k so u're suppose to be stealthy-thats why they give us 2 weapons equipped with silencers

also why the -blam!- would we have shields- ODST never had/never will have shields becuase thier armour has to have a power pack-if they did it woul be too heavy+prob cost to much money to equipe every ODST with one-since their's a few hundard thousand or more ODST and only 33 Spartans

k no BR during the night time missions

It has been explained how the ODST gameplay mechanic works. You don't have shields, you have stamina and health.

I imagine the BR will be in the game. I just think that using a BR will likely be more trouble than its worth as it will be loud and visible. But then again Dutch and Mickey both specialise in heavy weapons that aren't exactly stealthy.

Err, I think we all realize that ODSTs don't have shields, but why wouldn't there be a BR? The fact that it hasn't been shown yet makes me think Bungie put some sort of cool spin on it, like they did with the SMG and pistol.

By the way, have they shown an actual 1st person view of an ODST using the AR yet? The "Meet the Squad" shows a team member holding it, but I'll bet it's changed too gameplay wise.

Shields were only implemented into SPARTAN armour and that wasn't even until the second or third wave of suits.

A BR with a silencer would be cool.

And a laser sight, cutting through the darkness. Followed swiftly by a three-round burst through a Brutes head.

After you empty a clip and a half getting his shields off. BRs fail against Brutes.

I'm pretty sure its only a burst or two more than a Spartan in multplayer. As long as you aim for the body and finish with a headshot it should be no problem....

Thanks for repeating something and making it hard to understand. Anyways, who was saying that you would get shields? Also, where did you get the number 33 for the number of Spartans? John, a.k.a. Master Chief, is a.k.a. Spartan #117. Yes, there are more than thirty-three spartans in the Halo universe.

EDIT: Oh, I forgot to mention that there will be only one (1) silenced weapon in H3: ODST. The new pistol is, I believe, a rapid-fire magnum.

The pistol is silenced, it just doesn't have the very visible external silencer like the SMG, it's more of an internal one like an MP5SD. At least, that's how I understand it.
