The Official Halo 3: ODST Thread

If you have a question read the OP first, it answers a lot of them. (Including the one you asked.)

As for your question.

Disc1- ODST campaign and Firefight - OK to install for quicker loading.

Disc2- Halo 3 MP- Do not install.

Indeed. My bad.
Good news anyway and thanks for the answer.

GAF FireFight

Add that and you can see all of us Gaffers who are juiced up and ready to fight some fires.

Voltron and Wu I'm damn jealous you guys have got your copies but happy for you too. Mine should arrive from Amazon Tuesday or Wednesday.

On a slightly related note, my college Film department are taking all students out for a screening of the excellent District 9 on Tuesday so it will be my second time watching that masterpiece. What a day it would be if I saw District 9 again then arrived home to a copy of ODST.

It is translated, hence the sometimes odd choice of lexis and sentence structure.

Great score though, I hope the review is just a taste of things to come.
 
I'm going to have to ask that you bastards who keep getting it early just take a little of your time to actually write one measly sentence saying where you got it. Is that so much to ask?

I think he's referring to the fact that GAF FireFight is full, and can't add anymore friends. I'm in the same boat too.... If there is a 2nd group from GAF I'm down
 
Ah, I just browsed the site of the shop where I ordered the game and they have it in.

My parents where in the city, so I called them and they're willing to pick it up for me <3

Can't wait.

IGN does Halo in five (six, actually) minutes. Pretty good, very amusing and the ending is perfect. :lol

Kind of a stupid question since the game uses H3 engine but worth a shot: if I install the ODST disc on my harddrive, will it induce longer loading times?

This page is awesome.
 
Sgt. Johnson codes are now redeemable.

YES, drove my brother to pick up a copy of ODST, (I'm waiting to get my limited edition), gonna play the new maps now, and then do some ODST later on in the day.

Wooooo!!!!!
 
Hah, video roundup was awesome. "ODSTs are Austrailians who like to wear black."
Pretty much summed up Sargent Johnson dying and the H3 ending. (they were both bad)

I guess I'll be picking up my ODST copy on Tuesday like a normal person. No midnight launch here, So I guess I'll try and finish the campaign sometime that night.

Customs on for tonight?

Okay, GAF firefight 2 has been created. It seemed necessary since many didn't get on the first.

I hope you're prepared to manage that gamertag for the following year or so. No offense, but I'm not familiar with you and if you disappear from the HaloGAF community and never manage that tag beyond a week then it's pretty much useless.

No offense taken. I've been on GAF for awhile, but I don't post much, so I'm not surprised you don't know me. I'll keep the friends list up to date as necessary. I've been reading the Halo threads around here for awhile and wanted to get involved somehow. I figured this was as good a time as any.

Too many selfish bastards on GAF. I asked a couple days ago when people got copies. We'll be playing soon enough when it hits officially.
 
ODST get!


I even got one of those Sgt. Johnson codes (back when I preordered the game @ Gamestop) - I don't even have a Gold account. :o

Will fire up the campaign in a bit.

The store where I got it is only located in 2 areas in Ohio, that's it.

He doesn't die. You discover this in First Strike.
Click to expand...
I know. I've got them all.

But in Halo 1 you knew he'd died because it made sense. First Strike was a fun read but it set the stage for the worst aspect of Halo 2 and 3. Yes he had a few good lines, but he was symptomatic of a particular change in Halo's narrative for the worse. You could have replaced Johnson and Miranda [or Master Chief's Shitty Friends as a mate of mine refers to them] with a dozen or so other characters and the game would have been better for it. There are supposed to be millions of people in that army, why do you keep bumping into the same two, and why did the plot have to contrive to keep them breathing?

Johnson was good in Halo 1 because he was believably mortal.
Miranda could have been good in Halo 2 if the last you saw of her was when she boarded the In Amber Clad halfway through Cairo Station.

They both removed the need for other more believable characters to be onscreen.

Also, I completely agree.
 
lol @ calling the game Halo: ODST on the box but the actual troops OAST ingame.


Joke's on me for buying the German version instead of importing!

Get an avatar so we can start to recognize you. Something stupid, retarded, sexy, funny or creative. Might include a Halo reference and stick a theme.
 
I am so torn right now...

prepare for a long story/look into my life.

Well... maybe not 'that' long.

A couple weeks ago I went to PAX... Which meant all in all i was away from home for about four days... prior to that I was hanging out with my friends for three days... so basically pax+friends was a solid week of gaming.

Problem is I live with my girlfriend, and she was less than impressed, but still extremely understanding about the whole thing... The main problem though was the day after I returned home from PAX I left to camp (remote location for work)... So it has been almost two weeks since I saw her last, and I am flying home on Monday September 21st.

I know she misses me like crazy, and can't wait to see me... buuuuuuuuuuuuut... that's also the night of the ODST launch party in Seattle.

fuck.

So do I even try to ask and see if it would be ok if I went to the Launch party? Or do I just go home and appreciate my time with her?

help GAF!

also, all these early copies of ODST are making it extremely hard to wait... :xxxxxxx

Bring her with. Might give her a better appreciation of your hobby and hell, she might even have some fun. ;)

Also, it makes me sad that nobody has offered to ODST my Gaga (ifunowutimeen).

Oh my ... WOW! That is amazing! I assume thats their rendition of the forerunner civilization.

And Dax, thats avatar is also great. For all the shit you got for your previous avatar's odst-fication, this one totally makes up for it.
 
What I am happy for is that, even with all you guys getting this game early, there hasn't really been any story spoilers posted from the leaks. Hope it stays that way till the 22nd.

Also that art is gorgeous. Would love higher res versions.
 
Updated OP with video links, soundtrack preview/review and the two GAF Firefight tags (both at the top of the OP and the Firefight section, for good measure).
