Halo 3: ODST Video Review by GameSpot

[@jasonklosheim7138]

He looks like he just woke up and was told to do this review right away regardless of his appearance.

[@RevolverOcelot1]

"Halo 3 ODST takes place just after Halo 3" Actually, it starts at the end of the 2nd level.

[@hallmatt0210]

***** You mean it take place after the 2nd level of halo 2. Halo 3 ODST is really during halo 2.

[@RevolverOcelot1]

***** yeah oops, my bad.

[@DylanGarcia1619]

Matthew H 3rd mission.

[@robbiefazle7802]

This game is highly overlooked. Its one of the best games I've ever played and one of the best FPS games I ever played.

[@darrendavenport3334]

In other words you havent played many FPS games....

[@BullworthGraduate]

This game is overall the best spin-off game in the series.

[@blackefron]

It comes with 2 discs. Disc 1 is ODST's campaign, Firefight mode, and Halo: Reach beta. Disc 2 is Halo 3 online with every map ever released plus 3 new maps. This includes the full matchmaking, custom games, and Forge mode along with theater on both discs. Great value in my opinion.

[@MrMightyZ]

@acekelly no this is during halo 2. It starts with the covenant ship going into slip-space, just after the Chief lands on top of the UNSC ship and the sarge says "for a brick, he flew pretty good!" ODST: Awesome campaign, awesome soundtrack.

[@angelserrano9049]

There were 360 comments on here and now I make 361..... sorry, I'll see myself to the door now😐

[@marktwain09]

Listening to this makes me miss the halo music

[@Brinta3]

He looks like he was raised by wolves and is only now learning how to interact with other humans.

[@Studio42-JZG]

I'm wondering, if the multiplayer maps are the same, does ODST connect to the multiplayer servers of Halo 3?

[@shomosnicholas5]

i have throughly played through all of the halo' s this is my favourite the story the level design and most of all the music makes it superior

[@napsterxxl]

2nd disk is essentially an original Halo 3 disk with the single player campaign removed. It has everything else on it; the armor permutations, forge mode, theater mode, all that stuff and all the DLC maps. The only problem is that you'll need to play Halo 3 campaign to unlock some of the armor sets.

[@parakidd]

Mom: Clean up your room Me: Can't, trying to unlock achievements.

[@minecrafter5155]

GUYS HELP.. CAN YOU PLAY COUSTOM GAMES WITH 1 FRIEND ON HALO 3 ODST NOT FIR FIGHT HELP FAST THANKS.

[@RogerWazup007]

Do you mean if one person has Halo 3 and the other has ODST?

[@minecrafter5155]

No I mean say me and my friend have halo odst . can we play togethernon different consoles

[@RogerWazup007]

If you both have Xbox Live Gold or are using system link, then yes. One person needs to invite the other to a party, and then you can play together.

[@minecrafter5155]

Thanks so much

[@RogerWazup007]

No problem.

[@MrLunt95]

lol i know his hands were twichting the whole time

[@Studio42-JZG]

The only thing this game and MW2 have in common is the genre of FPS. Passed that, the differences are so great, the two shouldn't be consider competition.

[@naetle07]

@Icemilk15 Microsoft decided the pricing, because they knew because it was Halo, it would sell. Bungie didn't want it to be $60, they wanted it around the $30 - $40 range.

[@RavenLotz]

The reviewer did an awesome job on this review! Keep up the good work.

[@codylamp6814]

This dude was literally canned from Gamespot for being a shit reviewer. Pretty certain he works at the Topeka mall now and the Lemonade place.

