Subject: Too much stuff?

You are only as sharp as your knife

Is it just me or does the ODST's look like they have too much armor on? They look too bulky to me.Thoughts on why this is?

get out of here stalker

I thought that was their armor in the other games.

How do you think they would drop into a battlefield? With an SMG and four clips?

ODSTs are meant to drop into the field and live for days off the stuff they carry with them out of their drop pod.

What I really want to know is why the ODST suits long known to be sealable and usable in space, are seen in the game with fingerless gloves and exposed skin around the neck. [it can be seen when Dare looks up when they drop in the cinematic]

They were probably gear specifically for their original CQB mission aboard Regret's Carrier thing. You'd need heavier armor if you're inside of a closed area.

this mission wasnt meant for inter-stellar travel, thus they didnt need the fingers on the gloves or the vacuum sealed armor.
