[Official] Halo 3: ODST

[Lexcyn]

Well folks, it looks like the Joke is on the pirates - apparently the "leaked" ODST is actually the French version. Complete with french voices!

Yeah but ... that's because it was a French store that accidentally sold the game early ... so yeah it makes sense the leaked version is in French.

French is pretty easy though. :p

so 21 days left who here is excited for this to come out?

I can't wait for firefight the new trailer looks cool and i pre-ordered it so i can use sergeant johnson :D

[Razorwing]

after playing Halo 3 online again.. I begin to realize that I won't be buying this full price. I'll probably get it when it when the price goes down in a few years, because I want to save for MW2.

[Matthew S.]

I pre-ordered tod... err yesterday, there all out of pre-order bonuses :'(

[Sikh]

^ Thats why you pre order way ahead of time. Who did you pre order from? Because all the bonuses are suppose to get here when the game gets here....

[DR3AMxCATCHER]

That live-action trailer was amazing. It's a shame I don't have an Xbox 360 anymore. I'm missing out on Halo 3 and Halo 3: ODST.

I have to admit Microsoft knows how to do some damn good commercials for Halol

[mail]

Damn they would actually make a pretty good Halo movie.

[Qumahlin]

The game would look much better if they didn't decide to go with a film grain effect that you can't turn off, quite frankly the only reason I could think for them doing this was as a cover up for the fact that at this stage the graphics should have significantly improved...and they haven't or to make it look more gears of wars'ish

If game makers want to skimp atleast do what 2K did with Bioshock and give me the option of turning of the bull**** film grain, if prefer to deal with overly shiny textures over making everything look like it was rendered with the dirty camera lens filter on.

[BajiRav]

I pre-ordered tod... err yesterday, there all out of pre-order bonuses :'(

I am just placing my order on Amazon.com. Amazon and Best Buy still have the bonus offer.

[Green_Eye]

Good lord that live action trailer was amazing :| The background music was just chilling! They really need to hurry up and make that God damn movie!

[Lexcyn]

OK so I just realized that like half the cast of Firefly is voicing the characters in ODST. Amazing!! Plus Tricia Helfer from BSG.

[DR3AMxCATCHER]

Well, I played it today. You play for 10 minutes and can choose what difficulty you want to play. The highest score achieved for just one player so far was 20,000 in Seattle by a game tester. I got 11,945 or something like that and my team had a total of 17,845 or close to it. I played at Johnson and it was pretty sweet. I noticed the grenade lobs are no where close to how they have been in Halo 2 and 3. You have more life then you actually think. Melee is a little weaker and the pistol can shoot very very quickly. You can choose from 3 maps but I just stayed on whatever the people before me had. I used a sensitivity of 8 and used Bumper Jumper. The graphics look a lot better. I couldn't record or take pictures of the game because it would hurt the games "image" because of camera quality if you were seen taking a picture you got booted out of the car. Overall, the game is worth it...any questions and I will answer. Also, if you got first place on your team you got a license plate cover saying: "My other car is a warthog."

Here are some pictures:

Me with the license plate cover thing.

what are the boxes?

[DR3AMxCATCHER]

what are the boxes?

You can't take pictures inside the vehicle because it would ruin "the graphics of the game." If I was to take pictures I would have been booted out of the vehicle and couldn't play so of course, I kept my iPhone to myself.

I assume he means the boxes outside of the truck on the ground ;)

My local EB didn't even know there were bonuses. I hate them so much. It's run by a bunch of people who don't know ANYTHING about video games. All of their demo units are always turned off!

[DR3AMxCATCHER]

I'm not exactly sure what those boxes were on the ground for, I believe they were for something for the event obviously but no idea exactly to what. I'll give a more thorough wrap-up of the experience at a later date, I was in a rush to post that to let you guys know what happen and all that. Anyways, I won't be back until late Monday night so with that being said...I'll figure out a way to give you who are interested a better outlook of the game..

My first impression to be honest was: This is not "Halo 3.5 or Halo" at all. It is in it's own little world.

[Sikh]

@Lex: Yeah I wish they didnt just hire any teenager for a Game store and Fusion if you go back say your talking about the "Sgt Johnson pre order that you get WHEN YOU PICK UP THE GAME."

Tell them it literally says "Available at time of purchase, limited supplies". Thats the same thing it says to us(GameStop) and we didnt get ANY in yet. As far as i know thats the only REAL bonus that every company is getting. Other is Reach but that is gonna come inside the game. I dont think there is any other bonus but walmarts own special bonuses(like the lanyards for gow2, only they had those).

As far as I know, target and bestbuy are getting the same "pre order and get SGT Johnson" bonus. Thats it. If anyone else knows different let me know.

@Drown: I will be playing it the 14th I hope. Cant wait, ill be driving 100 miles there and 100 back just to play this game when it comes to chicago. Cant wait. Hopefully I dont work lol.

Hopefully 10 minutes of game play is worth it depending on the line.
