Two wise young men meet at the top of a mountain and futally attempt to push each other off while the third, much older, wise man, that was first to the top, watches. After hours of struggle a victor was decided. As the victor turns to him, too tired to fight more, and the wise old man begins his climb on another hill far above the hill he recently occupied. The victor is left bewildered and lacks the energy to climb further. The wise man and the older wise man were now in their rightful places.

They've been mentioned multiple times so I think its safe to assume they will be in the game doing stuff. What do you think it will be?

They were mentioned in the Vidoc and at least once before but the S.I. has control of them.

YEAH I herd that too. It really stuck out. Maby that means we can drive most vehicles.

The thought of commandeering a garbage truck makes me smile :)

Its been said that ODST will contain a vehicle somewhat like a elephant you can drive in the city to get around faster.
If its a elephant, then that's just awesome.

I speak the truth, and truth speaks itself.
The lies disguise what you despise.
Run. Flee and be, what you've always dreamed.
What happens now won't matter later.
What you see will not be, nor what you imagine will not happen.
The end is close, so take your dose.

you walk faster than elephants, so not an elephant.

Buck said we could commandeer the garbage trucks, meaning drive them. Epic.

Some interviewer jokingly mentioned the elephant as a transport possibility to Joseph Staten, and he replied that (not exact quote) "you have no idea how close you actually are." Plus the fact that the garbage trucks can be controlled by the superintendent and have been mentioned in a few separate videos about the game. I'm pretty sure they're going to be in it somehow.

In the ODST ViDoc, Nathan Fillion (Buck) says about their ability to commandeer garbage trucks. Maybe they will be in it.

The Garbage truck will go faster because it doesn't have a Crane, two turrets, and a Video Screen mounted to it.

Think for a second. Do you really think he was serious? If i said "hell, i've got enough pancakes to feed all of africa for 2 years", does that mean i'm going to feed all of africa for 2 years? No. It does not. It was a figure of speech.

I dont think we will be able to drive them but I think they will have some part in ODST