[@RavenLotz]

@@codylamp6814 that’s an oddly specific reply. I just try to leave nice comments on KZbin videos I watch. I watched this one only after beating halo ODST this past year so I don’t follow gamespot normally. I’m sorry if my comment upset you in some way. I have no idea who the person is outside of “random gamespot game reviewer”

[@MrTuri93]

Halo 3 ODST was a amazing game. I really liked it, too bad that bungie isn't going to make any more Halo games in the future. But I'm really excited how the next Halo game going to turn out

[@afiqtube]

the extra cd that comes with odst is all the maps of halo 3 including some extras. ODST is a fun game albeit on the short side. i enjoyed it and played through 5 times. some people hate this game sadly. its all about opinions

[@chukliddell59]

lol the guy talkin about the game "tom sher "looks so happy near the end of the video he has a huge smile on his face its awesome :P

[@TheKproductionsful]

i like this game mostly because of the open world environment and has night time missions which look awesome

[@TerrorSells]

This game fucking owns sooo much man. I picked it up last night, played it til 5am, got up at 9 and played again. Firefight is so much fun. Me and my bro had a 90 minute game it was so intense.

[@valtttu]

Okay... ODST comes with 2 discs. Disc 1 has the ODST campaign + Firefight. Disc 2 has the Halo 3 multiplayer, which is competitive (against each other), so the answer is YES. =)

[@outlawkelb]

no matter who you ask but no one can argue that the halo music is frikken awesome.

[@UltimateScOpeR]

Wow this game was great and got rated 9.0 by IGN and firefight was great too. The multiplayer disc was kinder stupid but they've done a great job adding all maps and fixing some glitches.

[@PumaFau]

Of all of the Halos. This one had the best soundtrack

[@auniversalstick]

@Thwacker71 well halo 3 was great this was an expansion to the game and better campain levels but dont dispare the reach beta is epiks

[@ThaUnseen]

@PumaFau no halo 3 has the best sountrack EVER especially at the end of the campaign that song was amazing : 3

[@caelinnis]

@TheLegacyofgaming Yes. This is just an expansion to Halo 3, not a new game.

[@RedTeamSniper]

so if I'm playing odst matchmaking double exp for the weekend do I get matched up with both people playing double exp for halo 3 and halo 3 odst or only odst?

[@Lyrooooo]

A bit of both you have stamina which gets reduce over time as you do more dangerous things i.e. fighting and falling from heights

[@slappynick420]

Can you play online halo3 from the odst disc or do you still need to buy normal halo 3 could someone answer quick

[@multipomeranian]

can anyone help if there are two players what if one dies will you have to restart from the last checkpoint or if one dies the game wont end like the game ends when both players die?

[@bballstarcrazy8]

this game was great for me because my halo 3 disc broke right after i beat the campaighn so i never got to play multiplayer until this came out love this game

[@Spacey399]

Right, a question. I don't have Halo 3... these multiplayer maps that come with ODST, are they for Halo3 do they work for ODST too?

[@BluexSeraph]

@gsum41d okay let me do the list: characters actually have personality's The story is actually better (im not good in describing so yeah) ODST has a unique story, while in reach its uses the overused planets being destroyed by aliens and there is no hope formula

[@CragsCorner]

@VideoGameUploads IT IS!

[@fox110110]

But your guy doesn't have an energy shield, so does your health regenerate like in cod? or do you have a health bar and have to find health packs?

[@wawern]

Rofl, the reviewer looks really comfortable xD

[@RavenLotz]

@123 Kidd rolling on the floor laughing

[@asdfghjklkjhgfdsa69]

looks pretty good. graphics have improved a lot :D might just get this when i get my FOURTH 360

[@JLDreamer289]

Yeah this game is Awesome. Wish the Campaign was longer but it was still Great!!

[@Cornelllaxlover11]

nice yeah i cant wait i love odst and am finally getting it

[@yayap001]

no when you put in the second disk its basicaly another main menu but with only mulitplayer lobbies, and thetere, and all the maps, and it also loads your custome games so the only reason to go back to normal halo 3 is to play the original campaign

[@nickster0]

@PINOYZE No. u can tell cause its not a Mk helmet, its a odst helmet.

[@fireskink17]

it has a halo odst story disk with fire fight multiplayer and a halo 3 online multiplayer disk it has every map including halo 3's and all the dlc's plus 3 new ones

[@RedBlood1994]

2 questions: how is the online aspect and do a lot of people still play this online even with modern warefare 2 out?

