My issues are the missing character voices in firefight and the secondary skulls not being active in the current ODST matchmaking firefight Other than that it has been wonderful having ODST back and all the love its getting. Back in the day, things were a little heated about ODST being a worthy game. I think ODST, like the ol' original CE, keeps gettin better and better with age. EDIT- ok after returning to the 360 original, all the ODSTs aside from Rookie talk WAAAY more! I really, really hope these audio bugs actually get fixed
Experienced the same issue with the callouts during FF, and something I found out with a friend of mine is that if you play FF with someone else, only the host will be able to hear the voices in game
Jorge Loredo Hernández yeah and since nobody is host on the matchmaker one, nobody gets to say a damn thing! at first it doesnt seem like a big deal, and then you realize the whole season is based AROUND UNLOCKING FIREFIGHT CHARACTERS THAT CANT SPEAK! lol its like playing for different hands
Anyone reading this, please make a ticket on the support site for it. I have as well, but this isnt on their "known issues" list so this isnt being reported enough.
@Nagger a gun capable of dealing 72 headshots quickly with a full gun? What's not to love? The only people that complain is the dumbasses who empty 5 mags in a fully shielded brute prime.
@Nagger right not like u can one shot a hunter with the magnum in CE. Swear the automag is one of the most trash guns in all of halo. wayyy better options to use during that campaign why would anyone get excited over that.
Right before you mentioned that Assault Rifle detail I was thinking to myself “hey, that looks really good and familiar... where have I seen that before?” Thanks for putting my scattered pieces together lol
I’m only disappointed that only like 4 weapons gets skins, I was hoping it would be like ce where every gun got some And s personal thing is that the pistol gets the best skins IMO but they are for the pistol which in halo 3 sucks and you would never use it
I'd use it but only if I don't have a BR. Having a weapon that can actually headshot matters, even if it's not the best one. But, the Automag is basically what the 3 magnum should have been. Outside of dual wielding, it's straight up superior than the magnum in every regard. IMHO, Magnum should have been what Automag is now, while automag's fire rate be upped to have something over magnum. Magnum for kill time, automag for backup or to finish off targets. Then again, both will be replaced by the BR so...
Wolf DragoX I feel like they should’ve taken away all the halo 3 and halo 4 armors and make us earn them again so having cooler armor means something like it did in the 360 But if they are gonna drag it out and make weapons skins over time for new season then yeah I like it that way better
@@deafbyhiphop Imo by itself its pretty bad, but with certain duel wield combos it can be really good. Smg + Magnum for example. I still don't like the gun though.
@@kyotanaka920 100% Agree with you. Ouside from Dual Wielding there's nothing the Magnum has that the Automag doesen't. On the other hand, the Automag has tons of stuff that the Magnum doesen't Automag pros: slightly higher damage, slightly higher firerate, 4 more bullets, almost no bullet spread, 2x Zoom, higher range Magnum pros: Dual Wielding Now that the Automag is in H3, there is literally no practical reason to pick up a Magnum, the Automag one-ups the Magnum in every way, the only thing the Magnum has over the Automag is Dual Wielding, which adds no real advantage since Dual Wielding decreases accuracy and damage, both things you need on a weapon like the Magnum.
I just finished ODST a couple days ago, my first time actually playing the campaign all the way through. The campaign was great and the soundtrack, my god.
@@dylanj950 maybe to some it looks tacky but I care more about having to accomplish something and have the gold skin represent the difficult challenge I overcame to get this bad ass skin. Like the gold weapon skins in call of duty
It’s not that the character models don’t change in first person it’s that their porting models have been bugged. For both first persona and third person models it will show incorrec skin color and even a black texture over the camo on both the pants and wrist gauntlets for some characters. It’s honestly annoying and I doubt 343i is even looking deep into the issue. Also firefight voices not being heard during firefight matchmaking.
