Does anybody other than me wish that they could actually drive the pod while it's crashing down on the planet? I mean in that little demo your just in camera mode with all this action going around and you can be involved in where it goes?

I don't even think the ODST's can drive the pod.

Only God can drive the pods. Feet first into hell :(

Isnt you asking for to much?
i mean if we could do that then the story would be messed up

I fail to see the thrill of controlling a pod that it's only function is to fall....straight down......

“Strange,” mused the Director, as they turned away, “strange to think that even in Our Ford’s day most games were played without more apparatus than a ball or two and a few sticks and perhaps a bit of netting. imagine the folly of allowing people to play elaborate games which do nothing whatever to increase consumption.”

The Black Chapter!

in the pod specs, it says that they have a limited capacity for steering.
which leaves potential for an MOH airborne style insertion.
which would suck. a lot.

That is a stupid idea.

Mythical Group

There is no greater catharsis than arguing on the Flood.

They can't drive them, and you should've never guessed they could. There's nothing to do such a thing. I could only imagine mini rockets attached but then that defeats the purpose of just dropping. :P

ODST's only have a tiny amount of control on where they go when in the pod, so I don't think so.

Don't upset Achronos or you'll end up with a dog's head in a jar in your mailbox.

Being in first person while the pod is dropping down is awesome enough for me.

My expectations were blown completely through the roof for once and...

You're complaining about one of the most kickass cutscenes we will ever see in Halo 3? Tch.

Is the title to this thread a pun. Let down? get it drop pod?

ahhhhhh forget it

  • 06.02.2009 2:40 AM PDT

Well since in the cutscene the rookies drop pod is hit by another one maybe he lost the ability to even control it.

"Congratulations, your steering landed the pod 5 miles away! Enjoy the walk!"

do you know basic physics?

Actually, you do pilot the pod. The Rookie follows Dare away from the Assault Carrier.

Though, I really don't know why the others wanted to steer into something with an energy shield...

It's perfectly fine how it is.

Infection in Halo 3 isn't zombie killing; it's ethnic cleansing. Have you ever noticed that these "zombies" are just black Spartans?

It would be better if the ODSTs used giant balloons instead of drop pods.
