There are Exterminations.

And then there are HaloGaf Exterminations.

Also Krow was ragiiiin!

 

[Overdoziz]

It could have been more awkward.


I could have been eating a banana.

Bee slurper?

Edit: What the fuck Tunavi.

I don't play with you guys for one night and this happens? I'm disappointed in you Krow, Hydra and Shanti!

 

[Brolic Gaoler]

woow GUYS.. I'm playing ODST for the first time in like 2 years, and I have to say, this is the most atmospheric, Halo game ever... playing on heroic. I love it, I really hope for this stuff in destiny. Also holy shit, the needler is the cutiest thing, it looks like a baby's needler lol. Also most definitely Marty's best work, even compared to Reach's which I think is his least best in his Halo games. Does anyone know if some of the guys that worked on are at 343 or are they still at bunige.

I still think it was the best one story wise, followed by Reach (barring any retcons or errors and taking it as an individual experience).

You keep shaking that pretty little head of yours.

What's the best ODST songs? I want to hear some of its fine tunes people praise.

This is probably my favorite stretch

2:35 onwards I love, because it kind of reminds me of Goldeneye

4:35 for the awesome ODST theme

I also love the more upbeat piano one that plays after you beat a certain mission and during the credits, but I can't remember it's name

So good.

 

[The Librarian]

I'm in the mood for Skyline at the moment. If for nothing else but that kickass ending.

Edit: 4:39 is when the ending starts.

 

[ViewtifulJC]

I don't have HaloGAF's hard-on for ODST, but that soundtrack is great, no question. I'm gonna miss Marty

 

[NullPointer]

Its not just the music, but how well the music plays into the game. It helps to provide more depth and loneliness to New Mombassa that you don't quite get from the copy/paste layout of the city.

 

[Devolution]

ODST is so damn overrated.

Yeah I said it.

 

[FyreWulff]

I guess it's just called Finale. Should pester someone for the masters and I'd convert that thing for Rock Band Network

ODST is so damn overrated.

Yeah I said it.

Spoiler

If anyone takes this seriously I will be disappoint

I was under the impression most of HaloGAF hated ODST.

Uh, not really. I've not heard a lot of people sing its praises at all.

 

[ViewtifulJC]

It turns much of the random encounters and wandering around into something more, there's this added layer of depth and emotional power to navigating the environments simply because of the music's ambiance.

No Stone Untoched beginning was my fave

 

[Gui_PT]

Some people just love to complain about a game they play everyday

Gets ooooooold

Must...post...about...Skyline's...awesome...ending...again...

[Tha Robbertster]

It really is a shame that you rarely hear all the wonderful pieces of music while walking through the hub in ODST. I always feel like hitting the jackpot when neon lights starts to play.

 

[Aggrotek]

I love the noir feeling of the music and atmosphere. Being a fan of this genre of film, it really stood out to me.

I said wow :lol

All I remember is a giant cloud of thick shit hate for ODST up to its release and during. Probably due to the pricing situation of being $40 then becoming $60, etc.

My friend who played it said it was one of the worst things he'd played for the SP.

Strangely though, here on HaloGAF, all I see is praise for it.

I'll play it when my backlog isn't this thick, and fucking Diablo 3 coming out next month really won't help at all with it.

Even on HaloGAF the only praise for it I typically see is the music. I thought the game was head and shoulders above the first three games story wise.

And yeah, most non Halo fans bashed the shit out of it.

My main issue with the game was potential, and how it failed to live up to it. It was good, but it could have been so much better. Reach was the same way for me, but it barely qualifies as good.

What I'm hearing so far from what people posted in here music wise is amazing. Wow. Great stuff.

I haven't had much appreciation for the Halo games stories in the past, but Halsey's journal really turns me around about the games universe and mythos at least. If only the games were that fleshed out lol.

The guys I work with that don't play much Halo (they essentially play it a few times, but not constantly like we do) still tell me how they think it's the best Halo campaign they've played.

Then again, I've also had people I know pass on Reach because they thought it was another ODST side story and didn't want to pay 60$ again a year later for it.

 

[The Librarian]

ODST was a great experiment. Its hub world succeeds in more areas than it fails, and it has the best soundtrack. It doesn't have the best story (Halo 2) but it has the second best set of encounters in the entire series.

Dem casuals man lol.

I just wish I had more money and more time. I'd hit up a straight 1-3 run, ODST, then read the novels. Just soak it all up.

Poor man single life swag. Work hard, do school, and then dem responsibilities.

Who wants to adopt me and take care of me? I'll even let you bathe me in a tub with bubbles. *giggles*

 

[NullPointer]

Yeah, I thought that asking full price for ODST was idiotic, but now consider it my second favorite Halo campaign, after CE. Its also the game that brought us Firefight, so it will forever live in my heart. And as somebody who loves free roaming environments and frenetic Halo-scaled battles the night/day transition in mood and gameplay was almost tailor made for me.

The WE ARE ODST bit was also the very best piece of Halo marketing I've ever seen, and the best live action gaming ad ever.

ODST was a great experiment.

Pretty much. I hope Bungie and 343 learned some quality lessons from it.

 

[Tawpgun]

Rabble rabble rabble, besides my beta invite I got, any other Halo 4 bombshells were dropped in the last 3 days?

 

[ElzarTheBam]

GG guys.

Played MLG with Cyren and co, was fun.

And I now know how you feel 'sometimes' Tashi.

 

[Hitmonchan107]

How many of you actually own Trials Evoultion? I might buy it if I know I'm going to be competing against your scores past the trial stages. :^)

I've got it. I spent last night just staring at the map editor, wondering where to even start.

Me and ZalinKrow have it and play it a lot.

Really fun games of MLG guys. Sickened shanti lagged out.

I have it

 

[Striker]

so i just bought a new halo 2 and decided to play on XBConnect....

Not as good as you once remembered it, huh?

 

[Fracas]

ODST is so damn overrated.

Yeah I said it.

Good to see I'm not the only one who thinks that. Only thing that game had going for it was atmosphere/music.

 

[Gabotron ES]

Trials' editor shits on Reach's forge, pretty sad :/

 

[Demoncarnotaur]

Call me crazy, but I like the old DMR more. It even seems to have more detail model/texture wise.

 

[HigherLevel]

ODST was great because it played very different yet kept the core of Halo intact.

 

[Overdoziz]

I have it. Pretty sure you can only see people's times who have the full game while playing the demo. Not people who only have the demo.

 

[Fracas]

I like them both, but I have to give the edge to the Reach DMR. Looks more believable, like a real gun.
