Bare with me here, I mean thematically.
Jesus as a Man or an idea or a theme has been prevalent all through out the Halo stories, both in the games and in books.
The Master Chief fulfills a ship-load of Jesus euphemisms. The Arbiter, Johnson and the Prophets also. I won't immediately describe how they do, unless specifically asked. No one person is assigned to His likeness, but He is prevalent none-the-less throughout.
I suppose I can elaborate on the Chief before specifically talking about the ODST reference, just so I don't go way too ahead of myself...
A while a back (try a few years) I posted a thread about how the Chief is thematically like Jesus Christ.
His time on Earth was short, making one of His first stops in Egypt/[Cairo!]
He left suddenly, descended to the Grave and in doing so destroyed Regret.
Following the voice of Truth, He walked the streets of the Covenant Holy City.
At His second coming to Earth He defeated the Grave and the last False Prophet and Saved mankind.
If you want me to discuss how the other characters or events or ideas foot the Holy bill, ask and I'll elaborated. But on to the ODST aspect. Don't blink, it's real quick.
According to the Apostle's Creed:
Jesus Christ [...] was as crucified, dead, and buried;
He descended into Hell.
I think it's so cool that Bungie came up with the idea for ODST's, especially since they put so much effort into creating Scripturally based allegorical themes and characters.
Some Christian sects believe that in order for Christ to fulfill the sin-penalty on our behalf, He'd not only have to die for our sins, but go to Hell (temporarily) for them. Not all Christians believe this, but a lot do, hence the Creed.
"Feet first in to Hell"
"We are dropping into Hell, troopers!"
"He descended into Hell."

About the Creed... He may have quoted part of it, but thats only the half truth. It may decieve others from the full truth of the creed. Click on that link that he posted and read the rest, the most important part: he rose agian! Here i have quoted it if you dont need to usethe link.

The Apostles' Creed
I believe in God, the Father Almighty,
the Maker of heaven and earth,
and in Jesus Christ, His only Son, our Lord:
Who was conceived by the Holy Ghost,
born of the virgin Mary,
suffered under Pontius Pilate,
was crucified, dead, and buried;
He descended into hell. [See Calvin]
The third day He arose again from the dead;
He ascended into heaven,
and sitteth on the right hand of God the Father Almighty;
from thence he shall come to judge the quick and the dead.
I believe in the Holy Ghost;
the holy catholic church;
the communion of saints;
the forgiveness of sins;
the resurrection of the body;
and the life everlasting.
Amen.

It's is very dangerous to create such sensitive religious topics. You may end up decieving others and leading them astray. Please, Just stick to the Holy Bible, the truth and keep you own,sensitive thoughts to thyself. Don't become mislead by others. Thanks for reading! - IHaIRdICoIRe
