Buying Halo 3: ODST

I read a lot of good and bad reviews on this game. I have personally found that this game is a joy to play.

Now, I love playing Halo CE, 2, 3 and now ODST.
ODST brings something different to the table, instead of the same Master Chief from the other 3 games, you are an ODST, you are weaker and smaller.

When you're the ODST, you just can't go out and attack 5 Brutes at one time or you'll be dead before you know it! Instead, you have to make a more hesitant approach, picking one or two off at long range, then sticking any ones closer to you, then meleeing/shooting any up close. I found that more fun than just going in all guns blazing and not worrying about a thing.
As the Rookie, you travel through the Mombassa streets at night, searching for clues to your separated squad, also you will find audio logs that explain about the Covenant attack on the city, (if you find all thirty, you get an achievement).
There are a total of six squad members, you play all but 1, (Dare).

When attacking the Covenant, they are much more intimidating than before, Grunts and Jackals almost look you in the eye, Brutes look huge and Hunters are just monsters!!!

Firefight is a new and very fun way to kick some Covenant butt! I have played it many times solo and with friends.
There are `new' things in ODST, (really, nothing new, just the Brute plasma rifle from Halo 2 and Engineers, weird lookin' things).

There are no Energy swords in ODST, only hammers. It seems to take a lot more Needlers to make and enemy explode. If there are two Hunters, (sometimes only 1 are around) one of the Hunters fires its Fuel Rod cannon like the handheld one, (one direct hit and you`re dead!)

Disk two has ALL the Halo 3 multiplayer maps on it, plus the three new ones, Heretic, Citadel and Longshore. In case you never bought the Limited Addition of Halo Wars, but wanted Sandbox, Orbital and Assembly--here it is!! I never bought Halo Wars, so I got SIX new multiplayer maps in disk two!

I have had ODST for over a month and a half. I was never going to pay 60 smackers for it, so I waited and bought at a lower price. I could see paying $60 for it would be too much.

Over all, I love it, and play it over and over.Get more detail about Halo 3: ODST.
