Halo 3 ODST

It's software that has passed alpha stage and is ready for live testing. That's what a beta is.

A demo is the portion of the game and used as a marketing tool. Beta's are turning into those but in the end, there used to test. You might not find any big bugs but there is, probably on the network side of things.

Essentially, your paying 10 bucks to test the game for Bungie when usually they are free.

I will willingly pay 10 bucks for a chance to try out a game a year before it is actually released.

ODST's main focus was the campaign, even with a new campaign added to Gears 2(making it like 2.5) still wouldnt sell due to the fact that Epic fails at story telling. I am being serious when I say that ODST has the most fun campaign since Halo 1. Truly epic on the last level. I am truly tired of people b*tching about price, something that is never a set factor. A review factor should never be price anyway. Wait a few months and then get it, it should be cheap enough for you then.

Indeed

I like the Rookie sections. It gives the game an eerie end-of-the-world feeling to go through the locations as one of the other ODSTs and then see it as the Rookie.

Probably one of the most fun points in that game for me was when I was riding through on a mongoose as the Rookie with only half a clip in my sniper rifle and a silenced SMG and was being chased by two hunters, a crap-load of brutes and grunts, and sniperfire ricocheting everywhere.

Wont the Beta be out in 2010, same year the game is released. I wouldn't really call it a year before.

FK! I just got all the achievements on Halo 3 and I didnt get no reckon armor. Its there a f*ing glitch?

ive had it up to here with this bullshit free roam crap. talk about a game breaker.

tis taken me an hour and a half to find this ****ing beacon and nothing.

out of curiosity do you HAVE to go to the beacon locations in a specific order?

i'm playing through the game atm and i've got no problems with the game playing or free roam ability.

the one thing that did set me back a little and i had to get used to is the VISR mode, i got slightly disoriented when i played it first, but now it's actually very helpful.

and one other thing that confused me was the story layout, playing as rookie to fill the gaps between the other main characters confused me, it took some time for me to realise the rookie was the device used to link the characters storys

Random Fact:

I chuckle every time I read the thread's title.

😂

alright well i beat the game once on heroic and i started it up today on legendary.

im not playing with my cousin this time so i can focus on the story mode better and now that i understand how things work its actually pretty fun.

i still dont like the free roam segments though. too few enemies far and between. props to bungie for tyring to do something different. but still.

Just beat it on legendary. Found it far easier than Halo 3. The snipers on Halo 3 were no joke on legendary, not so much on this one.

Funny, I found Halo 3 to be the easiest on Legendary.

I am loving the Firefight mode on this game. It's exhausting in the most fun of ways. My friend and I played it for a good hour yesterday.

I thought that Halo 3 was a cake walk compared to this one.

Same here. I was finally able to play it with 3 other friends. We had over a million points on Lost Platoon.

I honestly like multiplayer games such as firefight beter than Free-for-all deathmatches. There is just something more enjoyable to me about standing with a small group of people, surviving hordes of increasingly aggressive enemies than fighting with a team of 12 people against another team of 12 people, or 10 people thrown into an area all killing each other... again, and again, and again.... and again...

Got this earlier from Gamefly, so far it's solid. It's a nice departure from other Halo games. A lot more difficult, but in a good way.

I finished finding Sadie's story the other day, and I have to say, I think I liked that as much as, if not a bit more than the Game's story

I finished this last night, was pretty solid. A nice departure from earlier Halo games.

I do wish they had the battle rifle in the game, though. Missed that gun.

I agree, but then again, having the scoped pistol worked for me, since I mostly used the Battle Rifle for head-shot purposes. Though, I never used the scope to get headshots with the Battle Rifle, just strafed it across their head.

I wonder why they didnt include the BR in this game. It wouldve been sweeter if they had included it.

I bought this yesterday...hopefully it comes soon 🙂

My guess would be because they gave the pistol it's scope back. You don't really need the Battle Rifle with that headshot machine on-hand.
