This. I would like to see a set of new characters fighting on Jericho VII, although featuring the Rookie (more or less), who would actually talk a bit. The game could show why the Rookie doesn't talk much after the Battle of Jericho VII (Post Traumitc Stress Disorder maybe? Something like that). It would be cool if they implemented a basic squad command game mechanic, like utilising the d-pad to direct different members, as seen in Mass Effect.
I have more ideas! The game could be in some sense "episodic", each "episode" contained at least several missions. The first episode would be what I mentioned above. (The game would be a campaign only game).
The second episode would put you in the shoes of the Rookie, who is starting to talk a bit more. It would take place during the events of Halo 3, telling the continued story of the squad from the original ODST game. It would tell what else was happening during the timeline, from the perception of the ordinary soldier, and not Master Chief. It would be hard to make the second episode as dark as the first one though. Maybe one of the main characters dies or something, just to mix things up a little.
And Episode 3...After Halo 3? Would there be anything fight? Maybe the Covenant Remnant? This episode would conclude in such a way that would create anticipation for Halo 4. Maybe a UNSC ship receives the distress beacon signal from Forward Unto Dawn?
So are my ideas good or rubbish?
Maybe your ODST squad is the one who discovers the new threat for Halo 4? Or they find a floating object, which they later discover has the Master Chief and Cortana, which also leads to the Halo after Halo 3?
