ODST

I like to pronounce it as a single word.

So the launch was kinda lame at my store. I was 3rd in line and 5th to get the game because while everyone (including me) waited outside in a single file line, some smart guys waited in the store and just got it at midnight. Oh well.

I beat it on normal earlier today, by myself. Didn't touch co-op or Firefight yet (however, I did get all the skulls--thanks youtube, I owe you one). Was the campaign worth it? Yep. Joystiq reviewer said he wished the sun would come up. I disagree. I didn't mind the VISR mode and besides, the flashbacks are light enough and interspersed between the darkness to provide variety. Said reviewer also couldn't connect with the characters. I disagree ONLY because I love Firefly. Seeing Firefly is a prerequisite to loving the characters.

They say you're so weak and human but I disagree. Put it on easy mode and just say things like "I need a weapon." and "Sir, finishing this fight." and you're good to go!

Gavino said it was better than Halo 3. He has a point, but I don't think so. Although...all I could think about was finishing the campaign whenever I wasn't playing. I have a pitiful life at the moment though.

Now I have to get the firefight vidmaster and the deja vu vidmaster for recon.

Whee.

Well, "obst" is fruit in German and that's all the game's name reminds me of.

^Molly actually has 3 missions left. I'm probably on the 2nd one, but since I'm trying to play on Legendary it's slow going until I get someone to play through with me.

oddst!

Firefight is probably the best part of the game. I had to play alone because no one else was playing when I tried it out. I got really close to finishing the level by myself on normal (I was on the last wave) and I'm pretty sure I could have finished it if I wasn't deeply programed to want to melee all enemies in Halo.

I also took the time to get all of the skulls (kudos to YouTube for that as well, although I got the one on Sandbox on my own) plus the tankdrop achievement.
I played some action sack and it's a total bummer that you need to have all of the DLC to play on it, I had a blast doing team stickies and playing this inventive "tag" game on sandbox where one team is up top with snipers and lasers while the juggernaut team moves to destinations trying to rack up points.

Firefight is fun, but takes forever to get the achievements. Getting the Vidmaster achievement in firefight is going to take a lot of practice.

As far as the campaign goes, I'm a little sad the flood aren't in it. Not sure why people neg modded me when I said that before, but whatever. I guess they can't stand the flood. Other than that, it was great. Lots of fun and Co-op only makes it better. If you can stand the lag that hits every now and then.
