Soundtrack: The game also has a hauntingly beautiful jazz-infused soundtrack by Martin O'Donnell and Michael Salvatori. The music complements the game's atmospheric setting and enhances the emotional impact of the story.

Innovation in Gameplay: The game retained the core Halo gameplay mechanics while introducing elements like silenced weapons and a health system, which added tactical depth and variety to the gameplay.

Compelling Characters: The game introduces a cast of memorable characters, each with their own distinct personalities and backgrounds. The relationship between these characters adds depth to the story and engages players on an emotional level. Which comes from the cast being from Firefly so it sounds natural when conversations happen

Firefight Mode: "Halo 3: ODST" introduced the Firefight mode, which quickly became a fan favorite. It allowed players to team up with friends to survive wave after wave of increasingly challenging enemies, providing hours of cooperative gameplay. While maintaining that same vulnerable feeling.

to answer the question about Halo ODST and why it is my favorite i will have to break it apart for 100 character limit. additionally to put it in a bullet point answer without flooding my comment section.

Unique Perspective: Unlike other Halo games that primarily focus on the superhuman Spartan soldiers, ODST puts us in the boots of ordinary soldiers. This change in perspective offers a fresh and more vulnerable gameplay experience.

Atmospheric Storytelling: The game's narrative is told through a nonlinear structure, where we get to investigate a city after a devastating Covenant invasion that took place in Halo 2. The dark, rainy streets of New Mombasa create a moody and atmospheric setting, and we get to piece together the story through audio logs and environmental clues.

I may ask, what do you enjoy about Halo ODST that it has become your favorite?

good game sir
