Whad'dya think? I personally haven't made it through the campaign all the way yet, but I'm getting there. As for Firefight, I am amazed at how much fun 2 hours of "OH SHIT, THEY'VE GOT [insert ridiculously strong enemy]". The tactics it takes are amazing, I've played to Set 4, Round 3, Wave 5 on normal in just over two hours. By just over, I mean like 30 or so seconds. Haven't gone for Vidmaster: Endure yet. I bet I could make it with the team I had, we were amazingly efficient. And yourself?

I also got to about set 4 and quit. We we're going for the vidmaster, then 3/4's of the way through it my friend that's playing with me pulls up his friends list to join a party. Then he sees my gamertag and it says Playing ODST Firefight: Normal. He told us. FML.

Anyway we ended up finishing the game just to boost the highscore on our service record. We ended at 500,000 points. It was insanely awesome. Lasted an hour 30 min.

Okay, so not too long ago The Cheat, one of his friends, and myself were going through campaign together on Legendary and we kinda ran into a small, but rather annoying problem. We, together had to play every map to unlock some of the missions later into ODST. now i see this as a rather large problem only the first time through because, one can just select missions after they beat ODST's Campaign once rather than relying on The Hub (were one plays as the Rookie alone at night) to get from one level to another. I dont think this would have been such a large problem if it wasnt so late at night and i haddent already played the Missions three or more times, but still it was a pain.
Note that this is only what we think is the problem, it may be something wrong we did before or it may be a larger problem than it seems.

yeah, um i feel that Drone Squads on legendary, even on Heroic, is incredibly hard!
i make Grr Face all over those Red ones.

Drone squads really? I just headshot them with a sniper or pistol, instant kill. I think that the fucking snipers on Crater(Day) and the worst. If you are holding off up by the spawn you can't shoot them with carbines or pistols. You have to either use a rocket or run up to them or underneath the other side and get a sniper. Anyway, I already beat the campaign on normal, did the Vidmaster: Classic achievement but I didn't get it. So fucking stupid, wasted like 45 minutes and it didn't work.

Drone Squads aren't too much of a pain for me unless I'm out in the open like on Lost Platoon - the roof...

As for Firefight in general, anyone who thinks Horde or Nazi Zombies is still better is just blind...it is so damn fun!

I have no idea what you're talking about, for the reason that i always get too much fecking lagg, same as i used to get with halo 3 campaign. ODST has been ruined for me.

That blows man. That really does. If your lag can somehow be fixed, you will find that ODST is bleeping awesome!

The lag is all you man. I have done 3 players with grunt birthday party on, even during the bonus round we never had lag. It's your connection I bet.

I also think it is level dependent. When Holly, Connor and I were playing last night, we had a lot of visible lag on Alpha Site, but literally none on Crater.

1 MORE DAY UNTIL I GET IT. FORGET YOUR LAG! JUST BE HAPPY THAT YOU HAVE IT YOU SELFISH LITTLE BASTARD! IF I DIDN'T RUN THESE GOD-DAMN FRICKEN CROSS-COUNTRY RACES I WOULD'NT BE THIS PISSED OFF BUT I HAVE TO RACE IN 3 HRS AND I AM REALLY PISSED OFF RIGHT NOW.

Maybe.. But I also found that GBP makes it lag alot more. But I had lag on Crater and not on Security so.. whatever.

Well, I have experienced 2 laggy games, and both times I had a guy from New Zealand and another guy from another country (I forget where)...they were our friends, but the lag was unbearable...one was on Security Zone, and the other on Lost Platoon. Idk about it being level dependant, but maybe it was just a fluke game? Or maybe you forgot to turn off the porn downloads Null? ;P

Lots of lag issues in ODST depend on NAT settings. Those with incompatible NAT types will create tons of lag in Firefight or campaign games.

Also, sometimes people's connections simply do not work together. I don't really know why that is, and we haven't figured it out yet, but I know I've been in more than a few parties where it's laggy, one person leaves, and then everything is perfectly fine. Go figure.

I think this might be attributed to slow upload speeds, though. If someone has an ISP that gives them slow upload speed, that's a huge problem not just for Firefight, but online games in general.

So, yeah.

Boston, those two levels are the biggest ones. So the levels probably do have something to do with it.

Rawr. It's amazing. I haven't even really began to touch the multiplay maps, I just loaded them up to look at them, didn't even grab the skulls. I'm very glad with this game and I have much, much more to enjoy. xD

i now remember one rather annoying part in ODST. there is a part were players get banshees but, when your teammates dies you cant get them to come back alive. it always says they're in danger or something. just stupid.

Collect all the audio files and listen to them all.
It tells a really good story and explains the "Wheres Sadie" SuperIntendent Quote also explains why part of Data Hive is frozen and add an extra part in the level and explains why that one cop and his squad was there.I was suprised in the depth of that moment.

I don't know about anyone else but I've been searching for the audophiles. I've found 16 of them and I was just running around the city. i was on legendary though, not sure why. I refuse to get help with those. Has anyone found all of them?

Just so I don't waste time, the one in datahive has to be found last right? or can you get it whenever?

I've only got 6-7 of the audiophiles. As for FF lag, I've only had it while playing with my aussie friends.

Last once you find 29 audio files then you will go on an extra detour
