Can ODST's use grav hammers?
How about Fuel rod cannons?
What about... Swords? [doubtful, seeing as though there aren't any elites to get them from]

Yes, Yes, no. Swords aren't going to be in the game, but the other 2 are in the game and usable.

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

Yes to fuel rod cannons, not sure about gravity hammers or swords. Of course, gravity hammers are in the game, but it could be like Halo:CE with energy swords where once you kill it you can't pick it up. They haven't revealed anything on swords or if they will even make an appearance.
Mizzou, have you seen a video where a player uses a gravity hammer, I have only seen enemies use it.

How to spell "space"?

S-P-ACE! SPACE!

Fuel Rods are usable, at least in Firefight.
Gameplay vids show it.

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

and how!

You can use detached turrets and gravity hammers in Firefight, but I seriously doubt it in Campaign.

Marines and ODSTs have been able to use Fuel Rod Cannons since you could trade weapons with them.

You obviously aren't very bright.


No Elites, no swords.

I have yet to see a fuel rod in ODST
Care to link me a video?

Okay, people are saying, there are no elites when that isn't necessarily true. It was said that you will not fight them, and depending on the time fram they could be allies. As for Gravity Hammers, you could not trade those to ODST's in Halo 3 so i doubt you can use them.

@Wali,
just take his word for it, I saw it too, but I'll try and find a link.
I haven't seen anyone use a hammer though, if you can find a link to that...

The Halo 3 Martyrdom

Gravity Hammers? It'll take like five minutes for the guy to muster up the strength to swing it, and when he finally does, he'll be pumped full of spikes and then will end up flying off a cliff or bridge because of the hammer itself.

Campiagn Kill Count :31,745. And growing.

The Revisionaries- One of the greatest screenshot groups on B.net. With 250 members and growing.

I HIGHLY doubt that a Gravity hammer will be useable in-game. A sword weighs as much as a grunt, and Hammers are twice that size. Both are much too large for an ODST.

But, seeing that he can use a turret, I guess it's possible. We'll have to wait and see.

Fuel Rods will be useable though. It's been in footage, and ODSTs in the Halo 3 campaign can use them as well.

Self-proclaimed genius.
Roam the streets with a sign, "will love for false hope."

You can use dismounted turrets, gravity hammers, fuel rod cannons, brute shots, probably the sentinel beam too if it's included...

Totally logical. <.<

At least there aren't Energy Swords featured in ODST.

.

The hammers are GRAVITY hammers who is to say that that the hammers aren't light or that they don't modify gravity to make themselves light. The sword fits in your hand I HIGHLY doubt it would weigh even as a much as a grunt.
Turrets are the most impossible to be actually true out of the bunch but we still see it in vids so we already confirm it. Turrets are extremely heavy in real life plus the recoil would pretty much make sure your on your butt real quick but this is the future and I'm sure they could easily have lighter turrets with less recoil.

Also how would it make any sense that you can use a rocket launcher and not a grenade launcher (brute shot) for those of you that would say otherwise.

ive seen a vid with grav hammer, problem is, i don't think its in the official library

Glory and fame, blood is our name!
Souls full of thunder, hearts of steel!
Killers of men, a warrior's friend!
Sworn to avenge our fallen brothers!
Sons of the gods, today we shall die.
Open Valhalla's door!
Let the battle begin, with swords in the wind! Hail Gods of War!

I think Bungie said that ODST's can use them, but said that "we'd have to be more patient with our swings".

No Elites, no swords.
That isn't for sure. Remember way back before Halo 3 in the first ViDoc? There was a Chieftain with a sword.

I don't see why brutes can't use swords.

That was in the first ViDoc. Nothing was finalized. Since then, they decided that only Elites would use Energy Swords.

The new super jump. Just swing the hammer and you go flying.

I'd like to believe that they hold some consistency and make it impossible for you to wield Gravity Hammers, Brute Shots, and Energy Swords. All of those weapons are unwieldly for an ODST for seperate reasons.

EXTREME PREJUDICE

^ Brute Shot is a usable weapon in Campaign (as seen in the E3 footage).

In the pre-launched build used for that footage, at least.
