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

Relax. I'd rather not piss this thing off.

The music in ODST seems it took alot of work plus the firefight. Gotta love ODST.

I was in 5th grade. I popped in the Halo CE disc into the massive, clunky first generation Microsoft Xbox, and wrapped my small hands around the controller that was almost too big for me. Little did I know what I was getting into.

10+ years later, I still look up to my childhood hero, Master Chief, while everyone talks about He Man and Spongebob haha

Love ODST. Just kinda felt that at times, the gameplay would be better off with no stamina shield, only limited health to give it a total "human" feeling. Always hoped to fight elites too. But aside from this, it's really nice to not be in the shoes of the chief for once, AND to have first person 'cutscenes'!

I am Scuba Hood I steal from the poor and give to the rich

thing that makes me mad is people who play the game but skip all the cut scenes and just fly through the game

I believe that on easier difficulties, yes the Stamina seems a little over buffed, but it gives you a really nice balance on Heroic and Legendary. With the Elites, I too was disappointed with in inability to fight any.

Elites were too busy in a civil war to care about humnans at that point,however it would be nice to see some elite action,weither they are put on our side or not.

P.S dont know how to properly quote.

I borrowed it off a friend a while back. Ordered in on amazon a few days ago. Really looking forward to exploring new mombasa!

I can't play ODST, sadly. I need to buy a new copy because my old disc got a huge scratch on it when my friend accidently tipped my xbox over. It worked for a little while after that, then just stopped working completely. I would love to play through the campaign again. Luckily, before it broke, I got to complete it on Legendary, though. Also, if you haven't, check out Sadie's Story. It's great.


That is what happened to my Modern Warfare 2 disc about a year ago. Haven't played it since, and i have to say, i am starting to miss it.

Keep an eye out for the subtle hints the Superintendent leaves you such as DETOUR signs and lite pathways.

Speaks to the human spirit; outgunned, but never outmatched. I like that.


The very essence of the game, and the reason why I enjoy it so much.

I liked it!

learning and reading,playing game and shopping online. welcome to the website: http://www.northfaceonline.us/.

I agree with this one-hundred percent. It's very saddening, all things considering. This was a phenomenal game, but so, so underrated.

Halo and Gears of War...best 2 Franchises in the world!!

I find ODST to be a top Halo title. Such a shame many people find it to be horrible.

  • 10.21.2011 4:15 PM PDT

Don't anger me...

I think it is WAY better than Reach. Reach was just a load of crap,

  • 10.23.2011 10:36 AM PDT

Call me Stu

I agree I think I'm right in saying they had little under ayear to come up with a game and they made this I was really happy with what I got it saved me getting the halo 3 map packs and the story and new modes were a added bonus in my eyes.

What's hot, sexy and purple?

Ayane (and the Wraith :-D)

What's so special about the ODSTs?


The ODSt you are playing can punch Brutes with two hits, can jump ridiculously high, rip off turrets, can board vehicles and is able to destroy the hatch of a Wraith tank with blank fists! Yes, you even have a rechargeable shield called "stamina". WTF? Yeah, I know it was made to keep this game a Halo game we all know, but it makes no sense and never wil be.

These guys are spartans, just in black armor. Nothing "human" or anything like that. It's not good or awesome, it's laughable.


The Gameplay
Putting firefight aside, ODST showed us that we can have fun without being a walking tank.


I guess you played another game. What I just described is exactly that what you do all the time in Story or Firefight. Killing countless enemies and of course, the war between humans and covis relies in your hands since you have to get that engineer. Ohhh yeah, what a nice story.....

It's the same stuff we did in Halo 1, 2 and 3. By reducing the story to a single planet in the universe, and not the universe itself, we still have the same clichee story from previous games.
Not to mention these dumb and totally misplaced romance between Buck and Dare. "heh let's throw in an idiotic romance bewteen the two maincharacters cauz the story sucks."

The detective story gameplay is also boring. The backtracking and level receycling is horrible! You play with the Rookie at night and later you are walking the same streets in a flashback. Oh yeah. That's so awesome seeing the same -blam!- over and over again. Oh, and "let's have ANOTHER Warthog race for the last level, like in Halo 1 and Halo 3 cauz we are running out of ideas".

For the rest of the game I can only say that ODST is not an Add-On. It cuts way too much stuff from previous games. Dual Wielding, missing weapons like BR or Sword, missing vehicles like the Prowler and Hornet etc. An Add-On should expand the expierence not taking FUN things out.

Only highlights are FF (in Halo 3 it would be much more fun) and the truely awesome soundtrack.



ODST is just bad. With Halo Reach, worst Halo titles ever made by Bungie. Nearly the whole community flamed this/both game(s)...for some good reasons.

I have to agree. Halo 2 will forever be my favorite Campaign based game, but ODST is a game of its own. It's a game that anyone can pick up and enjoy.
