The Problem Occurred in Halo 2 when ALL Spirit drop ships magically turned in to Phantoms. Then the Elites Sided with the Humans (I'm fine with this) But then in Halo 3 they turned all the brutes into Elite copies Not to mention once again changing ALL the Phantoms (they could have both and say these are updated versions but no they just ALL magically changed over). Also Scarabs Change and instead of a BOSS they just become another thing to kill.

Now in ODST there are only Brutes!??? WTF apparent Mr. 117 already killed every elite in New Mombasa?... and all they had for back up was Halo 3 brutes??? Cuz there was not a single brute there at all in halo 2 right before that ship jumped...
It should of been all Elites and maybe...MAYBE a level with some Halo 2 brutes you encounter.

AND THERES NO STINKING BR! I'm not a only BR/BR's are they best guy but I got really sick of having to kill guys to scavenge enough Carbine ammo to survive. There's Snipers, Rockets, Fuelrod, Hammers, SMGs no BRs...

And In Halo 3 all the brute plasmas disappeared even though all you fight are brutes and now there is ONLY brute plasma rifles in ODST, even the buggers have them...

And why are the guns silenced? Only to make the player think its cool, because they don't do anything, as soon as you shoot every one around you is alerted. Its pointless they should have both SMG's and Silenced SMG's that actually are sneaky...

And ODST can run faster than a Spartan while carrying a turret (all though it is helpful)...

And your "stamina" Is almost as strong as the Chiefs shields seriously Spartan VS. Marine I don't care if they are ODST they get lit up with a plasma rifle and there screaming from having 2nd/3rd degree burns...

And sure you don't have a motion tracker but why is your helmet visor have super enemy identification/night vision and the Spartan armor doesn't isn't Mark VI superior to ODST armor? Not the other way...

And the Film STILL DOESNT HAVE A REWIND! AND YOU CANT RECORD FILM CLIPS ANYMORE! come on Bungie I want more not less...

And no ODST versus multiplayer...

And the Sergeant Johnson player you get for pre-ordering the game is just his head slapped on your ODST outfit not the full Marine outfit he has...but he does talk and say stuff when you play with him.

And only 2 people can play Firefight on 1 box not all 4...Is it that hard to do?

Things I did like

For an extra $40 bucks the controllers pretty damn sweet, even before you consider a normal wireless controller is $50.

Besides Dare and Bucks head/face (which needs work) the graphics are pretty good and I like the engineers they made them in to the game nicely, after you realize why they blow up on you.

And the opening scene when your "dropping in" was really cool.

Bungie needs to realize that when they make a NEW game that doesn't mean they have to redesign everything (even the stuff that worked good the first time around) to get more people to buy it and to keep it interesting. Also they need to realize old die hard fans are more important then new fans, there may be less of them but if you cater to them they will buy every thing you make.

Wow. 60 bucks for 3.5 hours? I'll wait for the price drop.

All the same though, respect to the developers for a new spin on a now classic franchise.

i watched the g4 thing about it and the very first thing was that they ripped of cod4's story telling flashback thing, good to see more games worring about the story as well as the gameplay hope it works out ok

I've talked to a couple people who have done the Single Player in about 3.5-4hrs. They're pretty hardcore though. Halo's not my thing anyways.

Yeah but COD only does it once and goes years back ODST does it about 5 times showing what your Team-mates where doing at that spot a few hours ago.

I remember that, my friend was Beta testing it, telling me about how it was going to be this HUGE seller on the PC only...

Then shit hit the fan and people stopped gaming on the PC... haha

Yeah they shouldn't of bought Bungie or Red vs. Blue they would of been better off alone, they would still make enough money.

I would say that if you haven't played Halo 3, then ODST will probably disappoint as a standalone game. As an expansion, however, I think that the combination of the unique campaign and firefight makes it worthy of being in my Halo collection.

ODST is the exact same engine as Halo 3, so the graphics are basically all the same.

Bungie stated that if you are even halfway decent at the game, you should play it on Heroic difficulty. I finished it in 3 hours on normal, then played it again on heroic, and it was not only more fun and challenging on heroic, but it also took almost twice as long.

It had to get out far enough of Halo: Reach so people wouldn't blow it off an just wait for the new game. Plus they had a set deadline from the beginning. However, along the way, they kept expanding the 'expansion' prolonging the development time.
