Subject: Do you like the campaign?

I love the mystery plot, it was different

Yes. One of my favourite campaigns is ODST. It felt different from other Halo games but still Halo. The lonely night feel was amazing and soundtrack fitted well.

Sometimes, I dream about cheese.

ofcourse i did
i was fond of it being more greener then the other titles

AR packed a punch again this time, not as lethal as Halo: Combat Evolved's though not as useless as Halo 3's either

those lights on the covy's armour which is activated during the night was appealing, even though it made sniping alot easier in this game lol

ah the pistol, i'm a sucker for pistol which is more glock-like (high ROF/low damage), dislike deagle-like pistols (low ROF/high damage) like in Halo 3, not fun to use and can't pull of a fast string of headshots

Yes, it's my second favourite campaign after Halo 2

It has a good story, great immersive enviroment and it adds some believability to the Halo universe. The only thing I don't like is the unrealistic gameplay.

Swag punks, fu­­ck off!

I love the campaign of ODST, it was different, and creative.

By the power of truth, I, while living, have conquered the universe.

Pretty much says it all for me.

Also, Sadie's Story is one of the best things to happen to the Halo universe, I was really drawn into it. The artwork was stunning, the voice acting was brilliant and the structure being derived from Dante's Divine Comedy really gave the storytelling a level of sophistication unseen in the other Halos.

What do you MEAN 'wat'?
The gameplay was absurd.
In every Halo game to date a Spartan would die in one headshot to a sniper. One. Exactly one. No more, no less. Certainly not less.
But in ODST, inexplicably, they die in TWO. You can tell they have literally no idea what they're doing with this health/stamina system when an ODST can take more HEADSHOTS from a SNIPER RIFLE than Master Chief can.
I mean lord, it needs to go right between their eyes and out the back of their head...twice?
And lord, you can take multiple headshots from MANY weapons. Look at their helmets. Look at the design. Do you really think they could suffer more than one headshot from any covenant weapon would be resisted by that thing for more than a couple shots?
The health system was absurd. There was NO immersion. The gameplay was unrealistic, unbalanced, and boring.
Ewhh.

Yes, I love Halo 3: ODST. As a matter of fact I'm doing a run-through with my girlfriend on it who also loves it.

The whole stealth thing was a bit of an issue as you could still easily be detected even when picking off stragglers but the fact that you play as more than one character (which is a first to happen in any Halo FPS game) was excellent. The mystery surrounding what happened to your squad mates was also very good as you didn't know what would happen to them in the end, whether they would live or die or most of them would die.

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

It was really good! The only thing I didn't like is how there were almost no references to the other Halo Universe characters. Aside from that, Halo 3: ODST is my second favorite Campaign, right after Halo 2.

If I am not posting, then I am reading what you might have posted.

I played it alone once, then played it with my brother, then I played with all my friends.

I played through it 3 times, and I still love the game, amazing story, and a nice dark environment.

The campaign is incredible and different than every other halo.

Yes, the campaign is excellent. I have been playing through it again over the last few days.

Different, fresh, and it gave a different feel (which is ironic because it uses the H3 engine). I like the more varied environments and broader range of situations and mission variety. I didn't find it to be too insanely short, though I would've welcomed any extra missions.

ODST added a kind of familiarity to the universe we can all recognise. A realistic city environment, complete with cars, buildings, adverts, it was clear remnants of what human life used to be like before the Covenant attacked. Very much like us. Plus Sadies Story is the first time a Halo story has focused on a civilian. Before this, we had a far fetched, fairly ridiculous, but fun, storyline. Master Chief prancing around the galaxy with his alien buddies visiting ancient alien ruins and saving the universe. ODST confirms that this is all happening in our world we can recognise.

The gameplay however is ridiculous. It also breaks immersion. An ODST, supposedly a vulnerable soldier, can beat down 9 foot tall brutes in 4-6 melees. They can also take a shot from a beam rifle to the chest, but turn out all right because their stamina recovered. And the fact they can leap right over a car.

The environment and story were deep, realistic and immersive, but the gameplay breaks this.

somewhere in the heavens...they are waiting. I love the Marathon Trilogy.
Halo CE will always be the best game in the Halo franchise. What a perfect game.

ODST has one of the best campaigns of any Halo game, with only CE beating it. Great and unique characters with a team dynamic and a deep mystery and story added makes it a enjoyable experience.

Nope. Halo CE may have had the best story, but as far as gameplay and replayability, Halo 2 has it beat. Ce is way too repetitive.

Nope. I've played through Halo CE at least three times a year compared to one or none for Halo 2. Halo CE is the most challenging in a fun way and for me I always great to play through again. Halo 2 can occasionally be on the stale side.

How do you stomach it? I beat CE on every difficulty and every now and then I replay it. I just find all the encounters so similar, and the small weapon count means that eventually I get bored of using the pistol.

Yep. Just finished a legendary solo run through a few weeks ago.

I really enjoyed the ODST campaign; it was something different and expanded the Halo universe in an interesting way.

I loved it because it played like a good short story. It was personal, and it was human. Good times were had.
