Subject: Question about ODST suits.

Are They Enviromentally sealed? Could they withstand being taken over by an Infection Form? If the Flood were to turn up in ODST, would the Rookie be able to take a few hits, or just go down when the first Infection form latches on him?

They are sealed, yes. But the flood won't be in ODST, just an FYI.

Thanks, and I know the Flood won't be in ODST, it was hypothetical.

Remember that hidden ODST on the level Cortana? I tried to get the flood to infect him, and they just can't. Whenever an infection form jumps on the ODST's body, it just pops.

Really? Hmm, I never knew that. Nice find.

True, but that COULD be just a scripting error, given that there are no live ODSTs near flood.

So what if the saxophone is black?
it has better tone the the gold one.
damn straight i play Jazz.

as shown by the mission Cortana the flood couldn't take over the body of an ODST, there was a dead ODST on that level that the infection forms couldn't take over. unlike all the other dead bodies

Yes they are, they have 15minutes of air, when in vaccum. But that dosent mean anything, even the MJLONIR armour could be penetrated and the wearer infected, as it almost happend to the Master Chief in Halo: The Flood

  • 07.09.2009 1:26 PM PDT

They can still hurt like a beast though. Even the Master Chief had a bad experiance with an infection form before.

  • 07.09.2009 1:26 PM PDT

they actually aren't sealed, they are just heavy duty cloth with heavy duty armor.
And anything can get infected by flood

Yeah, that's a good point as well.

I guess it all really depends on how strong their armor is. I mean the Flood are able to gnaw through Master Chief's armor once his shields are down. Therefore, I bet they can infect ODSTs as well.

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

same as every other marine/ODST/elite: take the first one, get infected by the second.

a cookie if you can find an ODST to be infected by the flood.

Keep in mind however, that there is the possibility that it's only a glitch.

you cant flood dont even try infecting them iv tryed trust me........like the master chiefs body they just walk other it

  • 07.09.2009 1:38 PM PDT

The suits are airtight, flood infection forms can't infect them. But I imagine; if this was real life, a Tank form would just crack the suit and the ODST would be infected.
