    We are ODST! \../

     Lets start off by saying IT ROCKS!!!! lol

    But yes,ill go point by point for this review

    1.Music
    Its fantastic!its so different compared to the other halos,and sets the mood in so many ways.
    Lonely,chaotic,frantic,scary.Favorite song at the moment is Skyline
    Mix of all different types of music in one,kind of blade Runner-ish?/Detective flick

    2.Gameplay
    Wow what can i say?they have done a great job:)
    Vehicle action has always  been spectacular,and is no different in ODST
    Gun play is fun,but it is ''halo''New weapons like the M6S pistol (which i didn't like it at first)but grew on me
    The Silenced SMG is a new one and sounds heavy.Like the battle rifle,i have instant love for it.
    Most weapons are back in ODST,2 no shows are the smg and the battle rifle

    3.Graphics
    Looks great!
    It's dark and moody,Visor mode looks sexy...;)
    cars/buildings/Buses/Vehicles look a lot better and detailed.The weather effects do look pretty sweet,clouds/wind and so on.One thing i don't think they got right was the rain effects?Its should be pouring rain,but it sprinkles here and there
    Don't get why they don't have better rain effects?Gears of War is like WOW"now thats rain".When i see ODST "im like WTF"

    4.Multiplayer
    I Played about a 2 hours of co op campaign,that was cool!
    I Played 30mins of firefight great fun...
    I Played a game or 2 of matchmaking.But its pretty much just halo 3 with extra maps and maps packs,if you never bought them?then i guess you get a little extra
    But yes i will be thrashing Co op Campaign/firefight with friends for sure,they both are very awesome game modes
    It's time for me to get some achievements LOL!


    Other then that small dislike?its really enjoyable game!
    Played almost 6/7 hours of the campaign have not finished it yet,oh its so awesome,they bring everything you want and expect in this game...

      Halo 3: ODST(Xbox 360) by lies on September 24, 2009

       Right off the bat, let's get one thing straight here. Halo 3: ODST is a Halo game-- more specifically, Halo 3 with some slight tweaks. The core gameplay is all still here, just as strong as it's always been. If you've never been a fan of Halo's style of gameplay however, ODST is not going to change your mind. Some periphery elements have been changed, but at the core there is little different in ODST that will attract new players. That fact might seem elementary, but it's important to remember;...

      Halo 3: ODST(Xbox 360) by jimbo_n on September 22, 2009

      I´ve played through all of the Halo games at least once and I enjoy them as shooters. But I´m not a huge fan of the universe and I don´t think I´ve played the multiplayer even once. I´ve always managed to get caught up in the hype machine for each game but this time I was kind of unaffected by it. I still decided to pick ODST up and boy did I benefit from my low expectations. I went in expecting an ok expansion for Halo 3 but before the campaign was over I ended up feeling like this is my favori...
