Hey what do you guys think of odst? I quite liked it, although the gameplay is incredibly easy... three of us should not be able to complete the entire campaign on legendary in four hours (and the first time we played odst). Overall on a scale of 1 to 5 (1 being fallout 3 crapiness and 5 being the call of duty 4 mission "All Ghillied up") I would give it a 4. I'm disappointed that there is no matchmaking feature, but the second disk makes up for that.
Anyway tell us what you thought of it.

Rating fallout 3 AS a 1 and saying its crap has lost any sort of respect you might have had trying to review this game. You sir are an idiot.

Lol, it was a joke. I would have thought rating fallout 3 above a 1 would have been worse than rating it a 1.
Oh, and I never rated fallout 3 a 1... i never even rated fallout 3 at all, my rating system doesn't go to -50.

if he did rate FO3 a 1, then i would agree with chris. the game blew chunks. havent played ODST yet though, might break it out a little later today though.

I was not a fan of Halo 3 but I have not played more then a couple hours of it...I would imagine ODST will not be much better....I would have to agree with the other two that Fallout 3 was pretty boring....I only played about an hour or so but I think the story did not appeal to me...

RPG's generally i think are crap and drawn out as a whole but i loved all 80hours of my lost life in Fallout.. Only friendly banter so each to there own.
As for halo, never really thought much of single player anyway but the multi-player is just plain FUN. Love gears of war Horde modes to, so im sure i'm going to have a laugh one way or another online with ODST.
Yet to give it a try but i think thats my evening sorted, i'll add to this thread when i do get chance to give it a try..for those who are interested in my review.

What's even funnier is all the "I haven't played it yet but..." comments. He asked what you thought of the ODST, no what you think it might be like. If you haven't played the game then shut yer trap!
I have played the game and I feel its more like an expansion pack. It shouldn't have been billed as a stand alone game. Its too short and nothing new or innovative.

i'm a huge halo fan and have been since the launch of halo:ce. through the first level i enjoyed it but then it got stale fast. the story really has nothing to do with the halo universe... it's between 5 odsts. i think it could have been a good story if they would have flushed it out into a full fledged game. the music also completely derails it from being 'haloesque'.
overall score from 1-10 --> 6
my final thought is that ms just threw this together to milk the cash cow that is halo.

Sorry, I don't think MS 'threw' this together to rip everyone off. That was 100% Bungee.

if you think ms had nothing to do with this then you are sadly mistaken my friend. although bungie 'broke away from ms'... halo is still proprietary to ms.

Without ms bungie would not be what it is today... they'd probably be still releasing games for mac if it wasn't for xbox.
Anyway I think the worst part about the game is the human's in the cutscenes, they look to rigid. Halo wars cinematics were probably the best in any game yet, bungie could learn something from Ensemble Studios (if ms didn't shut them down).

Oh god those cut scenes were sexy in halo wars <3
I played through a bit of the ODST "campaign" in split screen and it got pretty boring extremely fast.
Switched over to firefight and haven't looked back. Hopefully I can get a 4 person match going over here in the dorms assuming it goes system link.

Some of the campaign is boring, some parts are really good and some parts are wierd. Like the engineers, at first we (the people I was playing with) thought it was a prophet... they've got wierd necks. The chick (i think Veronica or something) later explains what they are. SPOILER ALERT (scroll down if you want to read)
Then you have to escort one dubbed "VRGL" to safety (I still don't know what VRGL means).

Just finished it and overall I think it was amazing. Halo 3 8.6/10, Halo 3 ODST 9.2/10.
Only downsides are that the characters are not that likeable except for the Rookie who doesn't even speak. Some of the dialogue is what you'd expect from a Halo game- cheesy.
You really have a sense of loneliness and emptiness when you wander around the vast city. You are also vulnerable since you are not as powerful as Master Chief thus you need to take cover constantly from the enemies that are scattered about.
Some of the musical pieces really take your breath away on how awesome it is. Most notably when you take control of the Rookie. I'll definitely check out the OST.
Game was short but sweet. Sometimes that's what you need in a game every now and then- a game that you can finish in 5-7 hours and not worry about time constraints in your life.

I love it. I always thought I was the only one that thought the dialoge was cheezy, to a fault. I don't know why anyone thinks the story in this game is so great.. Even when they are creating a story, it's hard to take it seriously when the dialoge sucks and the voice acting is so terrible. The voice effects on the arbiter is the worst thing i've heard in years.

I say 5 of 10 because the campaign is so short.
Legendary felt like it was on normal.
This should've been a $20 expansion.
The multiplayer disc should've been an expansion also.
But I do like Firefight.

I think the game is pretty good. It is too big for an expansion but maybe lacks a few things it should of had. The engine is the same one used in halo 3 so its a little rustic. however i like this more than halo 2 or 3 because of the back to halo 1 gameplay.
