It has a good story, great immersive enviroment and it adds some believability to the Halo universe. The only thing I don't like is the unrealistic gameplay.

ODST added a kind of familiarity to the universe we can all recognise. A realistic city environment, complete with cars, buildings, adverts, it was clear remnants of what human life used to be like before the Covenant attacked. Very much like us. Plus Sadies Story is the first time a Halo story has focused on a civilian. Before this, we had a far fetched, fairly ridiculous, but fun, storyline. Master Chief prancing around the galaxy with his alien buddies visiting ancient alien ruins and saving the universe. ODST confirms that this is all happening in our world we can recognise.
The gameplay however is ridiculous. It also breaks immersion. An ODST, supposedly a vulnerable soldier, can beat down 9 foot tall brutes in 4-6 melees. They can also take a shot from a beam rifle to the chest, but turn out all right because their stamina recovered. And the fact they can leap right over a car.
The environment and story were deep, realistic and immersive, but the gameplay breaks this.
