Better late than never, as they say in the classics, we finally get around to properly reviewing Halo 3: ODST. At least at this point you know we've tested it completely. And while, just to reiterate, Master Chief is NOT in this game, it seems that he doesn't hold the monopoly on punching through tank armour.

For the campaign of Halo 3: ODST, players take control of the squad’s newest member: “The Rookie”. For contextual reasons unknown, although possibly due to some sort of hilarious military hazing ritual, Rookie never speaks or removes his helmet. He may also have to do the rest of the squad’s washing up and laundry, although the game doesn’t let you stay on your drop ship long enough to find out. The action takes place somewhere around the end of Halo 2 in the series’ chronology. The ODST squad is being deployed to take out the Prophet of Regret’s ship, which is hovering above the African mega-city of New Mombasa. The squad’s new commanding officer, a Naval Intelligence officer called Dare, has other plans however.
