I' an' I been battlin' dem Covenent demon' for at least 2 hours overall now and I gotta say, the change in atmosphere and mood in this one is pretty remarkable. I don't want to go into to much detail as I'm going to be saving it for my awesome-packed review coming some time this millenium but for those of you who want to run around in badass futuristic plate-mail armor weilding a wicked arsenal of human and alien guns WHILE still feeling an actual sense of DANGER, ODST is for you. For those of you looking for a more in depth and personal Halo story wrapped in mystery, death, and lust, ODST is for you. For those of you who love bashing those god damned shrieking little Covenant Cabbage Patch Kids with the butt of your rifle, I cannot stress this enough, ODST, is most DEFINITELY, for you.