[@X111ESILENTX111]

I'm a sony fan and loved uncharted but even i have to admit this looks like a good game.

[@aperson30]

@VideoGameUploads yup exept they added it to matchmaking so you dont gotta find a friend

[@meandmyfriends999]

if your a CoD fanboy who only plays a game for blood,intense swearing,drugs,and nukes,this isnt for you.but if your into soundtracks,storytelling,and actual gameplay,then you'll love this game :3

[@Slimshadow457]

@aperson30 Yeah, no, 3rd one's great on that level. Plus, most people play Reach now, only the dedicated fans go back to 3 from time to time :/

[@mynameismrgooey]

@TheItouchiapps there are still people playing halo, less 12 year olds since they moved to COD. and firefight, is much better than zombies. Unlike zombies, there is creativity for each wave. Enemies dont run faster or have more health, the whole gameplay changes.

[@Highbudget]

@9nxt How does it take place at the end halo 2? the city gets destroyed at the start of halo 2, and thats the intro too this game

[@xxgoalieman31]

i got the game its good worth getting havent finished it yet the flash backs are really good walking around finding the flash backs gets kinda boring

[@LostUtopiaFilms]

this game looks awesome, but what i dont understand is why don't they just make this Halo 4? well then again i guess he did say at the beginning that this takes before halo 3

[@xFIRERUSHx]

since i got this game for 15 dollars i am happy. had it been anymore i would have been furious!

[@melocoton99]

24 Multiplayer maps. If you havent download any of them IS WELL priced at 60$.

[@RedFactionWilliam]

It took me about 15 hours if not more on Legendary but i wasted quite some time trying to collect all the hidden audio tapes. Anyways the levels are pretty big and complex and especially if you take it on Legendary it is a tough game and will require time and patience to beat it.

[@XxMusashiYamatoxX]

yeah it is which sucks. I like it how for the PS3 you can just plug in a computer hard drive or use a PC mic. They don't force you to use only Sony-made products like Microsoft does. But of course there are also cheaper 3rd party peripherals for both consoles :)

[@treckter66]

odst is the best halo game and reach is coming up so that will give you the spartan experiance your looking for.

[@IcyShard1001]

"shields" did he mean stamina?

[@RavenLotz]

The ODST’s have shields and a health bar.

[@xFIRERUSHx]

I had fun with odst. it was okay. the campaign seemed a bit more polished than halo 3 but other than that, halo 3 is far superior. odst was like 4 hours long, firefight was okay, and the only real good thing about this game was the 2nd disc since i had none of the dlc for halo 3. i give the game an 8.5. halo 3 is a 10.

[@blackefron]

Sure is. Are you gonna buy it? I got it at the midnight launch. It is amazing.

[@doomsdayassault]

omfg. this looks even better than halo 3. and he didnt even mention you will be able to play the halo reach mp beta in early 2010.

[@Slimshadow457]

@LBGreenthumb I personnally found the multiplayer fantastic, but the community horrible. People Campin' everywhere, rushing the power weapons or betraying you if you get "THEIR WEAPON", people booting you for no reason , people somehow betraying you on purpose, but that aren't able to get booted...(ex: you have a room full of 4 enemies, you shoot a rocket, team mate jumps in front of the rocket. Booted.) That's why I play mostly SWAT, Invasion, maybe Infection and Action Sack. (And Grifball)

[@ThaUnseen]

@NikolaGB dude they dont even have halo 3 yet dont be in a hurry altough you will need a heavy video card to handle it but remember dont be hasty

[@MajorRochey]

I got the game and it's great but for some reason the audios gone in the videos. Anyone no why and how to fix it :)

[@gthotshot]

how long does it take on legendary solo?

[@quilesboy]

Well, the firefight/horde formula was used before gears, and so was the red screen thing. Was this Bungie's way of trying to 1up Epic? Or just them implementing more fps features? Who knows.

[@Seiferzed]

@btcc11 it is awesome ! i never played fallout 3 and will be buying it after i finish fallout vegas for sure .. its not a regular shooter though , but if you are a fan of having shitload of weapons and unlimited possibilities in a game then you will like it ! check the gameplay and reviews too .

