  - It's not that I'm anti-campaign, I just don't care. -- nm - Reagen Nov 6, 09:21

  - And obviously Halo ODST tried to take a stab at fixing this, but there was something *squishy* about it that I didn't like. -- nm - Beryllium Nov 6, 08:53 3
    - ODST is the only one I have not finished. Hated it. -- nm - Spawnfall Nov 6, 08:57 2
      - yup, and I was none too pleased to find certain armor and helmets locked in Reach - groiny Nov 6, 08:58 1
        
        Yeah, that was crap. -- nm - Spawnfall Nov 6, 09:03
- I made this joke to a buddy of mine. He might as well just give me his campaign disc. -- nm - Shauntum of Solace Nov 6, 08:51
