Why is there math on the pie?
In my mind it was a close tie between ODST and CE, but in the end I'm going with ODST, and here's why:
CE had an entertaining, succinct and well-driven plot. For the first look into a universe, it had just enough context to give an understanding of a wider story happening around it, but still focused on the story at hand. In-game, I as a player felt motivated to get to the next objective to continue the plot, and not just to finish the level. In short, it was everything a game needed to be.
ODST, however, had all that and more. Story driven, just enough mystery and exposition, etc. etc., but honestly it was the only Halo game that actually had characters that I gave half a damn about and not only wanted to not die but also wanted to keep them around just to see them interacting with each other.
Tl;dr characters make a better story than "plot".
