Whats the hype all about for ODST?

[QUOTE="BioShockOwnz"]

[QUOTE="Rza_rectah"] So like I said before but other can't seem to understand with the GoW. So say you already own halo 3 the Heroic and legendary map packs what would justify the 60 dollar price tag besides the halo in the title. Rza_rectah

Errr, because I want to play the freaking campaign. :| I paid $60 for Uncharted with a 7-8 hour campaign. And I thought it was worth it. What's so hard to comprehend here?

Say it with me now RIP OFF.

Not comparable by any stretch of the imagination. Need more straws!

Both GTA expansions use the world that was created in GTA IV. The missions, story, animations, etc, are all that change for BOGT and LATD. None have had a new hub world created. Neither have had new environments created for the missions. It's the same world, just like Burnout Paradise. The work was already done there. ODST did not have such a luxury.

So please, less falsehoods and more facts. Thanks.

Yeah, uh no. Not for me. If it took you longer, then cool beans, bud. I could explore New Mambosa in ODST and stretch out its time, too.

Firstly, i own all 3 consoles, so no fanboy here as my 360 probably gets the most play time. I just don't get why people are so excited about them being ripped off for what is, at its core a $60 DLC :?.

Whats so special about it?

fake edit
Just did some more research on the internet, and reportedly Alan Tudyk is in it as well. I am now purchasing this game confirmed.

[QUOTE="BioShockOwnz"]

[QUOTE="sexxxyboy"] um uncharted was aroun 10-12 hours.sexxxyboy

Yeah, uh no. Not for me. If it took you longer, then cool beans, bud. I could explore New Mambosa in ODST and stretch out its time, too.

You're = You are.

Anyways, I beat it in 7-8 hours at a pretty slow pace, too. Whether you or said reviewer did such, is none of my concern. I do not care. Only my experience is what matters to me and thus is what I will speak of. But hey, I speak from actual experience, yet you make claims about 360 games you've never played, yet come after me when I say something with experience. Hmm...

[QUOTE="OPuniverse"][QUOTE="Rza_rectah"] the campaign is gunna be half *** its only a DLC not a full fledged game. You dont see rockstar charging 60 for BGT or LATD those are both the same length aswell.Rza_rectah

Overpriced expansion with multiplayer maps. Oh and as a bonus a short single player campaign. Bread_or_Decide

Errr, cause you're not playing through the Halo 3 levels in ODST. That IS a fact. :? Point me to the hub world in Halo 3. I'll be waiting... How can people state false information then try to turn it around on others. Both GTA IV expansions use the GTA world built in GTA IV. ODST does not. Those are facts, my friend. Enlightened.

umm ok first of all DID U PLAY ODST YET??? how did you know it gonna be half***? can i use ur crystal ball. OPuniverse

Bungie better not cramp the style of the Firefly crew. Curse them if they allow this to fail with their spacey writing and storytelling. Let the superior IP prevail here please.

[QUOTE="OPuniverse"][QUOTE="Rza_rectah"] I seen some screen shots and gamplay its the same game as halo 3 released 2 years later just to milk the halo fans. This type of practice should be condemned not welcomed..

Rza_rectah

[QUOTE="Rza_rectah"][QUOTE="OPuniverse"] wow so you base the game off screenshot? I suggest u go to the thread i just make which show a campaign playthrough of ODST. I can at least tell a few things different from the other halo games.OPuniverse

[QUOTE="BioShockOwnz"]

[QUOTE="Rza_rectah"] what makes you think the environments will be radically different you have some facts my friend?Rza_rectah

Another post and more misinformation. No offense, of course, I mean no harm, but you're stating things that just aren't true. No other Halo game has had a hub world except for ODST.

[QUOTE="OPuniverse"]

[QUOTE="Rza_rectah"] and gameplay which i also said.Rza_rectah

[QUOTE="Rza_rectah"][QUOTE="OPuniverse"] oh good for you. You watch it yet you still say that it is the same as halo 3. I have no comment on that.

