Vengeance only leads to an ongoing cycle of hatred.

I say strangely beautiful because even it's war-torn state seems to compliment the beauty of the city. Just roaming around Mombasa Streets looking up at the sky and burning skyscrapers is ironically beautiful. Bungie definitely did a great job with the atmosphere and surroundings in ODST. It's something I have yet to experience in any other Halo game.

Nope, too focused on not dying. I could play on easy and have a look around though.

If you're just roaming around on Mombasa Streets, on any difficulty, there's not many encounters. Even when there is, it's only patrols that can be easily taken out.

Fear the Probulator. Looking at my stats I see, well go ahead.

The city is very nice.

I've been doing this lately. It's nice to just roam the city the way it is instead of enhancing it with the VISR. Not that the VISR's bad or anything. It's nice to keep it on sometimes.
