[Official] Halo 3: ODST

[BajiRav]

Well the first review I've found isn't...

64/100 - http://www.associatedcontent.com/article/2...ter.html?cat=19

Not heard of the site though.

Hardly a review :/ he wasted almost 2 pages discussing what is FPS. I think NDA is till this saturday, we won't see any actual reviews till then.

Correction: It is not a review. Just a re-hash of already known information. I guess he was gunning for page views. Doesn't even look like he played the game.

On the flip-side, I am not expecting very glowing reviews for ODST. Everyone knows this is a re-hash and engine is old therefore, graphics won't be "top-notch".

Cannot wait to play this game. Also if we get ODST, is our Halo 3 disc rendered useless because i hear that Disc 2 of ODST is just Halo 3 but with new maps included. There should be an option IMO to install the maps from the disc like the Halo 2 Map Packs. I guess they don't want people swapping and sharing the discs?

[Kushan]

The MP disk does not contain the Halo 3 Campaign, just the multiplayer.

[Badie05]

O, so its just H3 MP disc. I see. So this renders our H3 Discs useless for MP. Not like anyone plays campaign anymore. :p

I prefer that all the maps are on one disk, dunno about anyone else but the downloadable map packs took forever to load when i started Halo 3, i had to go into forge, go to map selection and then wait 20 seconds as they loaded. This way they will all load when the disk loads.

Anyone else excited that ODST has ended up as kind of a Firefly convention as Nathan Fillion, Adam Baldwin, and Alan Tudyk are all in it in their Firefly character types?

Nope. Firefly was ****.

(And yes, I realise that I'm probably the only person on the planet who thinks this).

Yes, I believe I mentioned this a few pages back. It's awesome if you ask me!

And yeah you probably are! Firefly was/is an amazing show.

[Razorwing]

We should one day before ODST comes out take on a co-op with 4 people on Campaign :D

[Sikh]

^ Im up for it.

[BajiRav]

I'd like to finish the game on my own first and then I am up for co-op campaign or firefight. :D

[DigitalE]

I heard there's another 4-player/Legendary/Iron Vidmaster achievement in ODST :rofl:

[Sikh]

Lets say a little birdy showed me the full LE Box. Its looks cool and the controller looks awesome. I like it better then the halo 3. The tech drawings plus labels and etc just make it look much more cooler / feel like your in the game. Its weighted and everything.

Lets just say this same birdy saw NO extras. So its only reserve orders, how unlucky for the people that have been lately coming in to reserve it. But oh well live with the game.

Now, cant wait for midnight launch. Im gonna be working, but I get to go home and playyy with my new controller.

[madd-hatter]

Terribly sorry, but I don't want to read through this whole thread.

When does the Halo: Reach beta begin? If I don't buy ODST with-in the first month, am I going to miss it?

[DrunknMunky Veteran]

No date has been announced, and yes you'll most likely miss out if you don't preorder. Codes are only in the first batch of ODST copies.

[Pheee]

I dont think there are codes, I think you just need the disc, I guess its a way to stop people selling their discs etc.

[DrunknMunky Veteran]

No if it was just discs then every pirate would be able to join it.

It's definitely codes, every preorder I've looked at online mentions them and it was the same for Halo 3's beta.

Product Description

GAME are starting to process Halo 3: ODST pre-orders, lets see if they let me have it for ?20, due to ?10 voucher glitch. Otherwise, its off to somewhere else.

Yeah already got a pre-order, will see if GAME process today ok. Might even keep both lol.

[Pheee]

Well GAME order failed :(

17/09/2009 Sorry, your order has failed authorisation ? call 0871 200 1221 for assistance.

Due to Voucher Glitch I assume. I probably have same issue as MightyJordan, I guess if I order a product straight it will still block me.

I actually jumped ahead of the gun, stupid email, just got to wait and see :cry:

[DrunknMunky Veteran]

You said it gone through? What makes you think it'll be cancelled now?

What exactly did it say? It was dispatched?

As long as its dispatched it's safe.
