Looks great. Way to not show the game at all. LOL.
Game will suck ass.

Buy at TRU and you get $20 gift card & gay action figure
-
Yeah I'm gonna use my $30 Batman card on it. Pay $30, get $20 back and a gay figure to sell off.

:bow Halo :bow2

Then leave

game will rock

Tight as homovonio's butthole.

Is this game going to be any good? Seriously?
I will probably pick it up around Christmas, when the price drops.
-
WOULD YOU LIKE TO KNOW MORE?

I'm just curious about the single player stuff. Whenever I try and see a video, it's always of the horde mode. Right now I'm interested because it's Halo, and, like, I liked Halo games in the past. Thinking about it, the only thing I find excited, so far, is that it's out this month :-\
-
Comical.
-
I don't like Halo anymore. But this makes me want to try out ODST.
Great commercial.
But I know deep inside that this game will suck ass. Just like Halo 3 and Halo 2 did.
-

It's troubling that they could reel in even reasonably aware consumers using an ad like this.
The cure? Watch some gameplay footage.
-
Yeah, I saw the ingame footage. Horrifying stuff.
That's why I know it'll suck ass.
-
Why does it take so many shots to kill those creatures anyways? You'd think they would bring better guns.
-
Wow, after look at the gameplay footage. :lol
-
Doesn't quite match up, does it?
-
I'm buying it.
-
was under the impression this was ghost recon in the halo universe. Since I find the halo universe far more interesting than the GR settings, I figure I should dig it.
I haven't seen any footage though, haven't followed it since announcement
-
Yeah, it looks pretty, uh, not good. And this is as someone who dug Halo 3.
I'll probably pick it up for multiplayer stuff when the price drops, but I find myself playing Halo less and less as time goes on.
-
Watching this video, bleeding into the videos that followed it, I just found out about Firefight mode. I've wanted something like that in Halo for a while. Cool.
-
Bitter Sfags running serious damage control on another killer MS ad.
But it doesn't look like the game! They're not being 100% forthright with the product they're advertising!
Haha, morons. This is why MS sells millions of units and Sony doesn't.
-

Soooooooo true
-
Halo campaigns are always good enough for 1 play through. I'll probably play it around Christmas, just like everything else coming out this season.

Well, this and the fact that one actually has games.
-
This is why MS sells millions of units and Sony doesn't.
That may be, but it still doesn't look anything like the game that it supposedly advertises. I don't blame them for it, it's a damned good looking ad and it obviously has the desired effect, but it's still some kind of dreamy dream version of the Halo thing. It's a bit like Bisley's take on Halo, really.

Yeah, it's fucking awesome, and it makes you want to go buy ODST and be this grizzled bad ass special ops future soldier dude. That's what ads do, they make you want to buy things.
By the way Simon Bisley is also awesome.
-
I'm not disagreeing with that, I'm just bitter about the ad being a hell of a lot cooler in style than this game, or any other Halo game ever, will be. It's common practice in advertising, but it still sucks. There will be blue, there will be purple, and it will glow. That's the Halo style, but then there is this other, cool style that they use for promos, and that sucks.
-
Sfags complaining that an ad doesn't look like the game? :lol what about 2005?
-
Actually, I think Killzone 1 had a live action ad, at least in Europe. Red Dwarf caliber production.
-
Why wouldn't this game be good?
Graphics suck, oh well. Firefight alone will get more play from me than most games.
-
Where is the video you guys are seeing of the SP campaign that makes it look bad? I just watched the trailers and they look fine. I loved Halo 3 and it looks like it plays like Halo 3 with a squad and thus enemies take more damage to balance it. My only concerns are:
1) lack of location variety since it all takes place at the city. What makes Halo 1-3 nice is how you go through cities, jungles, libraries, arks, snow mountains, etc...
2) NO REGEN SHIELDS...fuuuuuck. Shields saved my ass in Halo 1-3 at many checkpoints and are one of the gameplay aspects that I LOVE about the series and am glad they became a standard in the genre. I like knowing that I can't screw myself by getting to an overwriting checkpoint with my life too low to pass it. Little worried about no regen, especially because the games that have NOT done regen lately have instead given ridiculous amounts of health packs making the game too easy.
-
They are talking about the streams on justinTV that have been popping up from the leaked version.
-
i've always had fun with the halo SP campaigns
for someone who just wants to play the mulitplayer this seems like a pretty good buy, with the MP and all the DLC on a standalone disc - Halo 3 plus all the DLC maps would add up to more than $60
-
Majority of the Halo 3 maps are free at this point though
-
I don't play MP
I don't play Halo 3
I do very much enjoy Halo 1-3 SP. Hell I will even play Halo Wars someday when it's $20 for the SP campaign. I just really dig the Halo universe they've created and the games all have high production values and a certain level of quality to them. They still have shitty graphics and sometimes shitty endings, but otherwise they're usually good.

