ODST IS NOT A GAME


reach is not a -blam!- game, it just has -blam!- players

IF ARMOR LOC WAS REMOVED WOULD THAT MAKE YOU HAPPY

Why do people think Reach ruined Halo ?
I have enjoyed them all so far.

No ODST did not. Its short, but its different. Yu eed to be more tactical.

My only issue with ODST is the lack of matchmaking. It makes getting achivements like VM:endure, VM deja vu, etc hellish.

Aside from that and how dark the game was (seriosuly even the night vision didnt help at times) it wa a great game.

i am surprised that they nvr looked back after MW2 i was confused w/ the call of duty becuz there is no metion of shields but they take way to much dmg from an smg to live. and personally i think black ops ruined the COD games im not gona get MW3 for along time

agreed the only problems w/ odst was:
no multiplayer/no matchmaking for the firefight/and the vision sucked at times.

reach felt like a bland cracker. kool to look at with the little wholes and lots of details but no flavor. i do love that they made a search server for ever aspect of the game. only one that is missing is the spartans vs elites firefight that would be fun w/ motivated players

Halo ODST does not suck, but it's not fantastic either. At least Bungie tried to drift people away from the spartans for a while.

And for those of you who say that it was reach that killed the halo series, IT DID NOT, HALO REACH IS A GREAT GAME.

Here is my score for all the halo games, out of 5 stars:

Halo Combat Evolved = 4.5 stars
Halo 2 = 3 stars
Halo 3 = 4 stars
Halo ODST = 3.5 stars
Halo Reach = 4.5 stars

Yeah, its a shame, they could have atleast patched the match making on before leaving it :(

You know what, I didnt realsie it, I knew something was wrong with reach, but you made me realise. Its empty. It looks nice, but it dosent feel like the halo games I played.
I dont know what they did that made me feel this way, but halo reach just didnt give me the feeling halo 3 did. Or halo 2, or halo 1. Maybe its becuase it was dull. I dont think anything was memorable.

WTF? ODST was the best of the Halos. Reach killed it.


Actually, Halo: CE was the best of all the Halo games. I'm really hoping 343i doesn't -blam!- up the remake.

All 343 are doing is giving it new graphics. Unless they make really bad choices I dont see how they can -blam!- that up.

Though IIRC the multiplayer will be from Reach but with old maps.

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

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

We are ODST - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IklqPx3unjs

I could watch a 2 hour movie of this easily.

Seconded. I have no idea how often I've watched that yet. A hundred times, maybe? In any case, not often enough yet.

And ODST certainly didn't ruin the Halo franchise. In fact, I think it revitalized it a bit and brought some new wind into it.

  • 08.03.2011 6:04 PM PDT

blah blah blah...

It did because after that every wasn't as EPIC. Same will probably be with Halo 4 and on. Bungie got the best shooter games and made them epic. But ODST was the start of disaster. Modern Warfare 2 was(is for me) one of the BEST games of my life. Campagin=Gripping.EPIC. Multiplayer=Addictive.Amazing. So really in all,yes ODST ruined the Halo seies.

NOTE: I love both series.

NOTE2: Remember,this is my opinion.

That's what I was thinking. I personally didn't hate ODST, but everbody else did.

But I think we can all agree that Call of Duty's series beats Halo's right now.



umm... no.

The first modern warfare stole my attention for a little bit, but I got bored with the cod series after that.

Halo Rules.

This isn't about your personal opinion. Black Ops has way more players online than Reach...

  • 08.04.2011 8:28 PM PDT

Hell no. ODST still has the best campaign.

And Biber has more views on YT than some of my favorite bands. No he dosent beat them. Popularity dosent mean anything. Lots of people voted for Bush, we saw how that went...

I think you'll find the game that screwed over Halo was Reach. ODST was brilliant and added a whole new co-op mode to the game. The only problem I had was that it was a bit too short. But that is the one and only gripe I have about ODST. By the way Modern Warfare 2 sucked. COD 4 and MW3 are going to be way better than that pile of trash.

That is the arguement of majority, which is actually a logical fallacy. Just because the German people voted for Hitler doesn't mean he was what was best for Germany. We all saw how that went down...

Halo Reach didn't hurt the Halo Franchise. Its meant to be different on purpose to give us a different gameplay. I love Reach and its one of the best Halo's made

Considering ODST was meant to be an expansion pack for Halo 3, then no. ODST was the single greatest concoction Bungie made since the original Halo. As a full game, it was lacking. No matchmaking support for Firefight and having to switch between discs for Halo 3's multiplayer surely hindered its fame. Still, its campaign overall topples Halo 3's and personally Reach's as well.

Reach had the worst capaign imo.

I liked ODSTs, it had variety, sniping as rome, then fighting of banshees, a tank mission, warthog mission, defending ONI, banshee mission, etc. To top it off it had a fun last mission. Reachs last mission was kinda dull, getting to the Autumn just didnt feel that epic and I disliked the brute waves. It was too open for that imo.

OFC when the majority of the game is focused on he SP aspect it will be good.
