It's great. The campaign is a bit on the short side (but then again, so are most campaigns in FPS games), which is disappointing as Halo's story is my favourite aspect of the game. Firefight is loads of fun, and the campaign is more challenging than in previous games because you're not a seven-foot-tall super-soldier, you're just a human. That means you die like a human.

Bit annoyed that all the other maps I have already paid for on DLC are supplied with the game, but hey... at least I have a backup of them, and can probably use the disc to give them to my brother when he finally gets his bum on live so I can shoot him.

You don't down load off the disk you use the disk for the multiplayer.

Oh, ok... that is a bit strange

But ah well...

The best I've done on Firefight so far was when I went balls to the wall with the silenced Machine Pistol/assault rifle/whatever Covenant weapons I picked up when ammo ran out. I lasted 1 Set, 1 Round, 2 Waves before finally getting ran over by a Chopper for my first death(the rest of my team played a bit more conservatively and still wasted the team's life count before I died).

I think I'll go that route again next time I play.

I played firefight on easy for over an hour and a half without dying yesterday before getting bored and ending the session.

Still only got 86,000 points or so for all that time spent playing. You really need to play at the higher difficulties to get the multipliers in order to get the par scores.

Um, duh?

Firefight is meant to be played like Hordes or the Terrorist Hunts from Vegas/Ghost Recon:

With a team of your friends who can actually follow orders, and don't immediately run after the big weapons while sucking at them.

Yes, I know.

I was playing at a stupid time in the morning when no one from my friends list was online, or the ones that were did not have ODST.

Duh...

I've just found it very annoying that all the reviewers and the like have been complaining about Firefight, and then playing it solo.

Firefight is great, and I really enjoyed it coop. I was responding to the post above about someone saying their team were dying all the time, rather than anything else.

Now if you will excuse me, I will see if any of the early crowed (or late crowed of Americans) is online and go play some more firefight.

Firefight needs to end at some point.. otherwise you just die of boredom.. by set 4.

ODST was good, but not as good as I expected

1: Firefight needs to be avaliable through Matchmaking
2: Campaign was too plain
3: Plot was too dull

Come on Bungie, you could have done something more original.

I personally thought the campaign was very good, much more so than halo 3. I also liked the different style of music, haven't tried firefight myself. Overall I liked, i thought the stamina system was very good rather than just relying on a healthbar alone.

Firefight through matchmaking would be terrible.

It really only works well with friends, trying to do it with random folks ends terribly.

I think if your complaining on the campaign play it on legendary solo..

Im currently doing that, and it makes the game so much more fun. Brutes are scary.. I delibrately avoid stuff and try to sneak around as the rookie. ANd it takes way longer as you adjust your tactics from Look at me I spit death.. to holy gak grenade stick.

Anyone notice the chaos symbol is one of the emblems thats cool.

It's also one of the most overused mythological/mystical symbols, so I wasn't surprised.
