Subject: A reference to the Dutch?

I'm speaking about the ODST with the orange secondary colour and the jolly roger on his chestpiece. Yes, I'm speaking of Dutch!

His nickname is Dutch and his secondary colour is the representive colour of the Netherlands.

another thing: We Dutch people are descendants from the barbarians, which are quite brute. Dutch has a jolly roger on his chest and an upperjaw just below his visor, which seems quite brute to me. he also uses heavy weapons.

I read somewhere that Bungie were allowed to make a hellghast inspired helmet, since they were befriended with the guys from killzone, which are Dutch.

so could Dutch be a reference to the Dutch? The Netherlands :P

Hmm... intriguing idea. As for the Dutch flashback achevement, it should contain a Holland reference.

I don't think Bungie would be that insensitive. Also, the Helghast helmet you are speaking of is the E.O.D. helmet. You have to beat Halo 3 on Legendary to get it.

very much so yes, the secondary colour being orange is defintly a link to the Netherlands.
I dont know about the helghast inspired helmet though, do you have any sources or links to that as it would make an interesting read :)

It makes sense but I don't see the importance of this affecting the game in any way.

You don't need a link. If you have the E.O.D. helmet, put it on your character. You are now part of the Helghast Military.

And the Shadow fell upon the Land, and the World was riven stone from stone. The oceans fled, and the mountains were swallowed up, and the nations were scattered to the eight corners of the World. The moon was blood, and the sun was as ashes. The seas boiled, and the living envied the dead. All was shattered, and all but memory lost, and one memory above all others, of him who brought the Shadow and the Breaking of the World. And him they named Dragon.

It's JAF.

Well, I like to believe Dutch is based on me, but that's probably more wishful thinking than actual fact.

"Is God willing to prevent evil, but not able?Then he is not omnipotent. Is he able, but not willing?
Then he is malevolent. Is he both able and willing?Then whence cometh evil?Is he neither able nor willing?
Then why call him God?"

Why do you think that you relate to Dutch?

Do you know what kind of hat I'm wearing?

A party hat; you don't get one. An honor will this party be, a party in your honor, for your honor. Some of Tfear's personal guards are going to be there. You'll be introduced shortly.

Prepare to die.

I was hoping that he was Belgian :'(

[Enter extremely funny joke here]

Well, Dutch isn't from Earth, so his name probably wouldn't relate to the Netherlands directly.

Wait, the OP is Dutch? Dude, I love you guys. Unfortunately, we're bordering Belgium and not Holland =[

  • 06.13.2009 12:03 PM PDT

Why So Serious?

Interesting ideas. But regardless, Dutch is awesome.

  • 06.13.2009 12:07 PM PDT

yup I'm Dutch :P


well... not the ODST guy, hehe. (damnit :S)

Now I at least know what JAF stands for :P
and I have no problems with Belgians, I don't have any problems with anybody!! unless they have a problem with me... or if they don't have any brains....


btw: The jolly roger was commonly used by pirates, which refers to the sea. The Dutch people were very good sailors! We are the people of the water! another reference! :p

Eat raw meat.
Punch a bear in the face.


If you don't know who I am, the feeling is mutual.

I read on Halopedia that it's a reference to Dutch, a character from the movie Predator. I need to watch it, but I'm assuming he's a heavy weapons guy.

Edit: Okay, it's a reference to the Govenator. Awesome.