Am I the only one with callout issues during FF? Something that I discovered with one of my friends is that when playing halo 3 ODST ff on matchmaking, we were not able to hear the callouts So we decided to make a custom FF to confirm something, and to our surprise only the host can hear the callouts your character says Anyone know if it can be fixed?
Great video! I’ve been playing huge amounts (unhealthy amounts) of MCC on Xbox since the new season started, I absolutely love Recon slayer However the one thing that stands out is the FOV of the Automag pistol on the Xbox version, I don’t even think I can see any of the Spartan’s hand on screen Hopefully the Xbox version gets an FOV slider sooner or later
ODST is one of my favorite “lore” games, meaning that the background stuff is more interesting to me then the main narrative. Going for all the audio logs is still one of my favorite accomplishments in gaming and it still gives me chills listening to all of them back to back.
Yeah, ODST had great world-building. I was able to immerse myself into New Mombasa better than any other Halo game. The audio logs, combined with the cute companion A.I. (Vergil), gave ODST a lived-in vibe that was oddly embracing. I can't really describe it well, but playing this game felt like curling up next to a fire while drinking a mug of hot cocoa on a winter night. Just really immersive and comforting.
The Isaiahnator that’s the way I would describe it to. If you want a warm and comforting Halo game play ODST, if you want more action play the original trilogy, if you want a deeply emotional story play Reach.
When I played ODST as a kid it was often alone, as I couldn't invite anyone over to play it with me. This update has let me experience a dream that I thought was impossible :)
I've had a few annoying bugs with ODST. My biggest issue isn't specific to ODST, but the audio as characters interact with their environment is delayed by about a second from the video, I experience this in Halo 3 as well. My only real issue with ODST itself is that on max fov, my camera clips into my guy's body.
@NEXTしょう。。。 I've played on the H2A multiple times and never had a noticable frame rate drop. (Although I am a console player so I might not be able to tell often)
I try not to get that close to brutes, especially on legendary. I usually just use the good old Plasma Pistol/Rifle and Magnum/Carbine combo. Love using the silenced smg on normal though.
While I agree with a lot of your praises, the fact that region choice still isn't in is baffling. Countries like Australia are still forced to play on American servers.
If I'm not mistaken region choice is coming next season (as in Halo 4). Obviously we don't know when that's going to happen just yet but it'll be before the end of the year
Bless this PC port for finally letting me experience halo for myself. I’ve found the learning curve to be a bit too steep and the multiplayer has been little other than frustrating for me but the single player modes are absolutely stellar and a fantastic experience. I just wish that they would tone down the aim assist on controllers so that it stops feeling like everybody has aimbot.
It is such a relief after 6 damn years that MCC is living up to and exceeding my initial hopes for it, after the atrocity of its release I literally had a bad taste in my mouth and almost never played the game with any sort of regularity up until the summer or fall of 2019, this past year has been a dream come true for any halo fan and I really hope they support it alongside infinite, hell if i could get a better performance like an expanded forge and a halo 3 anniversary id buy it again for Xbox series x or s!
Couldn’t agree more. My buddy and I bought this game day one and it was nearly unplayable. I tried playing it and doing LASO, constant glitch and achievements not popping, multiplayer unplayable, and constant DC. Last year we started playing again and couldn’t be happier.
Really nice touch using one of the more underrated tracks from ODST at 7:02, Something Like Sorrow. It's a shame it gets forgotten and outshined by always being grouped with Bits and Pieces
i wish that they would make a separate series that focuses just on the ODST i love the way game play feels in ODST compared to the main series being a human without shields is actually pretty cool and it makes the covenant seems more deadlier than ever.
Halo 2 is still in dire need of graphical fixes. The shading/lighting is not correct, and the lights on covenant armor are appearing through thin walls. I hadn't played Halo 2 legacy in years, and going back has made me realize just how terrible the MCC version looks.
