Halo : ODST

But the original Halo, though 8 years old, is a good game. Will always be on the top of my list. I should play that compain and time how long it takes, and then play ODST and time that. It should be interesting...

Basicly I think they just rushed getting out "something new". If they had put more thought and time into it, it would have been really good. The multiplayer's a let down on ODST because, well, you're not even ODST. All the new stuff you had in that game means jack squat in multiplayer. Maybe that's why there are 2 discs.

 

Nothing beats Halo 2 multiplayer! But, I love COD. I have been playing World at War for about 3 months, but have switched back to Modern Warfare. Can't wait till November.

 

ODST was originally meant to be DLC. Not sure why the changed it $$$$ ;D

 

I was really disappointed in ODST. The campaign isn't so bad when you're playing with friends on Legendary with a bunch of skulls on. Let me rant about the flaws. First off, I bought it because Halo to me means breathtaking graphics and amazing cutscenes. ODST looks like it was made for the original Xbox. The whole RB to switch guns/reload sucks monkey. RB should activate the vizor and X should reload, swap weapons. Multiplayer I can't comment on because I refuse to play it (if anyone wants my disc I'll let it go cheap). The health system, although more realistic, detracts because you're constantly huddled in a corner hoping your stamina comes back before that brute comes back to demolish you. The guns seem underpowered which shouldn't be the case even if you are ODST and not Master Chief. Forgive me if I'm mistaken, but Mythic and Thunderstorm didn't make brutes nearly invincible to anything except a UNSC Sniper round to the head in Halo 3 did they? I don't mean to completely bash the game, because I do like it, but some things need altering. On a hugely positive note, Bungie will be able to fix it with Reach, which promises to be excruciatingly fun. Who doesn't love hoardes of UNSC Spartans?

"The box office assassin that is Modern Warfare 2" (some Game Informer magazine that I can't find) should absolutely demolish every other game for a while. If someone remembers the issue this came from please chime in. The article was lamenting the pushing back of big title games because they don't want to compete with MW2. If anyone plays Hardcore TD shoot me a friend request saying you're from 3reef or something. I play to win and usually succeed. Let the smack talk ensue.

 

Why do you refuse to play the multiplayer online?

 

The whole "Halo Jump" kids. It's just completely unrealistic. Cod4 works just fine for me.

 

For me as well COD4 is by far the best game ever. This includes Campaign mode and multiplayer mode.

Top Games I enjoy after that

Gears of war 1 & 2
Halo series
Rainbow 6
Ghost recons
splinter cell
Shadowrun (game was so amazing wish it caught on more)

I of course play alot of other games and have enjoyed them, but these games were all amazing

 

I never could get into any of the Halo games. Not really a fan of the "fantasy" stuff I guess.
I am really looking forward to L4D2 and Modern Warfare 2. I just got NFS Shift and that game was HIGHLY disappointing. Probably putting that one up on E-Bay.

 

LOL. I hate fantasy games as well, but for some reason I just realy dig the HALO campaigns. Good soundtrack and cool cut scenes.

I hated left 4 dead was boring to me.

 

Just finished the campaign with my son, took 6.5 hours on Legendary (I refuse to play on any other level with Halo). Some of the new features are annoying – night vision is a joke. Thankfully I like more of the improvements than I dislike. I picked up two versions so I can play with my son online (11 year old – same house, but I need my own TV ! ) We have not ventured online yet – but will this weekend not that we finished the campaign on single and team play. Any advice for the online ?
