[1] how do we know the ODST are the same as the hell jumpers form the novels? i saw this written in the confirmed faq. in the novel i dont remember it mentioning the helmets in the description. also i thought they were only inserted from space in individual tubes, not pelicans.

[2] has bungie told us what ODST stands for yet?

Yea, the ODST's are unable to use the all of the abilities of the MC armour because A) they werent good enought to begin with, and B) are not augmented to be able to control the armour.

THe ODST's get whatever they are able to handle. AFter reading the Fall of Reach, I highly suggest you dwelve into its depths. It is very informative as to things within the Halo universe. And if you are curious enough to ask the question, then I assume your curiosity will lead you to search for you answer.

ODST in general are nicknamed helljumpers because of their occupation, they are lauched from a ship to a planets surface were there pods heat up from the atmospheric entry, thus the name helljumpers

No, I just explained that not ALL ODSTs are Helljumpers, only the 105th Division of ODSTs. Don't call me a noob when you haven't even read the books, smart ass.

Yes I have read all the books, 5 times already and yes you are a n00b, All Helljumpers are ODST's. All ODST's are helljumpers, you see Helljumper is just another name for ODST. Get your facts straight.

I just read The Fall of Reach. First, I don't think its that heavy on the butter of a topic to be discussing. For sure, the 105th ODST's are HellJumpers. the direct translation of this nickname is not completely apparents HOWEVER, they sacrifice many ODST's on the MC for testing the armour, and because of that and the nickname I am led to believe that many ODST's have the nickname of Helljumpers. These however are factual indifferences which have no adverse effect on gameplay. This is clearly a TomAHto, TomAtoe problem.
