Ruined is deffinately a harsh word. But I think we can all agree that Call of Duty's series beats Halo's right now.

Halo used to be the most popular game series among shooter games. Everyone prefered it over the Call of Duty franchise. When ODST was coming out, everyone was really excited.

Once it did come out, no one really talked about it. I think players were dissapointed that there was no new Multiplayer, since that is the main think gamers look for in first-person shooters.

Modern Warfare 2 came out around the same time, and that's when most of my friends made the switch and never looked back.

What do you think?

EDIT: I have a strange feeling that most of you didn't read the subject. This isn't asking whether you thought ODST is better than Reach. I'm asking if you think most gamers that were Halo 3 fans moved to CoD because of ODST.

Hell no Reach did not ODST.

"What's up baby, how are you doin'? I hate the sound of my own voice and I been invited here to distract my self from the fact that I wrote all of this garbage."

It ruined nothing. Halo 3 was the first Bungie game with actual competition and as a result it doesn't get the legendary status of Halo 2 and of course CE. ODST comes out with no multiplayer and a $60 price tag and expects to do better?

These are not the informations you are looking for. Unless you're looking for my informations.

Definitely did not ruin the series, even if some fans consider it the bad egg.

I saw it as a metaphorically more "personal" game, due to:

-not being the well known Super Soldier, but rather a small ground squad

-no multiplayer, focusing on single play

-Emotional story

Vengeance only leads to an ongoing cycle of hatred.

Hell. No. It actually made it better. Reach was the one that ruined franchise. Hopefully 343i can bring Halo back on its feet.

Actually, I find that I'm more invincible without pants, which is why I am not wearing any at the moment.

No. I think it was a much needed break from the linear play of most of the Halos.

Hell NO !! ODST is Good maybe not great but still enjoyable !! ... Halo reach is the game that ruined halo franchise !!

ODST was amazing, and I hope Bungie makes more games like that.

Reach did not ruin Halo, it is still an amazing game.

lolno

Halo:CE and Halo 2 (maybe Halo 3) were all superior, but ODST does not suck, I want an ODST 2.

Hello! I'm a male!

ODST was fine. It didn't damage the Halo franchise at all. The only Halo title that has is Halo: reach ....

  • 08.01.2011 5:37 AM PDT

If you count Halo Wars than you're all wrong :D

Halo Wars was a great game, but it underrated because a lot of Halo fans couldn't expand their horizon past FPS's so they automatically started hating on it. Halo Wars didn't damage the Halo series at all. Like said several times already, Reach did.

Best. Ship. Ever!

Considering the train wreck that Reach's story was it definitely wouldn't be ODST.

  • 08.01.2011 7:07 PM PDT

ODST had a more human story than any of the previous Halo titles had. COD doesn't have a story, it's a series of car crashes - if you took the MP out of it there's no way it stands on what it has.

Without ODST you wouldn't have this either

I could watch a 2 hour movie of this easily.

Bad series my butt. It is still a popular game. Call of Duty was franchised more. Halo was the slumdog millionaire the past 3 years and CoD was just a game where you shoot and run and get frustrated when getting pwned?

  • 08.01.2011 9:47 PM PDT

how can ODST ruin the halo franchise cause i think halo ODST is better than halo wars and halo combat envolved and halo 2 hand halo 3 and halo reach put 2gether

  • 08.01.2011 10:05 PM PDT

i kinda agree with u i pvt warhead but i also think that bungie got the most of majority of $ from halo reach i think that ODST is the best halo but reach is the 2nd best

  • 08.01.2011 10:07 PM PDT

ODST is the single best Halo game to date, aside from the original.
