I never really felt the urgency of this squad’s mission and I struggled to connect with what was probably intended to be its emotional core. It’s just the tale told and the events throughout are pretty…well, ordinary. Its got a star-studded cast led by Nathan Fillion and Tricia Helfer and the production was the best of its best at the time (and still looks solid today). It’s not that ODST is bad, quite the contrary. I can think of a few set pieces across Halo and Halo 2 that stood out for me – the pillar of autumn finale, Installation 05, the battle on High Charity – and yet, there’s not much that really lingers in my mind from ODST. Those moments make the experience and cement them in your mind. Think about your favourite games and your favourite moments from these games. I’ve just got done with a play through of the campaign and I’m struggling to find a set piece or a moment that really stood out for me.

IIRC he was a big fan and first got in on it personally, rather than a role that was landed. He also did a bunch of marine voices in Halo 3. It can soar for the big emotional beats when it comes to capturing the action and then there’s this moody jazzy number. How does Halo 3: ODST have celebrity Nathan Fillion voice Buck and even make Bucks face exactly like his and not make a big deal about it. Martin O’Donnell’s score is just amazing. But the experience for me is a mixed bag of lollies. Even the bombastic musical score from the main series is gone, being replaced with a softer melancholic sound.īungie’s ODST is unique for existing within the universe of Halo (It takes place during Halo 2) and being something quite different than what, at that point, audiences have seen. Here is a game that is far different than its siblings, the main series, and which sets out to tell a far different story – almost sort of a film noir story, a mystery with shady characters and backgrounds. I look at Halo 3: ODST with a sort of curiosity.
