Did you know that dolphins are so intelligent, that within only a few weeks of captivity, they can train Americans to stand at the very edge of the pool and throw them fish.

Erm, aren't Spartans supposed to be over 7 feet tall super soldiers?

How come an ODST can carry, yet alone USE a lazer? The weapon looks the same size against a Spartan as it does when an ODST uses it. How?

Check out screen shot 20 from the ODST screens.

if knowledge is power and power corrupts, isn't knowledge therefore dangerous?
Black Tower

same way they do in halo 3.
it's really shakey

  • 06.19.2009 5:43 AM PDT

Because the UNSC made it suitable for use by them. The ODST are the elite of the marines anyways.

People keep telling me to get a life... I am getting an education, I have a lovely girlfriend and alot of friends... I thought this was having a life? Gues I was wrong...

They can also use it in Halo 3... Why shouldnt they be able to use it? Its just a lazer cannon, nothing special about it. Its not overly heavy or massive in a way that normal marines cant use it.

It's not actually intended for Spartans, they just called it that because it's so powerful. The Rocket Launcher is heavier anyways, so if they can use that they can use the Spartan Laser.

Something I noticed about the players who are using Spartan Lasers and the turret in ODST, are that they were all Dutch, the heavy-weapons/demolitions specialist.

Coinsidence?

i heard... that its shishkas skull... bungie x-rayed his head and put that in as the oddball, they did so that they can put shishka in every oddball match to keep an eye on us to make sure we dont cheat remember this next time you go into oddball... shishkas watching...


PURE WIN!

i cant imagine a lazer weghing any more than a rocket launcher maybe less than a RL due to the fact that a RL has 102 mm rickets to carry aswell

actually it's dutch

go to 3.40

Without me, it's just "Aweso".

Well it's a big weapon, the Spartans would have an easier time using it, while it would still be usable by the average marine, but it would be more tiring.

There are two things on this forum that piss me off;
Idiots and group invites.
What's even worse, is that I can never seem to get away from either of them ¬_¬

Sigh...

Its called a Spartan Laser because, like a Spartan, its amazingly powerful.
In other words

I originally thought the same thing. Then I remembered that Johnson used it in Halo 3.

Erm, so what?

You've seen marines use them before. Why is it suddenly a problem now?

  • 06.19.2009 9:15 AM PDT

Johnson can use it so why not? It will probably be really shakey. On a side note the laser shrinks when Johnson has it in Halo 3 as well like when the ODST has it in this game.

I wonder if they will still call it a spartan laser anyway

NO GROUP INVITES!!!

Spartan Laser is just a nickname.

In reality, it's just like any rocket launcer, except its far more stronger.. and weights about 20kg (read the Bungie's article about Splazer)

A human can lift that and use it, but it's uncomfrontable of course. But then ODSTs gear weights probably around 50 kilos anyways (just a guess, doesn't SAS forces, for example, carry 90 kilos of gear? At least so i've heard, dunno if true)
