I disagree with a lot of you guys. Halo is definitely a quality franchise. It's a different type of FPS than most games in the genre in that it is basically a series of set-pieces where battles take place. It's not very story driven (wasn't a fan of the story myself), the music is kind of Michael Bay-movie-ish, and about half of the enemies are ridiculous looking, but beyond these relatively minor faults, there is a very good game and the multi-player is excellent, as long as you like the game itself.
Actually, I think the hate for Halo is closer to "other people are doing it so I should too" than the love for it, because objectively it's a good game.
As for the topic, I'm probably going to rent ODST because I don't play a lot of online gaming other than NHL and 6 hours for a main story isn't worth that kind of money.
