Also, a few of us were talking during matchmaking and Halo: Reach is definitely going to be, not a first person shooter, not a third person shooter, but a second person shooter. Bungie is going to revolutionize the way you watch other people play games.

You're essentially asking what the alphabet is.

Challenge me to a Hawaiian Punch chugging contest. I dare you.

ODST is an acronym, which are usually pronounced letter by letter.
Or, more importantly, an acronym that lacks vowels. NASA is an example of an acronym we pronounce as a word simply because it's convenient. ODST is an example of one that we don't because it's not convenient.

I am going to lube your butt hole with nacho cheese and -blam!- you with a crowbar.

Like EMP? Not E-M-P?

Without me, it's just "Aweso".

"Ah-D-ST"

That's what I go by. What's with all this "Pronounce each individual letter" nonsense?

Ohh Dee Ess Tee

The strongest Rivals are also the strongest allies.

By the way, last time I checked O was a vowel.

By the way, last time i checked you cannot pronounce DST without a vowel inbetween somewhere.

ODST is an acronym, like any acronym you pronounce each letter as it would sound in the alphabet

It stands for

O RBITAL
D ROP
S HOCK
T ROOPER

Seriously...who calls an E-M-P "EMP" ? That's a new level of "specialness" :P

O-D-S-T pronounce each individual letter

Self-proclaimed genius.
Roam the streets with a sign, "will love for false hope."

It's easy.

Odst.
ODST.

Kay? Notice the capitalization? That's O. D. S. T. It stands for Orbital Drop Shock Trooper.

Anyone who couldn't figure that out really needs to go back to preschool. <.<

Does anyone even look at these?

And sometimes it's confusing, like sometimes people pronounce it both ways, such as EMP and Emp.

  • 06.19.2009 4:47 AM PDT

C'mon, it's pretty obvious. Oh Dee Ess Tee.

  • 06.19.2009 4:48 AM PDT

Forever praise Lord Jesus Christ, The Father, The Holy Spirit, the one true Lord Almighty God, and bless all forever in His holy name :)

If I don't read it by each letter than I say OD EST.
