It's very different. You made the basic statement, they are both survival mode, but.
1. ODST has greater variety of enemies, weapons, environments, etc.
2. ODSTs respawn
3. I enjoy Halo 3's playstyle more
4. The Halo 3 AI is a lot smarter (Don't give me BS about the AI director, it's just some system to randomly dump zombies)
1. Actually ODST has only 8 environments that we've even heard of (somewhere around there thats not an exact statement) through only LEAKED things that we're not even sure are real, and L4D has almost 20 different environments.
2. The halo 3 AI is basically the same, as all it does is randomly bring in phantoms with random dumps that drop RANDOM AI, that can find you just as easily as L4D's.
3. L4D has a more complex sort of respawn where if everyone dies it auto-resets rather than completely exiting the game.
4. I'm not saying I like either game better, as I like games produced by Valve and Bungie pretty much equally (although I prefer PC gaming over console gaming, there's a LOT fewer "Squeakers".)
