Actually it is more of the upper ODST brass that is competing with the Spartans, but they keep losing at every turn.

Well in Halo: The Flood and also in The Fall of Reach, John, (The Master Chief), was told to attack a bunch of ODST's. Word probably got around of that and the ODST's heard about it. Most likely.

He only attacked because he realized he was being given orders from a superior officer and he understood that. From what I remeber it was almost like a training exercise to him.

Also the Chief is not a marine, he is NAVSPECWEP, or Navy Special Forces. He is like a futuristic Navy SEAL, but much more badass.

They were testing him and Cortana (when he first got her) to see how effective they would be.

ODST or Orbital Drop Shock Trooper. They are a different kind of crazy. They are a form of Special Forces that is put inside a drop pod and dropped from orbit. The 105th earned the name Helljumpers because they were one of the more insane groups of Shock Troopers.

It is armor that maybe has a bit more protection, but that's about it.

Do you think they will be playable, say as alternative to the masterchief in multiplayer modes.

Modern Day Equivalents

UNSC Marines = US Marines
ODSTs = US Army Rangers / Airborne
Spartans = Navy SEALs

That is most likely the roots of the UNSC armed forces. Its basically just to show where each 'program' probably emerged from over 500 years. The only one that didnt change is the Marines, because ... "Marines die, thats what we're here for, but the core, lives forever, so you, live forever" - Sgt. Hartman, Full Metal Jacket :)

Doubt it, but it is possible. There was a pic of MC and 2 ODST's from the level Zanzibar (which is a MP level) so maybe you can. Bungie hasnt actually said anything about that pic yet.

In The Fall Of Reach, the ODST's started the fight because they were told to, to see how a spartan reacted to a situation like that. In the flood, Silva goes back in time to talk about it, and that's what makes silva really hate the spartans, but it doesn't matter, he's dead :)

  • 06.29.2004 4:22 PM PDT

I'll be on my own side.

it seems that Major Silva's ODST's didnt like the Chief,as evidenced by Corporal Locklear.probably because Silva himself didnt like him. he hates the Chief for reasons that he had no control over.for one, when the Chief fought the ODST's in the boxing ring,he killed a couple of them,who were under Silva's command at the time.the Master Chief had to defend himself,so who cares who they were or whose command they were under. and two,Silva labeled the Chief as a freak.as if it were the Chief's decision to be kidnapped and raised by the military,or to be sugically altered.
