<p>While being the conclusion to Bungie’s original trilogy, Halo 3 is really the conclusion to Halo 2. It serves to tie up 2’s cliffhanger and loose ends while itself being a complete package with a well-fitting conclusion that provides appropriate closure.</p>
<p>Being released relatively early into the 360’s lifespan, Halo 3 may not compare to the graphical fidelity that 360 games would later achieve, but it has a lot of charm and a distinct art style that more than makes up for it. The cutscenes of 3 expand on the direction of 2 and are animated in an almost cartoony nature that provide a wonderful sense of energy that cement them as my favourites of the series and perhaps my favourite part of Halo 3 altogether.</p>
<p>I can’t say it’s my favourite game in the series from a gameplay perspective, as it didn’t really add much to the experience other than deployable equipment and the gravity hammer. While I didn’t find myself using the equipment all that often, I did love the gravity hammer. A super powerful melee weapon that sends enemies into the stratosphere with ease. The lethality and power paired with its animations make it feel weighty and menacing. The game also excelled at continuing the story and did an admirable job broadening the in-game universe.</p>

<h2>Halo 3: ODST</h2>
<p>ODST follows the Orbital Drop Shock Troopers, a subset of the UNSC marines that drop in from the sky in specialised pods to aid in battle. This is the first game in which you don’t play as Master Chief at all. Instead, you take the reins of the Rookie, an ODST. This leads to the game being a captivating departure from the previous games in the series. You don’t get the armour or strength of a Spartan, and this shows in the gameplay.</p>

## Halo 3: ODST

ODST follows the Orbital Drop Shock Troopers, a subset of the UNSC marines that drop in from the sky in specialised pods to aid in battle. This is the first game in which you don't play as Master Chief at all. Instead, you take the reins of the Rookie, an ODST. This leads to the game being a captivating departure from the previous games in the series. You don't get the armour or strength of a Spartan, and this shows in the gameplay.