[@050Hidden]

I'm not on Bungies cock but I know what goes into developing a game and making it work, when you only have a year or less to complete the project, shit gets tough and other shit gets scrapped, you can even see that from Halo2 with all the shit they tossed out due to a lack of time. The only developers that really mastered dropping new games in a year or less is Treyarch and Infinity Ward.

[@yayap001]

the first disk is odst and fire fight the second disk is all the halo 3 maps

[@blackefron]

No. Disc 2 is Halo 3 without Halo 3's campaign. Just matchmaking, custom games, forge and theater. With every single map ever made.

[@101cgk]

is the flood in halo 3 odst?? (please reply!!)

[@tothe99thloser]

it could be one of the glitches of the disc because i read that some people have new disc that doesn't even work on their xbox 360 (old and new) however you should check out the options just in case if you did something to it. Other wise go back to the store and receive a new copy.

[@Grippli78]

ODST was pretty much Halo 3 with new colors and extras

[@MrCreelers]

The bad things were that the annoying damage indicators. Not the 6 hour campaign, or the fact the multiplayer is just all halo 3 maps? Or that firefight is a friends only game mode?

[@NostalgicPrototype]

Looks pretty good and i'll probably get it but it definately seems the graphics are a bit below par.

[@ROTO546]

do you get to keep your armor from halo 3?

[@BoneyHead959]

Am new to halo but I think it's the music theme.

[@AquariusProductions1]

firefight made me better at halo thats why i like it so much

[@master3178]

"not for dudes with night vision goggles and people who live in the arctic!" haha its from Blades of Glory

[@Highbudget]

The only thing i didnt like was the fact that you werent fighting the elites. They clearly werent on our side during the time this story takes place

[@inyango1]

woooow,looks like im a passenger on your boat,im getting the elite and odst on christmas ,in 3 more days!

[@Cornelllaxlover11]

@spideyO10 i am in the same boat as you. i am getting an xbox elite in 10 days and getting odst. dont get halo 3 at first since odst is all that but the campaign and better.

[@TimeSplittersChimp]

I can almost swear on my mothers life If they made a Halo game with GRAPHICS like Killzone 2 Gears of War ect then all these PS3 fanboys would have nothing bad to say about Halo Graphics are not everything but i really do hope they make one with Unreal graphics just to show what it could be like

[@valtttu]

No problem dude!

[@liamp1000]

can you play firefight on single player?

[@darkchiefReborn]

@VideoGameUploads they did

[@jubailblast]

Gotta love the Halo soundtrack!

[@aperson30]

@Slimshadow457 its hard to camp in halo, theres only like one spot in each map but you can just nade them out.

[@minxamo]

it wouldn't make sense for them to put a load of new guns in, since ODST is set between halo 2 and halo 3

[@Ayyyy90]

dis like gears of war u can see how well ur doing on those achievements

[@CharlieDntSurf1]

Firefight mode needs matchmaking support. None of my friends bought this so I am stuck playing with myself. "Thats what she said." lol. Seriously though it sucks playing firefight alone.

[@Nibourn]

yes it's possible!

[@EtMikkie]

I have both, and personally I'd recomment this. DA:O is a fairly good game.. but it just didn't seem as fun for me. Plus if you plan on playing online, not choosing ODST would just be stupid (:

[@BigR3DRocket]

its a halo game, made by bungie. every halo game made by bungie has had split screen co-op

[@southpaw117]

@Noodle52 He also doesn't bring much personality to the way he presents this review; it's too easy to tell that he's just reading some cue cards without any improvisations on the lines given to him.

[@luisronaldofigo]

the gamee comes out in winter of 2010? right

[@CrazyNut122]

wouldnt another complaint be the lack of new weapons? cmon they had over a year to come up with them and they came out with a gun from halo 3 with a silencer and a scope, and a pistol which is the one from halo 1 more imagination could of been put into new weapons design
