Subject: Was the RECON helmet any part of the ODST?

I am prepared for SOME explosions, thanks to EOD.

I would first like to state that I am not upset by the fact that Dare has a recon helmet, in case that might be a point against me.

Well, ODST troops obviously have their ODST helmets, but is was recon really a part of the ODST? Or is it like that now because Dare wears that helmet?

In the opening cutscene shown at e3 there i can remember one line where 2ODSTs say " You see what armor she is wearing". So she is defianty an outsider...maybe a Spartan 3?. Now its thier new boss.

Yeah, in Halo 3 it was a spartan armor set, but Dare wears just the helmet and light ODST armor.

I know you can get Recon from the vidmaster achievements.

I was just wondering if recon really was an ODST armor type, but now I know she is from ONI, but doesn't really explain why she has it.

All I can say is that we will probably get to play as her, because I read somewhere that you do play all squad members at least once.

Well, Dare is the "spy" of the squad, it wouldn't really make sense for her to wear heavy-plated ODST armour. Just because the armour is in Halo 3 multiplayer, doesn't mean it's actually a real Spartan permutation. We have ODST helmets in multiplayer, and you don't see Spartan's running around in campain wearing ODST helmets.

Ive said it before and ill probably say it a lot more.

Dare is NOT an ODST. She is also NOT a spartan of any kind. She is an ONI (Office of Naval Intelligence) agent. Recon was never canonically worn by Spartans; it was developed by ONI. So, it makes sense that Dare wears it.

I think the helmet looks too big for Dare, if it was shrunk down a little bit, it'd be fine.
