Terrible way of bungie studios to force people to have to buy this game in order to get the new maps that will be free to everyone in a few months. DO NOT GET THIS GAME! You can just download it and have a friend burn it for you or find free copies from kids anywhere you look, complete and utter waste of money for a 3 hour campaign and more badly rushed maps made by money driven inadequate gamers.

This is a terribly overpriced dismal failure of a game. This is an overrated and overhyped expansion pack. Nothing more.
Problems:
No new weapons in multiplayer
No new vehicles in multiplayer
No new anything in multiplayer
3 new multiplayer maps that will be free in 2 to 3 months or at least offered for sale on Xbox live at that time for $15.00
All the previous Halo 3 Multiplayer maps which isn’t that helpful if you are like me and have already purchased all of them.
Visor on the playable character in the campaign that obscures your vision.
Dark (entirely too dark) levels in the campaign.
Short campaign – about 5 hours on Legendary.
The ODST character dies about every 4 seconds when an enemy looks at him funny.
The AI enemy characters are consistently stupid, oftentimes running into walls while driving vehicles.
Night vision on your goggles puts an annoying outline on everything. This I believe is an attempt to hide the fact that bungie did nothing to improve the graphics in this game over Halo 3. Additionally they didn’t do enough work on the design of enemies. Everything either looks too dark, or has an outline with the middle completely dark, or is ultra shiny. The Supervisor guy is hard to navigate while in menus and I found myself stuck more than a couple of times, just trying to get my visor to be clear again. Save yourself some money and don’t buy this game!
Good Stuff about the game:
The cover art on the box is nice.
They marketed the game well.

Everything with this game is wrong. This is one tiny and terrible, extremely overpriced expansion pack. They claimed it was going to “new” gameplay, where you sneak around. Barely! It’s exactly the same engine as Halo 3, and the sneak detection is the exact same – how lame!!!
And for being like Halo 3, it falls WAY short. You have a couple crappy new weapons that aren’t very powerful. LAME.
The details are all wrong. For example, the stupid game starts playing elevator music when you’re in the middle of a firefight with enemies? What the hell? This is sooooo wrong. There is no intensity, no drama. It’s just walking through an EXTREMELY poorly designed city, shooting the same old enemies, with much crappier gameplay.
Worse Halo game ever. This was just an attempt to pull in some extra revenue with a quickly produced, crappy third party expansion. I could see this being offered for free and developed by some fans, but by the actual Halo producers & Bungie & Microsoft? Absolutely horrible and insulting product. It brings shame to the Halo franchise.