Its i think because of the fact for halo cea and halo 2 on classic graphics bump maping and porting, they decided for both the halo 2 and halo ces pc versions (which had these issues too) was best for as a base to make the anniversary versions
really enjoyed this one!!! the color problems you mentioned didn't really bother me very much. i didn't even notice the lighting bug on the weapons lol. I can't wait to see what cool mods we will get with ODST, I think modders can really go crazy with the big open new mombasa map! Definitely one of my favorites, we really need more ODST halo games!
Its so good to see all these old games getting the love they deserve. Even skins for a 19 year old game like halo CE for guns and visors is just amazig like this shows that people really care in this community and its so lovely 😢
ODST on Heroic with Famine on is beyond immersive. Frustrating at times, but really fucking immersive. You drop out of the pod with full ammo, but as time goes on you run shorter and shorter. Right before the data give mission, a bunch of brutes are guarding the entrance and I had to take them on with 2 plasma grenades, 20 rounds in a plasma rifle and I juggled between an assault rifle with 40 rounds and a brute shot with two. It took me an hour to get them. The brutes weren’t that bad, it was the two sniper jackals that I had no precision ammo to kill that kept getting me. You’re so squishy as an ODST, it really removes the power trip and makes you feel like you’re fighting for survival.
I really love your video! The words and the vocabulary are well choose and well use. The intonation and ponctuation are amazing! The video editing is on point with a nice halo reference (the black horizontal bar and pathetic title)! I find your opinion non bias. Your analysis are on point. They are really well thought and really well express! You put out more than excellent quality/content. It just amazing! Thank you and have a nice day! :)
Gotta say for myself we are the desperate measures is my favourite track from ODST OST. Love that song and wish it was in the game more than one mission still this game was fun back in 2009 and its still fun in 2020.
I agree 100% that "More Than His Share" is the best track in ODST. I play Tayari Plaza more than any other mission specifically for the music, and I always take my time, even though I wouldn't say it's the most fun mission. One of the best tracks in the entire Halo franchise.
Oh my god what’s the outro music called? I’ve never been able to find that exact song for years. It’s something nostalgic to me since an old flash game I played a long time ago used it.
@Late Night Gaming you gotta try boosting the Green in-game using reshade to try and even out the aggressive Red and Blue colors to give it the full RGB treatment.
I came up with a video idea for your "Evolution of" series. A evolution of the covenant. While is there is a mega ton of lore and stuff to talk about, I think a video on them would be amazing!
I absolutely love your videos keep it going man. These are the perfect videos for me to watch in bed and watch in the middle of the day thanks for the vids :)
Firefight matchmaking was the best part. Old ODST was invite only lobbys and made grinding out achievements super hard as you had to make friends on other games to see if they had ODST to play some round of firefight for.
Recently beat ODST on heroic with a bro. Great nostalgia. Would love more halo games like ODST. Or more halo games centered around marines/ODST. Actually more entries to the series exploring the established universe would be cool.
The shadows on guns aren't glitchy for me, running an RTX 2070 with the latest NVIDIA drivers. Maybe that's a ReShade or using the NVIDIA control panel to force AF/AA?
What’s your refresh rate and can you record the exact stairs I was at? If you aren’t experiencing the issue then that’s actually helpful in figuring out what causes it
I bought ODST/Forza as a double-pack out of the bargain bin at a local game store some time around 2014-2016. I honestly played Forza more than I did Halo, even though I was an avid Halo fan, playing through CE-4, and Reach at the time. I don't know why I never played ODST, or what I was waiting for. But being able to experience a Halo game, totally fresh and new to me, on PC, is something Im glad I got to do.
My only issue with mcc (aside from multiplayer) is the loading screen in between campaign missions, especially in ODST, they're supposed to transition to the next mission smoothly, and if I recall correctly this was done with a black screen that hided the loading while having the music finished it's bit, but in mcc, the music and visuals get abruptly cut off into a loading screen with a static image and different music, killing off whatever atmosphere the previous mission had built up.
