The gravest sin though is that for a game that's all about the Helljumpers, there's very little actual ODST stuff in it. You get a really cool cutscene in the first five minutes of the game and it's never fucking brought up again. The fucking one ODST mission from Halo 2 did it more justice. It was a massive missed opportunity for introducing new gameplay mechanics. Imagine if they added insertion by drop pod as a feature in PVP multiplayer or even regular campaign and you could actually choose where you landed on the map and even crush unsuspecting opponents to death by landing on their heads.
