Halo 3: ODST's creative director Joseph Staten has cited the game's development as being "frustrating", due in part to its "expansion pack" origins.

A new teaser in a Helldivers 2 Xbox launch trailer seems to suggest that a crossover with Halo 3: ODST is on the way.

Alvios Games discusses the titles that inspired Vellum, including Halo 3: ODST, Mass Effect 3, Hades, and Slay the Spire.

With its smooth jazz and iconic New Mombasa streets, we need Xbox's next Halo game to return to the remarkable world of Halo 3: ODST.
From everything i read in that article it makes me think that ODST should have stayed a expansion to Halo 3, same thing with firefight, than been a standalone game.
Not exactly the best arguments there i think...
Oh well, time to move on I guess. ODST wasn't horrible by no means, but it wasn't exactly a complete package. Just a solid game. I'm a fan so I had to get the game, plus it includes Halo Reach beta too. Halo Reach will be much better.
so they thought about firefight before gear's horde mode
intresting
As much as I liked ODST... the game did hurt the Halo franchise when they priced it as a full game.
I'm sure many of the casual folk out there might think twice of buying another Halo game a year later after the disappointment that ODST was....
why didnt they release it as an expansion pac than....just what they say and what they did dont make sense.
this was the only Halo game I outright refused to purchase
