Don't think so. Also people buying off store shelves will get the magazine in this slipcase...

[NickSCFC]

Yeah that'll be the subscriber issue as they only come with the EDGE logo and the artwork.

[Mr Chips]

I've now included the covers on the front page.

No I think the cover will be the same this month, because the store issue comes in that slipcase (its not the cover of the magazine, just a case the magazine is in).

[NickSCFC]

Hmm, I usually buy it in the shops, but I always see the same issue on eBay albeit with the subscriber cover.

I'm sure subscribers and retailers have had different covers for the past 5 months, regardless of whether they've come in slipcases.

Either way that's a terrible cover.

[HSH28]

E204 and E206 have had seperate subs and retail covers, other issues have had the same one.

Generally speaking on the first page it will show you the retail cover, seeing as this issue its the same I presume the retail cover is the same as the subs one.

The only issue with that, is that this issue the cover doesn't have any writing on it...but thats explained by the retail issue being in a slipcase.

[NickSCFC]

Poor artwork anyway, I tend to only keep the ones where I like the covers or there's enough features that I like to warrent keeping them for reference.

A 9 for ODST? The more cautious nature of the game does mean it has moved on from Halo 3 in terms of game mechanics but 4 hours + a rip-off of horde mode + Halo 3's multiplayer isnt worth £50. They should have marked it down severly for value. This gets a 9 and yet Metroid Trilogy: 3 of the greatest first person games of ALL TIME on one disk for £40 (which is over 80 hours of gaming) gets an 8.

[Poncho]

4 hours

No.

+ a rip-off of horde mode

No.

£50.

No.

Have you actually played the game at all? Or even know what you're talking about?

You've played through ODST then?

[Poncho]

He clearly hasn't because he doesn't even know what the price of the game is.

That and he thinks its 4 hours long.

[Dblock]

Halo ODST a 4 hour campaign gets a 9.

halo sux. this is outrage. edge are in bungie's pockets innit.

[Eighthours]

Halo ODST a 4 hour campaign gets a 9.

Clearly there's a "super-speed" mode I haven't found yet.

[Hero of Canton]

+ a rip-off of horde mode

No.

Well...it sort of is, isn't it? I seem to recall someone from Bungie essentially suggesting it might have been an inspiration for Firefight.

ODST's campaign only takes three hours on Easy. I imagine it might actually take me almost twice as long on Normal. So to play it on Heroic or above and complete it in four hours would take some kind of gaming deity.
