I am just getting into the Halo series now and I am curious about the new Halo 3: ODST release. I hear that it's a stand-alone expansion of Halo 3 and the critics love it, but would you recommend it for a casual Halo fan? I am not into online gameplay, so I would only benefit from the single player campaign. Is that alone worth the price of admission? |

I havnt gotten it yet but from i have heard its decent. however it really depends on what you do in the halo games, if you only play multiplayer it might not be worth it as i have heard it only has 3 new maps (although it also includes fire fight which i have many good things about) if you are just buying for the campaign then i hear it is a solid campaign but only about 6-9 hours long. all comes down to personal preference i suppose |

Ill tell you something about my day today, well i went to gamestation and brought Halo3 ODST played it for an hour thought it was shit returned it and got beatles rockband instead. The reasons why i didnt like it because it really didnt feel like halo and firefight isnt really worth it either so i got rid of it |

It's very expensive for what should've been DLC. I'm giving it a miss. |

Nope 5-6 hours of SP gameplay not worth price. Its a rent only. rent it beat it and move on you can also tell by gameplay videos its not worth 50$ or 20$ lol Wait till MW2 or the new flashpoint game. Always play demos / watch gameplay footage before you buy a video game Most games are all hype these days. Frankly the only tip i can give you is stay away form games that only take 1-2 years to make they are usly bad and a rent only save your 50-60$ on games with new engines and totaly new features.

I was going to pick this up myself being a VERY casual Halo player here as well, but 69.99? No thanks, I was originally going to get this when some of my buddies were to play online, and go through co-op campaign. One of my friends bought it and ended up returning it, not because it was lousy, he said he enjoyed what was there..but said that what was there wasn't enough to warrant to price point. I'd wait until it drops down by at least 20 bucks, otherwise it's a skip for right now, you will be done this game by 5-8 hours depending how you play. After all it was going to be an expansion, it's just beefed up a little. Wait it out, be kind to your pockets!

Definitely worth 30-40$ but at its current 80$ price point I think I will pass it up until a price drop. |

Its worth it, I love the single player and if you never bought any maps for Halo, like me it adds even more to the price. |

The thing about ODST is that it's only a good purchase for people who don't either have Halo 3 or don't have the map packs. It is a good deal if don't own Halo 3, Firefight looks pretty awesome, I just wish it had matchmaking so you can play with other people over XBL, not just your friends. |

The common consensus here seems to be that it's worth getting after the price drops, so I will probably do that. Thanks for the input everybody
