Bulovski Posted September 10, 2009 Report Share Posted September 10, 2009 MP remains same as before - so I assume the SP will be the differentiator. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nash Posted September 10, 2009 Report Share Posted September 10, 2009 ODST is 'meh' apparently. http://www.gameswire.net/news/reviewer-ods...elming_316.html "You just look at it and think 'so what?'. Sure, the multiplayer is fun (it's Halo after all) but it's all built on an old engine (which looks pretty much untouched) and looks nowhere near as good as games such as Gears of War 2 or Killzone 2. It smacks of no effort and is a teensy bit cynical. [Microsoft] needed a big franchise title for this Christmas and presumably there wasn't enough time to build something new, so they gave us new missions on old, ageing technology that didn't really look that great first time round."

MAK Posted September 10, 2009 Report Share Posted September 10, 2009 well for me playing another campaign mode on 4plyr co-op mode with friends & new mp maps is enough for me to buy ODST for just Rs.2k. Firefight mode & Recon armour unlocking after completing the vidmaster's challenges are just icing on the cake.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why not just call it an expansion and price it accordingly! It is an expansion. A stand alone expansion i.e. Plus like the author says, they haven't improved the game visually or added in a lot of new stuff to the MP. I know it's ZOMGHALO!!111 for the guys who love Halo but for the rest of us regular folk it's just another expansion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well everyday there are 200k ppl playing halo mp & almost 350 to 400 k on weekends so i think this game should hit atleast a million copies which in my opinion is not bad at all for M$... Keep the expansion coming M$.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tyler Posted September 10, 2009 Report Share Posted September 10, 2009 ^^ Chill mate! There are people who really enjoy the franchise (and it's actually pretty good tbh... a lot better than other super-hyped franchises... *cough* Resistance *cough*).

I am surprised that there are no visual improvements - they've had quite some time to develop the engine. So is it only the HUD and the game mechanic which has changed?

Solitaire Posted September 10, 2009 Report Share Posted September 10, 2009 The ODST don't interest me as much as Spartans, but Resistance wasn't that much of a dud game either I'm a fan of most things Halo, but they could have used much better graphics on this instead of the old engine used for Halo 3.

So is it only the HUD and the game mechanic which has changed? TBH They have been working on it for a year with a pretty small team. The game only happened because the Peter Jackson Halo project (not the movie) died. And it is the same engine. So there isn't a lot they could have done except for minor tweaks. Personally I will take the Halo 3 engine with its insanely large maps, ridiculous amounts of enemies on screen, good AI routines and vehicles sections over something that can render 20 sq feet of playground are in uber ultra hi def. I hope Bungie keep that in mind for Reach with the new engine. Large maps with no loading in between > hi res textures. Anyway saw some Firefight videos of Lost Patrol map. Its freaking huge. 4p co op is gonna be a blast on that one. 11 days. Games4u better not f**k this up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tyler Posted September 10, 2009 Report Share Posted September 10, 2009 I always thought Halo 3 was a very good looking game (and it still holds up well). The only places where it looked mediocre was the indoor areas. Also, unlike most shooters it actually knows there are other colors besides brown and gray.
