Me and a friend were going to play some Halo 2 today, but i forgot about my fucked about SD card, so i had to download the entire game again. ODST finished first, and i decided to just mess around in it since i've already beaten it and i was short on time today and wanted to play something. This was a lovely mugshot i took of a enemy that got stuck.

My screenshots were acting funky today and the timestamps were all off and then for some reason some screenshots didnt save. I only walked away with two really worth sharing, because of that. I think most of my screenshots i picked today were new ones, but i took so many i can't be sure, i know for a fact the Main one i picked is new though.

this was a picture of a picture of a antelope i took on the Zoo level. idk why but something about it in a Halo game stood out to me. I also have suspicions that this may not be a new screenshot, but was missed in. But i really like this one so i left it in.

I really like ODST's vibe. Master Chief is fun, (and i'm not fully in on the Halo lore so i may be wrong about this) but playing as the rookie and not Master Chief in the Spartan suit feels fun and more commando. I'm a sucker for everyday characters.

I stopped play Halo when the 3rd came out. How well does this hold up today? I was always curious about it but it felt more MP focused.

I played through them all a couple of years ago. They hold up great in my opinion, and 2 got a great remaster, so the graphics are solid. If you are talking about ODST specifically, then I'll say it's one of my favorites. It has a totally different feel to it that helps to flesh out the game universe a lot, and being so damn squishy makes the gameplay a lot different. There's a sort of noir vibe to it too, so it definitely stands apart from the other games.

I’m playing the MCC Collection in order rn (it’s my first experience with Halo in general). I haven’t touched the story for 4 or Reach, but the MP for 4 felt very COD-ish compared to the first three. I’ll have to check back in with you on the story with 4/Reach when I get to those though
