Halo 3: ODST also known as Halo 3:Recon, is a first person shooter developed by Bungie and published by Microsoft. The game goes away from the familiar setting of the Halo series, as players are introduced to a new character and a new setting.

Alas, it may happen that many players will be left wondering if the game is just a rather long, linear mission (as objectives require players to investigate similar settings in a sort of open world environment), or a complete campaign. In conclusion, Halo:ODST feels more of a game that serves the purpose of introducing players into an unfamiliar setting, to which they will be more accustomed with the arrival of Halo Reach. The introduction of the new Firefight mode is a plus, but once again feels incomplete and lacks depth, all of the things halo ODST lacks, are introduced later in Halo Reach.
