How will the odst's be in halo 2? will they be better than the marines?(I take it they are), and how wil they compare to the MC? and also whats up with their drop pods?Ive read the books twice and i think the pods are a little weird.

I think that they're almost like Special Ops marines. I'm not totally sure about this, but I think that they're used in airdrops and stuff.

they'll probably have the same AI as the marines

  • 07.02.2004 11:43 AM PDT

Tactics wise, I believe the ODST will be better, atleast different, than the marines. Just my opinion:)

odst is orbital drop shok trooperss and they are called helljumpers, because they drop from ships into a planet from space and their pods get really hot

No kidding Marines are dumb as all hell what about the Sarges? How do you think they will be different? I think that Sgt. Johnson will have a different A.I. from the rest dont you think?

Smarter as in IQ or in battle field instincts? Because ODSTs I thinkare lower on the book work, while your average marine can at least pass sixth grade algebra without breaking a sweat.

ODST= Orbital Shock Drop Trooper (s). If they had advanced AI based on their battalion and combat record, tactics, it would probably go the Sarge, ODSTs, regular Marines. Again, I hope the Sarge has a bigger rol in H2 than in H1

Maybe they could give them a slightly modified elite AI so that they would be aggressive and smart. From what I can tell in the books the ODST's are bad asses that don't take -blam!- off anyone and arn't scared of a little fight.

The ODST's will probably be more agressive than the marines but when it comes to helping the chief they'll be as good as a horde of grunts

They'll help, but they won't enjoy it.

The books portray the ODST's as Elite Marines, the best of the best. And from the looks of the 2003 trailer, they will have smarter AI. Plus they have the added black armor the marines don't wear. As for Johnson, I believe he will be more a part of the story line so he might get his own AI.

The odsts are the elites on the humans side. They should have a more advanced ai then the marines, but the marines should also get their ai updated from halo. THose guys really got on my nerves some times. Like when they get on the back to be the gunner, and they stop shoooting for a moment when the bad guys are right there. Or like when they dont fire untill u get right up on the enemy. Every one is gettting an ai upgrade.

I hope the marines get upgraded but there is one thing the marines are useful for, get a marine with a sniper rifle in the passenger seat of your hog and he is deadly! he hardly ever misses!

Im sure there a helluva alot better then marines and smarter becasue in FAQ it says they have special armor and they will flip vehicles to provide cover and point out enemy snipers.

I just hope that one Marine can take one grunt or jackal, unlike Halo1 where a single Grunt/jackal could kill several marines (in some cases).

ODST snipers helping the Chief out or flanking enemies while the Chief keeps them pinned would kick ass...I expect to see stuff like this in Halo2
