[QUOTE="a55a55inx"]Why are you criticizing a game that you haven't played yourself? Also, people give too much credit to Gears of War for their horde mode...it's not an original idea; It's just a survival mode and it has existed for years.

Because I've already played Halo 3 to the point of getting all 1000 original gamerscore... and grew to hate it by the time I got through with that. I did not say that Horde mode in Gears was original, either. But I do feel it was better executed than Firefight. At least if your friends aren't online, or you don't have any that have the game, it isn't difficult to find some random players to match up with for it. With ODST, Bungie is (rather sneakily) requiring everyone to have a copy in order to be able to play it at all, much less do what is required for the achievements that most certainly can only be had in that specific mode. I can safely criticize ODST on the count that I've already played the first three (core) Halo games, and simply... after the first, find that Bungie has basically forgot how to make a campaign worth playing. I'm also sick and fed up with the current Halo online community, which has done little more than show me why I could do without a Gold subscription to Xbox Live. (and if you're wondering, the reason I'm gold now was because I was able to jump on a rather absurd fire sale on live cards @ the campus bookstore - 12-month cards for $12.50 each :shock: ). Having played Halo 3 doesnt mean you know what your talking about when you criticise ODST, a different game. And how does does ODST not having match making "rather sneakily require everyone to have a copy in order to be able to play it at all" any different than Gears 2's horde? In Gears 2 multiple people have to have copies of the game if you want to play with a full team. In Fire fightpeople needmultiple copies to get a full team. In both games you can play the game solo and in both games you can do split screen.
When you said in a previous post that Fire fight sounded like Bungie tried to steal a mode that was done in Gears of War 2 you were implying that the Fire fight was some howless original despite the fact the modeexisted long before horde.
With out playing it yourself though you really have no say in it... You can't safely criticise ODST's campaign with out having played it yourself.
It's pointless to complain about Halo's community solely when any popular online game is full of jerks regardless if you recognize that fact or not.
Honestly your just coming across as another one of those guys who loves to waste their time complaining about Halo. I mean, your arguing with a bunch of people telling them a game you never played is bad.
