343i can't win either way. I haven't picked this up yet, but definitely will for the SP alone. Currently, I still need to finish Halo Wars of my backlog. I wish they would release a Game of the Year edition that would include the other ports they are working on.

First Halo 3: ODST screengrab of the Halo The Master Chief Collection version running on Xbox One. Halo: ODST is the only game of the Halo series I didn't play to date.

Are we talking ODST in particular or Halo in general? Things started getting a bit less fantastical in that era, but Halo's human weapons have never been all that exotic. Mostly it's just a lack of sights and an aim for very clean silhouettes that led to geometrically-distinct and interesting designs.
Halo close-quarters automatic weapons tend to have large spread patterns. The reticle should be huge.

Yeah that's a part of the Halo fiction that has always puzzled me... The UNSC spent an incredible amount of money, effort and manpower on developing supersoldiers and made them nearly invincible with the armor, and then they equipped them with standard weapons. The only thing that bungie added, quite late into the games, was the Spartan Laser, and even that could have been easily used by ODSTs; then 343 also added the Gauss gun, but that's it. Halo 5 should really come up with some better weaponry for the Spartans.
ODST was such an oddball game. I'm one who rather liked it. I remember at the time it released just this storm of "ITS ONLY SIX HOURS IT SUCKS ITS THE WORST GAME EVER SIX HOURS SIX HOURS".
It's literally Halo as 40's film noir. I mean what the heck? Who would dream up that mashup? And (imo) it actually works.

The music was great. The set pieces were nice (the actual levels, except.. maybe the one in the underground/caves). The ending tank/hog/mongoose rockets section was pretty cool in a couple sections (carrier glassing the city or seeing the scarabs walk around), but if ODST had actual side-quests like a typical open-world, maybe it could have been less boring to tread around. The random AI encounters got old after a while. Plus those damn insects.
Take those random encounters in Reach/New Alexandria for example, but all the humans are dead or gone already for all of the Rookie sections. There was maybe that one part where you see the brute torturing the engineer, but... eh.
Plus no elite vs brutes encounters.
There's potential if they were to build upon that with a good budget.

Halo TMCC tournament cancelled because the online of the game is still broken...sigh. Players wanted to play the official Halo eSports league, the so called Halo Championship Series, but they couldn't.

Well on the plus side ODST is coming for free to owners of Halo: MCC.
http://www.engadget.com/2015/04/22/halo3-odst-on-xbox-one/
No new graphics, just resolution increase and 60 FPS. One of the multiplayer maps will get revamped though.

Not free to all owners of Halo: MCC...

So it looks like owners after 12.19.14 will have to pay for it. I've checked blog posts since this & they haven't changed their original announcement. Now, they could between now & the update, but they haven't indicated they will.

Ugh, no Firefight mode?

And damn, on the qualifications for getting ODST free.

Unlucky at gambling lucky in love... that's just me. LOL I am eligible to get Halo ODST for free.
Maybe they will include it as a paid DLC later, especially to compensate for those that are going to get the game for free.
dunno if you feel like playing Halo games once again but I have unfulfilled obligations with Halo 2, and now at 60 fps I might be capable of achieving that..
By unfulfilled obligations I mean that I completed the game several times -it was my 1st game in my 1st console-, but never on Legendary without having to decrease the difficulty to Heroic in the hangar part.
