ok, spartans are around 6-8 foot tall,this makes savage brutes/elites the same size as you and therefore not intimidating

if you actually look up close to a grunt/jackal you will see that with the correct lighting they could easily intimidate a person, but again,the "teeming hordes of invincible alien monsters" isnt realy seen cause they are about half a Spartans size. and hunters look like teddy bears

and then there is the plasma, if you played as a marine you would see huge glowing fireballs of different colors flying at you raining instant death to any of your squad it hits
but then your a spartan and the puny matches they throw at you are absorbed into your shields and unless there are two swords on your shield you can stand still all you want, you dont connect to any of your marines and you can sell your suit on ebay for the price of a house

my point is that the game will be much deeper if you played a marine,

lol spelling mistake in title

id also like a lot of gore in the game, many weapons are toned down such as the energy sword and the fuel-rod

what would suck you realy in is if you were a medic,but that would probably give the game an 18

Because Muslims surgically implant organic bombs in their testicles, which in turn will be injected into women during sex, which will grow into BABY BOMBS!

Playing as an ODST was pretty damn boring for me to be honest. Halo 3 ODST was not "deeper" at all. I didn't feel any connection with the characters at all.
Spartans are much better :D

How in hell can a Brute or an Elite be intimidating? I mean, angry apes in space and Alien like creatures with bright color can't be intimidating, no matter how small you are.

The story in the Halo games has always been mediocre anyway.

I'm all for Halo going gritty as long as it doesn't become a corridor shooter.

there was no difference between a spartan and odst in odst, and i think bungie was just trying to fulfill its contract

but a marine is weak and you can almost relate to them
a spartan is a war machine
