CE pistol is much harder to use now.

 

[The Henery]

they got it out on time?

and it works?

I downloaded it twice and it's still giving me an error message. Will try the U.S. Store trick another time.

 

[MrGreencastle]

So Frankie just said there's a walkthrough of ODST with dev commentary from Joe Staten on the Halo Channel!

Joe <3

I am surprised tbh. Wish I had room on my harddrive to download it, I'll probably just redeem the code.

Dammit Poker, you need to join me when I do a Deja Vu run. Clean some of that trash from your HDD.

 

[Slightly Live]

Awesome, will check this out.

The first third of the 15 minute video is some faceless 343 guy telling us how amazing and seamless the ODST release is.

Staten gets to talk briefly.

It's really not enough. At all. Had this been a podcast, it would have been at least 300% longer and much more awesome.

Moar pls.

I'm probably going to buy another hard drive, MCC is over 60 gigs and the new patch with ODST is going to make it even bigger lol.


edit: Or maybe it's only 59 gigs? Could of swore I saw it at 61 yesterday.

The Halo 2 developer commentary is hilarious. The Marty salt is real.

 

[SmartWaffles]

Is it just me or the FoV in ODST is larger than 360 version?

If the ODST FoV got any bigger it'd wrap around behind your head.

 

[Leyasu]

Any EU/UK players on here like doing co-op? All my friends have long abandoned this travesty of a game.

 

[NobleGundam]

Dare still looks like a skeleton I assume?

 

[ElRenoRaven]

Nah. ODST feels the same. I think it's just the upres and FPS bump to 60 that's throwing you off.

Feels good so far. Seems to be running well too. Step forward quality wise on the work done here. Good job whoever did the work for 343.

My brief impressions are also very positive. Feels clean, responsive. I was worried about the colours from past screenshots, but nothing really bad has popped up so far.

The lack of Bumper Jumper though, ugh.

 

[Overdoziz]

Lack of Bumper Jumper? What?

 

[FyreWulff]

Is it just me or the FoV in ODST is larger than 360 version?

ODST had a wider single screen FOV than any other Halo on 360 (afiak) so it might just be more apparent now in 1080p

Went to check some old screenshots it might just be the bigger resolution.

 

[JumPeRJumPzZ]

Bumber Jumper is still there...

 

[SmartWaffles]

The texture work looks great by the way.

 

[SaganIsGOAT]

I can't find the game? Where is it located

 

[jem0208]

I can't find the game? Where is it located

Under the Halo 3 section in the campaign menu.

 

[Nowise10]

I can't find the game? Where is it located

Under Halo 3.

 

[Blue Ninja]

It's so much fun to be playing this again.

 

[SaganIsGOAT]

Well this is amazing. I LOVE ODSTs FOV. It's so great.

 

[kittens]

Whoa, it's up huh? I have to go play in rivers and be social and stuff, but this'll be a nice treat Sunday night.

 

[Mix]

Oh man, no more at starts in team slayer it seems.

Feels good

 

[Blue Ninja]

Just reached Data Hive. I'm intrigued how they're handling the extra sequence you get if you have all the data logs, and if it's still in. Didn't collect them all, so won't find out on this playthrough.

 

[Stinkles]

[orichalcos]

OMG. Post of the day.

 

[SaganIsGOAT]

TMCC test team is looking spry. &#127770;

 

[Mix]

It's really nice seeing so many people from my friends list playing today

Also, some fun kills in Halo 2 on Ivory Tower

 

[Uzny]

I'm reading a few people saying that the bullet magnetism has been reduced/removed which apparently pushes it closer to OG CE.

The CE pistol is useless now. Please change it back 343 or tone down the magnetism just a bit, not all the way down. 4 grenades on start are back though and make me very happy

I find it much closer to OG now, magnetism is definitely reduced but proper aim and leading works fine. I prefer it this way- far too easy to use previously. I would like the beeps back though.

It's definitely not closer to OG. I'm also against the beeping if we're at it

 

[Nowise10]

Does uh anybody want this. I know some people are into having stuff like this. I just don't want a 12 pack of H4 Gamefuel sitting by my desk anymore

anyway pm if you want it and ill send it to you lol.

I would like the beeps back but you should have the option to control the volume/mute it if you do not like it.

 

[Slightly Live]

Lack of Bumper Jumper? What?

It wasn't appearing in my controller settings when I was playing earlier.

 

[TheXbox]

Downloading. Remember when they made us pay $60 for ODST? lol

Spoiler

it was worth it.

 

[SaganIsGOAT]

ODST brought about the decline of Halo /connor

 

[Akai__]

Done with my 1st playthrough. Super fun and still one of the best Halo/FPS campaigns out there.

I had goosebumps throughout the entire playthrough. I'm gonna play this game very often in the following days.

Just finished my run on Heroic, too. So much fun.

It was a good deal if you didn't have any of the DLC yet. Otherwise it was a bit overpriced.

 

[Akai__]

Henery, what did the patch do? Any real improvements?

I noticed, that gametypes are now sorted based on popularity in Custom Games. That's a +1 right there. Also, that player search is pretty good. Now you don't have to add people or look at weird leaderboards to download their maps. Good feature.

ODST was 40€ over here. Was it really 60$?

Just finished my run on Heroic, too. So much fun.

Nice. I played on Normal, so I could look arround a little more. Will definitely play on Heroic and on Legendary again.

For those of you who don't know. Press and hold the right stick to the left in the epilogue. I always have to laugh, when I see it. lol

 

[SaganIsGOAT]

Is it possible for 343 to update the digital version of the game to include all patches? So a fully patched version is all you download in the future?

 

[TheXbox]

It was a good deal if you didn't have any of the DLC yet. Otherwise it was a bit overpriced.

It was only worth it for the Reach beta. I still have fond memories of the insanely OP pistol. (and they should have kept it that way) The campaign is obviously tremendous but it's only three hours. Thing takes longer to download than it does to play.

ODST was 40€ over here. Was it really 60$?

Yeah, it was a big controversy. 40 euro is still a lot, isn't it?

 

[JumPeRJumPzZ]

Thats already the case with digital content.

 

[SaganIsGOAT]

Thats already the case with digital content.

Very nice. Thanks.

 

[Blue Ninja]

Nice. I played on Normal, so I could look arround a little more. Will definitely play on Heroic and on Legendary again.

Halo 3 and ODST are ridiculously easy even on Heroic, for me. I've pretty much mastered those games' campaign modes. Can't even have fun when I'm playing on anything below Heroic. :lol

For those of you who don't know. Press and hold the right stick to the left in the epilogue. I always have to laugh, when I see it. lo

It took 1080p for me to really appreciate the cold, soulless stare emanating from our ancestor.

Yeah, it was a big controversy. 40 euro is still a lot, isn't it?

Games usually cost &#8364;60 here. ODST being &#8364;40 was a nice surprise. I paid &#8364;70 for the special edition with the controller, that was a steal.

 

[Akai__]

Yeah, it was a big controversy. 40 euro is still a lot, isn't it?

Not really, since we used to pay 70€ for major AAA games and 60€ for "normal" games.

Pretty sure they are still 70€ in big store-chains. This is also one reason, why I moved towards digital.

 

[BreakawayMetal]

Not mine, but I found this on Team Beyond. Thought it was pretty funny https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lfrsVuGzWM0

 

[Blue Ninja]

Final mission achievement didn't unlock for me. The way achievements work on this system is so borked. :lol
