Subject: Couldn't all ODSTs be Spartans?

the only ODST know to try to use Spartan Mark V amour was killed because he reflexes were so fast that it broke his bones and the muscle spasms finished him off.

At the end of an obvious statement you must put an obvious statement mark. It looks like this:

"The sky is blueisuck"
And
"This is a sentenceisuck"

Narwhal.

Just think about it. Spartans are soldiers that wear armor. ODSTs are soldiers that wear armor also. It makes perfect sense and it's bulletproof. I can't believe I'm the first person to figure this out.


They must also be stormtroopers, Cylons, and Imperial guardsmen because they all wear armor!

Oh wait, Spartans are bred to be soldiers, physically enhanced, and are about a foot taller than ODST's.


tl;dr version: OP fails.

No battle is decided in a single moment, although in every battle there arise moments of crisis, on which the result depends. - Carl von Clausewitz

I drink your milkshake!

"If you know the enemy and know yourself, you need not fear the result of a hundred battles." - Sun Tzu, the Art of War

There armor is different. The Spartan armor is a powered armor suit used only by supersoldiers, kid of like the Ironman suit. The ODSTs armor is like US interceptor body armor.

Are you being serious? By the sounds of it, you need to read up on the Spartans because the ODST and Spartans are nothing to do with eachother! The only thing they have in common is that they fight for the UNSC.

The Orbital Drop Shock Troopers (ODST) are an elite group of UNSC Marines that specialize in special warfare tactics. Their method of infiltration by orbital drop allows them to conduct missions against targets that other conventional forces cannot approach undetected. (Read more here).

And the spartans were specially chosen by Dr Halsey (at the age of 6) to be trained to become the best. Everything to do with them was genetically enhanced - from reflexes to eyesight - and their armour was far superior than the ODST armour.


Edit: I'd just also like to throw it out there that when John (Master Chief) was put to a test with Cortana, he single handedly defeated 7 ODST marines literally within seconds. (He also did a lot more than that in that specific test, but defeating 7 ODST marines on his own seems the most relevant to this topic).

It was extremely immoral. They kidnapped 73 (I think it was 73) children at the age of 6 and replaced them with flash clones to turn them into ultimate fighting machines (super soldiers). They were the best, but Dr Halsey always felt guilty for what she had done to them because many people claim she ruined their life and the ODSTs especially disapproved of the SPARTAN project in general. But thatw as mainly because they were obviously jealous of the Spartan's superiority.

If you've read the books, then not much sank in. Explain to me how Spartan 117 (Master Chief) could be abducted in the year 2517 at the age of 6 and then appear in Halo 3 in the year 2553 yet still only be 6-10 years old. Because if you have an explanation to that, then i'd be very intrigued by it.

Also, to those that actually have intelligence, please don't mention mention John's time in a cryotube because that only affects his physical aspects, but his age still remains the same.

Doc: "i'm a pacifist"
Caboose: "your a thing that babies suck on?"
Tucker: "no dude, that's a pedephile"
Church: "tucker, i think he means a pacifier"

Seriously ppl, read my post on the fist page, draws a clear picture on the difference between the two.

Somewhere out there... in an alternate reality... Marty decided to stay in the ad jingle business, bringing about an age of amazingly orchestrated Pampers commercials.

I'm pretty sure it says in The Flood that you could sign up to be an ODST, but with a SPARTAN, they were abducted as children and given extra training and biological augmentations.

Im just a person who likes to play my all time favorite game "Halo 3"
thats the only game i mostly like and i make great screenshots and there cool and i love them.

Come on people... i mean seriously??? what is with
these forums? most of you guys/girls are wrong and
telling people false things that might be wrong

An ODST could never be an UNSC Spartan... even if
it takes it years for any ODST to try to be a Spartan...
it can not work ok... it can't work

Yep ODSTs are volunteers I'm pretty sure.
