Synopsis (Wikipedia)
ODST takes place in the 26th century, when humans under the command of the United Nations Space Command (UNSC) are locked in a war with a theocratic alliance of alien races known as the Covenant. During the events of the 2004 video game Halo 2, the Covenant discover the location of Earth and launch an assault on the city of New Mombasa in Africa. Though the UNSC manages to repel most of the fleet, a large ship hovers over the city, depositing an invasion force. The ship eventually retreats via a slipspace jump, creating a massive shockwave. While the rest of Halo 2's storyline follows the ship to an ancient installation identical to the first Halo, ODST focuses on the aftermath of the shockwave, while the Covenant still occupy the city.
During the game the player can unlock audio files to an additional narrative called Sadie's Story, which tells the story of a civilian girl caught in the initial stages of the Covenant invasion and her quest to find her father. The tale can also provide useful information for the player during the game, such as helping to locate hidden caches.
The game's protagonist is the unnamed Rookie, a new member of the Orbital Drop Shock Troopers. Troopers, known as ODSTs or Helljumpers, often deploy in small, one-man Human Entry Vehicles (HEVs), launched from spaceships in the upper atmosphere. The Rookie is assisted in finding his teammates by Mombasa's city maintenance artificial intelligence, known as the Superintendent. The Rookie's teammates are Buck, Dutch, Romeo, Mickey, and Dare. The latter is a UNSC Office of Naval Intelligence (ONI) agent in charge of the squad's operation.
Campaign
The Halo 3 ODST Campaign was some what interesting since your not Master Chief, your ODST's. You got a list of some new weapons, new features , and a new Story Line. The Campaign was fun on some missions since you have some new things and new missions and some of the missions were a little hard while the other ones were just plain out easy. The hardest ones would of haven to beat the whole game on legendary, and since I was playing by myself it wasn't like Halo 2 or Halo 3 where I could pass through in a breeze, I actually got stuck on some parts especially since I didn't know everything that well and when I play a Halo Campaign I don't start out on Easy or Normal, I first try on Heroic and play through my first time and then I try on legendary so in that case I already know what to expect it on Legendary when I'm going through. The hardest part of the game for me would have to be on the Highway when trying to kill the drones on Legendary, those were a little hard for me xP.
When the game finishes it has some good audio and I liked it, so with the Campaign, it was nice! =]
Firefight
Firefight was a new mode to the Halo Franchise and in Halo 3 ODST, I didn't like it. All you had to do was just survive swarms of the Covenant with only a couple of lives and it just wasn't fun for me. I wouldn't mind playing it but if I actually wanted to play on my own time I probably wouldn't unless there was an Achievement involved. It could be fun as long as your playing on a good map. Without a good map then it's pretty boring. That's only my opinion though. You probably like it and that's pretty cool. I enjoy playing it but only in Reach where I could adjust the rules and settings.
Gameplay + Controls
The Gameplay in ODST is just like any other Halo Game on the Xbox 360 which is only Halo 3 or Halo: Reach currently, the only thing is that your jump height is a little different and the weapons are a little better like the SMG is very nice same with the Pistol where you could zoom. The Health is also changed up a bit, since you have to get some Medicine Packs on the wall. Other than those things things are pretty much the same, I think.. o.O
The Controls are pretty much the same as Halo 3 where you have the Bumper Jumper, Default, Green Thumb, etc. and not much has changed. Difference is that there isn't any equipment so you can't do the old Power Drain jump so instead of doing that, just go up to the wall and pick up a med pack because you'll probably need it. No, I'm not saying you would suck at the game just that you will probably be... Moving on now
Features
Halo 3 ODST Featured some really cool things like :
~ Halo Reach Beta (Discontinued May 2010)
~ Firefight Mode (In Reach it's better but ok for a start)
~ Bungie Favorites (Discontinued in June 2010)
~ Your Road to Recon (Which now almost everyone could get)
~ A Copy of Halo 3 Multiplayer Disc (Doesn't include Campaign)
~ 3 New Halo 3 Maps (Which are now on the Marketplace for 800 MSP?)
~ A Total of 2750 Achievement Points! [1750 - Halo 3 | 1000 - ODST] (Where you could easily Mod)
Those were some cool things right?
Rating : 9.5/10
ODST earned a well 9.5/10 because of the Awesome Features it has and it was an ok put game. Since it wasn't an actual game and it was an expansion to Halo 3 it got 9.5/10, on the other hand, if it was an alone game and a game how Halo: Reach or Halo 3 was I think it deserved a 6/10. That's Only mine hope you enjoyed the review and that's about it. This game would have been worth getting but only if you would have bought it earlier.

I agree, Halo is easily worth a shot. It is way less boring than the Cod series. Try it out bro.
