And me :datass:

Don't like it though :shifty:


I hated the game structure, and the hub world itself is dull as ditchwater. But some of the levels themselves are really good.

It's not really linked to Halo 3. It takes place during Halo 2 after the Metropolis mission (I think) in New Mombasa just after the Covenant ship does a slipspace jump above the city and wrecks it.

Thanks. As a continuity obsessive, I'll maybe tackle it after Halo 2 then! :)

How long did you give it? It takes about 10 times longer than any other game to find a match.

ODST was amazing. Really jealous of those getting to play it at 1080/60.

I can see why a lot of folks rate this so highly in the Halo series. It's a lot shorter but it's also probably the only Bungie Halo game not to have seriously gooseberry fool level like Library, Cortana and a lot Halo 2's campaign. Playing it on Legendary was a lot of fun and for 6 year old game the AI is pretty good. I wouldn't mind seeing 343 try something new with Halo 5's structure like Bungie did with this. Definitely the best pistol in a Halo game since Halo 1 :datass:
