although priced like a game Halo 3 ODST is just an expansion pack to the beloved underachieving Halo 3. Paying $60 doesn't merely hurt as much as knowing that this is all good material designed to be part of Halo 3 which didn't make it into the final product simply because it exceeded the requirement. Knowing that Halo sells it self and there will be enough Halo fans buying their product to make it a success, Bungie held back a great deal of material ranging from in-game features and animations to story lines and cut scenes in the making of Halo 3. All this led up to the creation of a new concept running on an old engine. Halo 3 ODST. After observation and expeculation, ODST game-play is the same as Halo 3. Although Halo 3 game-play is nearly flawless, it causes a conflict once the character you experience the virtual world thru isn't a bio augumented cyborg.

This is a conflict why? ODST Multiplayer = Halo 3 Multiplayer. You play as a Spartan in it. In campaign and Firefight, you have no similarities to Spartans other than a bipedal form.

Do NOT send me Recruitment Letters, doing so will get you blocked faster than you can say "Huh?"

They won't have any. ODSTs are humans.

All our dreams come true, if we have the courage to pursue them.
The friend in my adversity I shall always cherish most. I can better trust those who helped to relieve the gloom of my dark hours than those who are so ready to enjoy with me the sunshine of my prosperity.

Well apparently, judging by the trailer, they can jump about 50 feet and not break a leg.

OK, they have some "super-human" stuff for balance. But they have less than Spartans

From what I saw in a gameplay demo, you want to stay away from Brutes. Doesn't even look like melee effects them that much.

Look again. The jump from the drop pod at the beginning of the game to the street floor nearly depletes all your health.

  • 06.16.2009 8:16 PM PDT

they are biologically enginerd just not as much as Spartans. The have to be to survive the drop that what makes them special. Or else every marine who be dropping out the sky.

They can board Wraiths and move around faster with a Turret ripped off its stand.

No they aren't! The ODSTs are a group of volunteers and they undergo no surgery. Its a volunteer duty because of the risk of dropping from space. Not all of them survive drops.

there are many type of marine that go threw surgey like the new blood just the ODST are the highest level under spartans and the helljump would kill anyone if he werent "super." Read up on the history of Halo like contact harvest or play halo wars its has some detail.

. I know way to much about the Haloverse than anyone ever does. But I'm going to look that up, because your logic works.

...you...can...unfortunately. Stupid sunnuvabeeyotch Brutes always trying to ki-*head shot*

  • 06.16.2009 8:43 PM PDT

ODSTs are stronger than most marines. And spartans aren't gods or anything, yeah they are significantly stronger, but like in Halo Wars it says Forge gets into a scuffle with Douglas so there are humans that can hold their own. Being able to pick a turret up of a stand isn't a big deal. They have to be able to set the turrets up, so obviously they don't have spartans all over to place the turrets so other people have to be able to carry them. As for the falling, you could probably fall a ways, and they have armor. And you have to do quite a bit of damage to the brutes before you can beat them down.

A scuffle doesn't mean a fight. And John took out like 4 ODSTs when he was a teen. no way a human could take a spartan in hand to hand combat.

ODST's Are NORMAL MARINES people

Nothing Special about them, they are elite MARINES more skilled, no physical augmentations, just better training and are more badass

It is retarded that they can rip off turrets because that slows down a spartan who can flip a tank

They should not even be able to melee anything other than grunts or jackals

yet they can kill a brute with about 3 - 4 melees

Board vehicles

And run faster than the chief while holding a turret

Please bungie, i hope you make some last minute changes

  • 06.16.2009 8:53 PM PDT

I know they couldn't take a spartan, but they could hold their own for a good 30 seconds lol.

How do you know they can run faster than the chief with a turret? They've said that you're going to run slower and stuff. Maybe a spartan is slowed down because they're running with an awkward turret.... And of course they can pick up a turret, it has to get set up somehow.

Boarding a vehicle isn't that big of a deal, they drop out of a freaking spaceship for peats sake.

And if you punch a brute a couple times after you've pumped him full of lead, you should be able to kill him.

Stfu and stop complaining.

  • 06.16.2009 9:01 PM PDT

You guys do have to take into account that it is the 26th century in the Halo timeline. . .

And the Spartans can flip a tank with their bare hands yet, when they punch someone, they don't cave in said person's skull.

And who says they don't just "detach" the turret like they would to move it? Why destroy perfectly good equipment?

FEET FIRST INTO HELL

Johnson jumped down from a cliff at the begining of Halo, and didn't even grunt. Plus ODST jump from pods from the atmosphere, pretty sure they can handle a few feet.

did anybody notice he said cyborg? spartans aren't cyborgs they are genetically modified humans. Genes + Humans with right DNA + Augmentation = Superhuman + MLJONIR Armor = Spartans

I don't know if ODST have any spartans abilities other than turret ripping
