I just read a lot of reviews for this game and almost unanimously is the "save your money" line in the review. There's no BR and apparently it is not much different from Halo 3. One review called ODST a tribute band.

Toys R Us is apparently giving away a $20 gift card with ODST and Amazon has $15 off a future video game purchase (Both links below to cheapassgamer.com)

how does that shite go from Tulsa, Oklahoma to Louisville Kentucky in the first place?

I'm in fricking Houston.


I could have driven to Tulsa to pick that shite up personally by the time it gets here.

Just FYI...the no BR and lowered shields deal is just for the campaign. Online it business as usual with the new maps.

What's the basic plot of singleplayer. Any hints at what we might see in Reach or any left out tidbits of info?

Any and everything you need to know about ODST. I'm picking mine up tomorrow. While many have said you should "save your money" on this, I think if you are pretty into the Halo series you should love this. But even if you are not give this review a read to help you decide.

Anyone who played last night want to give us a run down on a few things?

How's the campaign storyline?
New weapons?
Have you tried the multiplayer or firefight?
New Covenant characters?
New Grenades?

Do you specify a certain type of soldier?

I got it last night, the multiplayer is the same as Halo 3, in fact, if you have all of the maps you will play against ODST people, minus the 3 new maps they came out with. I played the campaign, but I'm not sure I'd be the best to explain about this because I'm not into campaign and only play it for multiplayer.

I only played for about 30 minutes this morning after picking it up this morning.

Story is looking solid and I think this is the strongest point of the game. The Opening cinematic is awesome.

Game play feels like Halo 1 which is awesome. The new ODST weapons (Magnum, Silenced MPG) are great.

No new grenades

Main enemies so far are Grunts and Brutes (with shields and armor).

I'll let you know more when I get back to playing later today.
