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 ...

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 ...

Games like ODST make me wish for a simpler time: a time of PC gaming. It seems like eons ago, but I remember when a developer would make a game, and if they wanted to add content, they would release an expansion pack for another $20 or so. They realized ...

I came into this game with low expectations. From the gameplay videos, interviews, previews, and whatever else I saw, it looked like it was going to be Halo 3, but played from a different perspective with a new game mode added to get some more money. It turns out that's ...

More Quality Halo: Fun, But Limited Changes

Halo is a great franchise that I've loved and spent a lot of time with, but I can't say I've kept up with Halo 3's multiplayer, largely in part due to DLC eventually becoming pretty necessary to enjoy most of it. Then Halo 3: ODST rolls around, offering a new, ...

Halo 3: ODST started as an expansion pack to the original mega-selling Halo 3. However as development in the game grew, Bungie decided to make it more than just an expansion and the result was Halo 3: ODST. The game takes place during the ending events of Halo 2 and ...

Halo has always been about up front, in your face action and ODST attempts to shake up the formula a bit. It’s more or less an expansion off of Halo 3, but it does add some unique components like Firefight that make it stand out. It may retain ...

SHORT BUT FUN, HALO: ODST PROVES THE HALO UNIVERSE STILL AS LEGS. Playing a first-person shooter based Halo game without being the iconic Master Chief is rather odd at first, though in the end it seems to be a welcomed change. WhenBungie Studios first announced Halo: Recon, it was originally intended to be a side expansion ...

I could’ve sworn that the appetite for Halo was long ago sated. We already got not one but three very sizable shooters. All of which were very similar (albeit incrementally improving) titles that involve largely the same identical marines-hurting-aliens gameplay. Halo 3 was a sufficient finale, offering more of ...

Note the inclusion of "Halo 3" in the game's title, "Halo 3: ODST." While the plot of the game has nothing to do with Halo 3, this is still an appropriate title. ODST is an expansion pack to Halo 3. ODST contains a new campaign, which is about half the ...

The Halo franchise is incredibly popular, and for very good reasons.
