Obviously everyone has already explained why, but seriously, their engine couldn't handle rain?? I find this fascinating and appalling at the same time.
Can you imagine how tense some of the patrols/battles would've been if you had a scenario like Hard Rain in L4D2? Even Oblivion could handle rain/wind. Just sad.
And yes I realize you can see they tried with those extremely hard to see faint droplets barely coming down, but they could've done a lot more with the rain sound (you can barely hear it) a long with the thunder (I'm assuming it's supposed to be distant/far off) and perhaps even lightning (Can you see yourself getting blinded every now and then when in VISR mode during a battle?) Talk about adding to the dank/abandoned creepy atmosphere.
Oh well...They had never planned to have rain in Halo, so there was no easy way to add it, not in the amount of time that ODST was made. If they had taken another couple months, they may have done it, but they had a deadline.
