[Official] Halo 3: ODST

[Razorwing]

since Andy already started Co-op..I'm looking for 3 guys to join me to start Campaign on Legendary tonight.. anyone want to join? Tonight is gonna probably be around 11pm EST.

anyone else?

[DrunknMunky Veteran]

I would join but I have to be up early for uni tomorrow :(

[neoadorable]

bought it at the Toys R Us like Mystic and got the action figure and gift card. The action figure made me giggle on the drive back home. The game is good, but the visuals i have to agree don't look as good as Halo 3. It's too dark, kinda depressing, even though i realize that was their point. Haven't tried the MP yet, got too drunk on Steel Reserve. that beer sneaks up on you, it's 8%.

Jianbing i'm the resident lush, don't try to steal my act. and as for your question, there's always money for 1) smokes 2) beer 3) games, not necessarily in that order.

dashboard didnt give you the option?... I think its Y under My Xbox??... cant pick up my copy until tonight after work so cant confirm.. but that would be odd if the option wasnt there....

That's exactly where I went just like always but there was no option. I tried scrolling around three different times to My Xbox hoping it would come up eventually but never saw it. I'll boot up the 360 tonight and will see if it will appear before I play ODST for the first time.

If anybody needs an extra man, just add me- XxNoScopeBRxX

Already played some solo, much more fun than Halo 3 campaign was so far. When are they going to add the maps in MP? I mainly play swat, but i haven't seen any new maps yet.

[Aero_Rising]

Mine is getting here tomorrow because apparently release day delivery means day after and no they refused to refund the money for the extra shipping to get it on release day. it was amazon by the way really ****ed off at amazon right now.

So my very initial impression, as I only played a little SP, is I think I might like this better than any other Halo. I like the bleak, dark theme of the city, I like the whole flashback aspect, and I just feel this is a little more traditional of a shooter because you are not as powerful as Chief. This is only after about 45 to 60 minutes of play, but I like it so far.

Hell has truly frozen over :p

Hell has truly frozen over :p

Well in all fairness I have never disliked Halo, I just never loved it, so it seemed as if I disliked it since I did not love it. :laugh:

But we will see, like I said I only played a bit, so I could wind up disliking it, or possibly, although doubtful, loving it. :shiftyninja:

Yeah it was pretty good (Y) Heroic didn't seem too hard for the two of us so Legendary with 4 should be fairly easy I reckon.

If Munky plays ODST half as good as he played Bad Company then it won't be hard. Only thing I didn't like about the game was the difficult just doesn't seem to be there in campaign.

There's difficulty in Firefight due to the sheer numbers and (sometimes) the weapons you have at your disposal which makes it fun all around. Trying to get a group together for the vidmaster atm and knock that at, then start going for 200k on each map (Crater defiently being my fav at night).

You went out with her for 9 years and hadn't popped the question yet?!

Well I'm not much of a marriage/kids kind of guy. And TBH I did a couple years into the relationship, but her parents stopped that because I'm white and they don't want her marrying a white guy :p

?Jianbing i'm the resident lush, don't try to steal my act. and as for your question, there's always money for 1) smokes 2) beer 3) games, not necessarily in that order.

Don't smoke, thank God, but I agree with the other 2. Icould> dip into my savings account to grab Halo, but if you start doing that, pretty soon you don't have a savings account?:laugh:h: . Nah, I'm fine waiting a little bit to grab it.

[neoadorable]

there's no harm in waiting, it'll be there.

so firefight..that's just like Horde. nice, but very hard on heroic, i think only made it to wave 4. those hunter dudes really mean business.

need to get into MP soon.

Wow just wow guys. So much for playing ODST. I hadn't even got to play it today and my console red rings. I turned it on three times today (never played a game) but it worked fine. So I guess no ODST for about three weeks. What a f'ing joke.

damn that sucks.

[neoadorable]

crap mystic, sorry it had to happen like that. that just figures.

This night just couldn't get any worse. After a 45 minute call with a MS tech agent, the extended warranty I purchased on my console that just broke doesn't apparently exist! So the documentation I have doesn't exist I guess. They said they will fix it because of the three year policy for three red rings but what a joke.

The agent was extremely unclear even after I asked multiple times, do you get mailed anything anymore. I know he said you don't get mailed a box (lame) but at one point he said I would be mailed a shipping label but then later he said everything would be in the email I'm being sent.

Can anybody clarify what the f is going on?

[neoadorable]

i know it's easier said than done, but try not to lose it. how long did you have this console?

if you don't get this email soon, call them again, they need to send you a label.

[spenser.d]

I got the RROD this last April and they sent me a box. I don't know that they stopped that. I didn't call though, I just went through service.xbox.com

[Ji@nBing]

That sucks. I believe they just send you a shipping label now. If you don't want to wait and have a bit of PC hardware knowhow, you can try and fix it yourself. It's pretty easy. Just look up a few video tutorials on youtube.

Oh, gotcha. I'm sure one day you'll be that kind of guy ;)

Anyway, been playing ODST's campaign... love it. I think this will be my favorite singleplayer Halo experience yet. It's got more tension and plays more strategically, IMO.

Damn. Now that sucks. Isn't this your second RROD as well?

Wow, it really seems like 50% of the time the 360 Red Rings at the worse possible time. Definitely sucks.

You're right it is more strategic, it's not like w/ Master Chief where you go Charlie Sheen on everyone's ass

Sorry Mystic I almost suffered the same fate but as fate would have it I was ordered to suit up as a Helljumper.

I got an email from them, but am I supposed to be getting something in the mail as well? Or is all what I need in the email?

Yep this is my second one and after the first time it taught me to buy the extended warranty for situations like this (which I now found out is useless). When I go back home for a visit (I'm at college right now), I'll dig up the paper Microsoft sent me and call them up to argue.

I thought we were gonna go co-op on it on Legendary Aye? lol :(.

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.
