My own first impressions after picking the game up last night :

It rocks. The plot right now seems like something that could be a Sci-Fi channel miniseries. I quickly learned during the game (playing on heroic) that I am no longer the Master Chief. I kind of feel like that is part of the point of ODST, to show just how vulnerable normal humans are in the war against the covenant. Your grenades don't go as far, you clutch even the smallest of weapons by both hands, and your melee attack is more like a fierce slap in the face.

The graphics are definitely enhanced from the original Halo 3. Walking through the streets at night really made me think that Bungie nailed the atmosphere they were going for.

I have not tried firefight mode yet, but I don't plan to until I'm done with the campaign. Anyway I'll update more as I keep going along.
