This should be good. Firefight sounds awesome!

On a semi related note, I have a digital signage and wide format print class, and the instructor brought in a bunch of samples from his work, and there was a giant banner for ODST there. Tre cool!

Here is GT's review.
Watching now.

It's getting better reviews than I thought it would. I'm still not entirely convinced on the multiplayer after H3's disappointment.

Well it is Halo 3's multiplayer, nothing has changed.

Firefight is new, but more like Gear's Horde than anything.

And yeah its getting better reviews than expected, being that it pretty much is an expansion pack or .5

[gekko]

Firefight is the greatest thing since sliced bread, and Halo's campaigns have always been good. Needless to say, ODST is just plain awesome.

Only one game can stop it... COD4-2.

[Dyne]

I'm hesitant. I might go halfsies with my brother on this, otherwise, I don't think I'd have any time for it.

[Typhoid]

I'll play it when my friend buys it.

[Bond]

Free action figure and 20-dollar gift card with purchase of ODST at Toys-R-Us.

The EB Games near me is having a midnight release so ill be waiting in line for that.
Got nothing better to do anyways.

[Angrist]

Wow, the Halo madness is still going strong... amazing.

[BreakABone]

Firefight is pretty insane.
So far "completed" two maps. And each was a time sink.

[Fox 6]

Unlocked Dare yesterday, and had a really awesome firefight match just now!

Me and Combine kicking butt

[Combine 017]

Yeah, but more people would be more fun.
To bad Earl has an Earl connection or he could play too.

[BreakABone]

I am willing to give plugging into my modem directly a chance, for firefight and with some notice since have to move my Xbox and stuff.

[Typhoid]

I beat the game today, and me and my friend completed 3 firefight maps on heroic.

[BreakABone]

Yeah, but more people would be more fun.
To bad Earl has an Earl connection or he could play too.

Well, we all know my connection was iffy to begin with, but it has been unbearably bad since I got this game so I finally had to call the company.

Apparently, I'm using signal/connection somewhere along the way so sending a tech dude out here tomorrow to check it out.

Let's hope it remedies some problem.

[Fox 6]

Earl, we played with a guy from Australia and the connection was a million times better than yours.
