By the power of truth, I, while living, have conquered the universe.

I agree. I did not like ODST either. I played through it about 6 months ago. I felt like it was just more of the same. Halo 1 and 2 were great (Didn't enjoy Halo 3 campaign either).
The first two Halos offered intriguing stories and innovative gameplay. I just see ODST as an extension of Halo 3, and I wasn't too enthused with Halo 3 to begin with. ODST is not bringing anything new to table gameplay wise. The most fun I had with that game is the first level where you drop from the ship in your drop pod and then you have to click the buttons to get out of the pod once it lands. I thought it would give a unique perspective to the halo universe, but it didn't. It's just more of the same. Even though I was just an average joe, I still played the game like I was a Spartan. Except now all the cool parts were taken away: no Cortana, no personality from the main character I was playing as, and no memorable story. I just remember tracking down my dead squad mates to see how they died. When I finally did see how they died, I could care less. I didn't feel any connections to the characters. Also, there was some bull-blam!- about the last two surviving people in your squad falling in love with each other.
Some other things I didn't care for were:
-Running around the the city just to get from one level to the next.
-No Elites to fight
-Brutes are boring to fight. The only time I enjoyed fighting Brutes was in Halo 2, when they weren't wearing that stupid armor
-Collecting health
-The new enemies: Engineers. I guess they're supposed to make combat harder, but I just don't think they fit in
-Firefight is not that great. I'd rather play infection on a custom halo 3 or reach map
I haven't played ODST in 6 months because it sucked. But maybe I will play through it again just to make sure it sucks as much as I think it does. I playing through all the halos right now on Lengendary. Maybe I'll get to ODST sometime next week...
Are you stupid? No one in the squad died, they are very much alive.
Don't worry, there are multiple parts to his post which show he doesn't have a clue on what he's talking about.
