Kinda like Section 8...?

There is no greater catharsis than arguing on the Flood.

You aren't the first one to think this up, but it's still pretty damn cool of an idea. Although, there should be limited choice of where you land.

" Truth? You will Never know Truth!"

"My tears cannot cover the blood that has been spill."

"I lead my troops into battle. With strong morale and man power, we will overcome the invaders!"

Some people could cheat with that. As in, drop near a flashback or the end of the level.

"They let me pick... did I ever tell you that? Choose whichever Spartan I wanted. You know me. I did my research. Watched as you became the soldier we needed you to be. Like the others you were strong and swift and brave, a natural leader. But you had something they didn't. Something no one saw but me. Can you guess? Luck."
—Cortana to John-117

Good idea.

But, It should be scripted to where you land due to lag, glitching issues, teamkilling.

Also, I don't think in would work in Co-op to well... But in firefight it should work good.

It's not ''your'' idea. It's been proposed many many times already.

So in other words a complete rip-off of Section 8's spawning system?


Who says dropping in in a pod is limited to section 8?

Hey who here other than me thinks that in firefight and maybe in co-op campaign, when you die, you respawn in an ODST drop pod and you get to decide where you drop it anywhere in the map. The way you control it would be you would use your right analog stick to shift the pod. It would make it a little more fun than just waiting there for the respawn timer to hit zero. And you could see you're buddies fighting as you're falling which for me personally is pretty cool. What do you guys think?


I see what you're thinking, but some would probably go and spawn themselves behind the enemy, then flank. So it wouldn't be as challenging as; you and a buddy gunning down enemies and almost getting cornered, but then coming back and killing them all.

...Love, love is a blind man's game, you have to look around to know where you are...

I'm against it...

When you apply further thought to it, you must ask yourself the question of where the drop pods go when they land, and what if they block passages that further your progression? With that much animation and memory applied to what could be a simple respawn, would it be worth it? What happens if you land on one of your teammates? What happens if you drop in front of a chieftain or hunters? With such an animation, what glitches are bound to happen?

In all honesty, it sounds theoretically good, but if it were to be actually implemented, it could catastrophically alter game play for the worse...

This is so true that's is why i think that you spawn inside a pelican in safe zones where enemies can't go to but you can't stay or go back to cuz it would be cheatin' for firefight only though

honestly here is my veiw if you will of it i belive its good but you should have a small circle around each ODST teammate to where you drop into hell feet first

Hi peoplz

Great idea thought it could lag if more than 2 people spawn at once.

Stupid Idea, would create lag and then what? The ODST's Drop pod simply disappears?

No, the spawning system is fine as it is and all the Drop Pods would do is cause problems.