Bungie pussied out in trying to make the ODST play all that different from Chief. You get 'stamina' instead of shields. It's like Halo 1.
Majority of the Halo 3 maps are free at this point though
No they aren't. 4 are free, 3 are reduced price, 3 are full price, and ODST comes with 3 new ones that are full price.
-
Trailer is a little too intense
-
Bungie should have just went ahead and made a movie instead of wasting money on more lame Halo games.
-
the trailer/commercial was alright. I dunno. I feel the same way as I did to the Halo 3 memorial and Haze commercials. In real life, all that equipment just looks goofy.
That old Halo 3 commercial with the stars was awesome, though.

The Gears of War 2 rendezvous trailer still beats this. Well, as a title ad at least.

Gears of War 2 was a better game too!

2) NO REGEN SHIELDS...fuuuuuck.
My most hated thing about Halo, especially when it comes to multiplayer. Maybe I'll like this game.
-
I asked a buddy of mine that went to Vegas with GameStop how ODST was on the demo floor.
Before he could reply, his RD popped in with, "ODST looked good - for 2007. I think I fell asleep during their demo." :lol
-
Maybe I will try to gamefly this instead of buying. :X Depends on reviews. If most scores are 9+ I'll buy it.

Damn, this GameStop RD responded again. :lol
"If you want gameplay footage, go play Halo 3, and adjust the colors so everything is more brown." :lol
-
Damn Willco, you sure are convincing me
-
So if you're a fan of Halo, you'll like ODST. Got it.
-
Wow so an expansion has the same graphics as the base game? So thankful for Willco's stunning insights in here
-
I don't think it's too much to ask for improved visuals of what was considered mediocre to below average in 2007.
Especially, since it's a standalone.
-
Perhaps, but it could look like Halo CE and I wouldn't care. It's Halo with new scenarios and story arc, that's enough for me.
-
People care about the story in Halo? ???
-
Halo 3 was already graphically outdated during its release. The game looked embarrassing for a next-gen flagship title...
I wonder how Halo: Reach will look. Going by the trend it'll look worse than ODST.
-
Wow so an expansion has the same graphics as the base game? So thankful for Willco's stunning insights in here
An expansion 2 years in the making, dude. I never had much of a problem with how Halo 3 looked (even if the arguments regarding trade-offs for scale seem a bit funny in hindsight), but I don't think it's unreasonable to expect more from a high profile title after 2 years and with complete console exclusivity.
-
Who cares. ODST looks like it plays closer to the original Halo than the other games, which makes me very happy since the original Halo is still the best one. Good game is a good game.
-
People care about the story in Halo? ???
Well, not as much as I used to. It sort of peaked with Halo 1 and First Strike and I believe Bungie's narrative team lost their way after that. I'll just say that graphics are not high on the list of concerns when playing a game.
-

Uh, what's your reasoning behind this? It has an open world and a bunch of non-Spartan stuff, it looks nothing like the original Halo. :lol

The return of the health meter, slower paced battles, the pistol. I dunno, from watching the videos I get a very original Halo vibe.
-
This was an expansion pack that was content complete almost a year ago. It's a flagship title because MS wanted to squeeze $60 out of it, not by the intent of the creators. They wanted to release all 6 Mythic maps last fall and ODST in the spring of this year. iirc it was made by a team of like 12 guys.
You're on the market for this if you enjoy Halo to some degree. If you enjoy Halo you got used to the graphics a long time ago.
If Halo Reach still looks like shit it deserves tons of scorn.

