Review: desertcart really makes this an amazing value. - First off let me say that Halo ODST is a great game if your a Halo fan. If your not a Halo fan then you'll be hard pressed to enjoy ODST because It uses the same engine that Halo 3 used. It also pretty much plays the same outside of a slightly shorter jump then Master Chief, no more dual-wielding as a ODST, and the HUD. The single player campaign took me about the same time It took me to finish Halo 3 which is an amazing feat for what was previewed as a 2-4 hour campaign not too long ago. I was impressed with that feat because I was expected to be disappointed with the campaign length but I wasn't. The campaign had some nice pacing outside of when you first start you seem pretty lost (but that's the whole idea) not knowing what to do. Working in the dark with the visor was a refreshing take on this series, and being in the city in the middle of hell was something people complained about before, IE why were all the Halo battles AWAY from life? ODST throws you right in the middle of the mess and addresses that complaint. The one thing that people may not enjoy with the campaign is the pacing. Basically since your alone you have to unravel clues to find your ODST squad mates, and in turn it ends up being a dark adventure with a way point telling you where to go (eventually). Some people may detest this but it was a great feeling for me being able to scourge for clues alone (tho you can co-op for your liking, 2 players locally and up to 4 on Live or System Link). Firefight as you have read is great experience similar to horde in Gears of War 2. Basically wave after wave of enemies are pitted against you and you get so many lives to see how long you can last. It's a refreshing take again on Halo for those that want something different outside of the usual versus mode. I for one welcomed Firefight with open arms and It is definitely the high light of this package. My only complaint is there is no matchmaking for Firefight, so basically you have to manually invite your friends to play or add random people to your friends list to enjoy the mode further. But you know who the real highlight of this game is? The ODST? Nope. desertcart. desertcart came through on my order big time. First I had this as my goldbox pick not too long ago, so I got $3 off for pre-ordering. Then desertcart was offering a $10 credit towards future gaming purchases so I scored another $10 off. The game also dropped to $51 so I got another $9 off the pre-order price gurantee. The game got damaged in transit so desertcart offered me a partial refund for the shipping mishap. Paying only $30ish for Halo ODST was a great deal, and only desertcart was able to provide me that experience. Thank you Bungie for a great single player campaign and awesome experience with Firefight, and thank you desertcart for providing one of the best deals in quite some time for a launch game. Review: Halo 3: ODST - Didn't like it at first; love it now - There are plenty of detailed reviews for this game here already. With that said, I won't breakdown the finer points of the game. I will say that this game is somewhat underrated and quite a gem amongst the other 4 Halo shooters. Those players that enjoy some story and a bit more strategy in their Halo experience will definitely enjoy ODST in my opinion. I first saw the game in action a few days after release. Someone I know purchases games 1-2 days after they come out. I was not really impressed at the time and had lost interest in Halo since the second game. Didn't even want to play it. Fast forward some years; I enjoyed Halo:Reach. Finding ODST here on desertcart for $14 new -vs- $20 used at Gamestop, I decided to give it another chance. The first 30 minutes of the game were a bit awkward. Playing the campaign on heroic wasn't a problem. Playing and being acquainted with Reach was. - No sprinting - No radar - Can't sneak up on enemies for stealthy melee kills - Patrols?! And they are fairly frequent - Patrols can aggro - Jackels with beam rifles can be head-shot deadly - No shields. I continued playing however and soon realized how much I was really enjoying such a change in pace. 1) It was critical to "choose" your fights. If you had to fight, you quickly analyzed the threat and prioritized targets. 2) If you do engage some enemies, don't linger in the area too long. Other nearby patrols could be rushing in after hearing the fire fight you just survived. 3) Finding cover and checking your map is a must almost every minute to get the latest intelligence on patrol movement in relation to your position. 4) As you travel through the city, you learn to take note of the environment so you can always engage the enemy on your terms. You also learn areas are never "clear" in ODST. 5) It seems ammunition is a bit scarce as compared to other games. You try to utilize specific weapons for specific enemies rather than just pouring it on and wasting ammo. 6) The visor is a nice feature and the fact that you need to keep it on 80% of the time helps remind you how human your character is. Gameplay, plot and the story are a unique aspect in ODST. While playing an elite Spartan super soldier is enjoyable, it is refreshing to have another take on the battle against the Covenant. ## Features - Halo 3: ODST contains 1,750 new Xbox LIVE achievement points, as well as new weapons, technology and an invite to join the Halo: Reach beta in 2010 - Stand-alone expansion to Halo 3 that doesn't require ownership of the previous game to play - New campaign, hero and tactics from the Halo universe as players take on the role of a rookie in the Orbital Drop Shock Troopers sent into New Mombasa - 4-player co-op "Firefight" mode offers a whole new way to play Halo with friends both via system link and over Xbox LIVE - Along with all the existing Halo 3 maps, ODST contains three new multiplayer Halo 3 maps: Heretic, Longshore, and Citadel ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B001HWB68K | | Best Sellers Rank | #20,277 in Video Games ( See Top 100 in Video Games ) #481 in Xbox 360 Games | | Compatible Video Game Console Models | Microsoft Xbox 360, Microsoft Xbox 360 E | | Computer Platform | Xbox 360 | | Customer Reviews | 4.4 4.4 out of 5 stars (1,295) | | Date First Available | October 9, 2008 | | Department | Adults | | Genre | shooter-action-game-genre | | Global Trade Identification Number | 00882224729741 | | Is Discontinued By Manufacturer | No | | Item Weight | 0.528 ounces | | Item model number | 5EA-00001 | | Language | English | | Manufacturer | Microsoft | | Number of Players | 1 | | Product Dimensions | 0.6 x 5.3 x 7.5 inches; 0.53 ounces | | Publication Date | September 22, 2009 | | Rated | Mature | | Release date | September 22, 2009 | | Type of item | Video Game | | UPC | 492072203746 882224729741 | ## Images ![Halo 3: ODST - Xbox 360 - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/717Ej4GMLsS.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Amazon really makes this an amazing value. *by D***K on September 27, 2009* First off let me say that Halo ODST is a great game if your a Halo fan.
