Halo 3: ODST
« on: October 15, 2009, 03:55:16 PM »
So what'd you think of Bungie's latest expansion to Halo 3? Personally, I loved it. The storyline was rich and deep and the combat was spectacular (dear God, especially on Legendary).

It was okay. I don't think the hype was justified though. I found legendary difficulty quite easy to be honest. I'm still a massive Halo fan at heart, but I felt there was a lot of wasted potential with this game.
Can't wait for 2014 to start.

Halo and Halo 2 have been on PC for years. If Halo 3 were going to be on PC, it'll probably be a Win 7 exclusive.

Like Halo 2 was to Vista.

Exactly. Seeing as how popular the Halo franchise is though, although declining when Halo Wars was released, if Halo 3 and ODST were avaliable on PC, theres a slim possibility that it would also work with older versions of Windows, provided that Bill Gates doesn't turn it into a marketing ploy for Win 7 like he did with Halo 2 in order to force people to buy Vista if they wanted to play it.

(Already had Vista :D. Found Halo 2 going cheaply on ebay though so I thought 'why not?')

Good for two reasons, Nathan Fillion and Survival mode. The rest.. Eh.

Yes, but they made a patch for XP. I have yet to download it but I'd like to.

What did everyone think of Firefight? I haven't even touched it yet.

That's unofficial and, I think, illegal.

As for Firefight, I've not played it (though hopefully will be at the end of the month), but from what I've seen, it's far too long. In L4D, you'd have to be in a bloody good team to last much past 10 minutes, but in Firefight, you'd have to be really crap to last less than about an hour.

Its like Horde mode in Gears of War 2, only easier, which is a damn shame.

Oh, and Mustang, no. Just, no.