Uh, the 'non-spartans' in this game have the attributes of Master Chief in Halo 1. Fall damage, a health meter, no dual wielding, a scoped pistol.
But you're right, the gameplay scenarios are quite different this time around and that's why the game is worth buying. Firefight is enough for me though.
-
Uh, the 'non-spartans' in this game have the attributes of Master Chief in Halo 1. Fall damage, a health meter, no dual wielding, a scoped pistol.
I'd suck every Bungie dev's dick for them to bring back the original pistol, but all reports indicate that this version is basically just the Halo 2 version with a scope.
I really wish they'd just release a LIVE-supported version of Halo 1
-
it would be hilarious if they got Silicon Knights to do a Halo 1 remake
-
They'd probably change the physics and ruin everything. I just want a direct port. XBC and Halo PC are too laggy, and Halo 2 and Halo 3 bore me to tears
-
I haven't played it in a long time, but didn't Halo 2's pistol have the same firing rate as the Halo 1 pistol? I'm pretty sure the ODST pistol fires fast, like Halo 3's, but has a scope.
-
NEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEERDS
-
Silicon Knights' Halo would come out in 2015 while somehow looking worse than the 2001 original as well as a new Norse take on the Halo lore.
-
I haven't played it in a long time, but didn't Halo 2's pistol have the same firing rate as the Halo 1 pistol? I'm pretty sure the ODST pistol fires fast, like Halo 3's, but has a scope.
Rate of fire: H2>H1>H3.
Damage: H1>H3>H2
Accuracy: H1>H3>H2
The H3 pistol also holds 4 less rounds than the other 2 variants.
edit: And that rumor about the ODST pistol being the H2 pistol with a scope is from a GamePro article, so I guess that should be taken with a grain of salt.
-
You can see it on video at this point. Check it out, you'd be able to say better than me.
-
People care about the story in Halo? ???
I did. The Cortana letters, the Marathon connections, Halo 1, the I Love Bees campaign....and then....splat. Halo 2 came out. They killed everything that could've been great about universe right then and there. So much potential wasted on monkeys from outer space.
-
Oh yeah, I didn't even watch the video of the Bungie nerd demoing it. I guess it does look like the H2 pistol with scope. Might be a little more accurate, but that's it. It's a not a big deal anyway since none of the weapons will be in multiplayer -- I mostly just miss 3 shotting people
-
Halo 3's multi is still fun, but their playlist manager really needs to put in a little overtime and spruce it up. I'm holding out hope that they will do this for ODST. I'm willing to accept the older style of matchmaking if it means I'll get more variety in my gametypes - but they removed too many good gametypes from Halo 2 (which are still available as defaults in Halo 3 custom games) and there are too many turds floating around that you have to hope get vetoed.
Once COD6 comes out I'll probably be putting that to bed. Firefight is what I'm really hyped for. My friends and I got a ton of time out of Horde and this looks to be even better.
-
I agree that it would be nice if matchmaking was more customizable. In particular I think it would be nice if you could filter out certain maps. I think MLG only allows 6 or 7 maps out of the 20+ available for multiplayer because of how poor the design is in so many of them are :lol It seems like they have serious problems with balancing anything that is asymmetrical.
I don't know why, though, but the newer Halos just don't hold my attention. I used to play H1 on lagtastic XBC for hours on end, but I'm always bored with XBL multiplayer after 4 or 5 games.
At least the campaigns are always great for the most part.
-
MLG excludes any DLC maps that cost money because then they'd have to buy the maps for hundreds of XBoxes at their meetups. Which sucks because almost all the DLC maps are AAA and it's the on-disc maps that tend to suck.
I still prefer Halo 3 to CoD4, but not to Bad Company. We all liked Halo 2 more but we've played more games of Halo 3 somehow. I guess because Halo 2 got swept aside by Gears 1 but Halo 3 remained as a reliable standby that we all owned.
-
Ohh.
I think I'm just losing interest in FPSes entirely, and it probably has little to do with the Halo franchise. Whenever I get the itch I just hop on Source for an hour or 2 and play some Dust2, but I don't have the desire to dedicate entire weekends to em like I used to.
-
just saw the tv commercial, real shame game is all colorful and shit.

