Wort, Wort, Wort!

So I am trying to compile the things that will get changed to make you an ODST and not a Spartan.

-No shield, although you have COD like stamina and a health bar that needs med packs to regenerate

-Lower jump and speed

-Fall damage is back

-Lower health

-Apparently you can still detach a turret, that may be changed from all the criticism

-You are smaller,easier to hide

-You seem to not be as noticeable to the enemy, you can sneak closer to them in the night campaign and are not always their main target during the day campaign.(this is from observations of the game play vids)

-You have the new pistol and smg

-You have the low light enhancement thingy(slight night vision with targeting/outlining system

-You can't use equipment, the X button is now night vision

-You may still be able to hijack vehicles,(i hope so),and are still able to plant grenades

-You will have a map

-You don't have a motion tracker but your map shows enemies, but it's not in your HUD so you may be killed while looking at it.(not sure if it pauses the game while you look)

-Have up to probably 3 maybe 4 frag grenades and up to 2 probably 3 maybe 4 of the other three grenades = possible total of 16 grenades W0ot!

-Grenades are lobbed and are thrown differently

-Hud is rearranged and changed color to yellow

-NO BR! (stop whining you have Halo CE super pistol)

-All H3 vehicles will be in ODST

-Lots of grunting added(throwing grenades, being shot, falling) (that sounds kinda sick)

That's all i can find right now, post if you find more stuff or want to correct me! (or just post to say thanks and to keep this topic out of the trash so other people can see it to)

In a firefight video, an ODST jumped on a wraith and stuck a grenade into the cockpit, but I don't think you can drive them for balance reasons, dunno if its the same in campaign.

You can carry 4 frags and 4 other grenades. Maybe more.

You know, I haven't seen any video where he wields more than 3 grenades, either 3 is max or I've missed some video.

- You throw grenades differently, instead of throwing them like a Spartan or Elite, you're kind of lobbing them trying to throw further away. The ODST moans when he throws too.

- Yeah, you'll moan and stuff from being shot.

And the 4 grenade types will be in the game for use as well.

ODST will basically be like playing Halo: CE again.

Which is a good thing.

Four shots, four kills, reload, repeat. This is the work of a sniper.

I'm almost positive 3 of each, not 4 (grenades). And Yay fall damage! I pretty much like all the changes, and I hope they don't take away detachable turret, although I doubt they will anyway, and in the polls overall people said keep it in the end.

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

and how!

I'm fairly certain that Gravity Hammers, detached turrets, and boarding are only available during Firefight.

If not, Bungie just stabbed a 12 inch carbide combat knife right through the Halo Bible.
