It wasn't really a halo game, that's why I hate it. Halo is known for you playing as this powerful frog that can jump forty feet in the air, and it gave you numerous customization options.
ODST puts you into the boots of a weak ass solider and gives you the choice of an emblem, and a preset character. It introduced no new mechanics other than firefight, and the night vision, which didn't even carry over to reach.
Plain and simple, it's a good game; it's a terrible HALO game.
Um seriously? Nightvision carried over.
Halo 2 introduced dual wield and rifles, Halo 3 introduced equipment, ODST introduced Firefight and nightvision.
This is a Halo game. It's simply not a game about MC.
As a side note:
ODSTs are badass dudes. They are the best thing the UNSC has besides Johnson and the Spartans. At this point in the story the ODSTs are the very best soldiers the UNSC can put on the line to fight. 117 is MIA, Cortana is gone, Sgt Johnson is busy. You are just one man tasked to hold back a Covenant invasion with a handful of mates. You don't even get a damn Battle Rifle, you get an SMG and a Magnum and are being asked to save the world. That's what makes this game my favorite campaign in the series. It shows just how desperate mankind is, how impossible the odds are against you.
