[Official] Halo 3: ODST


Recommended Posts

Ah yeah true.

I guess Neowin should get ready to stop people posting impressions till nearer the time, there's been no reports of UK/English speaking EU countries selling copies in large enough numbers it's obvious if anyone here is posting spoilers they've downloaded. Unless they're French :p

I remember someone spoiled MGS4 for Sethos was it? And that was just a few days before release :/ I guess those weren't copies but so Neowin couldn't delete spoilers/impressions.

It wouldn't make sense to segregate ODST players from Halo 3 players. The multiplayer is IDENTICAL (aside from firefight, which is on the ODST disk anyway), the only difference is you get the extra maps on the disk instead of DLC. Its the same with Left 4 Dead and the GOTY edition - they are both compatible with each other, despite the content on each disk being slightly different.

Like I said, there probably isn't a playlist for the "new" maps that ship with ODST but I don't see why you wouldn't be able to play with the existing playlists since they're controlled server side anyway.

oops wrong grayfox, there was an almost identical named member who was banned.

But MGS3_Grayfox Popisdead the 5th is banned anyway, or at least as good as :)

Fortunately my mate opened an Indy store so as long as I'm doing part time work there he's happy to let me take games out the back till release. :)

Unlike the guys at GAME & co I keep my mucky paws off the disc and box! ;D

Ah yeah my brother works there as well! :D

Just pulling your leg spookie, but if you do start posting impressions in like 2 days people will be suspicious without proof, just saying!

Well ******** to em, I'm not going out my way to take photos of a disc! :p

Well to be fair Spookie it takes like 2 minutes to take a picture, it's the first thing most people do when they get a game early to brag :p

I done it with MGS4 and LBP, you get all excited getting it early and take pictures! Then get abused by jealous people and those worried bout spoilers ;)

nahh just finished it, that was 7.5/10

but really Halo 3 was 9.2/10

And you're 0/10

:woot:

lol @ the very thought Halo is only worth 1.3 more than Wolf :laugh:

Maybe you should buy a game once in a while Draken. You might appreciate it more!

can someone enlighten me with more details on the firefight mode? is it similar to horde on gears of war where you just fight AI enemies over and over? me and my friend gave it a go on split screen and just had no idea what the hell was going on.

    • I wonder how many are laid off for cost savings, and this being blamed on AI to make it sound less scary and bad, for a more positive "modern, with the times" spin for investors? Because Oracle is down 14% the past year. We're also looking at a company struggling here.
    • AI is the beginning, wait until real robots replace more jobs, specifically jobs that require physical work.
    • AI is indeed eliminating jobs, and Oracle just proved it by Hamid Ganji There’s no question that AI has become the hottest trend in workplaces, and every company is trying to adopt AI-driven solutions across its operations. While some industry leaders repeatedly say AI won’t lead to massive layoffs, recent data suggest that AI is actually one of the main reasons some companies are reducing their workforce. According to Oracle’s annual regulatory filing, the company has laid off about 21,000 employees, or 13% of its workforce, amid increasing AI adoption. “The adoption and deployment of AI technologies across our operations have resulted, and may continue to result, in reductions to our workforce,” Oracle said in the filing. The software giant now has approximately 141,000 full-time employees, a notable decrease from 162,000 during the same period last year. Restructuring expenses, including severance payments, cost Oracle $1.84 billion in fiscal 2026. Additionally, around 49,000 Oracle employees were based in the U.S., while approximately 92,000 were employed internationally. Like many other companies, Oracle has fully embraced AI and concentrated much of its efforts on the technology. The company is also a key participant in the United States’ $500 billion Stargate Project, which aims to build multiple AI data centers across the country. When it comes to AI adoption and its impact on the workforce, opinions remain divided. NVIDIA CEO Jensen Huang, whose company has been one of the biggest beneficiaries of the AI boom, recently said in an interview that attributing job cuts to AI is a “lazy” narrative. “The narrative that connects AI to job loss, for many of the CEOs that are doing it – it is just too lazy. AI has just arrived, how is it possible they're already losing jobs?” Huang said. However, statistics and recent reports tell a different story. According to Layoffs.fyi, 196 tech companies have laid off about 119,800 employees so far this year. Reducing staff and replacing roles with AI agents could become one of the most significant trends in the job market in the years ahead.
