I beat Halo 3: ODST in three days. I finished it Thursday night. While the Campaign was great, Firefight and Multiplayer will keep me wanting to play longer trying to kill waves of Covenant and defeating my friends in Slayer matches.
Loving the game so far. Blows Halo 3 out of the water for sure. Two questions:
-
What’s the best order, story-wise, to visit the beacons?
-
I revisited Taori plaza and found another beacon there. Upon searching, I fiund the helmet once more, smashed into the scren. I already played that mission, but when I inspected it it made me go through it again. What’s going on?
1: It really only depends on who you want to play as in Firefight.
You can inspect every “teammate beacon” in any order after finishing the game once (at least for me). I spent more than an hour driving around in a mongoose finding audio logs, i’ve got 18 now, only one is not in the mombasa streets level, and you can only get it when all other ones are located.
I also managed to crawl on top of a roof, i hit a clip brush and i got stuck up there.
I like the way each weapon has its own use, rather than every weapon being almost the same.
-
Just follow the blue thing marked on your map. I did and the story was in order. Oh, and before you find the last beacon, make sure you’ve found (and listened to) all the audio logs, or else the entire city will be blocked off, and the plot twist towards the end won’t have the same effect.
-
I have no idea.
Yeah. The weapons in Call of Duty just seem like reskins of the same type of weapon with various accuracy and damage levels. Not to mention the fact that it’s so easy to get kills.
The soundtrack is fucking EPIC.

You didn’t have a point to begin with. You were too busy blowing somebody else to realize that he didn’t know what the hell he was talking about in the first place; which he admitted to afterwards.
Alright, for those of you who already beat the short but incredible campaign, it left me a bit confused plotwise. I felt like the hard-to-find audio logs were neccesary to understand some plot points, and the story itself felt a bit rushed, especially the intro, which was basically “Hey yoo guys, we’re gunna keel sum bitch ass aliens”. Visually, I appreciated that Bungie finally lived up to expectations set before Halo 2 to make a game set just on Earth. I digged the city, as I am pretty tired of ancient/purple hallways. The actual gameplay, though, was fantastic, as each daytime level caught a snippet of contained awesomeness from the Halo series, while the nightime sandbox combined them all into an awesome stew. Combined with the addicting Firefight mode and the awesome and original soundtrack, and you have yourself a game definetly worth buying.
Just wiki the plot, and if that fails, youtube the audio entries.
Phuck that, I’m doing it legit. I’m relieved to have survived the campaign spoiler-free, now I just have to tie up the loose ends myself.
Besides, it’ll net me about 100 G’s.
Yeah, it’s definitely one of my favorite, if not my favorite, games on the 360. This is what Halo 3 should have been.
The sandbox city was awesome, as was the random enemy placement throughout the city and the constant Phantoms and what-not dropping off troops. The city itself looked realistically war torn, and the Superintendent was cute.
On a similar note, I liked how they didn’t clue you in on how to find the audio logs. The first few I found by sheer luck. After that, I began to realize that if there was a weird noise, an audio log was probably nearby. By twenty, I associated anything electronic going haywire (as well as the Super’s messages) with the audio logs. Amazing.
Didn’t finish it yet, I only played it at home and I’m without a 360 at my dorm. But I am damn close…
EDIT: I hear that you can only get the last audio log the first time through, if you’ve gotten the rest prior to. So if you finished the game already, you’re fucked.
Ah yes, I forgot you get rewards for playing the game.
No, that would be fucking stupid if Bungie did that. You have to get 29 audio logs in Mombasa Streets, then the 30th one can be found in Data Hive.
Here’s a map:

Oh, and I’m one more Vidmaster away from h4z1n r3c0nz!!!1!!!1!!!111 Unfortunatly, it’s “Endure”, and the Black Eye skull with Mythic is the worst fucking thing ever!
Me and my friends were on the last fucking wave, but we were all out of lives, so we got our asses handed to us. Three hours of hardwork and headshots down the drain! Fucking Bungie!
Just take a look on their forums, lots of people lose right before the bonus round.
I’ve heard alot about this game, ive played it myself, its good, but not woth getting unless it drops to like £15-£20?
Damn it, now all the friends I tried getting Endure with now have it! Now everyone but me has r3c0nz.
Is God punishing me for being an atheist? If so, then fuck him. The time he spends mentally torturing me* with a video game armor is time he could be spending ending disease and hunger in Africa, or the entire world for that matter.
*Exaggeration![/SIZE]
The Covenant ended hunger and disease in Africa . . .
Ooooooh snap! Good one!
Why is Africa always getting pissed on? If hunger, disease, political corruption, and civil war weren’t enough, now they have aliens glassing the place and flood zombies to worry about!
I can almost see why all the 13 year olds think District 9 was the result of an unfinished halo movie.
