one thing i'll say about the enemy's is that the A.I. is far FAR better. firefight feels like a different game with the same visuals.Hardcore_gamer said:

What, make a very floaty shooter for the largest niche of gamers(Halo fanboys) and copy and paste the multiplayer a few times while ignoring the importance of a single-player campaign? I mean, you said it yourself, the single player could be considered more of a "training grounds" for the multiplayer. Sorry, but I'll stick to Unreal if I want a decent floaty multiplayer game that doesn't require you to shell out ten bucks if you want to play more than one type of multiplayer.

Ooh an overpriced multiplayer game with a "will this do" single player campaign where do i sign up.
What forces you to type a paragraph just to bash a game that isn't out yet for a well known series? A game being popular, debatably overly so, is no excuse to enter troll mode every time it's mentioned.muffincakes said:
On topic I'll wait for some gameplay videos to come out for the silenced smg sections to see how important stealth actually is, as that seems to be the biggest difference between this and halo 3.
Well, first off, the game has been released. Second, I did not bash the game, I merely pointed out certain characteristics about the other games which are true, and that I disagree with(the games are floaty, and the multiplayer is recylcled[although that could be said about any game]). Third, the only reason I stated my opinions in the manner that I did was because of the way Russ said that Bungie was the best at what they do, which is a biased opinion based on high sales figures.hypothetical fact said:
The only troll here is you, for trying to start an argument when one is not needed or necessary. If you disagree with my opinions, fine, to each his own. But don't try to shoot down my opinions an act like you are the high and mighty enforcer; all you are going to do is start trouble.
meh... if there is nothing new about Odst there will be no point of buying it, since the original game was just like Ut 2004 with 10 times more health in the multiplayer mode.
By the way, Halo has not changed gaming history, it has been more of a step in the wrong direction of the console fps

Or perhaps, and I'm just throwing this out there, his opinion is based on his personal experience playing first person shooters?muffincakes said:
Well fine, I'll give you that, and I apologize to Russ for my assumption. However, most reviewers seem to be afraid to criticize Halo because it is so popular, so they make statements like his. Again, my mistake. *Hopes no mods were offended and hides*Susan Arendt said:
Don't bother, it's rather tiresome to convince Halo-haters to think otherwise. They'll always pull that stuff out right back at you. It's best just to avoid them.Susan Arendt said:
EDIT: Scratch that, I see he apologized... guess I should too. I've just grown to stray away from "Halo sucks" comments in every form. The people that make them usually don't take it back.
More on topic, this basically just made me look forward to the game more. I'm a bit overly fond of the Halo story, and I've wanted a very, VERY long time to be able to play as an ODST. And the fact that three of them will be Mal, Wash, and Jayne just make it all the better.
Good one, that made me laugh.KDR_11k said:
Interesting review, not much use to me, I have no 360 to play this on.
I will say that I loved the ODST commercials, and my inner,bitter, Halo-hating cynic, sees a positive review of ODST on a site that just went under an ODST makeover...
But I don't think you guys are guilty of the same thing as that other videogame review site, this is a great site for reviews when you guys have them. So cheers! and I hope everyone enjoys ODST.
Wow. It's amazing how many people can look at a recommendation like this:
and still say this review proves the game isn't any good. Say hello to the internet's biggest demographic which hates a game without playing it, everyone! The Halo hater!
Holy crap that's badass.Susan Arendt said:We're not most reviewers.
And I find it funny to read a review on ODST with the game's ad completely over-saturating the page. Not saying it causes bias, it's just amusing.
