Life's tough... Wear a Helmet.

I am not sure if they are spartans or not because they arent "super" like MC but they wear a spartans helmet; or if im wrong, in Halo 3, spartans wear a soldiers helmet. Im so Confused! I thought ODST's were compared to Seals in the US army.

ODST's are exceptional soldiers hand picked to become "special ops". They are not Spartans.

Spartans have enhanced abilities whilst ODST's are hardened soldiers.

No, they're just top notch marines. Spartans are genetically altered at a young age and are much taller than most marines FYI.

You know those days where you wake up and you just don't want to get out of bed? those days when you drag your feet across the floor like a zombie? yeah, I'm having one of those days.

ODST are like the SAS of the UNSC world while the spartans are like the walking tanks of death in the UNSC world

because its multiplayer...if multiplayer was part of the story then in the halo world there would of been billions of spartans killed and billions of spartans respawned every 5 seconds

To give you more customization options.
ODST's don't wear Spartan variants.

Spartans wear ODST helmets.

Dog carcass in alley this morning, tire tread on burst stomach. This city is afraid of me. I have seen it's true face. The streets are extended gutters and the gutters are full of blood and when the drains finally scab over, all the vermin will drown. The accumulated filth of all their sex and murder will foam up about their waists and all the whores and politicians will look up and shout "Save us!"...

...and I'll look down, and whisper "no."

Just added material for the game.

ODSTs are completely different from Spartans and the game reflects this. Example, ODSTs cannot jump as high as Spartans or dual-wield.

It's not Hip-Hop, its Electro.... prick.
