God this is fucking horrible. how do the retarded children on here think it's any good?

When it came out it was real neat. Killer soundtrack and a decent campaign if you like halo. Firefight was pretty big too when it was new. I remember staying home from school when ODST came out and seeing my friends on x box also online that day, played a lot of co op and everyone liked it

Problem is people look at it like it’s a full halo game, it’s not halo:ODST it’s halo 3:ODST literally just a decent sized expansion pack. When you look at it as a piece of halo 3 dlc it’s impressive they did so much level building(maybe with halo2 assets but high rez) and made a new hud and took time to make the ODST play different from a full spartan. They coulda done a much lower effort job

ODST had soul. It was a DLC side project that in some ways was a lot better than the generic Reach game which clearly had a lot more money poured into it.

Knocks the wind out of you

Anyone else not play this game since it released on 360 and enjoy it a lot more this time around? On release I was just disappointed that it was an irrelevant spinoff plot and $60 for Halo 3 assets again, but the atmosphere held up.

Man has advanced far by 2552, you are invincible to gunfire as long as you are not out of breath.

Only good thing about ODST is the OST, unironically

The pistol feels great and the whole Resident Evil lab thing is cool

The OST is peak gaming kino tho

Bungie always released games when they werent ready to ship its a shit company and i cant believe some people expect anything great from them

They released GOTYAY CE which is where the expectations come from

>anything halo 3 related

did you seriously think it could be any good? kek

yeah man, it's really overrated.
>"it's more serious in tone"
Every mission is the same old marine hoorahing. Like, mombasa streets is pretty unique in tone but none of that tone is present anywhere else in the game.

>ugly as sin

It's still great graphically aside from the garbage Halo 3 face models and some of the shadows. Halo has the best skyboxes.

You're supposed to play beyond the second mission on legendary and then go around finding the comm logs. If you play on legendary and restrict yourself only to human equipment (like they should have from the fucking start), and actually bother to go around seeking out the logs, sneaking around Jackal snipers and Brute patrols is actually pretty fun.

Bungie's mistake on this was that they didn't go far enough on stealth action and procure on site, even though they explicitly coded the game's AI to allow for it.

I feel like you can only experience ODST as they intended if you play it on legendary and abstain from covenant shit.

Now this I don't get. It's darker in theme I guess but all the characters and their dialogue are tween dudebro, cocky edge shit. It's like with Halo 3 and after they just dropped all nuance and started pandering to kids like they knew all along that 12-15 year olds were their primary audience.

You're a retard, OP. Sorry to have to be the one to tell you.
No shame in heading back to Fortnite.

>game from around 2008
>looks like shit
WOOOOOO WHO WOULD HAVE THOUGHT

There is no logical reason you shouldn't be able to use covenant weapons, the problem is that despite being an ODST, you still have "shields" because it's a core mechanic of the series and brute shields don't recharge for some dumb reason. Faggots complained about elites on legendary being too hard in halo 2, I guess.

Don't know, CE-3 shits all over it, even the horseshit that was Reach is better. Halo 4 and 5 are also better, by the way, CE and 2 are dated and are still better than ODST and Reach, Bungie just died after Halo 3.

The campaign of ODST reminded me of why I hated Spartan Ops in Halo 4, honestly, Halo just sucks without Master Chief.

ODST was 343 first game. It was literally training wheels for 343 in preparation for when 343 to take over for Bungie when Bungie leaves the halo to do their own games.

Halo 2 Legendary was ludicrous. Elites can withstand multiple sniper headshots.

The plasma pistol and smg combo makes them a fucking joke.

That and Reach but Bungie also went downhill too.
