I always tried to give my ODST friend a hammer but you couldn't because it is too heavy. Knowing that not being able to use it during an onslaught of grunts coming at you could be annoying. It would be right there but not usable. Also, it would not be able to use because it is very heavy and ODST aren't strong. Comments?

I'm pretty sure that is only in Firefight along with detachable turrets.

The gravity hammer would look HUGE compared to ODSTs. It'll be funny to see

-blam!- Was that actually blammed out? Or did I just type it? You'll never know.

No. A flimsy little human with a weapon that creates such a shock wave that either tosses Spartans around?

Sounds like a bunch of Justin Bieber wannabes in here. I bet you all wear skinny jeans too.

A better question is, why shouldn't it be? I'm sure ODST's can hold it, I mean come on. Their the most elite special forces team next to Spartans.

The fight has been complete.... now get the cookies!

While we certainly share your enthusiasm for the return, we here at the Bungie.net community are mostly made up of snarky asses and jerks who will ridicule you for making a thread about something revealed months ago. We regret that your innocent intentions will almost certainly be replied with anger and sarcasm, and politely invite you to don your Flame-suit, because you just did the internet equivalent of jumping up the Construct lifts.

If ODST's could, they probably would go to the spartan training. The UNSC just doesn't want to risk anything again. They are suitable for the hammers. The ODST's are weaker and smaller in halo 3. Not ODST. Obviously in this game they are stronger then halo 3 and a tad bigger.

Eat raw meat.
Punch a bear in the face.


If you don't know who I am, the feeling is mutual.

Ugh... as fun as that will be, shouldn't ODSTs have some minuses compared to Spartans?

look it if i recall as a description for the detached chain gun said that only a spartan could carry its weight, slowly even at that. as for the grav hammer, play halo 2 and tell me how the grav hammer would affect normal humans

Well it is true that it is possible with some guns but it is not tactical at all the recoil will kill your accuracy and the military doesn't train its soldiers to dual wield weapons as far as i know. Also some of the guns might just be a little to big to dual wield for example the plasma rifle which actually is pretty big. Oh and the SMG has all of those new attachments that make it a lot heavier then it was before so it would be way to hard to dual wield even with out its super recoil plus why would you dual wield a gun that has a scope just saying.

wait...... did you say pancakes !?

yea it should be usable

  • 06.28.2009 12:56 AM PDT

But there's no sense crying over every mistake.
You just keep on trying till you run out of cake.
And the Science gets done.
And you make a neat gun.
For the people who are still alive.

Gravity hammers are good to use. That's all that matters, i'd rather have a weapon that kills, then make it more realistic and resist not using that brute chieftains gravity hammer you just killed.
