Definitely going to be getting it. Mainly, I'm looking forward to seeing how effectively Bungie manages to pull off the whole stealth aspect -- something that wasn't really there in previous Halo titles. |

Stop playing WoW. It's bad for you. Definately buying this day one. I'm really excited for the open world aspect of the game. They're going back to a more Halo:CE type campaign so it should be great. Firefight will be freaking awesome, it's Horde done better! The only downside is the lack of BR. Why they took out the BR, I will never know. |
So what, I'm a Star Wars geek?!?

Haha, the full length version is here, for those who only watched the shorter one: http://www.gametrailers.com/video/full-length-exclusive-halo-3-odst/55529 It was definately an awesome video. The different language was weird, but whatever. |

Aww man, this game is full of so much win. The campaign is kind of short, but Firefight and the new maps make it worth it to me. Campaign is extremely fun and a nice change of pace to regular Halo. |

The game is very fun and Firefight is awesome to play, although alot of matches lag. I'm still trying to get a team to go for Endure, but whenever I do, they give up and quit the first time we lose. |

Im only pissed that they ran out of Sergeant Johnson Codes when I picked my preorder copy up. But damn, the rookie campaign is fun, especially ambushing patrols, nailing the grunts from the rear until the Brute is like wtf? |

We should organize a weekly firefight thing. Or maybe we could form a team to get some of the vidmaster challenges. |

I've actually found a pretty good strategy for getting far in Firefight on "Alpha Site", I was able to get to Set 5 by myself (although on Normal) by staying in the back then relying on Plasma Weapon + Pistol/Carbine by the time Tilt turns on. |

well yea lol, so called shield/stamina is almost non exsistant, and health packs are limited. I actually jumped into a plasma grenade in mid air after the catch skull was on lol. |

Firefight is mad fun, but the lag can get bad sometimes. I would be down for from Spartan Dominion Firefight games. |

I definitely enjoyed it. I'm a big Rainbow Six Vegas fan so the tactical aspect of it was like a breath of fresh air from the usual run-and-gun of Halo 3 and Call of Duty. And if you need another player for Firefight my gamertag is Its An Iron Man |

In my opinion, this game's campaign was the second best out of all of the Halos. Still a long way from Combat Evolved, but I thought the mood of ODST's single player was a pretty pleasant change. It was, however, way too darn short, and the ending was very unimaginative (plus it had the worst of the final "warthog scenes").

Yea, the final warthog run was terrible, along with the enitre ending. The rest of the missions were pretty fun, though. I liked the Mombassa Streets, was very melow and somber. |
