just thought i would see what everyone else is thinking about Halo ODST....if they think its worth it or not

approx 6 hour campaign, same maps pretty much and new firefight mode...is it worthyour $60? (70 here in canada)

personally myself I will be waiting till the price drops or becomes used....or unless 3 other of my friends get it then I pretty much wont have a choice

Maybe, and I mean a big maybe, after a few price drops. I am not really too concerned with playing it right now. Just not really that interested for some reason. I'll stick with Halo 3 for now.

For me yes, all the new maps, firefight mode looks awesome, and campaign looks better than Halo 3's.

yep. gameplay similar to the first halo + new campaign, firefight, and all the halo 3 maps. amazing deal, considering i don't have halo 3. i could see why people who do have halo 3 consider it a rip off though.

I'm not getting it until it's cheaper and until matchmaking is integrated into firefight. If the latter never happens, then I'm never getting it.

No choice I can go with. I'm getting it but I don't like everything Halo. Halo: Uprising was terrible. Complaining about how the campaign is short is petty considering thats the standard. I'd understand if the Campaign was all the game had to offer, but thats not the case.

No, for the same reason I didn't get any of the other Halo games; there are just so much better games coming out and leaving that out, Halo games aren't that great anyway. Plus, they are not my style.

I enjoyed the Halo 3 campaign, so I'm looking forward to ODST.

I've placed it on my rental list at Love Film. I don't really want to pay full price for it.

I'll be getting it ASAP. Anybody need someone to play firefight with? None of my friends are much into gaming, and firefight is pretty much the main reason that I want this game.

I got my copy today. It's really good. It feels really different to Halo 3. The new way they're doing the story is very cool. Well worth getting IMO.

I'll play through the campaign several times. One play on Heroic, one on Legendary, one with a few skulls and scoring on, a few times in co-op etc. And I don't believe the campaign is only 6 hours long. My phone has a stopwatch and I'm going to time myself every time I play it to see how long it takes me to finish it (I'm playing on Heroic).

Getting my copy tomorrow. I'm more interested in Firefight and I don't have Halo 3 so the multiplayer and maps are really peaking my interest.

Halo 3's campaign was 6 hours on first playthrough also. So why wouldn't this one be? Also, I played Mirror's Edge about 30 times through. I actually clear the game in about 75 minutes now. First time I did it in 5 or 6 hours. So, I've sunk at least 50 hours in that but I don't think I can tell people it's a lengthy game...

The Orbital Drop Shock Troopers looks cool...but they could have at least updated the game engine, and I didn't like Halo 3, so I'm gonna pass.

Nah, I don't hate Halo games, but I do enjoy playing them with friends via local game. So I just play off of friends if we do ever play.

Me playing Mirror's Edge? Nah, I don't think so. The game is just really good if you are into that type of thing (which is hard to describe since it's a pretty original concept). And clearing the game is just like playing it. Like you are caught in some sort of flow, flowing through the game... really, if I was a poet I would write one of those gay things over it. It's that good and beautiful.

Liked the short bit I played of it and I can see what you're saying. I'll probably play through ODST a couple times the same way.

You can't say Halo 3's campaign is six hours long. The time it takes to get through it will be different for everyone. It will also take much longer to get through depending on what difficulty you're playing on. And your question, about Halo 3 being six hours so why wouldn't this one be, is also irrelevant because everyone will clock ODST in different times on different difficulty levels. I never said ODST was "lengthy". I was just pointing out that while ODST is short it has replay value. I'm not sure why that bothers you but that's your problem.

Nah, Halo's become pretty irrelevant to me on the whole. Dropped off very soon after Halo 3.

On top of it, it's hardly worth a full $60 retail price point. More like 20... Or a DLC add on.

I'm pretty neutral on ODST right now. I like playing Halo multiplayer with other people split-screen. While I'm not a completely crazed fanboy, I must say that the irrational spew of hatred for the game is just as annoying. I'd get it, but there are other upcoming releases that have a higher priority for my budget.

I am getting it tonight at midnight. And for those of you waiting for price drops, I'll say that halo 3 is about 2 years old and it still costs about 35$, so it will be a while before the price drops. Also, there is no really good titles comming out before borderlands so this is pretty much only a time killer until then.
