What's hot, sexy and purple?
Ayane (and the Wraith :-D)
What's so special about the ODSTs?
The ODSt you are playing can punch Brutes with two hits, can jump ridiculously high, rip off turrets, can board vehicles and is able to destroy the hatch of a Wraith tank with blank fists! Yes, you even have a rechargeable shield called "stamina". WTF? Yeah, I know it was made to keep this game a Halo game we all know, but it makes no sense and never wil be.
These guys are spartans, just in black armor. Nothing "human" or anything like that. It's not good or awesome, it's laughable.
The Gameplay
Putting firefight aside, ODST showed us that we can have fun without being a walking tank.
I guess you played another game. What I just described is exactly that what you do all the time in Story or Firefight. Killing countless enemies and of course, the war between humans and covis relies in your hands since you have to get that engineer. Ohhh yeah, what a nice story.....
It's the same stuff we did in Halo 1, 2 and 3. By reducing the story to a single planet in the universe, and not the universe itself, we still have the same clichee story from previous games.
Not to mention these dumb and totally misplaced romance between Buck and Dare. "heh let's throw in an idiotic romance bewteen the two maincharacters cauz the story sucks."
The detective story gameplay is also boring. The backtracking and level receycling is horrible! You play with the Rookie at night and later you are walking the same streets in a flashback. Oh yeah. That's so awesome seeing the same -blam!- over and over again. Oh, and "let's have ANOTHER Warthog race for the last level, like in Halo 1 and Halo 3 cauz we are running out of ideas".
For the rest of the game I can only say that ODST is not an Add-On. It cuts way too much stuff from previous games. Dual Wielding, missing weapons like BR or Sword, missing vehicles like the Prowler and Hornet etc. An Add-On should expand the expierence not taking FUN things out.
Only highlights are FF (in Halo 3 it would be much more fun) and the truely awesome soundtrack.
ODST is just bad. With Halo Reach, worst Halo titles ever made by Bungie. Nearly the whole community flamed this/both game(s)...for some good reasons.
