[Official] Halo 3: ODST

[Sikh]

^ Your confused. You DONT need halo 3 for this game. This game goes so far to include a Halo 3 Multiplayer disc.

So unless you play halo 3 campaign you wont need it anymore.

[Ayepecks]

You want your $60 back?

Why is it that whenever someone makes a critique of a popular game (read: Halo) that there's a knee-jerk reaction?

[Razorwing]

can anyone join me and Fusion for Deja Vu right now?

[+Mystic MVC]

My friend and I are a good ways through the campaign. I don't know when we will get to play it next but we just passed the level where you needed to get 15 headshots for an achievement.

[virtualmadden]

Finished most of the single player achieves, but willing to help out with the multi-player ones. Might be busy some of the time with hw and gf, but send me a friend request and we'll see.

[Sikh]

Anyone wanna firefight or ANYTHING add me ProudSikh. Besides school and gf, ive been pretty free and most of my friends that ive been playing with since monday night/tuesday "morning" have other things to do now(go figure, putting off school for a game would not come back and bite your ass...).

Anyway, anyone wanna playing ODST, ProudSikh. Hit me up. I have a mic and am a team player and such.

Microsoft stated that all people who:

"...use external methods with a PC to unofficially put a SGT Johnson addon to their profiles are trackable. The used code can be read and we are aware of the current codes being exploited. All profiles using these codes will be banned permanently from the Xbox Live service."

just a heads up people.

[Smashing Pumpkin]

woah woah woah, all profiles, as in they will ban your gamertag for getting Sgt. Johnson.. harsh!

Source? Cause I'm googling the hell out of it and can't find anything.

Edit, Also, if microsoft can't determine if the xbox's hard drive has been tampered with by now, I don't think they can really read the hard drive while your online. So I think this may be bogus until you provide a source.

ayepecks i don't think V-99 meant it aggressively, it's just that he likes this game and wants to stand up for it. just like talking about MS banning people invariably gets a response from the pro-mod/pro-hack lobby etc.

i don't even know what all this Sgt Johnson hoopla's about. What's the big deal with people adding him to their Halo save files anyway?

Cause it was a pre-order bonus apparently. And you could only get it if you pre-ordered the game from select retailers, which is complete bogus in my opinion cause not all stores would offer this.

But Still, without a source, I think that this is just all just made up. I tried searching for an official source from majornelson.com / microsoft.com / xbox.com and still haven't been able to find any tangible leads.

[Unrealistic]

I doubt it is made up. If you use a redeem code to get the content, they can easily verify if you didn't use a code to get it. Their system is closed/proprietary for a reason.

Go ahead and try it and report back so we can verify their response. :)

Still no official word from microsoft from what I can gather from the net. So far I think that this may be made up. Also, when the marketplace first opened up online, there were loads of glitches that occurred in which people downloaded bonus materials for games that were not verified for. Yes, Microsoft did do some action towards those members, but others who said that they downloaded it have not had any of their content removed from their hard drives. Once on the hard drive, always on the hard drive.

Edit: can say that a friend had done it, and so far he hasn't been banned whatsoever.

That's right I wasn't being aggressive. I meant to ask a genuine question, "do you feel you got your moneys worth?"

Sorry ayepecks.

[fhpuqrgrpgvirzhpujbj]

Is anyone gonna update the op? It has the cover from before they changed the name from Recon to ODST.

Just read it on some torrentsite, there was no source, just copypasta. but better safe than sorry I guess :p

Sorry ayepecks.

Gotcha -- no problemo!

Yeah, I gladly paid $60 for this. I think it's more of a $40-$50 title since I already had the multiplayer with Halo 3, but I don't regret the purchase. But the graphics are still fairly dated. Hopefully Reach will utilize a new engine (or heavily modified/updated).

Anyone down to try and get the FF and Deja Vu achievements?

[neoadorable]

i agree with most of ayepeck's observations, it's a good game that has some very obvious shortcomings - mostly the short game time and rehashed MP. speaking of which, every time i play team slayer ranked it goes to the same map - i always forget what it's called. but it's just that one, not like Halo 3 which cycled through a few of em.

nestea, doing all that stuff is pretty juvenile. i mean all that for a skin? i understand the need to defy authority, but it's not like anyone's forcing them to play this particular game to begin with.

[Ayepecks]

Man, if I ever get some spare time I'd love to try for all the online achievements with people, but it doesn't seem like I do. After I get off work I go work out and I never get home until 8 p.m., and I have to get up at 6 a.m. weekdays. Gah.

I'll have time one weekend, I just don't know which one.

[neoadorable]

oh you silly employed people...your incomed days are numbered :devil:

a joke for sure, i don't wanna jinx ya.

[+Mystic MVC]

Guys weird question for everybody. Now because I have ODST, do I need to have the old free Halo 3 DLC that I downloaded on my hard drive? I was just clearing things out on my hard drive and realized that DLC might not need to be on there.

Now I digress. Who else has installed ODST to their hard drive? I can't believe it only takes up 3.5gb! My 20gb hard drive has over 6.1 gb's free on it. It hasn't been this empty ever. :p

[Ayepecks]

^^ Not really, no. You can delete it.

I installed it to my HD, too. Great load times.

Amazing here too. I love how games take up even less space now and they load faster than ever.
