I think it got a 4 and not a 4.5 or 5 because they want people to know that it's worth getting but don't want it to explode into a shitstorm since the only video and banner ads on their site are for ODST. That coupled with a 5/5 for what was originally marketed as a side story would be much more likely to receive unwarranted skepticism.

haha. Or how about, the gave it 4/5 because it's not a 5-star game? I realize it's hard for some of you to see past the 'Halo' in the title and all....

Your first post about Halo. Would read again.
 
NOOOO 3v3's on Valhalla and Standoff and I know they are gunna throw vehicles on the map FUCK ME. Just doesn't fucking get that Valhalla and Standoff are too big for 3v3 and 4v4. How!?

Team Throwback ruined.

Shhh stop making sense. You need to come up with a conspiracy theory instead of the most logical answer!
 
Yeah, he's a troll. But troll's usually have some truth's to stand on to make their points.

Either way, the game is mine soon. Wifey already confirmed it. :D

Sgt Johnson codes eh *wink wink*


I can't think of any reason I'd get more than my one code, but if I do, you're going to have to work for it pal.

Edit: Actually if I do get more than one, Ten-Song gets first dibs for throwing a 1-month code my way a few weeks ago.

GameFly is currently showing low availability...hopefully it changes to "At Home" by the time I wake up tomorrow. I've seen it happen before. *crossing fingers*

Unless you had it at #1 Queue and no other games on the list, I wouldn't hold my breath.

Send a friend request too GAF Firefight 2. You can use the friends of friends feature, and get access to a growing number of ODST players that may or may not all fit on your personal friends list.

Awesome, thanks I'll do that, I can't wait to start playing.

Mine shipped this morning.

What's funny is that I never got NFS Shift (only game in the queue at the time), and yet they ship Halo even though I forgot to remove Shift from my queue lol.
 
Nothing yet. I don't think I'll be getting it today. Fucking cunts - Fuck Royal Mail. I went to the local post office and the first one just turned up for work. This is at 2 fucking PM in the afternoon.
 
Finished the campaign in Legendary co-op last night with my buddy. Absolutely loved the game, and enjoyed the campaign structure so much more than I have other Halo games in the past.

Legendary was just as well tuned as other Legendary Halo games, and the co-op was the best its been in a while. Firefight begins tonight! :D

(currently have 715/1000 points in ODST...gonna have to work to get the rest)

It is now time to show the progression of my map, one that I'm calling Synoptic.
Looking pretty sweet, Butane. That no-clip glitch really is a godsend. I won't use it all the time, but what a timesaver it's going to be for some of the more complicated merges. No gaps in the stupid Crypt walls now!


Now is the time where I pray to the Halo gods that Amazon places ODST on my doorstep today...
 
I have another dumb question, forgive my ignorance, but I can't pick up the game at GameStop until tomorrow right? For some reason GameStop's website says that my local store hast he Collectors Edition in stock, but the regular one it says won't be there until tomorrow.
 
There's a little extra after the credits if you beat the game in legendary btw.

Spree medals in campaign make scoring more complicated (stupid): you get more points by dying after your 100th kill and getting all the spree medals again than if you make it through the whole level without dying.

PREPARE TO DROP BABY WOOHOO

I got mine, you gonna be on tonight?! Going to take a run through campaign for a bit, but i"m curios about this firefight mode.
 
Hmm. Thought this was a $59.99 game?
Email from GF telling me the game shipped, and my "Keep It" price is $44.09
Apply one of these $5 off coupons you get every 3 months, and now it's a $39 game.

I expect if I/you buy the game through them, they'll send the entire contents of the package, right? ODST disk, H3 maps disk, and Reach demo.

That's a good deal if it is.

If I stroll into my 24/7 Walmart at midnight do you guys think they'll have ODST out? Do they have any history of this?

I don't really feel like going into Gamestop tomorrow night.


And I hate how Bnet runs on Firefox. The new ODST leaderboards are useless on it:

Yea, my rinky dink Wal-Mart isn't even 24 hours and they do the midnight launches.

Hell yeah man!

Let's do this ^_^. I'm gonna play through campaign on my own first, heroic ( or should I play legendary? Probably not :p ). But yeah I'm down for some Firefight tonight!

Nice, I'm going to hit it from around 7 until waaaay past my bedtime tonight. Have to go learn your tricky language tomorrow night then I'm going to play stupid amounts again wednesday. Then I gotta take a week off and go to the oktoberfest in germany. Rotten timing! Too much rad shit all at once.

I can already tell I'm going to be a firefight nut though. I loved hoarde mode on gears, it's better than actual multiplay, but never had mates wanting to do it.

All right duders I'm heading off to my midnight launch. I shall return with goods.

Whoa, what kind of timezone are you in? Here it's around 8 AM. You in New Zealand or something?

Lucky bastards get everything practically a day early!

"You can never be too sure...
Heh - they're starting early. Relativiox sent us a pic of the 'line' waiting for the ODST Launch Part tonight in downtown Seattle... looks like there's still a chance to get in. (Louis Wu 14:51:54 UTC)(permalink)"

Though in all honesty, if I could be there right now, I would.
