From what I can see, the gameplay just seems more fun than Halo 3. I mean, in Halo 3 there were plenty of weapons on the ground that you would just skim over because they sucked. In ODST, they got rid of the BR (and I really hope the AR) because your starting weapons were so good. That's a win. Also, power weapons will probably be harder to find. ODST just has that whole "I'm not an invincible supersoldier, I must pick my battles" vibe. Unlike Halo 3's campaign, I actually expect ODST to be a challenge. Plus, the open-world roaming design seems like it'll be a great improvement to Bungie's previous linear levels.
Overall, ODST's campaign will simply be a better experience, because of what was added and subtracted from the formula. It's much more realistic and intense, and feels less like a game of getting from point A to point B and more like a stealth/action game.
An AR is shown in the Campaign demo in Dutch's flashback, a marine has one. However, I think they'll be much more rare in this game.
