Lol, the OP has no respect of good literature and a story-driven game. The other halo games, while fun, just follow the trope of the SUPAH D00PER SPESS MEHREEN!?!
The whole point of ODST is that it's a Noir, a type of story I doubt that you even know how to define without a google search.
Damn kids.

I know what a noir is the fact that you claim I'm a stupid kid just made you,''adult'' look like and idiot.Come back with something better ''grownup''.

Lol. You still haven't defined a Noir.

Doesnt matter,you still can't hurt my feelings so just quit posting while you have your dignity.

Name's John. I'm a 21-year-old firefighter/EMT from lolhio who doubles as a die-hard Halo fan. I've been enjoying the franchise since 2001. My favorite iteration of Halo would have to be Halo 2 simply because I never got to experience the joy of a full-on Halo: CE LAN.


If you have any other questions, feel free to ask.

Oh yeah, and boot Zome.

Halo 2 was where the story really started to expand. I put more playtime into Halo 2's campaign than Reach and Halo 3 multiplayer combined.

ODST is amazing, but I wouldn't call it a Noir, even if Microsoft's marketing division does.

IMO a better description of ODST would be that it's an Inferno-inspired story which drives its narrative in a manner somewhat reminiscient to Halo 1 and which has a vaguely Noir-ish aesthetic.

Good stuff, though. It and CE probably have my favorite storytelling in the series, though I suppose I'd tend to give the edge to CE because its gameplay resonates so successfully with the narrative flow. Not that ODST is bad in that regard, but it's competing with a game that nails it perfectly.

CE was very captivating,this and the gameplay was why it was a hit.

Why Bungie, why would you do this?! - Halo Community

You just failed Bungie.net's unofficial "Has even the basic understanding of what a story is" test. Lurn 2 grammar also. And did you only play the first level of H3:ODST?

And eh, CE was duller than ODST. In CE, you're a virtual god with the weapons at your disposal, and the only time that stuff gets dangerous is in 343. Otherwise you're just murdering -blam!- with the pistol.

Aha get over yourself Dark Hunter, even Wyzilla has played Halo.Who comes on bungie net and all they do is post crap.Thats funny !''Lurn 2 grammar'' wow.....

But that's what makes it fun! D: You prefer Halo 2/3/Reach, where your character has to use cover every 5 seconds of getting shot? That's 20x more lame. Have you even considered limiting yourself (using only the plasma rifle, using only melee, using only grenades, fighting against vehicles on foot)?! Was nearly impossible in those games on Legendary but it's certainly viable in CE.

This.

Of course, ODST's encounters were considerably harder than Halo 3: smarter Chieftains who did not waste their Invincibility, 2 Hunter variants, Jackals using needler, much more enemies. Kikowani Station was absolutely hell to me, even at mission start. It was very engaging.

The only reason why it's looked down on is that the sandbox was actually useful and powerful enemies (Jackal snipers, berserking Brutes) were nerfed for balancing. ODST is next to CE in fairness and fun. Silenced M6C and SMG are great starting weapons!!

This is an... interesting description of CE's campaign. 343GS challenging?

Maybe it wasn't 343, I forget the name, but it's the one where you spend your entire time running backwards and spraying a horde of flood with an assault rifle, barely holding on to life. Bless that shotgun and its insane ammo.

343GS definitely has a stretch where you are shotgunless and fighting Flood, but it's not really that difficult, and the AR is arguably one of the worst weapons to try to use as a primary through that section.

You should give Legendary a shot, too. It's good stuff and still quite fair, and I suspect you were playing on a lower difficulty if you found fairly mundane Flood wave sections to be the most challenging.
