As cool as it would be to fly around on a drone I find it would contradict what it says in the Field Armory.
They always travel in groups of four or more, are well disciplined, and extremely aggressive. Drones are best described as irregular troops their high morale and fierceness may be biochemical in nature.
So I'm not sure how a ODST will be able to get on the Drone then let alone fly it around the city.The bold/underlined words show to me that this only supports the Drones and their flight capabilities. As far as traveling with four or more, you could easily demolish three and leave the fourth stuned, on the ground, to yourself. To heal your 'Droshi', you could bring it to the Optican MediGel First Aid stations around the city. I don't want to go too far out in thinking that these sporadic creatures are rather easy to manipulate, much like the Grunts and how they were forced to fight along side the Covenant, or the Jackals and how they are able to sway to whichever side gives them the most benefits. Just keep the Drone in constant action, and heal him when he is low on health (Almost like in the Pokemon series, but that is a whole new idea/system/game)

Yes, but will there be drone tricks, like barrel rolls and loop-de-loops? Also, what about a speed boost?
No speed boosts that I know of, I feel like that would be asking for too much from the Drones. I haven't really figured out the physics behind doing a 'loop-de-loop' on a Drone yet, but something tells me that the risk for the ODST to fall off is way too high. Maybe through the use of the left and right triggers, you could have the drone do quick aerial sidesteps. I feel as though the Drone would render the driver unable to use weapons, much like the Mongoose.
