Hand an ODST a rocket launcher, spartan laser or fuel rod canon and then tell me their useless.
Ofcourse their not going to seem as awesome as a spartan in the Halo 3 campaign, their being handeled by ai, not actual player that can think much faster and come up with more complex tactics.
But if they were would you be having much fun if the ai took all the kills and did all the work for you?
Don't think that the ai can accurately represent character in the canon. I doubt in the future Marines don't know how to drive for **** or that grenade jumping is a practical method of reaching higher areas. It's a game, remember that.
They still die incredibly quickly on Legendary/Heroic. I don't know about normal, I never played Halo 3 in normal (I think), but they died pretty fast in Halo 2 on normal. That was with my TRYING to help them out.
If I recall correctly the Covenant AI was very good in Halo 3. It was almost like the ODST had crappy AI on purpose.
Its not that they didn't seem like a Spartan, but in Halo 3:ODST the squad is about as good as a Spartan from what I can figure, but in Halo 3 Campaign, I could probably kill 25 ODSTs on Legendary, in my sleep.
They weren't that bad ass. I remember one level on Halo 2, where I tried to save all the ODSTs. They all died anyways, on normal. I never died once. A brute would come in and beat them down they would scream and die.
The Rocket ODSTs weren't that good either. They still died really fast.
