Xbox360 Halo 3: ODST

[Strid]

Like I said, that isn't a gameplay problem and therefore isn't really important. The biggest gameplay problem I've encountered so far is the computer-controlled squad members. If there is anything on the road, they will stop driving and just sit in the car. Anything, be it a blown up warthog or a tiny piece of scrap from a wraith. It is ultra annoying having to get off the Turret every two minutes because they are incapable of simply driving over something.

You're better off doin' the driving. I never even bothered to use the weapon on the back of the Warthogs because you'd get mauled up, quickly. I was playin' through on Heroic mode though so could just guns-a-blazin' the stuff. What I did was drive and shield myself from fire (drive up to a wall for yourself but leave the gunner out to dry, he probably wont die) and let the AI take care of the baddies, if need be, or just drive past everything.

That was more-so toward the end of the game though. How I handled earlier stuff is below.

On the level where you're in the park, I think the first time you're able to drive the Warthog, and your team insist you get on the turret, I never even bothered gettin' in it. I used the building in the middle. On the top of the building their are some Sniper Rifles, to take out the normal enemies and some rockets for the Wraths. So there is no need to even set foot in the warthog to begin with unless you just want to use it to increase your speed to the building. After I cleared the main area I drove past everything else to the level exit. You could hang onto a few rockets and just jump out of the Warthog and blow up the Wraths along the way, if you're goin' for the achievement though.

Yeah the warthog stuff pissed me off, they couldnt drive or shoot for shit.
If i drove, they wouldnt shoot when they were supposed to be, the final level was the first game since i was like 10 to make me yell at the game and degrade the AI characters. I actually got so mad i just shut it off and finished it the next night.
Games simply do not make me mad most of the time, and when it does theres something wrong.
and i mean offline solo games. online fps ill let out a "what the fuck, thats not even fair!" but im not mad, just frustrated.
This game, at the driving parts, made me mad.

My little AI partner was not friendly to me on the highway mission either. I did it solo on legendary and it was rough with that fool.

Yeah thats the same thing i did, legendary solo. It was fine till the bugs and ghosts came out.

The ghost parts were brutal on that level. The AI gunner just didnt react fast enough for me. He wouldnt shoot the wraith when i needed him to.. He wouldnt shoot the banshees when i needed him to. Seems like he just chose his target random. Its suprising because Bungie usually makes sure the AI is top of the line. The enemy AI is not below par though.. Its pretty tough actually.

 

[Pasquale]

It's not misspelled, it's just the callsign. You can make a 4-character callsign for your character during multiplayer, and your squadmates in single player have it too. Buck is BUCK, Dare is DARE, Romeo is RMEO, Dutch is DUCH, and Mickey is MCKY.

Yeah, I realized that shortly after I posted but I haven't been able to access the site since then.

And yeah, like Chasym said, I was legitimately yelling at the AI characters. It is really fucking awful.

 

[Morcheeba]

Alright okay FINE I will admit I played last night with 2 buddies and went threw ODST, beating it.


I had fun, actually I had a blast, but I HAVE to say it's all in who you play with >.>; otherwise I would have totally disliked the whole sci-fi laser rifle experience!!!


Yea, that's right. It's fun, honest to god, then we played umm, firefight? fastfire? something, and that was fun too. So.. I have admitted it. FINE.






...but it won't last

This goes for every multiplayer game pretty much Cheebs. You never see me playing CoD4 by my self.. The game would be as usefull as Turok if not for all my friends wanting to play it.

Well I get that but it's not just a multiplayer game.. >.>;

Either way, I fold.

E- just don't tell anyone! It's totally top secret info dude, if it gets leaked out BC enjoys Halo.. all hell wil break loose.

First of all... HAHAHAHA@cheebs

Secondly, a few friends got together last night and we tried it out as well. What you fellas have been saying about the AI is right. They just don't like to shoot at stuff, like they've got some kind of internal conflict with what they are doing. They hesitate before just about every shot, and it was very frustrating.

This was the first time I had played Halo, ever. The multiplayer mode felt kind of... generic to me, but I could see the appeal to it.

You know you loved Playing Turok with me and Jer.

Oh i did enjoy our small sample of multiplayer together.. Any other time i tried to play it was just terrible. Possibly the worste multiplayer experience this gen for me.
