Halo Wars was a RTS Halo game and it was not developed by Bungie. Ensemble Studies.

Halo FPS game + Bungie development team = guaranteed 5 million + seller.

Halo 3:ODST includes 24 maps all 21 maps from Halo 3 + 3 new maps. A new campaign mode which is around 8 hours in duration. Only downside is no Master Chief in the game with all his super powers. Seeing the Halo universe through the eyes of an ordinary soldier will make the game a new Halo experience.

4 words = "Game of the Year"
3 words = "Halo ODST Rocks"
2 words = "Must Buy"

I hav seen nothing outside some sort of "leaked" video footage

This guy is an idiot. Halo is about gameplay.

So he complains about an Add-On having just slightly better graphics than the original? WoW what a shocker!

Did anyone expected ODST to be a graphical milestone? Nope. There were TONS of discussions about Alan Wake, Uncharted 2, Killzone 2, Splinter Cell Conviction, Forza 3, GT5 etc etc but nobody ever mentioned ODST and rightfully so.

He even said that the gameplay is fun and still predicts a low review-score.

Sounds like somebody is fishing for clicks.

Preparing for impact...

So its a bad game because it doesnt have awesome graphics?

By that logic Most games (1 player online) must be boring.

And Halo and L4D proves you DONT need the best graphics to have a awesome game.

@Distoulude

Oh i cannot agree more,Gears 2 sucks flat out,Online is garbage but Horde mode is fun.

Now Halo ODST + Horde mode + ODST Troops = AWESOME!

huh? Did you just say you're stupid?  lol

OT:  It's just an opinion about the graphics, and he certainly makes a point. He was underwhelmed by the graphics, that doesn't mean the whole game will be underwhelming.

Har har...so funny. Give yourself a pat on the back. You did good on forums today.

This is called journalism? Everyone has known since ODST was announced that the games was completely based off the Halo 3 engine. So with that knowledge and all the gameplay videos already released why does this guy act like he was expecting the next graphical revolution? It's people like this that give a bad name to gaming websites.
