I dont know why but i liked ODST
The campaign, although short, i found engaging, fun and slightly challenging.
Firefight was awesome apart from the fact it had no matchmaking.
All the extras like audiologs made the game fun to explore.

For a game that was first intended to be a downloadable add-on to Halo 3 it was awesome in every way :)

Think before you post

I think hes taliking about the weapon caches in the campaign, you can unlock these secret mongoose, rocket, and sniper rooms by finding audio logs
Ups: holding turrets you go sooo much faster, you can ride tank treads, nightvision, pistol and smg
Downs: cant drop in drop pod when respawned in ff, cant hijack wraiths (easily), cant steal phantom yourself

Recon armor was not gifted or bestowed upon me. I earned it through blood, sweat, and tears. Road to Recon complete, on to the next challenge. Halo 3: 1750/1750, ODST: 1000/1000, Reach: 1400/1400.

Lack of matchmaking and the champaign save system. Grinding for the achievements is also a pain. Other than that I think its a great game. Takes a bit getting used to is all.

I have to say though, ODST has the best Warthog handling and controls out of any Halo game.

Good: Pistol, night vision, campaign gameplay (stealthier than the previous games, which is nice because it adds variety), firefight

Bad: No versus

Pros
Silenced SMG and Pistol, both with scope.
Interesting campaign.
The drop pod at the very beginning of the game.
The music.
Exploring the city on a mongoose.
Firefight

Cons
No multiplayer matchmaking (Would've loved some ODST vs ODST CTF)
Campaign was short.
No customizable ODSTs. Had to stick with a certain chracter and choose whether or not to wear a helmet.
