Halo 3: ODST

[Brutalis]

Be real. You interested in it? Comes out the 22nd

I am. But after Halo 3 and Wars I'm afraid to spend 60 on this thing even if I got games to trade and get a discount at Game Stop.

yup pre-ordered it already, the trailers look awsome, even if the game fails(which i doubt will) i will still enjoy it because of matchmaking.

[manufan10]

I haven't pre-ordered it yet. Hopefully they will still have some in stock that Friday when I get paid.

It's kind of strange to me that we are only a week and a half from it's release and yet NO gaming sites have received a copy to review.

Not saying it's going to be a bad game by console FPS standards, but I really wish -review- sites could actually, you know, review games a few days before they are released so gamers can decide if they want a particular game or not.

It's been leaked for like a week now. Kind of strange IGN, GS, etc... haven't gotten a copy. They might want people to buy it before the reviews are out. It wouldn't surprise me.

[mFFL03]

I'm not buying it...only a rent.

There's only like 5-6 hours of gameplay along with all the Halo 3 maps. They have a new match type like "Horde" from Gears of War 2, but that's about it.

Honestly I liked playing Halo Wars and Halo 3 much more. I'm waiting for Halo Reach though...I think they are putting 100% behind that effort

[iggypop123]

this might not even be worth it at 40 bucks.

[BlackSwordsMan]

40$? it's 60$

???

Halo Wars was horrible.

[koriwhat]

halo has sucked since it's beginning.

[jman3000]

I read a review and it actually looks like an interesting concept. I kinda fell outta the FPS genre, but if I went to a gaming cafe or something I'd probably play it for an hour or two.

[iggypop123]

40$? it's 60$

im saying even if lowers to 40 i still wouldn't get it

[mardigan]

Its pretty badass so far. The new pistol is sick, and so is the new rifle. You feel much less like a super hero, and a couple of the beginning fights against just a couple dudes are tough. Your health doesnt regenerate all the way either, got to get med packs.

[BlackSwordsMan]

halo legends looks amazing btw I don't even like halo and am interested in the anime makes me wanna play odst

I'd like to think it would be good, but then i remember the animatrix, so i hold my doubts, the graphic novel was pretty good though

[BlackSwordsMan]

I don't mind reading stories on good games but I view the stories as bs that someone just made up to make a quick buck

[Trainwreck2100]

I mostly read the stories that involved the games

The fall of reach was the origin story

The Flood was just a novelization of the 1st game(wasn't written by the guy who wrote the first/third books) and wasn't that good
The First Strike was between Halo 1 and 2

And Ghosts of Onyx was the only offshoot i read because it told how the SPARTANs that appeared in the books met their end

As for cashing in I never said i paid for them

Anyone who wants to do Campaign just hit me up on XBL and we can play when it's out. 100G just for beating it on normal.

Im almost done with it. I'm not sure this game is worth the price to be honest. I havent played the second disc, with the online, and I havent played the new Firefight game type, but the campaign seems rather short.

[mardigan]

But hot damn the M7S Submachine gun is sweet, although it has a small clip. And bringing back the pistol that zooms in was a great call.

[BlackSwordsMan]

what I don't get if you got 1750/1750 on halo 3 already does that mean the 2nd odst disc is useless to you?

[ManuTP9]

Theres a shit load of achievments for the game.

[BlackSwordsMan]

um that didn't answer my question
the 2nd disc contains the DLC for halo 3 if you bought the DLC already does that mean the 2nd disc is useless to you?

[ManuTP9]

um that didn't answer my question
the 2nd disc contains the DLC for halo 3 if you bought the DLC already does that mean the 2nd disc is useless to you?

No because the 3 new maps added onto the 2nd disk cant be downloaded from the Marketplace. Thee heroic, Ledgendary and Mythic maps can be but not the 3 new ones. so im pretty sure you need the 2nd disk.

[BlackSwordsMan]

ok got it thanks

[mardigan]

um that didn't answer my question

There's 47 achievements for this game.

[ManuTP9]

Fuck i want to play this game so bad!

[xellos88330]

I abandoned Halo. It was great for a while, then just started to get monotonous. I prefer more of a reality/historic scenario. Not sure if Halo ODST will be worth my time or not.

[kcplayboi_26]

Fuck i want to play this game so bad!

yea me too, had it for about a week but wasnt trying to get banned. So i will wait a couple more hours to get on it since it will be out some places around the world

[Heath Ledger]

If you are going to get banned its already going to happen any way, its in your recently played games list, microsoft knows when people are playing games early. The first time your 360 connects to live it snitches on you even if you dont play the game on live.

So if Microsoft is going to drop the banhammer for early players you are alread fucked, they do these in huge batches. If it happens its your console that gets banned not your account, they do this so you have to go out and buy a new console which = more revenue for them.

[ManuTP9]

My game arrived but im not going to be able to play it until tonite at my friends house. im stocked up on mountain dew for tonite!

[mardigan]

Beat it last night. Its about a 6-7 hour campaign thats has a different feel than any other Halo game I've played. The Romeo mission is one of my favorite Halo missions ever. I can't wait to play Firefight online, can already tell that shit is going to be addictive as hell.

[Trainwreck2100]

i can't believe they brought back the noisy cricket

[slick'81]

just got odst today looking forward to the mayhem

[ManuTP9]

Games good, im trying to beat campaign on ledgenary and its tough as hell.

[bostonguy]

<----sucks at Halo

[ManuTP9]

i wish they had matchmaking for FireFight.

[mardigan]

Games good, im trying to beat campaign on ledgenary and its tough as hell.

Yea, I went through it the first time on heroic and it was still pretty damn tough. Trying it on Legendary now, and it seems like running away is one of the best solutions so far.

[Avitus1]

I gotta play this damn game but probably not to till the weekend :-/

There was an embargo on media coverage regarding reviews. Sort of a gentlemans agreement in the media to not release any info about the game until a certain date put out by Microsoft.

[Heath Ledger]

If you beat this game on Legendary you have super human abilities and I must bow down and worship you.

Sweet...

[jman3000]

Well shit... if it's as hard as people are making it sound I might have to give it a try. I love difficult games.

[manufan10]

i wish they had matchmaking for FireFight.

Yup. That would have been great.

[Trainwreck2100]

i wish they had matchmaking for FireFight.

so how do you play online?

[Death In June]

I rented this yesterday, and I gotta say, I'm not into it. Playing is a weak, pussed out version of mastercheif who can jump a third as high and goes down after two or three shots to the chest is pretty boring.

Meh, I'm not Halo fan, but it's the most interesting one I've played since Halo (original). I don't get why having a character with less superpowers in an FPS makes the game more boring.

[kcplayboi_26]

I dont really like it, maybe I just need to play it more tho

[ManuTP9]

so how do you play online?

you have to invite your friends to play with you , most of the time my friends are trying to get achievments or not on, so im usually stuck playing firefight with my bro on ledgendary mode, we need more people most the time because the shit is tough.

Odst's arent supposed to be Master Chief. -.-

[ManuTP9]

3 of my friends and I were goin for the Vidmaster:Endure achievement
today,We got to the last wave of the last round of the last set and with 5 enemies left our last guy collapsed to the blood stained sand. 3 hours wasted, we gave it our best shot

[slick'81]
