[Official] Halo 3: ODST


Recommended Posts

: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)?

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.

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.

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

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

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.

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.

woot! Amazon dropped the price of ODST to $50.99. They price matched my pre-order and alongwith the $10 store credit, I effectively paid $41 for the game. This figure is mentally more acceptable than $60. :D

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.

?(@ 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:(:(

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

You have permission to break something.

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.

    • ExplorerPatcher 26100.8457.70.3 by Razvan Serea ExplorerPatcher is a versatile and free tool that allows you to tweak and enhance the Windows Explorer. It comes with a range of useful features, including the ability to add new context menu items, change file name colors, and enable hidden features. Feature summary Choose between Windows 11 or Windows 10 taskbar (with labels support, small icons and lots of customization). Disable Windows 11 context menu and command bar in File Explorer and more. Open Start to All apps by default, choose number of frequent apps to show, display on active monitor and more. Choose between the Windows 11, Windows 10 and Windows NT Alt-Tab window switcher with customization. Lots of quality of life improvements for the shell, like: Skin tray menus to match Windows style, make them behave like flyouts and center them relative to the icon. Choose action when left and/or right clicking the network icon. Revert to the Windows 7 search box in File Explorer, or disable Windows Search altogether. Disable immersive menus and use mitigations that help you run the real classic theme without glitches. Discover the program's full range of features by reading this wiki article. ExplorerPatcher 26100.8457.70.3 changelog: Tested on OS builds 22621.4317, 22631.7079, 26100.6899, 26100.8037, 26200.8246, 26200.8457, 26300.8493, and 28000.2113. TIP: Windows Defender no longer flags ExplorerPatcher. It is no longer needed to configure Defender exclusions. Enjoy! Important Update for Windows Insider Users If you're running Windows 11 Beta build 26220.8474 or Experimental build 26300.8493, updating ExplorerPatcher is highly recommended. Microsoft has removed parts of the old Windows 10 Start menu from these builds, which caused ExplorerPatcher's Windows 10-style taskbar and Start menu to crash. This update fixes those issues and ensures Explorer starts correctly after future Windows updates. Because the required components are no longer included in Windows, the Windows 10 Start menu option has been disabled on these builds and future builds that lack the necessary files. A temporary workaround is to replace StartTileData.dll with a version from build 26xxx.8457, but this solution may stop working in future releases. The good news: development on the Windows 10 Start menu isn't over yet. More updates are planned. Highlights Fixed crashes affecting the Windows 10 battery flyout on Windows builds 25951 and newer. As part of that fix, network flyout buttons now behave like they did before Windows 11 version 24H2. Changes to the Primary taskbar location on screen setting now apply instantly without requiring a restart. ExplorerPatcher no longer modifies Windows 11 taskbar auto-hide settings when Explorer starts. The Open Start in All apps by default option is now hidden when the new Windows 11 Start menu is enabled. Fixed Windows 10 Start menu crashes on very early Windows 11 builds (21996–22000.51). Fixed a crash in Registry Editor when switching to thumbnail view during registry import/export operations. Improved compatibility with recent Windows builds, especially ARM64 and upcoming 26H1 releases. Improved overall ARM64 performance. Added Greek language translations. Thanks to @KonVetsos! ep_taskbar Improvements ep_taskbar now supports all 43 Windows 11 display languages. Fixed several issues in the system tray and other taskbar components. For mod developers: DLL naming has been simplified and made easier to understand. For mod developers: internal TrayUI changes provide better stability across Windows builds that use different taskbar implementations. Windows 10 Start Menu Improvements To help preserve compatibility, ExplorerPatcher now includes a newly recreated version of the tile layout engine that Microsoft removed in build 26xxx.8474. Current limitations: Tiles may occasionally overlap when pinned in certain ways. Restarting StartMenuExperienceHost.exe or Explorer usually corrects the layout. Further improvements are planned. Additional Fixes Added a blacklist that prevents ExplorerPatcher's shell extension from loading inside specific applications where it may cause problems. Updated Windows 10 Start menu animation support for newer ARM64 Insider builds. Fixed a rare taskbar initialization deadlock that could occur during startup. Start10 Updates Addressed a new compatibility issue caused by Microsoft's ongoing removal of tablet mode code in Windows 11 25H2 Experimental builds. Pinned tiles are no longer reset after repeated crashes. Various wording and interface text improvements throughout the application. Translation and UI Several interface strings have been cleaned up and clarified. Thanks to @sefinek for wording improvements. Please consult the README for more details.