I knew it was sarcasm but I disregarded that. If I don't find value that other find in a game because I don't like the game at all then that makes me ignorant interesting. I don't feel I been ripped off I never bought the game but I feel the game is a rip to those who buy you can't understand simple English can you but yea agree to disagree.Rza_rectah

Cool. Just like the way you disregard the feature lists that several other people here have mentioned.

So 3 additional hours. Is that because the other hours are a copy-and-paste of Halo 3's campaign? Because Halo 3 is open world? Or is it because in Halo 3, you play as an ODST with no shields or recharging health? Possibly it's the inability to jump super high or run fast? Or that Halo 3 has the different visors giving you different views of your environment?

Or maybe, just maybe, all these things actually ARE different in ODST, thereby altering the mechanics, mood and pacing of the game.

So those other hours you're not counting..... where are they?

[QUOTE="BioShockOwnz"]

[QUOTE="Rza_rectah"] The halo game has be the same since halo 1 similar environments and gameplay which arises the same question why would you expect radical changes if its only an expansion.Rza_rectah

Nope, ODST is structured radically different. There's a hub world to explore with missions marked on the map, like a Red Faction: Guerrilla, GTA IV, etc. No Halo has offered a hub world and missions in this manner. That's a fact. You're statiing misinformation, and I'm trying to help you understand the facts here.

Well, that's cool.

Halo: Firefly edition. hahJandurin

But seriously, to not take advantage of the Firefly characters here would be a humongous failure of epic proportions, a tremendous disappointment and an unforgivable crime against all that is good and proper in this world.

- New Story: Halo stories always captivate me the most and I really like the humor. I am also interested in the halo storyline, and I don't want to read.

- New Mode: Firefight is the main reason I want this game. Looks really fun

- New maps: I held out on buying the halo 3 maps, and now I'll get them all at once. There's no telling how many hours will go into these maps.

- Same great Halo gameplay

What baffles me is that people are actually saying this will be more of the same. And then those same people hype Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 which is the SAME as Call of Duty 2! But that's besides the point, because ODST is NOT more of the same at all. In fact, it's radically different. The game design is TOTALLY different. First, and least of all, it's open world. That's a huge change in pacing. Second, and much more largely, the protagonist is not a spartan. He does NOT have a shield, and he is much less manuverable. See, in Halo 3s campaign, I could bunny hop around and get shot hundreds of time without ever having to worry because of my recharging shield. With that gone in ODST, every SINGLE encounter is going to require all of my effort to survive. If I bunny hop like I did in Halo 3, I am either dead or in serious need of health. That changes the way the ENTIRE game is played. I am forced to play strategically. This game could not be MORE different than Halo 3.

But I guess haters will bash senselessly, as usual. :roll:

Because It Is what It Is. ;)

people are hyped because you play as a different character other than the master chief. Game should get around 8.0- 8.5......or totally fail like halo wars.....ReaperV7

well tbh, I also am not a fanboy, and I am really excited for ODST, more so then I was for Halo 3. I like what they are doing with the game in branching it out, and I really like the whole new multiplayer. (firefight looks amazing.) Im still more excited for reach though tbh.

well no ones making you buy it.i mean. i personally believe that its worth it.especially since ill be selling my halo 3 for about $25 so im basically getting $35 game.thats going to have new maps $10. new campaign, and firefight. i cant wait.

First, I've seen very few threads hyping Halo ODST.. Even lemmings are causious about this title.

Second, why shouldn't lemmings hype an exclusive game coming out for their system? Cows hyped Lair up until the day it flopped in scores.

Third, Halo ODST was originally listed as an expansion.. However NO ONE HAS PLAYED THE GAME YET!!! We don't have a clue as to the length of the single player campaign.

Perhaps you should rethink this..

What's so special about it, Nothing.

No hype here for Halo milkage!