Halo 3 ODST's update did bring a lot of things, and LNG forgot to talk about the Spartan Biped for Halo 3 customization. It's the exact same as ODST's but the shoulders are slightly messed up.
I only played Halo 1 and 2 when they were new, way back in the day. With the MCC, I convinced a friend of mine (who hadn't played any Halo before at all) to join me for some coop campaign action. Re-playing Halo 1 and 2 was obviously not that exciting for me or him; the games were great in their day and still playable now, but they really show their age. However.... We just finished Reach a few nights ago, and have started on ODST earlier tonight. And hot damn, we have been loving every minute of both. They really did a terrific job with these two.
You're truly a connoisseur in your speech and choice of language to describe the game. I feel like I'm listening to an English teacher reading a poem about Halo 🙌😂
Q&A question for next week. Given the fact that halo 5s multiplayer and warzone is explained in universe as training Spartans for every conceivable situation they may encounter. Do you think it’s possible for a promotional event in the months leading up to Halo Infinite to feature banished enemy types including brutes and maybe a few added in weapons?
The use of the music in this game was phenomenal and I’m glad it’s back to be phenomenal again. I still like Destiny 1’s music more than anything out of O’Donnell (I hope I spelt that right) and Salvatori’s magic music book.
Minor correction. It was Halo 2 Anniversary that got its customization unlocked. Also they finally fixed the bugged Halo 2 elite texures in customization
As for what we know now, Season 4 will be heavily focused on Halo 3 and Reach, i think the DLC armors from the OG Halo 4 will be there too, but nothing confirmed, as far as Halo 2 goes, no news on what will happen in Season 4. If you're interested on a sneak peek to Season 4 look at this: www.halowaypoint.com/en-us/news/mcc-development-update-august-2020 it is mostly a Season 3 update, however you can find a sneak peek of Season 4 right below the H2A Armor customization image, and let me tell you it is exciting!
I really really really hope they are able to do a flood variation of Firefight for ODST. I think the nighttime missions on top of the fact that ODST are squishier than Spartians would make a great survival horror experience. They could even buff the infection forms by making them do substantially more damage to you so it will truly show how scary the flood are when you and your teammates are ODST compared to how they were when you was the Master Chief in Halo 3. I know it wouldn't be that much of a stretch to do ether since Halo 3 and ODST are on the same engine. They would just need to be able to make the spawns customizable like they was in Reach firefight and to buff the infection forms and there you have a flood survival mode where it will actually be kinda frightening.
Forgot to mention how they added the BR to firefight!
What maps/settings? Is it only PC?

ODST plays so well I want to play through the campaign again. Such a unique Halo game
I gotta say, seeing two odsts jump along to the tune of More Than His Share was magical
really enjoyed this one!!! the color problems you mentioned didn't really bother me very much. i didn't even notice the lighting bug on the weapons lol. I can't wait to see what cool mods we will get with ODST, I think modders can really go crazy with the big open new mombasa map! Definitely one of my favorites, we really need more ODST halo games!
Its so good to see all these old games getting the love they deserve. Even skins for a 19 year old game like halo CE for guns and visors is just amazig like this shows that people really care in this community and its so lovely 😢
ODST on Heroic with Famine on is beyond immersive. Frustrating at times, but really fucking immersive. You drop out of the pod with full ammo, but as time goes on you run shorter and shorter. Right before the data give mission, a bunch of brutes are guarding the entrance and I had to take them on with 2 plasma grenades, 20 rounds in a plasma rifle and I juggled between an assault rifle with 40 rounds and a brute shot with two. It took me an hour to get them. The brutes weren’t that bad, it was the two sniper jackals that I had no precision ammo to kill that kept getting me. You’re so squishy as an ODST, it really removes the power trip and makes you feel like you’re fighting for survival.
“If you enjoy the video, then please leave a like a comment” you know, I enjoy any video this man produces.
