ODSTs problem is that it failed to deliver what it promised, a fragile hero who couldn't simply "tank" everything.
The thing Bungie didn't seem to realise was (or lied about was) that IS Master Chief, on Halo 2 you couldn't take on one elite or brute 1v1 without dying, on ODST you can run into a whole pack of Brutes and survive.
In Halo 2/3, a sniping jackal kills MC in 1 hit in the toe, A sniper only depletes an ODST's (rechargeable) stamina with a headshot. Both on Legendary. Who's the invincible supersoldier? Not to mention the fact that there are free health packs lying around that instantly refill your stamina (effectively shields) MC didn't have such luxuries.
I was really looking forward to a more cautious approach to Halo, a stealthy aspect. What I was given was a true super soldier, who could bear far more damage than the Chief, not to mention their turret running abilities >.>