It was made in 14 months by a smaller team, not 24. OWNED!
http://kotaku.com/5354944/how-and-why-halo-3-odst-was-made-in-14-months
Halo ODST was created in the wake of the cancellation of the PJ project to create some new work to bridge the gap to where they'd go into full production on Halo Reach.
ANNIHILATED BEYOND RECOGNITION

-

Its in the paper ad.
-
Wait, why would you brag that the game is low budget with a small team & made quickly? It's not like they're selling it at a budget price. It's $60 the same as every 20 million dollar 200 man team 2 year developed game.
I don't understand why MS did not put more people on the team to make this into a bigger deal. But I guess they didn't care and figured the Halo name would sell it.
-
Bungie wanted it to be priced lower. They said it over and over again for months after the announcement. MS made them bundle in the maps to prop up the value and then set the price at $60.
-
im glad they did that, i sold off halo 3 a long time ago, cant wait to play some swat on the new midship
-
Word. Some of my friends can't stand buying DLC, it is a pain in the ass trying to get matches going that everyone can agree on. But all of them are into buying new retail games, so finally we'll all be on the same page.
The Halo 3 campaign wasn't all that long in the first place, so a campaign that's a touch shorter with Firefight slapped on will definitely get more play from me than the original $60 release did. Gears 2 was a busted piece of shit but it got dozens of hours of play out of us thanks to Horde mode.
-
Is the original Halo 3 campaign included in ODST?
-
Is the original Halo 3 campaign included in ODST?
No,
H3 multiplayer + all the maps (including DLC and new ones)
ODST Firefight (horde + vehicles)
ODST campaign
-
I'm would rather have had them put more people on the team and justify the $60 price than bundle stuff. Reeks of blu-ray prices being jacked up $5-10 by forced bundling of a dvd+digital copy with big movies now. At least with all these deals you can get it for $30-45 at most places.
I'm on the fence but looking forward to ODST. Considering I will not play any of the online modes, I just want a good single player campaign and I'd hate to have a gimped one cause they put a short team in a short timeframe on it. I expect a lot of out of MS's BIGGEST franchise title.
-
Well, if you're not going to play the online portion (co-op, firefight and H3 mp) then I wouldn't buy the game for 60$
-
Can you get H3 achievements through the ODST multiplayer?
-
Well, the H3 multiplayer is on a seperate disc, different executable and shows up as H3 multiplayer on Live. It's the full multiplayer.
Firefight and ODST campaign are on the other disc

The $60 price point wasn't selected until the game was already done. From the announcement of the game up until a few months ago, Bungie continually stressed that this was an expansion pack at a lower price. I guess MS realized they didn't have their Alan Wake or Mass Effect or Splinter Cell this fall and they wanted to 1. make $$$ and 2. avoid people overlooking this as a budget release.
The campaign sounds like it's pretty awesome to me though. If I didn't have a group of IRL friends guaranteed to do co op, Firefight, and probably some more multiplayer with me, I would not be buying the game at full price.
Can you get H3 achievements through the ODST multiplayer?
The multiplayer ones, yes.
-
Awesome, I dont have H3 cause I broke my disc.
