Every time I play against the Captain Cutter AI, whenever he gets ODST’s, I have to end the game. He just spams them endlessly and without remorse, and a disruption bomb doesn’t stop him.
Either they eventually overrun my defenses, or I spend at least ten minutes fighting wave after wave of ODSTs.
So he doesn’t ignore it, but is rather working around it, hm?

It seems the AI gets to pay less and less for units and buildings on the higher difficulties. I suspect at a point, everything is free for the AI. You’re actually lucky to see ODST, as in my case, every UNSC AI will throw ridiculous amounts of Marines and Flamers at me right away. You can only try to eliminate an UNSC AI right in the beginning with your leader and special units. If you succeed, you have a CHANCE at winning, if you survive the counter-attack. If it fails, you better quit.
Fighting the AI at higher levels is not fun.
=(
I stopped playing the AI years ago when they garrisoned the mega turret on Tundra and fired it machine gun style at me for over a minute until I could flank and kill them out of it.
That weapon is supposed to have a 100 second cool-down period, but the AI fired it about 6 times in that 100 second period!
Now whenever I want to try a new strat or build order I just do it online. At least people online fight fair
