I thought ODST had a brilliant campaign. The mood was perfect, Mombasa streets were mind blowing, Sadie's story added a great feeling of exploration to the game. The firefight really had the feeling of fighting to survive. I loved this game.I wish there was a thank button. This is the perfect summary.

I think ODST is phenomenal and the most underrated Halo game. The story and music is deep and mysterious yet interesting. You want to find out what happened! Firefight is alot of fun as well. I'm used to playing it by myself though. Don't have any players to play with really.That fight with the Chieftain was epic ownage compared to the Reach cutscenes. What's so great about seeing a Spartan III punch or kill a Zealot? I can hardly relate to that. But taking down a monster who's much more bigger and stronger than you that you need the help of others to subdue it? Now there's something that I can enjoy watching again and again.
Halo has been about teamwork from the beginning. The marines were central to gameplay because without them, the level felt empty. Imagine the second level of Halo and all the survivors were dead and there was no inbound Pelican. How boring would it be to walk all the way to the next area or to fight all these Covies. But in CE, Chief was the leader and marines just followed. Now they take the lead and Chief has an entirely different role: babysitting, sniping, killing everything, etc. I mean look at the Scarab fights. The rockets and missiles and scorpion rounds didn't do anything to the Scarab. The marines looked a lot like annoying pests in Theater when I flew up real high so I could get a look. Then I come in and boom goes the Scarab.
I would have liked to see Hunters vs. Spartans in Reach. That would have brought back nostalgic moments from the Halo novels. This whole Spartan vs. Elite thing is overrated and poorly done in most cases (Halo Wars had a pretty decent fight).

I do wish their was some kind of matchmaking system though and maybe a 8 player multiplayer, two teams of 4 ODSTs against each other? Would of been pretty neat to have a multiplayer with the silenced weapons and stuff.The silenced weapons would have worked in mp but in campaign, they're just aesthetic, not really affecting the AI.
