In a recent gameplay video I saw a while ago, I just remembered somebody boarding a Wraith as an ODST. As far as I know, Spartans only have the strength and bone density to break the Wraith cover. Let alone also carrying a turret that weighs so much that a Spartan has difficulty carrying it.

Spartan/ODST much?

Mythical Group

There is no greater catharsis than arguing on the Flood.

ODSTs can board vehicles, but not those of enemies in firefight. You must've been mistaken. Link the video.

ODST's are amazing. They can do whatever they like. But yeah I see your point. An ODST shouldn't be able to break open a metal wraith.

I bet if you couldn't board vehicle you'd be complaining about that. If it bugs you so much, then either don't buy the game or don't board vehicles. Seriously, suck it up boy.

STFU. I wasn't complaining. I was pointing out how it was odd that Spartans had difficulty doing these things yet an average ODST is doing it without a sweat.

STFU & GTFO

Burn! Way to stand up for yourself

And hes right. Spartans and Elietes are the only people that should be able to board wraiths...

It was some guy's video he played at E3. It is somewhere in either a pinned topic or drowned in endless threads of Searchbar fail in the ODST forum. Either way I'm having some difficulty finding it...

Jesus loves you, but everyone else thinks you're a twat.

holly heck people its a game, if they made it so you couldnt board the tanks they would be to hard to kill (only one rocket on the map shown), and i sure wouldnt want them to take out the tanks so they can balance out the map.

why do people complain about all this? a game is meant to be fun, dont complain when they adding FUN things to do

  • 06.14.2009 8:38 PM PDT

Its probably just for gameplay. If you really wanna get technical, you shouldt be able to survive the game altogether, since an actual ODST wouldn't be able to regenerate large amounts of health.

You sir have said that this is just a game like a lot of people have but you also made a statement with a point unlike the others. Thank you.

i bet they don't board it the same way as a spartan like they don't punch it and beat the heck out of it

  • 06.14.2009 8:48 PM PDT

Spartans punch it open. Perhaps an ODST can only board it when prying open the cover or when it's partially destroyed.

  • 06.14.2009 8:49 PM PDT

There's always the grenade option. That doesn't require super strength, does it?

Tomorrow isn't looking too good either.

Why are people complaining about ODST's carrying turrets? Apparently no one ever payed attention in campaign or in the books, where regular Marines carry turrets several times.

Are you suggesting that the UNSC's Special Forces are weaker and less able than its stock forces?

  • 06.14.2009 9:12 PM PDT

They can't punch it. They can only hijack it to plant a grenade.

ODSTs are special forces, the best of the best besides spartans. They could easily jump on a wraith and throw a grenade in it as well as hopping on the back but as for breaking the metal plating? I don't think so, maybe the metal plating has to be off? As for the turret that's just for gameplay purposes.

who gives a -blam!- just play the damn game god

  • 06.14.2009 9:54 PM PDT

I really don't think its a huge deal but I would have liked to see a different animation for the odsts boarding wraiths like planting a bomb (like C4) on it to destroy it or something, I just think it would play up the fact that besause the odsts don't have the power that spartans have they have to think more strategically in order to take down their enemies.

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


Posted by: Xx KNOX xX
and how!

In ODST's Firefight you can use Gravity Hammers, detach Turrets, and Board Wraiths.

The only part of it that makes sense is boarding Wraiths. You hop onto the very flat surface that is the top of the Wraith and from there are able to plant a grenade and jump off. You can't beat the cover off, as far as I know.

The ODST will have health packs.

I agree.
i think that i've seen an interview that said that you can only put grenades in wraith while hijacking.
