so no more warthog and elephant flipping, jumping high, strong melee, duel wield, no more being called HERO, no sword, no gravity hammer, not being able to be called MIA...so what if you are driving a warthog and it flips?

Maybe you'll learn to drive like a resonsible marine instead of just flipping it every two seconds.

There is no greater catharsis than arguing on the Flood.

You can flip a wharthog as an ODST, because you can defy physics!

Also, you can use all the weapons still, contrary to how Bungie initially announced how everything would play out.

umm...lets see, war games=explosions, impact force, strong melee attacks from hunter and brutes, and since craters from explosions every where its hard to drive

Again they never said you can't flip your warthog back over, not everything has to be 100% case if that the case not even a Spartan can flip a tank back over.

I don't think flipping vehicles over has anything to do with strength in Halo...

no gravity hammer


there is a grav hammer... watch 1 of the firefight vids(i think its the e3 1) one of the players is wearing 1 on his back as a secondary wep

why are you looking at this?

most of those things would be possible in firefight, but not campaign.

well in the books it states that even the all mighty cheif has trouble with a warthog so i think its a noncanon game feature.

I have a feeling that you will be able to flip small vehicles, such as the Mongoose or Ghost with no trouble, but what if they allow us to flip larger vehicles with the support of a teammate? Is the campaign even going to be coop...?

Also you will likely be able to in firefight, if firefight even has vehicles that are usable by ODSTs. That is, consider you can break off and use a detached turret in firefight for obvious reasons.

Campiagn Kill Count :31,745. And growing.

The Revisionaries- One of the greatest screenshot groups on B.net. With 250 members and growing.

From what I've seen in gameplay videos, Bungie did a terrible job of making you try to feel like a weak human instead of a Spartan. The guy was still running around and jumping and beating down Brutes like crazy. It looked like he was playing Halo 3 with a VISR and high gravity. And some new guns.. he'd better have been playing on easy. I wouldn't be surprised if they let you flip vehicles like normal.

I think it's be cool if for heavier things you needed more ODSTs to help you.. 2 for a hog, 4 for a tank, ect..

"Apparently people don't like the truth, but I do like it; I like it because it upsets a lot of people. If you show them enough times that their arguments are bull-blam!-, then maybe just once, one of them will say, 'Oh! Wait a minute I was wrong.' I live for that happening. Rare, I assure you."-Lemmy of Motorhead

Yes, I'm the guy who had the Flood admit to being furries.

You'll still be able to flip vehicles. For gameplay purposes.

A Scorpion is 66 tons. That's 132,000 pounds. Realistically, not even a Spartan could lift that weight. Much less an Elephant. It's jsut gameplay so you'll still be able to do that in ODST if the event occurs.

You are still a hero, just not as steroidic or given as much ability. But you still got your smarts, right?

They were playing on easy, and likely had cheats on to make them harder to kill. It's not good publicity to die at the first group of enemies.
