Forums - Microsoft - Why Halo 3: ODST will suck

Dude, as I said in the OP, "I want to buy this game!" and I plan on doing it at midnight of the launch :D I can't really explain my excitement for it!

@xlost
It's cool, bro =p I was just using this thread to see just how many people would read the whole thing, and try to solve the foot notes before posting, which maybe only 3-4 people did =p

This is the game that will draw in fans of COD and fans of halo...If it has multiplayer it should be able to beat everything on xbox live.

Without shields and the master chief, it's gonna be borring and sucky like CoD4.

This made me laugh because I agree.

It seems to me that they are taking away all of the things that makes halo, halo. No master chief. No shileds. No fast easy user friendly gameplay, instead replaced by a slow stealthy tactical gameplay (If that's what we wanted then Ghost Recon would have sold 9 million copies! not halo!). No swords, no hammerzeits. This should just be called Ghost Recon advanced halo.
Can you confirm any of that?

My God Microsoft are some smart SOBs. They make games that by any other name nobody would want, add Halo to the title, throw in a map pack and people go crazy. Nobody sees they are being duped, everyone buys, microsoft makes money, players get expensive as hell maps. God gamers are so stupid. They complain about DLC for games bitching that the games are incomplete but can't see this rip off right in front of them. Why should players have to buy a $60 game that most likely won't interest them for some new maps? That is one of the most sleezy things I've seen this gen.

Bungie has already stated that the game will not be full priced.  That can be confirmed.

 

 

 1. No, I can't confirm that and have no real proof. However, I have read what is presently known about this game and have made an opinion based on those facts. When it is said to be a slow tactical game, I safely assume that it will not have the fast pase of the previous games. Also, the swords and hammerzeits are arguably fast melee weapons, and although it is not confirmed that they won't be in the game, I find it hard to believe they will be incorporated in the game, at least not like they currently are. The fact is that the game has been confirmed to be a tactical game which are slow by nature and either way they are obviously steering away from the formula that makes Halo work. It's hard to argue with 9 million users who bought the game that the formula of previous halo games work. But instead of asking me these questions I think you should be asking why everything with the name Halo should get a free ride and not be questioned. I am a HUGE Metal Gear Solid fan but I didn't give Metal Gear Acid a free ride. In fact I hated those games and wouldn't recommend them to anyone.

2. Someone mentioned a map pack coming with Halo Wars which will be priced at $60.00 and I was commenting on that. Sorry that I did not specify.

So much wrongunknowable information in this thread.

 

 Then perhaps you should clear it all up if you've got all the insider information.

 

Well for starters your little rant earlier had really no info in it at all. Just the ramblings of a disenchanted cow. So your "information" was neither wrong nor unknowable, just a waste of space.

 

 Well since you like facts so much, here's one for you. What I stated was my own opinion of the game and what we know of it thus far. My opinion of the game may change with fourthcoming facts, but realistically I'm one of the only rational people in this thread to actually question it. What do we know about this game other then it has Halo in the name and is suposed to be more tactical without shileds? Nothing. Based on what we do know it's fact that the formula is not the same as previous Halo games. It's said to be a different type of game by the devs for christ sakes! But I get nothing but moaning from you guys from questioning it when the only reason you blindly like it is because it has halo in the title! You can't like it for any other reason because we know nothing about it!

So here's a fact, if I hadn't come in this thread it would be nothing but a bunch of fanboys circle jerking over a video game they have no real knowledge about.

You're really bad at joke posts. I saw that from a mile away.

LOL. All I was saying dude, is that maybe you should wait for more, nay, any information about the game before you poop your diapers.

I was trying to make it blatantly obvious, but look at how many didn't realize it

Glad you got it, though!

^ Joke post or not I posted to remind you that I agree the game will be good and that I look forward to it.

Glad to hear it!  What's your PSN/Gamertag?  I'll have to add you especially before Killzone 2!
