@ Cwf2008, it's once of the lowest scores ODST has recieved so far, most people have been handing out 9's.

But yea I agree, Halo 3 didn't dieserve that 10, 8 is a pretty fair score. There again Gears didn't diserve a bloody 10 either, in fact GamesRadar, start being more bloody consistant >.<

How Can Half-Life 2 and Episode 2 be 9's and Gears a bloody 10 and prototype of all bloody things a 9 and all...

I hope Reach is completely different. Like maybe, new gameplay mechanics and vehicles and weapons and stuff. ODST is too much of the same, but at the same time, utilizes them in a different way to create more fun (the open hub world, Firefight).

I loved all 3 Halo games, playing through each one at least twice (wanted the full set on Legendary difficulty) but I am just not enthusiastic about this game at all.

omfg, i do not know what your talking about, yes,the campain missions are extreamly short
and the health is hard to get used too,but once you get the hang of it, it is absolutly baddass, plus,it has the halo 3 multiplayer, AND forge mode,witch,lets be honest, gave halo 3 8 out of it's 10, the campain with co-op is worth at least a 4,and firefight? at the least a 5

so all together,it's hmmm, 17 out of 10?

Hardcore Halo fan? +1
Casual Halo fan? -1

That pretty much summarizes the whole review.

(possible Spoilers)just finished odst...and im VERY confused.. Why is the battle Rifle Not in the game? Why can you use an 8ft long gravity hammer, but No support weapons: bubble shield? Why are there No Elites? i found ONE Body in the Entire Game. the prophet jumps, and within 6hours, the covenant pacts is over? not by a Long shot...But Why does it FEEL like an actual Warzone in firefight? a couple Well placed rounds Can take down a horde of grunts and brutes, unlike halo3 it took more rounds than i can rememeber, plus reload time, to kill one or two brutes plus grunts? But the graphics are incredible, if not "upgraded"(must have HDTV for Full compatibility) And, Sadly, not alot of my friends have odst( or they just Suck...) but invite me to Any firefight game, and you Will Not Regret it: Username: ClassicJarHead

I'm not a huge Halo fan but I took the leap and got it, it may be a little short but it IS sweet. The VISR mode makes a super cool addition in the experience and I got it at Toys R Us this week and recieved a $20 gift card which I turned around and got Dirt 2 with, which seems like a pretty fair deal to me !! Just sayn.

booo, the only thing this is kind of worth is firefight, rent it, don't buy it. Its like i just bought PAC-man from them, then they turn around and sell me Mrs. PAC-man

i disagree with this review. I made a GR account just to encourage you to still get this game. Campaing is short but there are plenty achievements and firefight is superb. i would give it an 8 its a good game to buy until mwf2 comes out

Because i'm such a pro. jk I think that this game is well worth 60 dollars. The only reason that you wouldnt want it is that your too big a pansy to take on someone bigger than you. Its not hard. You just need to step it up a little. btw, Hunters are 1 hit KO.

I have it and it is awesome. I don't know why they gave it a 7. I'd rather give it a 10.
Firefight is very cool, but if your playing it on co-op you share the same lives :( .
Campaign is addicting but once you beat it you just play Firefight. It's wierd, but true!

I think ODST is arguably better then the other Halos, I have played all the games excluding Halo Wars. I t offers the most complete online multi-player experience around. Also the length of the campaign mode, I polished it off in about 6 hours, that is the same amount of time it took me to complete the first Gears Of War game.
