How Halo 3: ODST Changes You

this and mw3 were the only games i ever pre ordered

and this game was the only game that I got the weird version with the box and booklets

A story like ODST with modern movement/controls/mechanics etc is what the halo community have been asking 343 for since they first took over the franchise and they're completely sleeping on it, they're practically in hibernation.

Dude has it out for master chief

I disagree with feeling too overpowered because in heroic how it’s supposed to be played is quite a challenge especially the heavy vehicles

This Game Is Childhood.

Just wandering around in the Open City checkpoint with famine and iron skulls on with a buddy was one of the best experiences I've had in Halo. Just two ODSTs wandering the streets surviving and resisting the covies. Though being in a building basically made you safe,outside of a few encounters , so that did kill part of the 'we are in danger feeling'. Could have used covies sweeping buildings every now and again, the threat of a surprise engagement inside a building would have made sneaking though buildings more tense.

Of course this video came out right after I broke my phone

I know i get hate but odst is my favorite halo game. I love the story and open world feel in a city felt like a war hitting you. I love how the plot thickened with its mechanics. It made me love ODST soilder with spartans now in plenty they should up gear their armours with stealth. That way they can go behind enemy lines. Special units for special missions. If we can specialized our armours ODST would be the second best next to spartans.

Problem: "I feel too powerful as an ODST"
Solution: Legendary or Heroic

On your complaint about the emptiness of the city, New Mombasa is about to be glassed. The only people or Covenant left are the stragglers, preparing to leave. This is an important part of the story and adds to the loneliness. Learning about Sadie's story is especially touching because you know that the entire city is going to disappear soon.

one of the top creators of odst had confirmed we havent found one of its secrets

I guess the ODST game is the most favorite game its because we play as humans ..more realistic ..We are human after all .not enhanced beings...

Anyone else put on ODST Rain soundtracks to fall asleep? That tune is fire.

Saying ODSTs are "not quite Spartan level" is like saying "Little Leaguers are not quite MLB level" 😂 Good vid, man. 👍👍

I love these videos

This is the only mainline FPS game in the series I have never finished.

Game changed my life. Have an odst collection in the corner of my room. More like a shrine. I'd love another Halo game but the last good Halo game was Reach. Once in a lifetime, unfortunately..

I’d love to see you make a video on Reach

The OODSTs are weird because theyre supposed to be spec-ops. So theyre better and more resilient than marines but still aint spartans. So stuff like the visor make sense since they are spec-ops. That being said though, amazing game and it makes me so sad we wont get anything simmilar to it

I like odst but it is not a halo game.

ODST is a work of art

I like this game and the story is a nice spin off that makes you feel like you’re living in the world of halo. Also the vibe and soundtrack is like no other. But it’s disappointing how the gameplay isn’t really switched up. Sure you have health packs now, but it’s still more or less the same health system just slightly tweaked, and the stealth mechanics are kind of a joke. Overall, a good game with a great atmosphere, but not worth 60 dollars

What i love is the subtle story telling throughout New Mombasa. Virgil is speaking to the Rookie the entire way, giving guidance, encouraging him/you to investigate deeper and tells you where you can heal yourself. If the Rookie as paid thorough attention to unveiling the mystery, he will straight up tell Dare to lower her gun before whistling to the Huragok. He knows that that is Virgil in an actual body. The friend who's been helping him out all night.
Also, Huragok-Virgil is adorable, derpy and cool all at the same time.

W Chopper moment appreciate you mane I pretty sure we're friends on xbox or were

I sure do have a shortage of money for said content though 😀

I think my biggest regret with ODST was that Bungie didn't have the time/resources to actually put in proper stealth elements. The silenced SMG and pistol don't really do anything that noticeable and it feels like there was an idea that you would be able to use open doors and hallways to skate around covie patrols and avoid fights, which would have been a huge gameplay change from MC just killing everything that gets in front of him. ODST is far and away my favorite Halo game, and it is a crime we've never gotten another chance to haunt around darkened streets as a hell jumper.

the way to fix your gripe with feeling like master chief is to play legendary with skulls on, trust me, thats the way the game is supposed to be played, some skulls, only the ones that dont pull u out of immersion, the grenade one is very cool and so that way they insta kill you and its like being a normal guy, for me personally is the fact that your screen looks taller than it should, freaking odst are tall as basketball players

I feel like stealth could’ve been used to such a high level like we have a whole animation for them so I feel like they could’ve done that

Halo odsts formula was what halo needed after 3 before they gave us a MC story next

Love odst.

When it comes to video games, I’ve never felt more at peace, or more at home, than when I played Halo 3 ODST. It’s probably my favorite video game ever, and I will always go back to it when I need to just take a break from the constant overstimulation we live in every day.

All I've ever wanted since this game was released is a prequel set in the middle of the human-covenant war, gears of war- cover based gameplay, a team of ODST's, written by Joe Staten and score by Marty. Nothing more.

Halo Reach review pls Ch0pper

i've adored this game from my first playthru. there's a tone & mood about the 'open world' and the missions are fun. the game swings between those two types at a great pace & i love that i can play it at my own pace. so easy to spend a lot time in that game.

here's my hot take tho.. this is 'proto-Destiny' with the mix of open & linear play. and that poster with the Traveller 😉 going back to it after getting hooked on D1 was big 'ooooooh.. now i get it' moment.

it feels like something that was made against the clock with limited resources & the team jus dug deep & made something special. like one of those amazing alt-rock albums that was slung together in a week & mixed by some stoned kid that barely knew what he was doing.. yet it's a classic & oozes style & fortitude.

great vid. put in mind to have a playthru soon. have a sub 🤗

Well odsts were augmented to a degree this is one of the reasons they are different than marines your basically wanting to play as a marine not an odst bungie also kinda failed to tell us the difference and such

Hot take. This game was mid at best. Only reason I bought it was for the Halo Reach Beta invitation it came with. I remember this game got shit on by reviewers when it came out.

It made me like loneliness

The time we got to experience what it’s like as an ODST in Halo. I always liked having them and other Marines around. Trying to keep them alive as long as possible. Halo Infinite as well! Loading up with them and roaming around the map.

Played it for the first time on legendary after my 1,2,3, Run last month and I was amazed at the story & Graphics oh my gosh, Mumbattan was so good to roam thru, The Storie of the Sadie had me Gut feeling every Message. Best Halo Imo. The Empathy for each solider lost. The Freedom and Strategy it brung was fun. and the music is the best out of halo only 2's Guitar solo takes the cake

Favorite Halo game, by far. Replaying it again after a long break and imo it aged really well

I still listen to the soundtrack all the time...

I cant say that this is the best halo game ever but it is definitely my favorite. The vulnerability. The atmosphere. The music. It absolutely is an art piece.

I drop a double dose tab of lsd before each play through on legendary for therapeutic reasons.

best way to play odst is, famine and aim assist off it makes you be more selective with the unsc weapons because most covenant weapons suck, also swarm and bad luck makes hunters something you really want to avoid and makes the enemies more formidable, which compensates for brutes halo 3 being some of the weakest enemies in the franchise

Unironically takes me longer than like 3 hours to beat ODST. Not because I suck at it (I’m not amazing at it either) but because I love taking my time with it. (Edit) I just think ODST genuinely has the same amount of love in it that Halo 3 does, not because the story itself is anywhere near as expansive, but because of how deep the feelings it engages and also how intricate so many of its details are. Halo in the mainline series takes place in so many different places during one campaign, whereas in ODST, it feels just as big even though it’s in a single city.

I played this game way too young. I got so depressed from this fucking game 😂
