Subject: Fingerless Gloves?

I've noticed that the ODST's have fingerless gloves. Aren't their suits supposed to be vacuum-tight? I mean, if you have holes in your suit while in space, your pretty screwed. So can someone tell me why there might be fingerless gloves?

There is no greater catharsis than arguing on the Flood.

They are marksmen gloves. It's so that you feel the trigger.

Notice the fact they're in giant metal casings when in space. They don't need air tight suits.

Why would it matter... arnt their helmet's sealed? And plus, it's a video game.. a.k.a. FANTASY.. use your imagination!

WHat's that supposed to be?

And I'm assuming they wear something over their hands when they drop, and remove them when they land.

There has already been a thread identical to this and i heared that the ODST may have removed them after leaving the pod (although proven wrong as you see the fingers as the rookie enters the pod).

It is also said that due to stealth being required, the ODST may want to avoid accidental fire due the gloves snagging on the trigger of the gun.

No he's right, they are supposed to be able to survive 10-15 min in space in their suits I think, maybe even more.

apparently... lol

Woop woop.

The suits are only capable of sustaning life for about 15 minutes, so either way, an ODST would be screwed.

They often do.

The future Marksmen of humanity in fight against Aliens. And other nations.
The country with most hobos has the best shooters.

All of the ODSTs used to be hobos, and like to remember their cardboard days.

That makes sense.
Why most of the ODSTs are latinos and completely unprofessional? Why Rookie spins some junk in his hands? Why they know the streets of Mombasa like their pockets? Why they have so many pockets and more grenades than Chief is allowed to have?
Why were they left behind? Because they're poor?
Why are they forced to cover their heads and bodies? Are they so ugly and ill? Darth Vader was basically a hobo.
They even live in disposable dumpsters.

The day hobos save us all.

They went in space in "The Cole Protocol." And I think it might have made more sense if they had some sort of full glove over their "marksman gloves." You know, to take them off when they land, sorta thing.
