ODST is based around Orbital Drop Shop Troopers. In the game you play the role of 4 (I think) characters who were dropped onto a Covenant ship that jumped to hyperspace after infiltrating New Mombasa on Earth. It's very different from the Halo series and I firmly believe it was just a filler game.

It was fun, but very short. I mostly enjoyed the voice acting the guys who played Mal and Jane in Firefly.

I quite like Halo and will certainly give Reach a play when back home.

The first one was an ok fps, nothing really ground breaking and no replay value. The next two were dire and I doubt this one will be any different. Though having not played it I have no idea.

Having just played the first few missions I must say that I am seriously enjoying the game, the graphics engine has been improved quite a bit over the previous Halo's. The cutscenes are very good, the atmosphere is ace. The AI has been improved, one of the Covenant jumped onto the back of the Warthog I had abandoned and started firing at us with the chaingun :)

Cannot wait to try online multiplayer Monday night, oh, such a long wait :(

it's not shit, it's just really average

This sums up exaclty how I feel about Halo, there's nothing especially bad about it, it's just deeply "meh".

Oh sorry, the level design is shit. They come up with a half decent level, then just repeat it ad nauseum for 10 chapters? But then I guess I'm not allowed an opinion on Halo having a Piss3 and all that.

Ah well nm, Killzone 3 is out next year! I shall have to content myself with that. 0wned j00 lamer etc.

Oh fuck yeah I remember that in Halo 1. That was absolutely utterly spacktastically atrocious. What the hell were they thinking?

Much of what I have played so far has been outdoors, some indoor stuff which has been pretty good, lots of freedom of movement but remember I have not played any online play for obvious reasons.

Ah, but the Piss3 has Killzone : Plumbing NEw Depths. Same game but in 3D. Enough to give Aada an uber geekgasm.

Do the maths, if you paid attention you'd know where Deebs worked?

I don't get why people are jumping on the attack of Aada, it doesn't say anywhere in this thread how Deebs has managed to get a hold of it. Are you lot really suggesting he follows all the threads to keep an update of peoples lives/jobs etc?

Seeing as Deebs runs the forums I'd have thought someone who's been a member as long as Aada would know where he works...

To be fair I have posed numerous times that I work at a very public high street Game retailer. Just not in this thread but elsewhere I have stated where I work etc.

I guess that the fact that he instantly thought I was a pirate or whatever pissed people off. My copy of Halo: Reach is real, it cost me money etc.

Aada's been a member a long time, if he doesn't know where Deebs works he's an idiot. As for people attacking Aada.. well, if he wasn't on the end of Bill's cock all day long, maybe he'd be more respected?

You don't need to justify yourself to me, I've lurked enough to know :p Just seems people will seize any opportunity to have a pop at Aada.
