I was told by my good friend loky that i am a stupid little fanboy because I didn't like Halo 3 onwards. In truth, they have a very different feel to the first two, not just graphics wise (although it goes too much into hyper-realism, as opposed to the slightly odd sci-fi look the previous games have), but mostly its because they're Console only, and so are unfamiliar to Halo PC gamers. The fact that, with a notable few exceptions, FPS genre games should never have been on consoles in the first place. the auto aim thing makes it too easy/ too hard with it off, and the unresponsiveness of the controller makes it too difficult. Back onto the subject of ODST, I have played it through to the end, and my opinion is that, if you are supposed to be a marine, then judging by their performance in the other games (except johnson, of course) then you should not be able to beat a brute in Close Quarters fighting, even on easy. the VISR thing feels unnatural and unpolished, and to those who argue in favour of the map, i say that half the fun of the other games was working out for yourself were to go next, wth the help of the odd waypoint. If i had to rate it, i'd give it 5/10
