awesome update.

but on a side note...i am pretty sure that the phrase is "sometimes, always, never." i could be very wrong though. anyone else think the same?

I'm like a whisper in the wind.

This Weekly Update's FAQ about the ODSTs portrayed them as such a bunch of badasses that they nearly made the Master Chief look generic by comparison. Generic unless...

You take into account that in the Halo novels the ODSTs as a whole hate the SPARTAN IIs in part because they stole the ODSTs status as the top-notch Spec Ops unit of the UNSC. As a result of this I wonder:
What kind of training do the SPARTAN IIs underwent that not even the ODSTs can endure?
Apart from the kickass MJOLNIR Mark IV-VI armor, what kind of equipment do the SPARTAN IIs had that not even the ODSTs could use?
We all know that the SPARTAN IIs became very adept at pretty much shooting any Covenant or Flood that moved, but seriously what were their actual roles within the UNSC?

The part about the Fairfax bunny was random at first, but I guess that is Bungie's way of doing some community service.

Call me Rdog, not RdOG or RdOG1507. I made that username when I thought it was cool to use alternating capital and lowercase letters...

Wow, I didn't know a human's head could turn as much as the ODST's head is in the picture. O__O

nice update cant wait for Halo Recon but i think its sad you guys are just giving out recon(once you get the achievements) to all the little 4,5,6,7 or even 8 year olds that play halo and i guesss all this "i can haz recon" evetually got to you guys and gals?i think you shouldnt make recon unlockable
you can always get what you want
in this case recon armor should be a bungie exclusive thing not only that besides half of the halo or bungie communtiy wanting recon it would give them a chance to work for bungie and take over the world
oh and i took a picture of a covenent and cheif hitting each other and it looked like they were dancing so i named it "dancing"
and attempted to upload the image to fileshare
Well the ban hammer has struck down upon me with great force saying "struck down" us an understatement
it bent me over and made be its_____
yeah fill in the blank
anyways i look forward to playing Recon next year
peace

Not that my opinion will be agreed with I honestly dont wanna see OSDT storyline... Id rather see what happens to the Chief out there wherever he is. How bout you guys tell that story.

ORBITAL DROP SHOCK TROOPERS (ODST)

United Nations Space Command (UNSC) Orbital Drop Shock Troopers (ODST) are under the operational authority of Naval Special Weapons (NavSpecWeap). Their methods of operation allow them to conduct missions against targets that more conventional forces cannot approach undetected.

The ODSTs perform highly specialized, small scale, high-risk operations such as:

• Deep ground surveillance (DGS)

• Direct action (DA)

• Unconventional warfare

• Counter-terrorism operations

• Counter-contraband operations

• Personnel and special equipment recovery/capture

ODSTs are recruited from the Special Operations Groups of all the nations of the Unified Earth Government (UEG). Since the first group of “handpicked volunteers” was activated, ODSTs have been dropping “feet first” into combat.

-- So pretty much the ODST is the future of your present day S.W.A.T units --

You keep using that word. I do not think it means what you think it means.

Some very interesting information about the ODST. I can't wait to send them my application.

These hands you see before you will end the light of day. Your ashes will be cast into the wind! Your blood's upon the soil, your body fed to wolves, not one of you will be left alive...!
