Bungie's Destiny

Am I the only one who thought ODST was one of the best Halo games I have ever played?

No.

Nope. ODST is probably my favourite.

Not alone at all. It's second only to the original, in my book, and its music beats even that.

In some ways yes. But Covenant Dance, and the Flood Theme are probably top 5 in terms of halo music.

I probably dislike ODST as much as I can dislike a Halo game, which means I kind of like it. It's probably the one I played the least, because I never liked traipsing across the city to get to the next bite-sized, 1-note mission. Technology-wise, it was a huge disappointment, with no rain, bad faces, and weird cartoon-style animation in the cut scenes. And then you've got that mute protagonist and a cheesy 1940's romance playing out between the guy from Firefly and the girl from Battlestar Galactica. Oh, and the BEEPING!

But you guys are welcome to your opinion.

and the girl from Battlestar Galactica

You know, I've always wondered how much her being 7 played into Bungie casting dat ass.

ODST was okay, but it didn't beat the origional 3 in my opinion. It was a nice expanision for what it was though and did offer some nice storytelling that helped bridge the gap between H2 and H3.

GI pulled out and stitched together all the asset renders/in-engine footage in a single vid, for the curious



kickass lighting, although the actual first-person shots don't seem too flattering - guess they're stuck showing scaled-down X360 footage until next-gen boxes are announced and they can show off what it really looks like (Watch Dogs and Star Wars 1313 had the "it's on a high-end PC" excuse at E3)

I'm a little concerned at how bungie is going THIS IS THE MOST INCREDIBLE LEAP YET, DON'T TRY TO DEFNIE THE GENRE BECAUSE YOU CAN'T when it just sounds like FPS gameplay with a standard MMORPG structure (as opposed to a pure "MMOFPS" in the sense of Planetside), but on the other hand A. it's Bungie taking on the task with infinite money from the richest publisher in the business B. we haven't actually seen anything about that structure outside of teasing bits from articles such as ^, so too early to call

of course it's not like Bungie was never prone to pushing that kind of reverance and hushed grandiosity when promoting their games so I guess I shouldn't be surprised

man though if it works I'm totally down; marrying that early-vanilla-WoW sense of exploring a gigantic unknown world with good shooter gameplay and the usual RPG-style progression sounds like the proverbial shit, especially if they pull head out of ass and do a PC release

E:

Covenant Dance... probably top 5 in terms of halo music.

^dis boi knows where it at

Marty is such a star fucker. I bet he managed to steal a pair of Paul McCartney's panties when he got the chance.
