If Halo 3: ODST were big enough to be a standalone game
With its own multiplayer (not Halo3) along with its native firefight mode and a campaign that was as long as Halo 2 and it was called Halo: ODST...
Would you still buy it?
Would you have enjoyed it less or more?
Personally it would have probably been my favourite Halo game. In its current state i feel its too short and playing multiplayer as an odst would be fun.
-
To be honest, it was more of a Halo 2: ODST but I can see why it wasn't called that because of Halo 3 being out and all.
-
Would buy either way.
-
I liked ODST regardless. If it had multiplayer, Halo 3 style, would have been an exellent game though.

I got it at the time for something ridiculous like 20 quid (when the supermarkets were having price wars) so even though it was a short game, I felt I more than got my money's worth. Not to mention it having the best campaign after Halo 2. I hope we get a Halo 4: ODST at some point, though I can see Buck being an SIV.
-
I would have still bought it and probably spent more time on the game.
-
The story snippets in ODST are still among my favourite memories from any Halo game. They pretty much perfectly showcased every aspect of Halo gameplay. I didn't enjoy the playing in New Mombasa at night as much, on my own, but it was still good. Online multiplayer for ODST would've been great. And all the FF maps on ODST were epic!
-
I just wish Bungie had raised their game instead of lowering it when it came to plot.
-
It's already my favourite Halo game
-
It had my favorite single-player of all the games and-- though I cannot describe a logical reason why-- I enjoyed its Firefight ten times more than Reach's. If multiplayer had been added, I would've crapped myself. :P
-
It was a pretty good game. It was short, but it was fun. If it had its own multiplayer, as long as it was similar to Halo 2 or 3, I would probably still be playing it.

Yes, yes, yes.

ODST sucked so I probably would've enjoyed it more.
-
Yes...so much yes.
-
I'd probably buy it regardless.

You need to stick together and play it tactical. Dodging enemies like chieftans and hunters were harder so power weapons were saved to use on them. Whereas in reach its quite easy to jump over a hunter or chieftan and shotgun them in the back., or stick them and run away. Plus the vidmasters made for some great times. Vidmaster: Endure... damn those last waves were tense!

I enjoyed ODST and thought it was a great stand alone game. It had a great ambiance and feel to it. I especially liked the night time levels with the Rookie, and locating the clues(back-story levels) to find out what happened to your squad was an awesome way to present a plot.

It should have had its own multiplayer. Maybe three or four playlists. That'd be cool. And you'd be ODST's, so it would be a totally different experience, similar to Battlefield or Medal of Honour.
-
The only thing objectively bad about it was that it was so short. You're saying fix that. How could it [i]not[/i] be better?
-
It'd be really interesting if Bungie actually made an ODST multiplayer. It would have made the game alot better, imo, even if the multiplayer wasn't that great.

Honestly, ODST was easily among the core Trilogy in terms of quality in every aspect it had available. If it had a dedicated multiplayer and what-have-you however...I don't know, it could very well have been the best Halo game yet. Funny how an "expansion pack" was better than a full game (Reach) [Edited on 11.03.2012 7:35 AM PDT]

They had to scrap the majority of Halo 2 not too long before release and redo most of it, and look at how people view it now! I'm looking forward to the next little "side-project" Bungie ends up developing.
