It's funny because ODST has the deepest and best-told story of all the Halo games.

It's well told, but I didn't like the storyline itself.

I thought ODST was very good, it just was too short and they didn't develop the widescale city combat. I know we had Mombassa as an open area but the actual levels themselves felt lacking in this regard in some instances.

This is true, but it was still a great game. If they had enough time (a full development cycle) then they could have made ODST even more open worldly.

ODST fixed a lot of things about H3. The carbine got a buff, the BR is gone (YES!), the pistol returned (the damage isn't that great but it is a really good pistol otherwise). And let's not forget the 4x zoom. Single shot weapons have been my all time favorite and this is one of the things that make me rank ODST above H3.

Of course, it made some minor changes that I disliked: no pet Jackals, Jackal snipers are even more nerfed by doing less damage, invincible friendly AI (at least we could swap weapons with them compared to Noble Team)

I also would have liked to seen marines with Reach's M6G and the standard SMG instead of marines spawning with silenced magnums and silenced SMGs. And there were no plasma rifles next to dead Elites. Both of these are minor but they break immersion from time to time.

Besides all that, the only problem with ODST has to be how short it was, how it could have been even greater, and how the hud gets blurry and stuff.

Also some of the friendly AI is unbelievably stupid, like Buck on Coastal Highway

And the lack of plasa rifles wasnt very good

And do you know what i hate the most? The ridicolous nerfing of the brute shot blade. The spiker and the mauler take your melee strength to spartan level, and the brute shot is WEAKER than the spiker. Its is pointless in ODST. 4 melees to kill a Brute Captain, 3 to kill a brute infantry, two to take down a jackal majors shield. Cmoare that to the spiker and mauler, 3 to kill a. Rte captain, two for the infantry and 1 for jackal shield.

The ONLY good thing about the brute shot is that it kills grunt spec ops in one melee, but that is it. It is so annoying how my second favourite weapon was been nerfed ridicolously, and also annoying how my favourite weapon, the plasma rifle is absent.

That's invincible allies for you.

I did not know about the Brute shot. In that case, that's a major disappointment.

I myself enjoyed the occasional bludgeon to the brute face in H3. Even so, ODST is just another example of a good game watered down because of time restraints. I have glitched the game into lighting up areas on the VISR normally...unlightable, proving that the game could have been expanded upon.

New Marathon? Thanks Bungie!

ODST is Staten's best work of art. It will be something I look back upon with joy. One of the best games out there. In my opinion, It's Mirror's Edge, From Dust, and ODST.

I was being pretty nostalgic when I posted that. There's nothing wrong with it. I just don't like using it. Picking off Grunts is great and all, but I would have liked to have single shot firing mode so I don't feel like I'm wasting bullets on Grunts.

Those who post hate on the forums really need a huge HUG and KISS because they are just so sad and upset, lol really get a grip because ODST is the only game you play as a regular human who isn't modified to a superior soldier to defend earth, remember its a story not real life.

That's fair. I can see how someone wouldn't like it, especially if you are used to the space opera idea of the other Halo games.

With the exception of Halo 1, which featured authentic Elites. I would have included Reach (due to the Elites being animalistic again) if it hadn't been so lousy in showing the human emotions (other than Jorge of course).

Anyways, how convenient that CE and ODST don't appeal to him. I myself enjoy the talking Elites of H2 and H3, but more so for amusement than something to be taken seriously (with the exception of Arby who I find alright at times).
