Subject: Anti-vehical tactics for ODST?

besides the big guns that go BOOM, whats can the ODST's do against the vehicals? i assume they can't hijack like MC (or maby they can... ODST's are bad ass too), but can they do stuff like just a nade in a wraith engine? or take out a scarab (lets hope we see them in ODST) like MC did? i really don't see how they can effectivaly combat vehicals without a rocket launcher or a spartan laser, anyone have some insight?

Well, I have a feeling you aren't going to need to worry about fighting Wraiths without some kind of explosive. There isn't much an ODST can do that would turn the tides against a tank.

However, if you can manage to get behind a Wraith without it noticing, you can melee the back and do some significant damage. That might prove to be important in the game.

"Anyone can give up it's the easiest thing in the world to do. But to hold it together when everyone else would understand if you fell apart, that's the true strength."

Well, they got rocket launchers, spartan lasers, they can BOARD vehicles and plant grenades. But not beatdown + hijack vehicles. Yeah. really it...

im not so sure about the mele stuff, MC had super human strength. ODST's, while badass, are not super human.

And my army of brothers went over the hilltops, drenched in blood we may be.... but fighting is all left to me....together with my army of brothers...down we fall....darkness in all..through hell...

I think they will have all sorts of booby traps along with remote explosives and orbital bombardments up their sleeves. Plus they have all the rocket launchers, spartan lasers, and grenades.

there pretty damn close though

  • 06.12.2009 9:00 PM PDT

ok... im fairly sure that they wont have booby traps, remote explosives and especially wont have orbital bombardments, but all the other stuff the will have... ussually. question is, what happens when it runs out?

Get a mongoose, ductape, and a fusion coil..,

THEY HAVE DUCTTAPE IN THE FUTURE? :O

"Apparently people don't like the truth, but I do like it; I like it because it upsets a lot of people. If you show them enough times that their arguments are bull-blam!-, then maybe just once, one of them will say, 'Oh! Wait a minute I was wrong.' I live for that happening. Rare, I assure you."-Lemmy of Motorhead

i belive shhave funzes suppos

Yes, I'm the guy who had the Flood admit to being furries.

Maybe at some point in a flash back as Romeo you have to destroy a Wraith. Buck manages to shoot off the hatch for you. You hit the Brute from above from a tall building. Badass shot.

I could imagine a scenario like that in Campaign or Firefight

Headshot... Sticky sticky... Headshot...Stab...Evade Stab Sticky Stab Stab evade Sticky Stab Headshot Sticky Sticky!

the universe will always have ducktape

and they do haze splazers and rocket luanchers.. i think it took like 2shots with rockets on normal to kill a wraith or somethin? but id save the rockets for hunters :F

Well they will Have the VISR maybe that will show weak points to attack or shoot. Kinda how you can shoot a wraith in that back portion with BR and take it down.

Yeah, but Bungie isn't making ODST's meleeing as weak as they should. You can still beat down brutes and stuff, which is stupid, but whatever. So that would mean that you can still do a number on a Wraith with a few extra smacks.
