Yes,are the ODST guys stronger(strong enoughto wear those black/grey armor?) than the regular marines or will they just simple be wearing better armor?

I think they would be.

With B.B. gone, the passion of Bungie.net has lessened.

I wouldn't say they are going to be stronger. They'll probably just have a slightly higher amount of hitpoints than normal Marines, and they'll have better AI.

Just like AI goes from worst to best with Covenant ranks, the same will be for Marines and ODSTs.

Ex: Covenant: Grunt (worst)--> Jackal--> Elite
Human: Marine--> ODST--> Spartan (I'm asuming that we'll be able to fight side-by-side with the remaining spartans in Halo 2).

ODST are badass covie killers. They can handle the heavy stuff.

I don't think you'll get to fight alongside other Spartans, possibly meet them in a ingame scene or whatever.

The AI would have to be great to be worth doing. Wouldn't it be a terrible sight to replace the Marines in Halo with Spartans. Acting.. well, pretty whacky at times.

I think you should meet up with the other survivors. At least it would justify co-op.

That idea was great Leper Messiah! I really hope that Bungie will include this,first of all cool things,and the survivors would be Fred,Linda and Kelly,perfect for co-op splitscreen,link and Live action.

why not meet with the other spartains? that would be fun to see the carnage that would ensue with 5-6 spartains in a gaggle of about 300 grunts. oh, and the brutes, too.

ODST stands for ORBITAL DROP SHOCK TROOPERS. They have the highest casualty rate in the core, and are comparable to the Navy Seals of today. They are the best of the best marines, and before anyone asks, NOONE else but a spartan can hand the MC's battle armor. It would cripple and break all the bones in their bodies. If you read the fall of reach it explains all of this.

Dude, you didn't read the books, did you? There will be other Spartans in the single-player mode because Bungie said that the books were, essentially, an additional element to HALO.
Therefore, the stories are one and the same. There will be other Spartans, and the ODSTs were from the books as well, so you are just plain wrong.

I don't want to meet the other Spartans. Like other people have said, what sounds better.

'you are earth's last chance, if you die there is no hope'
'you are one of many spartans, if you die another will take your place'

Master Chief is the leader of the spartans, the sergent. If he dies, they will have some hope, just not as much of a chance.

ODST are the 101st Airborne as justified in the Fall of Reach.

Yea i was gonna say that they were like the 101st of world war 2 but i figured more people could relate to the navy seals. They were like Easy company in the 101st to be procise.

How about this...
'You and and the last remaining spartans (4 now, once there were a few platoons) are eath's only hope'

besides, MC isn't invincible. A story of a few warriors will their backs up against the wall, trying to save mankind is much more epic. This isn't a Superman comic. period.

may you, Suge Knight, should consider reading the books or leaving the forums to buy a stack of Marvel comics. That way, you wouldn't have to complain, ignorantly, about such a great story.

I think that the ODSTs will rank as the Gold Elite sorta speak. Here are a couple analogies.
Marine : ODST :: Blue Elite : Gold Elite
ODST : Master Chief :: Gold Elite : Black Elites
