Subject: Ammunition in ODST?

Has anyone thought how your supposed to manage your ammo in ODST? I've seen these E3 gameplay demos but never saw how your supposed to keep your ammo in check with all these covenant around. Unless you can pick up covie weapons but from what I remember you can't, so what's gunna happen? You need to find some dead marines lying around the map randomly? Anyone know?

If you watch any of the gameplay trailers you will see that they go and trade out their SMG for a plasma pistol while fighting with the brutes, but hey whatever.

You can pick up Covie weapons. You just can't dual wield.

I would imagine there would be a few abandoned armories around.

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

and how!

In the E3 gameplay demo you can clearly see "Friendly" beacons on the VISR map. They are yellow instead of blue.

My guess is there will be locations where a few surviving Marines/ODSTs are hiding and they might supply you with ammunition or even a little backup.

I wouldn't be surprised to see a few civilians cowering in the rubble as well.

RED BRICK STUDIOS!

And there are a bunch of dead guys...

Here’s what Luke had to say about the differences in treatment between the Spartans and Elites in Reach:

“Instead of piece-by-piece customization like the Spartans, Elite customization is a full model swap with models selected from the various Elite classes appearing throughout the Campaign. There are all kinds of reasons for this, not the least of which is our continued emphasis on the Spartan as your identity in Reach.”

In the trailer you can see ODSTs in firefight mode with covenant weapons.

Also, in the campaign, there is a prompt to pick up a needler.

Thats my old account.

Long time Bungie fan, I love videogames and such.

I'd imagine there'd be other surviving Marines, maybe even ODST's camping out. Keep in mind that whe the city was destroyed everyone was still down there. At least a lot of Marines were. There's probably all sorts of weapon caches scattered in the ruins.

Typical Halo nerd. Move along.

1. You can pick up Covie weapons

2. ODST Drop Pods will re-supply you with all the ammo you need, including weapons

3. Chances are, that EMP blast killed everyone in the city of Old Mombasa, so civilians and/ or Marines are out of the question.

EDIT: I take that back. Some marines and civilians made it, but I'm sure the Covenant killed them when you play the Rookie

generally people read about the topic before they post a response.

Anyway, I know you can pick up covie weapons, and there may be distribution centers (armories) around the city just like there are health areas. Alternatively, you could just choose to use stealth and not fight the hordes of covenant patrolling the city.

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.

You are in the middle of a war torn city, not only that but a Human city, on a Human controlled world. Somehow I don't think ammunition is going to be as scarce here as it was on a Halo.

~~Christian

if it is like any other "free world" games, then there will be a bunch of dead bodies and ammo boxes spread around randomly

  • 06.20.2009 1:33 PM PDT

Oh ok I forgot about you can pick up covie weapons. it should be fine then. I just wasn't sure ODST's would be familiar with covie weapons since they are not spartans.
