My only complaint with ODST is that the campaign is too short but the Fire Fight mode is definitely nice. Can’t wait for Halo Reach. Thanks, London Theatre Reviews

I agree Matt, I really liked the idea of the city being a hub and was a different take on Halo, just the execution wasn’t really as bombastic as I’d have hoped. At least the final stage didn’t involve driving somewhere against a clock. If Reach is the swansong, then I’d imagine Bungie will pull out all the stops to say goodbye to the Spartans et. al, before their move to Activision.

I know ODST came out a while ago but i came across this from your Reach preview. But anywho…

In bungie’s defence, microsoft asked them to release a Halo 3 expansion before Reach came out, and ODST is what they came up with. It was also Microsoft’s decision to jack up the cost to full-price, which bungie had no say in. I agree that halo is being milked by microsoft. On the flipside, I think bungie should be commended for doing their best to preserve Halo’s title. It would have been much easier to just do another halo 3-style campaign, but they chose to get a bit creative and do the whole ODST thing.

I have to agree with you there Duncan – it seems to me people should know whether or not you want more Halo. I bought Halo 3 on mere word of mouth and expectation – a fun game with its online components, but no bigger than any other of it’s genre. (Not playing the first 2 made me chalk it up to not being sucked into the story like others would have been). Now the multitude of spin off’s, DLC and website contents make me believe that Bungie really is just milking their cash cow for all it’s worth.