I really love your video! The words and the vocabulary are well choose and well use. The intonation and ponctuation are amazing! The video editing is on point with a nice halo reference (the black horizontal bar and pathetic title)! I find your opinion non bias. Your analysis are on point. They are really well thought and really well express! You put out more than excellent quality/content. It just amazing!
Thank you and have a nice day! :)
Just finished the campaign again after all these years. What a great game. It still holds up!
Gotta say for myself we are the desperate measures is my favourite track from ODST OST. Love that song and wish it was in the game more than one mission still this game was fun back in 2009 and its still fun in 2020.
I agree 100% that "More Than His Share" is the best track in ODST. I play Tayari Plaza more than any other mission specifically for the music, and I always take my time, even though I wouldn't say it's the most fun mission.
One of the best tracks in the entire Halo franchise.
Oh my god what’s the outro music called? I’ve never been able to find that exact song for years. It’s something nostalgic to me since an old flash game I played a long time ago used it.
great video brother! loved the breakdown and look forward to future vids!
@Late Night Gaming you gotta try boosting the Green in-game using reshade to try and even out the aggressive Red and Blue colors to give it the full RGB treatment.
I think the idea is to give the lighting a neon look a bright over the top saturation I love it's contrast against the dark night
Every time your intro plays I can only think of bababooey now
That AR view model change is both incredibly jarring and incredibly cool.
Was just thinking of this channel today. Perfect timing
ODST is one of the games that would seriously shine with a graphics mod and some ray tracing to make the rain at night stand out way more.
What's the music at the very end called?

I came up with a video idea for your "Evolution of" series. A evolution of the covenant. While is there is a mega ton of lore and stuff to talk about, I think a video on them would be amazing!
I absolutely love your videos keep it going man. These are the perfect videos for me to watch in bed and watch in the middle of the day thanks for the vids :)
Firefight matchmaking was the best part. Old ODST was invite only lobbys and made grinding out achievements super hard as you had to make friends on other games to see if they had ODST to play some round of firefight for.
U gotta remember that the graphic engine is 18 years old, shadow glitches will definately be glitched
You forgot to talk about Brute Plasma rifle being in Halo 3
Recently beat ODST on heroic with a bro. Great nostalgia. Would love more halo games like ODST. Or more halo games centered around marines/ODST. Actually more entries to the series exploring the established universe would be cool.
Your voice is so nice to hear. I love to see the new videos.
The shadows on guns aren't glitchy for me, running an RTX 2070 with the latest NVIDIA drivers.
Maybe that's a ReShade or using the NVIDIA control panel to force AF/AA?
What’s your refresh rate and can you record the exact stairs I was at? If you aren’t experiencing the issue then that’s actually helpful in figuring out what causes it
I heard the into song and all I could think was "bababouey, bababouey, bababouey, bababouey"
I bought ODST/Forza as a double-pack out of the bargain bin at a local game store some time around 2014-2016. I honestly played Forza more than I did Halo, even though I was an avid Halo fan, playing through CE-4, and Reach at the time. I don't know why I never played ODST, or what I was waiting for. But being able to experience a Halo game, totally fresh and new to me, on PC, is something Im glad I got to do.
Good to hear, I’ve been playing ODST on Xbox one and I was happy to play firefight again
Halo 3 ODST is one of my favorite games of all time, and is easily my favorite Halo game. It would earn that spot through soundtrack alone.
My only issue with mcc (aside from multiplayer) is the loading screen in between campaign missions, especially in ODST, they're supposed to transition to the next mission smoothly, and if I recall correctly this was done with a black screen that hided the loading while having the music finished it's bit, but in mcc, the music and visuals get abruptly cut off into a loading screen with a static image and different music, killing off whatever atmosphere the previous mission had built up.
I like the over the top color saturation. I think it gives it that overt noir vibe.
