We've all seen it, and we all think it's retarded: ODSTs wielding the turret.

It doesn't make sense! Back when Bungie told us about the ability to rip off turrets, because we we're spartans, and had super strength was awesome, but now, it doesn't fit.

It's quite ironic, removing dual wielding but keeping the ability to rip a turret off it's stand!

Or is it too late?

Please vote and give your opinion on the matter!



I'm sorry if this is a repeated thread.

Give a sauce on where an ODST rips a turret off.

My main problem is ODSTs carrying the turrets.

True, I mean really, if you can hold a giant chain gun and run around with it, I'm pretty sure you can hold 2 pistols.

Ya i think it should be removed.

Your world ends with 57

So you would deny badass soldiers the right to run rampant with gatling guns? You disgust me.

they should have unripable turrets in forge too.

  • 06.03.2009 4:32 PM PDT

I don't think it's retarded.
And standing with only half a pistol clip against a brute, most probably would enjoy the ability, too. I don't see why they shouldn't.
Why is it hard to believe that the second best of the the best can't lift a turret?

agreed.

Is a bit rediculous that they can wield a turret and not two pistols.

Not that I'll complain though if it stays the same, its just a tad redic.

No I disagree look at this way, your out of bullets and theres 7 guys. They blow up your turret, your only defense, since you can't pick it up... Your a dead man. Only thing worrying me is he runs at a fast speed with the turret though.

YES! So true, I hate having those turrets, I have maps the need a turret in a spot but if its removed by a player is messes up the game. We should have a thing on the turret to make it un-removeable, like in the edit list on each item.

i love how people are so critical of a VIDEO GAME

  • 06.03.2009 4:34 PM PDT

Dude here:
1)It's a game, you can fly in games, you can do what ever you want in games.
2)I don't know if it's true, but I heard that if they rip it off, they will walk slower than a usual spartan.
3)ODST are between marines and spartan, so they are half a spartan so why not.

Thank you sir, that was an epic rendition of this topic.


Posted by: Xx KNOX xX
and how!

I'm really hoping it will either be exclusive to Firefight or will be for a limited carry time due to it's weight.

And if that is available in Firefight, perhaps a touch of dual wielding?

Maybe not, maybe Bungie just decided to leave the ability in or they never took the time to take it out.

There's a screen shot of the ODST hip firing a turret.

I'd rather us not to be able to hip fire them.

Oh yes! Cause it would make sense for an ODST to fly! /sarcasm

The original reason we can rip off turrets is because we were spartans, but were not spartans anymore...
