[Official] Halo 3: ODST

[DrunknMunky Veteran]

Peter and I are playing firefight at 8pm if anybody wants to join? I think Ynnoj is also playing :) So one spot left..

[Tharp Daddy]

:punk: They should :shiftyninja:

Yeah that does suck, I wonder why they decided to screw over people who already had all the DLC.

You're stuck w/ your Halo 3 Profile on the Mystic DVD. I just tacked on a ODST Helmet from the skulls I collected.

I really have to say this but this game was not worth $60 and lucky for me a friend bought it for me.

They really screwed w/ the customers who bought the DLC.

Even though it's not my money that got spent I still think it's a slap to my face they did this and I know I'm not alone in my opinion.

If you bought the game just buy it thinking it's an expansion pack because that's what ODST exactly is. IDK why MS didn't offer this on-demand for $30 that would of sold even more IMO.

I had all the DLC also, and i don't mind the second disk at all; i prefer having the second disk with all the DLC and maps then just having a disk that gave me the mythic. I like the updated graphics on the second disk and also the new look of it. I feel this game is pretty much worth it's price, i think $50 would have been just right. I still don't get why Halo 3 is in the name, the game takes place before Halo 3, and its not an expansion they have said, so why does it have Halo 3 in the name (common of an expansion)?

[Slane]

Are you serious? :s That first brute just won't DIE on legendary!

Nah. Only thing that I hated was two hunters. Everything else was meh. Brutes can be taken care off via Needler Combine, Overcharged Plasma/Pistol, SMG/Pistol, nades or just straight melee and dodge there melee's.

Firefight proving to be fun and provide a challange. Trying to finish up 200k points for maps and then get that vidmaster achievement.

[hjf288]

It aint too bad.. $51 I paid (?31.49) and its worth it so far...

I hated halo 3 (Loved halo 1) and was impartial to Halo 2 but ODST is great:)) if not a little short

[Tharp Daddy]

Anyone up for some firefight? Looking to build a good firefight/team slayer/whatever team. Add me on XBL: The Tharp Daddy

So, me and my friend are playing Co-Op Campaign on Legendary. We got past Kizingo Boulevard and instead of ending up at Oni Anlpha Site like it says in the visor, we get sent back to Daves crash site which is far back.

WTF is wrong? Are we being sent into a look? We are following the beacon / radar. Or are we suppose to explore for ourselves? All i know is, until now the games been fine. And now we are dead stuck. Happened to us yesterday and again today.

Someone let me know whats wrong!

The rep must of been confused as **** / system wasnt working. If you got an email with a label thats all you need. If you got an email saying your repair has been submitted, but no label attached then something should be in the mail in 4 days. you have to find your own box. I say find any box it will fit in, throw it in there with some newspaper or cardboard scrap then can deal with the console on there end. as long as it gets there and red rings thats all that matters.

Yea, I think the anger in my voice probably made him want to just get the off phone as quick as possible.

guess that answers your questions, mystic. is it UPS or USPS tho?

UPS.

grr I'm on the last mission I just want to finish that off before joining you guys.

[neoadorable]

good luck mystic. however, they have a tendency to come back to life, if only for a short time...

Liking the Sadie's Story clips, very Dead Space-like. But then again i found Arkham Asylum to be like Dead Space...anyway, they add to the feel of the campaign, but i now worry i won't find them all. Prototype ****ed me off enough with a collectible story.

FF is sooooo hard :|

[Razorwing]

FF is sooooo hard :|

need my help? lol.

[.KICK]

FF is sooooo hard :|

Yeah it is harder than Horde mode on Gears thats for sure. Small maps were harder than the bigger maps. I am sure with practice it will get easier with strategies etc.

But fun though :yes:

[Slane]

So started up Rally Point on Heroic with the plan of staying in the room you spawn in the entire time to get the Vidmaster achievement. 3 hours later, and we finally unlocked it. The very last wave, two of us drop and it was up to the last two guys to finish the 5 brutes and multiply jackals to win it for us. I will never play for vidmaster again. You do it once and never again.

I was thinking just that but I didn't estimate correctly how much that 2nd disc helps. $50 sounds just about right that and the updated graphics are much more to my liking; I must be such a negative guy lol. I guess they put "3" to remind people it took place 2 weeks before Master Chief went looking for Cortana that and it runs on the same engine as Halo 3.

OK, I'm more than a little ****ed off right now. My game NEVER SAVED after I exited it yesterday. So now I have to start all over since you can only replay missions.

%!#%!%^ LAME

[Ji@nBing]

?(@ JB - Drink and play music, did that for 10+ years, so can relate to that)

You should get back into it. I love it. Actually it's probably the main thing keeping me in Canada and not China. If I had close friends there that play and are into the same kind of music, I'd be there now:pp.

?

Jianbing that sounds like a good time, but if you start damaging stuff, especially your own, then it defeats the purpose. Civility counts, more so when you're liquored up. Besides can you even play guitar that far past the watermark? I mean it's a bit more demanding than operating a controller i'd imagine.

That's why I use my less expensive guitar for jamming and leave the Gibson at home. Plus, guitars are meant to be a little beat u;);). And yeah, things get a little rough at the end. Especially when the other guitar player has had as much as m:p:p. But sometimes in that state you come up with some cool, albeit sloppy stuff. We record everything and then work on what we want to work on earlier in the ja:p:p

Adding to the bad news of not being able to buy Halo, my Gold account expired yesterday to:(:(

You have permission to break something.

[Ayepecks]

Whew, I replayed one of the missions and I was wrong, it does put you back as the Rookie... thank goodness.

EDIT: Nope, I was right. Now I get to replay all the missions over again. Oh joy.

anyone having problems with getting the Stunning achievement? It's just not working for me. I've tried going on Uplift Reserve to do it but to no avail. Every time I disable the vehicle, (it's always a Brute) I try a head shot, doesn't work. GRRRRR...

I would say your taking to long to get the headshot (it has to be done fairly quick to get credit for it), but my friend did it on legendary and SMG then brute, and got credit, where as all I did was use the automag for the insta-kill.

I did mine on Kizingo Boulevard after doing 'Both Tubes' and 'Pink and Deadly' on the ghost after the wraith.

Hmm how odd, I thought it saves as you go on by, checkpoints and all!

[D,Ranged]

If any wants to play firefight or some co-op send me a message on live.

[Pheee]

Nope you have to make sure you save and exit.

I lost a couple of hours because I didnt do that :(

[Remysaus]

Same here, was only about half an hour or so so I wasn't too upset about it.

[+Mystic MVC]

Anybody available for some firefight today? I might be able to borrow a console from a friend while I send mine off to Microsoft this week.
