In today's update, "Drop into firefight", the first picture at the top of the report shows an ODST wielding a detached turret. Now, if I am not mistaken, I thought it took a Spartans strength to tear those suckers off their tripods? I mean, every time I read about the support weapons, it was mentioned that it took ridiculous amounts of strength to rip them from their bases and carry them around....

You are a skunks excrement's excrement's, regardless of what has or has not been "proven" via glitches or anything else,
Its non-canon. If the support weapons weigh enough to slow down a spartan significantly, then they more than likely weigh WAY too much for any average human to carry.
Spartans can flip over ten ton tanks. Point made.

The cannon seems largely ignored in this game. The ODST's are shaping up the be mini Spartans in terms of strength.

ODST suits are built with exo-skeletons although I don't believe this is confirmed any where a modern day project in the real word is VERY similar not only in looks but in use to an ODST.


The turret is also a very in accurate weapon going past a certain very slow speed would just mean way to high of inaccuracy.

Ya and if we wanted Canon Spartans' can only left a Warthog none of the Spartans ever fliped a Tank in the Books.

So what if the can do it seriouslly :S you want an entire wave of Hunters owning you without those things walkin around (probley unlikly for a wave like this but still).

Were it so easy.

Maybe the ODST is not ripping it from its base , they are removed in game all the time by a nearby explosion. I'm just tspeculating but it does seem a little rediculous that an ODST can't use equipment but can rip off/carry a turret.

I'm also pretty sure Spartans shouldn't be able to flip Elephants. But guess what. They do.

And I dont care how strong Spartans are, they shouldn't be able to flip a 66 ton Scorpion either....

You guys are thinking about this a little realistically. Ever consider that Bungie didn't want to change the way you play the game too much?

Well, regardless of whether or not they actually RIP it off, they still couldn't carry the damned thing.

True but do you wanna go against a wave of Hunters with just an SMG :S no I'd go for the Turret.

I'm guessing a turret like that would way roughly 100 pounds, so it's not too unrealistic that an ODST could carry and fire it.

Thats my old account.

Long time Bungie fan, I love videogames and such.

Canon or not, you'll regret whining about it when you're being pounded by Chieftans.

THATS WHAT SHE SAID!!!

wtf

The thing cant possibly weigh more than 200 lbs, an ODST could easily carry that.

The Outstanding Standout

I don't know if they could rip them off of a turret stand, but I do think they could carry them. My guess would be the only reason it slows down a spartan is just because it's bulky.

Can an ODST carry a turret? Yes.
Can an ODST jump with a turret in hand? Not likely.

That's how I see it.

Johnson carried a small turret into the first room you fight in, at the beginning of Cairo Station in Halo 2. Not the same thing, I know, but it's the only thing that came to mind.
