ODST Impressions?

Haven't had a whole lot of time to play Bungie's latest, but the time I have has been interesting.

The campaign is really different than the Halo I'm use to.  For the first time in a Halo game I'm conserving ammo, taking cover and am actually being drawn into the story (lol).

The only dig on the game I have so far is that the first half hour or so I had trouble figuring out where to go/what to do.  It's kind of dark and the direction isn't clear. Also the cinimatic when you load up the game absolutely sucks.  It's like they used Windows Movie Maker and some effects to intro you to the Halo world.  Psh. 
  
But after getting initially acquinted with the look and feel of ODST, it's been nothing but fun. The story is fantastic and music already impressing...

What are you impressions of ODST campaign and Firefight?

If you just picked up the soundtrack you may think ODST is a 30's detective movie...That's how different the music is in the game...so far.  Really engaging stuff.  

To me, ODST gameplay is Halo in a new skin. But the Music, story, and how they tell the story (you play through what happened to your friends randomly as you make your way tbrough the city) is a whole new kind of Halo altogether.

I'm really happy with the game so far and not because there's "Halo" in the title...

How bout you?  I haven't tried Firefight yet but loaded up one of the maps and it was beautiful.