I really appreciate your Sunless Sea reference
Halo 3 ODST's update did bring a lot of things, and LNG forgot to talk about the Spartan Biped for Halo 3 customization. It's the exact same as ODST's but the shoulders are slightly messed up.
Interestingly, I haven't yet noticed the flickering when playing ODST. I might have just not paid attention to that bug.
I only played Halo 1 and 2 when they were new, way back in the day. With the MCC, I convinced a friend of mine (who hadn't played any Halo before at all) to join me for some coop campaign action. Re-playing Halo 1 and 2 was obviously not that exciting for me or him; the games were great in their day and still playable now, but they really show their age.
However.... We just finished Reach a few nights ago, and have started on ODST earlier tonight. And hot damn, we have been loving every minute of both. They really did a terrific job with these two.
I’m looking forward to what 343 will do with Halo 4 next season, because in my opinion it has some underrated Armor customization.
Plus there are missing armor sets from the original halo 4
Mombasa streets is DARK AF now...even with visor in the buildings.
Those pros and cons felt like a nice touch the way they brought firefight to pc no but good vid. Halo 3 ODST was exceptionally ported.
Something I noticed in challenges:
*Endure*
I can’t wait to see how CE and 2 are tuned up in the future! I’m really excited for Halo 4 as well, I feel like it’s going to look great on PC
I hope you try your reshading magic to add "raytracing" to the game. I saw a picture on the subreddit and would love to see more.
LNG! Thanks for another great video, keep up the good work and much love to you, bro!
Strong Reds and Blues are there to highlight areas of interest in a night setting
You're truly a connoisseur in your speech and choice of language to describe the game. I feel like I'm listening to an English teacher reading a poem about Halo 🙌😂
Q&A question for next week. Given the fact that halo 5s multiplayer and warzone is explained in universe as training Spartans for every conceivable situation they may encounter. Do you think it’s possible for a promotional event in the months leading up to Halo Infinite to feature banished enemy types including brutes and maybe a few added in weapons?
The fact that I can change my elite in halo 2 AV is amazing let’s hope they give us more.
its weird to me that the weapon shading glitch is still a thing, partially because i generally just have never seen it personally on pc
7:28 "In fact, the action music is STELLAR!"
- jump to two droppie bois literally bouncing along to the beat.
The use of the music in this game was phenomenal and I’m glad it’s back to be phenomenal again. I still like Destiny 1’s music more than anything out of O’Donnell (I hope I spelt that right) and Salvatori’s magic music book.
Halo 3 recon I remember the original trailer for odst was called Halo 3 recon. Still have it downloaded on my Xbox 360.
Minor correction. It was Halo 2 Anniversary that got its customization unlocked. Also they finally fixed the bugged Halo 2 elite texures in customization
Do you think there will be any added halo 2 content such as visors and weapon skins in the next season?
As for what we know now, Season 4 will be heavily focused on Halo 3 and Reach, i think the DLC armors from the OG Halo 4 will be there too, but nothing confirmed, as far as Halo 2 goes, no news on what will happen in Season 4.
If you're interested on a sneak peek to Season 4 look at this: www.halowaypoint.com/en-us/news/mcc-development-update-august-2020
it is mostly a Season 3 update, however you can find a sneak peek of Season 4 right below the H2A Armor customization image, and let me tell you it is exciting!
I really really really hope they are able to do a flood variation of Firefight for ODST.
I think the nighttime missions on top of the fact that ODST are squishier than Spartians would make a great survival horror experience. They could even buff the infection forms by making them do substantially more damage to you so it will truly show how scary the flood are when you and your teammates are ODST compared to how they were when you was the Master Chief in Halo 3.
I know it wouldn't be that much of a stretch to do ether since Halo 3 and ODST are on the same engine. They would just need to be able to make the spawns customizable like they was in Reach firefight and to buff the infection forms and there you have a flood survival mode where it will actually be kinda frightening.
