Halo 3: ODST is in my opinion the best Halo game out of the five. It features a new campaign in a different setting and it lets you play as an ODST instead of a Spartan. It features new weapons such as the Silenced SMG and the new Automatic MAG pistol. The game also brings back the Brute Plasma Riffle which is stronger than the Elite version. Only many people such as me were some what disapointed that the Battle Riffle was not in the game. Also it is set betweent the slip space jump from New Mombasa in Halo 2 to the begining of Halo 3, so there should be Elites in there right? Well that was the other thing I found bad about ODST...the only Elites it featured were dead ones. Other than that this was an awsome game!
What's great about it: The new campaign and hero
What's not so great: They took out the Battle Riffle and there is no Elites
