[Official] Halo 3: ODST


Recommended Posts

Christ! A buddy and I have been playing co-op on Heroic and we decided to throw in the towel for the night. We either really really suck, or you guys are way above average.

We just go to the part where you fly the banshees and protect Romeo. We are both trying to really like this game, but there is just something about it. I will give Bungie credit though as they have really showcased the difference between humans and Master Chief. I didn't realize how powerful he really is (or maybe it was the regenerative health system?).

pretty sure i'm ready to give up on the legendary campaign...too much work. firefight seems to have more promise, so will try to do more of that. thanks for the tips slane.

Gae on legendary is so insanely hard...especially the 4th mission, longest mission ever it feels like. Great game, beat it today on Legendary.

Solo'd it on Heroic, the banshee mission isin't very difficult; just make sure to grab new banshees now and then and USE YOUR BANSHEE BOMBS LIKE CRAZY.

I am thinking about picking it up today, kinda on the fence about it though... I may trade in some old games towards it since gamestop is doing a 25% extra trade in credit for each game... Is the game worth the $60?

Has anyone not played campaign yet, and would like to have a go at it with me on co-op? I've been waiting for a good opportunity to play the campaign, and now would be a good time. :)

I will, GT is my name. Even though I beat it on Heroic it's different every time...

Damn, Need to really play firefight on this :(.

Anyone wanna partner up with me? :)

Hey Fusion, if you have the time tommorow.. can we go and take on Deja Vu? although we need 2 more people though.. anyone want to get the achievement?

Sure. Wanna get brainpan too? (requires disc 2)

<offtopic>Odd I just noticed that I've had a 20% warn since July... and I just noticed I've been here 4 years and this is my first warning lol.</offtopic>

If you want Sergeant Johnson you can drop him in to your hard drive, you need some way of connecting the hard 360?s drive to your computer such as the Microsoft Transfer Kit of Datel Xsata.

Here is the guide, worked perfectly for my friend.

I can just confirm this. Just tried it out and now I got the Johnson on my profile. Didn't use the transfer kit, just opened her up and plugged it straight into the computer (FYI it was already opened before)

hey unrealistic it's not that hard and you can do it, no doubt. it's not like you're new to FPS's. The only tough spot is near the end when there's a wave fight. didn't like that one, hate it when designers do it. They cook up these fancy games with great stories, rich characters, cool visuals and amazing music...then have moments when it boils down to all the sophistication of Galaga.

As for whether it's worth $60...i'd say yes, but begrudgingly so. The SP is great but too short, the MP is great..but essentially the same as two years ago. I don't regret paying the admission price, but then i did it for more than just the game.

Depends if you like Halo enough.

I said previously it wasn't worth it but as I played throughout the campaign and got into firefight w/ some friends I completely changed my mind about it. If you don't have all the maps then it might an incentive for you; but overall it's one of those games to have(materialistically speaking). Everything about it is well made. There is some amount of replay value plus there should be more dlc in the future.

In your case I'd trade some old games to pay for it.

sure. I also want to try and get all the FF achievements on ODST aswell .lol. If you know where the skulls are for brainpan we can hit it up with Nestea. I am up so let me know. I got till 6pm EST tonight.

Played some Legendary last night with 3 other friends, and it felt like Halo again! I guess my friend's low interest in the game, compounded with us getting our asses kicked gave me a low moral for this game. It was quite fun. I have two levels to beat, but today is football day.

they didn't even hide them well >.>

We'll have to do this after 8PM though... gotta go out >.<

    • 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.
