Halo ODST (and Reach too, double thread)

LiquidZero:
i just finally got ODST'
 i got Halo 3 when it first came out, then i stop playing it when i started playin fighting games again.

after i watched the halo anime, i felt like gettin odst. so i did. plus i got the mythic maps so i saved some money.

and i think the story is really good. the gameplay is reminiscent to Halo:CE and its pretty hard, which is good to me.

the only downside IMO is the lack of matchmaking. which means you have to post on forums and make friends with others on the new maps to get any of the juicier achievements (Google:ODST vid master achievements).

overall i think the games around 8.8-8.9 outta 10.

if any of you have it we can play.

yeah i watched the Reach vidoc on youtube and Reach is gonna be the shit. i think it may be one of few games comparable to PS3 max  1080p graphics.

I feel like I've been playing the same game since Halo.
The dual wielding aspect of Halo 2 never went well with me. Instead of having a powerful pistol that can kill you in 2-3 shots you instead end up carrying a plasma pistol and any other one handed weapon that would kill you even faster.
Halo 3 was nice with the devices you could use but I really wished there were more weapons you could use. After a few hours in multiplayer I got tired of using the battle rifle over and over and over again.
ODST was pretty fun co-op and its pretty challenging for survival mode. However, I really don't think it lasted anywhere near as long as it should have considering it cost ~60 USD.
I haven't read much about Reach but hopefully it'll be a nice deviation from the previous games. I want some new mechanics and gameplay aspects.

I loved Combat Evolved and my friends and I have had some pretty good times in 2 and 3's online multiplayer. ODST was okay, but I wouldn't throw down sixty bucks for it.

From what I've read it sounds promising. I'm not sure how I feel about the Needle Rifle though. I've always hated those damn needlers.

Needlers were always really fun to use in ODST and Combat evolved. Once they nerfed them, they sucked horribly. I mean, it already eats up the ammo like nothing. The fact it's so weak... pointless.

Needlers are mighty when you are medium range and get all of the needles to hit. I never used them much in Halo CE but usually pick them up in ODST since they are a great way to take out a brute on legendary survivor mode. They eat up ammo like none other but most of the time it's a guaranteed kill against real players and not.
Halo CE will probably always have a special place in my heart since I remember sleeping over night at friend's houses in middle school duking it out 2v2 on blood gulch.
