Been playing through the Halo MCC and just finished ODST after playing through 1-3.

It wasnt bad, but also was not nearly as good as 3 was.

It was more like a standalone Halo 3 expansion really.

odst was either bungie getting greedy or Microsoft forcing bungie to get greedy. It was initially talked about in that Interviews and stuff as an expansion but towards the end of development they started going oops we made it a full game and now have to charge full game price

in the end it didnt at all deserve that, even and the only thing remarkable about it was adding firefight

iirc Microsoft made it $60, Bungie wanted it to be $40

I like it as a standalone experience. I beat it all in one sitting and it was one of the best game experiences I've ever had.

Reach is underrated. My cousin wanted to skip it when we played through the series last year. Either cause it wasn't with the collection or something else. I remember it being my favorite.

How's it look on the X? Also, do you need the Master Chief Collection to play it?

Reach fucking blows
nah man

EDIT: Yes, there were a couple aspects that could have been better fine-tuned or left alone, but the game as a whole is pretty great

Kind of like how the first Halo loses its budget orgets rushed halfway through and turns into repetitive hallways with the same exact enemies. I didn't remember the Flood section of the game being so exhausting and unfun until I played it again last year. The Flood is fun for like the first hour or something, then you realize you're stuck in a loop of artificial lengthening.

I like ODST a lot but I feel like it makes more sense to play before halo 3 than after it. It feels more subdued and muted in tone which can come off as bland compared to 3 being the climax of the series.

Something about reach makes me enjoy it less than the other bungie games. Part of it is the complete lack of space adventure that the other games had but I also think maybe its just the reach specific weapons like the needle rifle and the lightning gun sniper thing being really boring
