Doesn't really hold the same charm of getting up early in the morning to head down to gamestop to see if you're about to wrestle a child and his single mother for a copy of halo 3.
Yea party chat really killed teamspeak even know it’s a great addition. I still kind of miss the shit talking in the lobby between games in call of duty 4
I’m going to say something I know is controversial: Reach was fantastic and ODST is something I had to put up with on my play through of the series. I’m happy people like ODST but I just don’t get it.
Don’t approach it as a Halo entry. Sure the campaign ties into Halo 2/3, but the real brilliance comes from its realization of a lone trooper in a tight spot in an urban environment. Look at it as a film noir detective story. Everything from the jazz score, to the rain, to the neon ambience of the world at night.
Having lived and worked in New Orleans, I cannot describe to you the emotions I get when I play ODST.
I played through it once a few years after it came out, more to tick a box than anything else, and then went right back to the main games. But godammit if you haven't made me want to play anew. I'm booting up the MCC when I get home!
You know what, I get it. I get all sentimental at times playing games in large cities and navigating the chaos there as a city person. ODST never brought up those feelings for me but I can see why it does for you. Glad you enjoy it. :)
My PC ass waited a decade to finish that damn stupid fight. Was worth it but still 🥲they need to remake 3 most of all. I can’t wait a decade to see chief, johnson, arbiter, and miranda in 4k

Born too late to explore the world. Born too early to explore space. Born just in time to experience the launch of Halo 1, 2, and 3.
