Replayed this one with a buddy experiencing this for the first time, and he told me ODST was a phenomenal game until the last hour and I honestly agreed. Even on my first playthrough I thought the ending was abrupt and lacked impact, and Costal Highway is really not that good of a final mission. Doesn't help that MCC is completely missing the credits after campaigns, making this issue even worse when we were just immediately sent back to the main menu after the ending cutscene.
Despite that everything that comes before is incredible. Finding the clues of your lost squad members and seeing how they tie into the mission that you play as each of them is such a creative way to tell the story of this game. Although, it felt like the health system in this game, which I imagine the intention was to make the player feel weaker because you're not a spartan, actually felt like you could tank more hits before dying as Chief. Though perhaps it was because I was playing co-op. Or cuz I'm just too good at quickscoping covenant scrubs. #Pwned
