Halo 3: ODST Official Hype Thread (sticky plz?)

[QUOTE="makincopies"]why is everybody acting like the halo reach beta is a part of the game?angelkimne

I think it will get an 8.5. I wouldnt be surprise if it got a 7.5 though.

I said 8.5 months ago, sticking to it.II-FBIsniper-II

[QUOTE="aaronmullan"]Lemmings are being safe with this one :PFloppy_Jim

Not a huge Halo fan, but I do like it. That being said, ODST looks better than Halo 3 to me, expansion or not. I'll go with 9.0

Is it true ODST doesn't have matchmaking for Firefight?Couth_

AAAE, 9.5

[QUOTE="Couth_"]Is it true ODST doesn't have matchmaking for Firefight?Floppy_Jim

AAAE 9.0 That's IF Gamespot doesn't screw us over like with Halo Wars....that game was 8.0-8.5 material and everyone knew it except them.Killer2401

AA but idk if i'm even getting this one, i'll be too busy playing dirt 2

if i do end up picking it up i'm going to wait a few weeks and try to find a used copy just so i can play through the campaign in co-op with my friends

Nope, afraid not. The only way you can play Firefight is if people on your friends list are willing to play it with you. So if none of them are online or are playing something else, you basically can't play Firefight. That's my understanding anyway (someone corect me if I'm wrong, I hope I am). Why Bungie made such a monumentally stupid decision like this, I'll never understand.

Just pre-ordered Halo 3: OSTD. Took advantage of the BOGO: 50% off sale at Best Buy.

The sp is going to have to be amazing for it to go beyond 9.

I think it'll get a 8.5 due to lack of MP (it's own MP I mean) and short campaign maybe. Firefight is definitely a plus tho. I think it will be way better than Gears' horde mode and it's average AI. AAA would be no surprise to me tho.

[QUOTE="Couth_"][QUOTE="Floppy_Jim"] Sadly, yes. Bungie gave some excuse about the engine and said it would take longer to add matchmaking but it honestly sounds like laziness to me.Floppy_Jim

8.5 AAE Its going to be a good game but not worth the $60 price tag.EXLINK

Because it's the same mp that people are playing now? With a few new maps.........

whats with the AAE hype for a Halo game? Seriousaly its Halo....shouldn't this have an automatic "if it doesn't score AAA its a flop" to it. jg4xchamp

How much do you have to put down?jg4xchamp

[QUOTE="jg4xchamp"][QUOTE="mitu123"] It's an expansion.:P

mitu123

oh and isn't there 4 player coop for the main campaign as well? if so thats a good reason as well.jg4xchamp

[QUOTE="mitu123"][QUOTE="jg4xchamp"] its HALO and its Bungie. Expansion or not, the "hype" shouldn't be less than AAA coming from a AAA franchise when its in the hands of Bungie. They are 3 for 3 when it comes to Halo games, on top of that this is by far the premiere exclusive for 360 this year outside of Forza 3....lord knows it wasn't that pile of garbage Halo Wars. I think it should be considered a partial let down if Halo 3: ODST got less than AAA....besides i want SW luls :Pjg4xchamp
