At first it seemed fairly fun, but in the end your character is Master Chief from Halo 1 with different armor and a different name. Graphics were fairly well done, though there are glitches with vehicles, for example, the wheels on the Warthog do not always turn while it is driving. Also, playing through on the normal difficulty, the game lasts only about 5-6 hours. With higher difficulty it may take an extra hour or two. The whole idea that your character is supposed to use stealth and not just run and gun was a fail. You will find that trying to use stealth often gets you killed because even in darkness you get seen by your enemies, and your weapons are just as accurate while running and gunning, even when using heavy weapons like missile launchers, chain guns, none of which I add will weigh you down really. You can carry weapons and flip a warthog or tank just as easily as the Master Chief, and take as much damage as the Master Chief could in the process.
What's great about it: graphics look nice, firefight mode is fun
What's not so great: very short game, Halo 1 remade, vehicle glitches very noticable
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

This game is ok, I can't really justify spending 60 dollars on it though. Take it from a Halo fan, this game is really short and the mulitplayer is just from Halo 3, which makes this game a total bummer. The graphics are insane and the weapons are great. I would either rent this game or wait until the price drops which probably won't be until reach is about to launch.
What's great about it: Firefight and the graphics
What's not so great: SHORT and no new multiplayer?
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Well, Bungie did it again. They managed to grab every little dollar out of our pockets to buy their maps. When you bought Halo ODST, you just bought all the Halo 3 maps, a 6 hour campaign, and a Firefight Mode. So why is this such a bad thing? As many Halo 3 players know, you CANNOT play online without buying Bungie's new maps. By including this into ODST, they make it sound as if your buying a new multiplayer. Well, your not. Your buying their maps and playing the same multiplayer Halo 3 owners are playing. The 6 hour campaign is just okay, nothing to love there. Firefight mode is a new addition to the Halo universe, though, it doesn't make up the games flaws. If you love Halo to death and want a short campaign, you'll be pleased. For the reasonable gamers who know that Bungie just ripped us off, think twice before you buy.
What's great about it: It's halo
What's not so great: It's halo

I've gotta say i bought this game the first day it came out. i was just as excited as every other halo lover. The night after i got it i started the campaign on heroic. At first i thought it was great, the new magnum and firefight was fantastic. But i realized i was at the end of the game within a 4 hour time period. i was fine with that at the time because i was going to play firefight online when i realized there wasn't a matchmaking option for firefight. although its a great story its too short and the multiplayer isn't worth it. i would suggest this to halo lovers like myself but if your expecting a great halo game that'll keep you hooked don't bother. Id suggest waiting for Modern Warfare 2
What's great about it: Firefight, Characters
What's not so great: Too short, firefight isn't a matchmaking option

This is a great game but not as great as I suspected it to be. Firefight mode is awesome and the campaign is great but they did not change the online multiplayer from Halo 3.
What's great about it: Firefight mode, fun capaign
What's not so great: Online multiplayer is the same
