That was the whole point of ODST, to show you how all the significant events in Halo affected people, and not just Spartans prancing around saving the day, but people we can relate to, with a job, a family, a normal living. It's the opposite way around, Sadies Story and ODST didn't have much affect on the main plot, but it was the main plot and events that affected them.
Also, it was vergil who discovered the Ark. This was made clear in both Sadies Story and the epilogue.
Erm okay.. civillians we can all relate to. Yep, no Spartans = real dynamic in storytelling, Yawn. Weak source. It's a bit obvious the main plot affects sadie story and the ODST story.
Vergil didn't discover the Ark, he simply knew where the covenant were heading since 343GS was with the Shadow of Intent, Humanity had no idea what the covenant were looking/doing on Earth. Vergil provided the intel. You could argue that this is significant. But the game doesn't really portray any of this. You have to dig to find this and it doesn't really add anything in storyline progression. If this was "made so clear in the epilogue and sadie story" why did you get it wrong?
As 343 says on The Ark in Halo 3, the Forerunners limited his and each monitor's knowledge on other forerunner installations, so any of the other Monitors and even Virgil obviously couldn't have known exactly where the Ark was.
The main plot affects everything in Halo. You haven't really done anything but state the obvious. You might as well have said: The whole point of ODST is to play as ODSTs. Therefore it's a unique perspective that can't be found in other games.
Well yeah.. no -blam!-.
I guess a lot of that was explained in the books. I havent read all of them.
I thought that it was Vergil, because Dr Endesha said that Vergil found something under the Data Centre, which is the Ark, and it's strongly implied that he told Johnson about it. So he may not have discovered it directly, but he discovered that the covenant were looking for the thing under the Data centre.
