaining. I suppose it's better to be fully satisfied with what you have, then to ask for more and be disappointed.

The only two problems for ODST in my mind were: a, no multiplayer matchmaking for ODST and b, the should have been more levels to the campaign. Despite these, I still enjoy ODST and hope for a sequel/prequel/spinoff as a future game between the new trilogy of Halo games.

Yeah. Most of you cant even make something as GOOD as Bungie can. Yes, Bungie has made better games, but ODST has a great storyline. I love how they dont have Master Chief in this. Im not hating but, Halo cant be evovled around only Master Chief. Its nice there's another warrior we can trust to fight the Covenant. ODST is a well made game, with the add-on maps to Halo 3, the Firefight and the Campaign.

ODST was a great game. The campaign was short but sweet, and firefight is the best addition ever made to any Halo sequel.

ODST is great. I loved the silenced and scoped SMG and pistol. Brings back memories of H1 and H2.

ODST offers a more human perspective of halo and a tactical game instead of having overshields to protect you

In memory of those fallen in the defense of Earth and her colonies.

It is one of the best stories in the Halo series.

Second best IMO

I agree with this one-hundred percent. The thing that's sad...Not many people will see this, which is a damn shame. People have just forgot about ODST and moved on. It's very saddening, all things considering. This was a phenomenal game, but so, so underrated. I deserves just as much praise as any other great Halo game.

Is this any different than CoD where they highlight your task in bright yellow. For instance when you have to press a button. If only games were like Duke Nukem 3D where you weren't told anything, and it had to be solved on your own.
