The way I look at it is you can still have a great single player but still be pretty short and be worth the price Modern Warfare is a perfect example of it, add in the halo 3 maps(which i have not purchased any) and firefight I am sold plus Amazon is giving $10 game credit I am extra sold lol.

MW2. I believe you get more bang for your buck. If Halo ODST was, say, 30 dollars i would say go with that, all it's really offering is a short single player, 3 new maps, and some horde-type mode(fire fight i believe its called?)

wiifreak93

if you are going to compare the two games lets be realistic:

  • cod4 campaign was basically 6 hours the devs have said they opted "not to go with an expanded single player" in MW2 basically means that this story line is gonna probably be 6-7 hours halo 3 odst is probably going to be the same so as far length of campaign its about he same.***see below
  • They both have a co-op mode Special Op=Firefight.
  • They both are gonna have great multiplayer which will be about the same as their predecessors

I am just saying I think its wrong to paint halo 3 odst as not even worth half of MW2 just because of those things you point out, you can argue that you find the feel, environment (realistic vs space marine) better in MW but I think it would be wrong to say that its lopsided in terms of value for your money.

I also think generally it seems unfair to hold halo 3 ODST to a standard saying that its campagin is too short when everyone loved cod4's 6 hour game and will love MW2's 6 hour game

******Major Spoilers!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

*****************************************************************************************************************************

Overall I thought the movie was good however one of the main reasons people criticized movies like Transformers and G.I Joe is that you "need to shut off your brain and not think about it" to enjoy it I felt like I kinda needed to do the same with this movie which is ironic given the darling status of this movie among the Hollywood elite, here is what I mean:

  1. what kinda of concentration camp are they runing in district nine how the heck can Chris and the human just walk out of the camp and then what walk down the middle of the city all the way to the HQ of that company and start blowing crap up?
  2. for that matter how the hell did they get back into district nine after they just destroyed half of that building? ok cool they stole the car but then what they just drove it right back in?
  3. Why did the aliens come? Why is the mothership out of fuel? Why is the mothership sitting there? how the heck did they transport 1.8 MILLION aliens from the mothership to this concentration camp but cant move 1.8 million 200km outside?< I feel like we aren't supposed to know these questions for mystery and added suspense which is ok if intended however it would have been nice to partly answer these questions in some way.
  4. Ok, so Chris has been collecting fuel from his people's machines to get enough fuel to power the small ship to get back to the mother ship, ok makes sense but how the heck was his son able to make it come to district nine and remotely control it like that why dint Chris think of that first?
  5. Once Chris is on the mothership how the hell did he get it working and blast off into space? Why if it wasnt out of fuel did they allow themselves to be put into a conentration camp why dint they just leave?
  6. So an obvious answer to my last question was that the alien fuel to power the small craft actually also powers the huge mothership which i find extremely hard to believe i really hope they dint want people to think thats possible..

Anyway still a good movie however i think its a bit bunch to be calling it the best of the year. I think they were trying too hard to make it symbolic, its like if Dark Knight was 2 hours of the boats social experiment would probably still be a great movie but the stuff leading up to that is still good to know.

I still cant believe its only $15 I remember devs even said that it was highly unlikely the price was going to be under $20 so excited for the game
