Personally, I love this game. The story is cool, the voice acting is good, and the game play is classic halo awesomeness. Firefight is also one of the best multiplayer experiences I've played since the Halo3/CoD4 flood of greatness that came 2 years ago, even with the lag from Tulak's stupid internet >_>

what did you all think?

What's ODST?

I'm interested mostly because like half the cast of firefly is doing voice work.

Gotta get my halo-fan friend to buy it.

[Heyman]

A good game in it's own right, but I'm already off playing Natural Selection again.

[MiasmaCircle]

I'm intrigued by it, but I'm waiting to see if the price will go down, or if I can luck upon a used copy before I get it.

From what I've read, the price is too high for the amount of content it holds.

It's basically just Halo 1 with better graphics in terms of gameplay (night vision, no-dual wielding, uber-pistol, non-regenerating health), but pulls it off fairly nicely.

[Randleman]

Isn't it just Halo but not from Master Chiefs POV?

[Cakeman32]

I'm not going to buy it until it drops in price...a lot.

[Esau of Isaac]

I want to buy it since it looks quite amazing, but I don't have the money.

I can't stand Halo. But this is one of the reasons I bought it. Nathan Fillion is awesome. As is Adam Baldwin and Alan Tudyk.

While I would normally agree, it could be a good deal if you don't have any of the map packs yet. Seeing how all the maps go for $30 ($10 each for legendary, mythic 1, and eventually mythic 2 with heroic / cold storage being free), it could be a good deal then. As then your getting the game for only $30 (in a sense).

My only issue with ODST is hearing that firefight doesn't have matchmaking. Which means that whenever I get this game, I'm going to need to make some friends. And fast.

[Delta1212]

I'll be your friend. See if you're better at Halo than Risk (Incidentally, I don't actually remember who won that game, so I'll just assume it was me).

[circlewood]

The game itself is really good, but has been mentioned in the thread, not being able to have matchmaking in Firefight really is a bummer. Real big mistake from Bungie on that one.

If anyone is looking for a few game(s) of Firefight and if they wan't to add me then please do. Name - jimG1971.

I have a ps3. Got Uncharted 2 to look forward to.

Honestly, even Halo beats Uncharted

But I'm looking forward to Just Cause 2, Crackdown 2, and Assassin's Creed 2 (wow, lots o' twos)

I came into the water cooler, an area of the forum I rarely ever frequent, to shake my head in disgust at you.

[mythicknight]

Not worth the 60 bucks I paid for it.

And Firefight doesn't even have Matchmaking. That was rage-inducing.

Just finished the campaign, I'll probably sell it next week.

Also, something I just noticed when using the ODST multiplayer disc.

Wait for the main theme to finish playing on the menu screen, wait long enough and a certain new track begins. Eventually it transitions into a remix of what is definitely "In Amber Clad" from Halo 2.

Halo always has great music.

I think this would be a better game.
