I played firefight at Gamestop, their tour of the country, and it was AWESOME!!! I pre ordered ODST at a Best Buy near my house, but they didn't say anything about the token to use Sgt. Johnson. Does it come with the game or what?

As stated above this game play is the best of much of the same. Bungie could have gone away from what made Halo so successful but they didn't and I for one love it. The game play feels slow but it is purposeful allowing the player to interact with the board and it gave a more human feel, honestly most of us got a bit tired a sprinting the Masterchief everywhere. The confrontations were pretty good requiring a bit more cover. And how could you not enjoy firefight. Oh, and of course there was matchmaking.
I did feel like the enemies were a bit weaker in this game. I am glad they got rid of the shield for the troopers and I thought it would make a big difference until I ran into a gun fight with my pistol and wasted the lot of them. Ran to go and get some health and couldn't pick it up, I realized I hadn't been hit. The videos weren't as clean as anticipated. At the opening scene all I could think about was how broken up the detail was.
Even still, this is a great game. I have my complaints but I couldn't do better. I love the Halo storyline and never want it to go away, I guess so long as Bungie keeps putting out this kind of product. It was an amazing game and am itching to get off so I can go and play. So much to say about this game in summary it is an amazing addition.
Truely impressed with where games have come. Does anybody remember pong and atari joysticks.

I am a huge halo fan, this game was fun until it randomly ended and I found out the multi player was just regular old halo three. Whatever, here are some suggestions. Add a sprinting mode on left joy stick make the game longer. Make brute shot stronger, include an odst version of multiplayer with pvp action and a flood adition to firefight. Also beatable but extremely long firefight objectives.

If you love halo then buy it, added difficulty with not having duel wield but that makes it a tad more challenging to where you can't go in guns-a-blazing. Go buy it and you will see.

This game is awesome, I admit that the story is broken but I enjoy the flashbacks. The games most prized feature is Firefight I could play this all day. Whats better then wiping out hundreds of enemies with three of your friends. Oh yeah thats right wiping out hundreds of enemies with your friends while Skulls are slowy being activated making Firefight very hard, Brings me back to Halo 2's Legendary Mode. Oh and the bonus disk that comes with it holds Halo 3's Multiplayer with all 24 maps including the new mythic maps which is a nice bonus to the game itself.
What's great about it: Well your are no longer a spartan making gameplay a lot more intense
