I'm thinking of buying the game, but it seems to get lots of hate. Is the game any good?

Yes it was good. And yes, it's worth buying, especially at the price it is now.

Great campaign, good Firefight and you get all the multiplayer maps of a game that still has a healthy community to this day.

Go for it.

You'll get a lot of naysayers here, but I felt it was the strongest campaign of the series. Firefight was only hampered by the fact that there was no matchmaking.

So yes, I'd recommend it.

It's worth it only if you're a huge fan of the series and want to experience more of the Halo universe.

You can get it for around $15 right now, which is a good price for a pretty good game. It offers a different perspective that is incredibly unique to the Halo universe.

I liked it. If you play it how it was intended, it's a really good game.

Well he would not be buying it for $60....................anyway, if you don't currently have Halo 3 and all the map packs then for sure get it. Or if you just want to experience the Halo universe and story from a different perspective then definitly go for it. I had a lot of fun with the game. Enjoyed it very much.

I like Halo 3 ODST alot. It's a different take on the mainstream Halo story, and it's plenty challenging.

If you really enjoyed Halo 3 then I'd reccomend. But I didn't enjoy it that much.

Same. The Campaign was one of THE best. It was better than Halo 2 and 3, the only thing that annoyed me was the end (seriously, THAT was what the mission was for?) The atmosphere, missions, set pieces, etc. were all great. Really enjoyable. The Multiplayer is basically every single Halo 3 match. If you want to play Halo 3 multiplayer get it.

Are you worth answering?

Anyway, it is, it's a great game, though Reach is a lot better because of it's mltiplayer. But SP is still a lot of fun.

odst was disappointing after halo 3. the campaign was a bit bland and uninspired and the environments quickly became repetitive.

worth a purchase only if youre have nothing else to play and you can pick it up for cheap

Yes. The only reason people hate it is because Microsoft decided to make it a full-priced game, despite Bungie's plan to do otherwise.

Halo ODST is decent game, when I first played it I didn't think it was that great but I recently replayed it on Legendary and really enjoyed it. It's definitely worth getting now that you can get it pretty cheap. IMO it wasn't worth full price when it came out though.
