Halo 3: ODST

darthincredible25's Halo 3: ODST (Xbox 360) review

Too Fat to Drop

 It just wasn’t as powerful or groundbreaking as previous Halo titles. Halo Wars was a solid but flawed RTS on console, Halo 3 was a great return of Masterchief, Halo 2 showed the world that online play was just as good on consoles as it was on PC and Halo was the reason for the existence of the modern console FPS. The characters were forgettable, the graphics were reused assets of Halo 3 and the game length was too short. The only really great thing about Halo 3: ODST was the fact that you got the complete Halo 3 multiplayer, something I never got into until purchasing ODST. It is basically everything from Halo 3 multiplayer with all DLC. It is, at the end of the day, a great deal, but single player lacked substance and Firefight was not as fun as Horde mode in Gears of War 2.

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...
