[Shamikebab]

I'm up for so-op if my connection is good enough.

how long the game last all depends on the skill setting harder mode will take longer

Your sig is oversize mate.

I'm really enjoying this, done the first mission and it feels quite different to Halo 3. Nathan Fillion rocks.

[Emlyn_Dewar]

Yep

 

[Kreeeee]

Remember the rule is that if you post about the game before release you need to provide a photo, or you'll risk a suspension.

 

[Shamikebab]

Oh ok, hang on.

 

[Shamikebab]

Good enough? Didn't have any hovis I'm afraid so you'll have to make do with Waitrose Farmhouse Multigrain

Had no intention of getting ODST but the buzz seems to be pretty positive atm. IGN etc reviews are rolling out soon too. I think this might be worth getting purely for firefight mode. Most fun I've ever had on Live was Horde in Gears 2 and TH in Vegas.

Took me about 7 hours total on Normal. Really enjoyable single player. Will definitely do it again and I can't wait to play it in 4 player co-op

 

[Alrik]

note for people looking for solo play only, the campaign lasts about 4 hours.

Is this from your own experience or somebody elses? I've heard some people say 3.5-4 hours and others say 6-7 hours, but they always fail to mention what difficulty it's on and whether they are doing it in Co-op or not. The right way to play would be on Heroic (solo) and Legendary (co-op) as a minimum, it even says so in the game when selecting the difficulty, this would be the only correct way to measure the length IMO.

I can quite easily steam roll through some levels in Halo 2 & 3 in 5 minutes on Easy/Normal, but that is just me rushing through everything and not playing properly.

 

[Shamikebab]

Well I did it 7 hours on Normal, I wouldn't say I did any bit particularly slowly or rushed it.

 

[Things change I've changed]

Ummmm, not to bad then, that will probably mean 8 hours for me as I'm not the most competent gamer, I think I'll grab this then, I can't really break the tradition of owning every Halo game on day one.

 

[Alrik]

What I was trying to get at is that people saying it is 4 hours long are usually the ones who did it in 4 player Co-op on Easy/Normal.

Even if the game is short I am still getting my moneys worth with Fire Fight and all the DLC maps on the MP disc Almost forgot the Reach Beta too.

This game was improved 300% by having Alan Tudyk, Nathan Fillion and Adam Baldwin doing voices. Felt like Firefly all over again, especially as Alan was the captain

Also first time we've had engineers in a Halo game I believe? (well other than Wars)
