The Official Halo 3: ODST Thread

Maybe this is old, but I just noticed it.

http://www.bungie.net/Online/Default.aspx

The stats page shows the number of players and games played in the past 24 hours, as they always have, but also the cumulative totals for both. I'd never seen those before.

14,941,733 total Halo 3 players, 50,158 ODS players, so far.

They have been there, even for Halo 2. Bungie is second only to Blizzard in web stats in my opinion.

I thought the skybox in Assembly was good, but it wasn't Halo's skybox (both variations). Halo's skybox was by far the best in Halo 3.

And I just got back from fully pre-paying for my game at Gamestop. Now I have to wait.

And wait.

And wait...

Yeah, Halo's skybox was super awesome too. Just wait, though; the skyboxes so far in ODST > any in Halo 3.
 
Is that unique users? The last number I saw was from Game Informer ODST reveal which was near 10 million IIRC (over 9 to be sure). Nearly 15 million would be an amazing figure.

Guys, how exactly do we get into the Reach Beta? Do we need to redeem some codes in the casing of ODST or something?
Click to expand...


It will become available through the 'Extras' menu in ODST, no code, all you need is the disc.

I don't have it yet ;)

Also can anyone let me know when playing 4-Player co-op who are the other 3 characters during a flashback? I know that in the hub they are all rookie.

I think they are either the rookie or the character that they have set up for firefight mode

You're lying; you have to be! But that means Halo 3: ODST just gets epic. Sweet!

Oh, and I have to ask, for those that have beaten the game or are current playing it:

Is there anything to those blue images or have I been pre-occupied with something that doesn't mean anything ever since June?

Round 3 of any Set in Firefight has Black Eye on - which means if you take a hit while you're driving, say, a Warthog, you'll be looking at a red-tinged screen until you get out and beat something down.

THAT's less than fun.

I don't see anyone picking up the last two Vidmaster achievements in the first few days...

I'll be trying to grab Recon by customs on the weekend. By hook or by crook, I shall do it.
 
I'm probably out of the loop but what are the last 2 vidmaster challenges (requirments to get them) people won't be picking up for a while?

Anyone else who's played annoyed in the change in physics (especially throwing grenades)? As someone who plays Halo 3 multiplayer (matchmaking) anytime i don't play for a while or switch games to play something different it always takes me a little bit to get into my groove in Halo 3. Having to constantly go between ODST's firefight and then matchmaking is gonna be tough since there's subtle but noticable differences.

Bungie artists deserve a round of applause, to be sure. I've never seen anything as incredible as the Epitaph skybox in any game; sadly, pictures just don't do it justice. Something about it just makes me want to jump in a Warthog and ride into the storm looking for Forerunner structures.

So Bungie.net doesn't display any Halo 2 stats anymore? It's not popular but I enjoyed seeing the most recent Halo 2 matches and the player stats. :(
Click to expand...
Your halo 2 stats are showing for me.
http://www.bungie.net/Stats/PlayerStatsHalo2.aspx?player=Total+Sacrifice

Mine are not showing, but I've changed my gamertag multiple times, so maybe that's it. Halo 3 is not affected by that though, it still shows my games from previous tags, but maybe halo 2 is.

edit - I might or might not have misunderstood your post completely.
 
I should have been clearer. I meant general Halo 2 stats like current amount of players online and the snapshots of the most recent game (which used to show up in the Online page of Bungie.net before this most recent update). I'm said to see the snapshots go. :(

Some of the online stats still show up on the Halo 2 page though. I edited my previous post and linked to it.
 
Going to pre-order ODST in full right now. I haven't been this excited for a game since Halo 3 lol.

Also, I don't really care for the Johnson code so if I do get it, I'm gonna give it away. But there's a catch. The way to win it is...well I haven't thought of it yet. I'm thinking maybe I could take 1v1 challenges and who ever beats me or gets the most kills against me wins. What do you think??

Best ODST limerick....go.
 
I already finished the game on Heroic and now I'm trying to finish the game on Legendary...Can I select each mission one by one from the list to get the achievement? Or do I have to wonder around the streets to trigger the missions?
 
Meus Renaissance said:
Are the Sgt Johnson codes region locked? Foo Fighter's code didn't work for me
Click to expand...

It wouldn't be region locked anyway. We're both UK. I've only copied and pasted from the email I got, I say try it again tomorrow to see if it unlocks on release or something.

Grand Theft Auto can teach you some valuable skills to get there when your ride fails you.

Yeah, call up one of your buddies every 15 minutes and make them take you wherever you want to go. If they refuse, tell them they just got -5 rep with you.

Oh, and speak in a bad Jamaican accent.

I wish I could be at the launch party in Seattle. I think it will be an awesome time.

I'm also in the UK and got my Sgt Johnson code in an email on Saturday. I downloaded it with no problems, so it's not 'unlocked' on the 22nd
 
Just had my co-op buddy drop off my copy. I know what I'm doing when I get home--making coffee. It's going to be a loooong night.

:D

Will hit up the story before heading into Firefight mode.
 
It has been raining consistently where I live for the last 2 days or so. Very ODST appropriate. CAN NOT WAIT! T-8 hours and 46 minutes.

Yeah, I'm old and don't adjust really quickly, and it's causing me problems. :D

Hmm, I don't know what the problem is then.

Yes you can do that, although you have to trigger the first mission to 'finish' the new mombasa street level on legendary. Although you wont get a legendary ending for some reason (at least I didn't :(), but you do get the achievement.
