As you progress throughout your life you realize that the older you get the closer your are to death, the only thing you cannot change.

Johnson has regular Marine armor, meaning shouldn't he be able to take less damage then the ODSTs, seeing as how the ODST's have better armor then the Marines(forgot the name of ODST armor.) The only thing that would make sense of all of this was if Johnson was a spartan one, and that still would be confusing

Johnson isn't affiliated with the Spartan Projects.

From the screenshots, it looks as though he's got some ODST armor -minus the helmet.

Even without a helmet, he'll still fight as good as any other ODST.

If you want to get technical and debate whether or not the helmet is needed, keep in mind that he's only in Firefight, and not applicable to the Halo 3 ODST storyline at all.

"It's better to live one day as a lion, then one hundred years as a sheep." -Italian Proverb

A Marine scout sniper was once asked what he felt when he killed terrorists.
His response? "Recoil"

"Though I walk through the Valley of the Shadow of Death, I fear no evil, for You are with me."

Firefight is just for fun... Why is everyone being so picky over every little tiny thing they see wrong with it? It's a fun addition to the game, be happy it was added.

Johnson is actually half rabbit, I suggest you read the halo novel "Johnson: The Untold Story".

Nah, it's just for looks, and as Bungie said so aptly, to impress chicks on your squad.

I'm right 97% of the time. Who cares about the other 4%?

Firefight doesn't need to be canon, so having Johnson wear ODST armor, which appears to be the case, wouldn't be any problem at all.

Its like Halo 3's multiplayer. In no way can that be seen as canon.

Yeah, the UNSC decided to spend billions on the Spartan-II project to create billions of super soldiers.... to fight each other. Canon? No. Is firefight? No

Four shots, four kills, reload, repeat. This is the work of a sniper.

Have you even looked at the screenshots? Its a different model than Johnson in Halo 3. He wears ODST armor.

Wrong
Read the "Early Career in UNSC Marine Corps and NavSpecWar" section. Then click on Project ORION and read up on it.

Well, I have one more question for this topic, will there be VISR in ODST? Wouldn't playing as Johnson give a disadvantage because there wouldn't be a VISR for him(it is in it)

I never said it was, I said it seems to be more cannon then the actual multiplayer, but there is no way it could be either way

By "ODST" I assume you meant Firefight. Anyway, Johnson's lack of a helmet would technically prevent him using the VISR, but Johnson is just a character skin, so it won't affect gameplay at all.

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

Johnson was just born tough.

  • 06.19.2009 4:12 PM PDT

woot

ok really, with these posts it just one of these forums

Johnsons in firefight is no different then changing your helment in halo3 now

thats it

when you pick your guy for it, you just hit some arrows and bam you get johnson insteed of another odst.

he'll have everything as the other charaters just the same as choosing another helment in multiplayer, nothing is changed at all.

it's like with the normal elite helemt in the multiplayer, his eyes just have built in Zoom Feature, and no one has gone off the deep end of that, but everyone seems to go off when on snap johnson has a hud without a helmet!!111!!!

alright...got it?
