Just starting Halo (Halo 3 Vs. ODST)

Hey guys, I've had a 360 for almost a year now and I've never touched a Halo game... Next time I got some extra cash I'm actually going to pick one up.

So, should I get Halo 3 or ODST? Halo 3 has a better score on Gamespot but ODST looks 'cooler' from the trailers.

I thought ODST had a better singleplayer, but it was a bit shorter.

I liked Halo 3's singleplayer better. thought there was more variety in locations, biger better set pieces. the gameplay was better too (dual wielding, equipment, more vehicle segments and mission variety). also, Halo 3's campaign was longer.

EDIT: just elaborated on why I preferred Halo 3

Honestly I would avoid both if your getting them for single player only. Halo games have some pretty bland and genaric single player gameplay.

I realise this, but the OP says he wants it for single player more then the multiplayer.

The multiplayer is awesome, and if you are going to play it you should buy ODST for the map packs.

too many threads like this lol.

There is no question. Get ODST. It has the only Halo campaign besides Halo:CE (in my opinion) that is fun at all, and it includes the complete Halo 3 multiplayer, with all the maps. You will enjoy the campaign, but then you will be HOOKED by the multiplayer!
