I thought ODST was a bit overrated myself. It was fun enough, but i think instead of actually being a legitimate game, it acted more as a primer to get away from Master Chief as a protagonist. making room for other games like Reach, and the others im sure that will follow. My problem is that although it acts like its so much different than halo 2, 3, and so on, its really just the same game, remarketed. you still have shields, you still have all the same weapons, you might as well be a spartan. the game just is shaded darker, but that doesnt really matter since you use the visr for 90 percent of the game. I played it. I enjoyed it. But it certainly wasnt worth 60 dollars. maybe for 30 i wouldnt be peeved. the whole thing seemed a little underwhelming. Look at the intro, or lack of one. to tell you the truth, it could have just been a firefight DLC with newly skinned characters.
