And eh, CE was duller than ODST. In CE, you're a virtual god with the weapons at your disposal...But that's what makes it fun! D: You prefer Halo 2/3/Reach, where your character has to use cover every 5 seconds of getting shot? That's 20x more lame. Have you even considered limiting yourself (using only the plasma rifle, using only melee, using only grenades, fighting against vehicles on foot)?! Was nearly impossible in those games on Legendary but it's certainly viable in CE.

...its gameplay resonates so successfully with the narrative flow. Not that ODST is bad in that regard, but it's competing with a game that nails it perfectly.This.
Of course, ODST's encounters were considerably harder than Halo 3: smarter Chieftains who did not waste their Invincibility, 2 Hunter variants, Jackals using needler, much more enemies. Kikowani Station was absolutely hell to me, even at mission start. It was very engaging.
The only reason why it's looked down on is that the sandbox was actually useful and powerful enemies (Jackal snipers, berserking Brutes) were nerfed for balancing. ODST is next to CE in fairness and fun. Silenced M6C and SMG are great starting weapons!!
