It bugs me that everyone says ODST armour. I thought only Spartans have armour. Armour means some sort of metal covering or some kind of hard protective material, right? It seems like ODST's wear suits, not armour.
Sorry, it's just me that feels this way. I don't think ODST's or any other human beings are strong enough to wear an armoured suit.

How's it going?

Lets not get technical...

"I'm afraid of the man I'll become if I lay my life down for the people I don't even care for"

I think the ODST armour has movement assistance, but not as strong as the spartans mjolnir armour,

...Modern day soldiers wear "armour", its just anything to stop bullets, splosions etc. It doesn't literally have to be like a mega thick titanium 5-foot bunker suit.

Check out the group, Planet Reach and talk about Bungie's next game without the annoyance of the public forum. Oh and it's nice there too.

You thought you had lag, it took Jesus 3 days to re-spawn.

Armor also means any kind of protective covering. So if you use that definition, they do wear armor.

Do you see the tigers too?!?!?

of coursee humans cant wear armour...even though humans wore armor in themiddle ages...

  • 07.31.2009 10:31 PM PDT

Hush. If you’re quiet enough, you can hear it on lips of unborn babes.

Wow really?

No...armor is anything that protects you that you wear. Modern day armor is cloth.

and, even if it was only metal, look at the ODST's, what do you think they're wearing?? PLASTIC?? have you LOOKED at any of their pictures.

and you say calling it armors annoying, no stupid ignorant people are annoying.

Condisering you can make compoud clothes using Light-Titanium Grade-A sewing, mixed with Carbon Firbe or even Diamond plating?
All still being lightwieght, and considering the Halo-based Universe is 500 years from now?

No. They definatly will have good armour.

The way the ceramic is layered like shingles helps to disperse the energy over a greater area. The cloth isn't really helping to stop the bullet. Just saying. I'll stop dragging this off topic now. Sorry about that.

As a great man has said before "..." That is where the truth lies my friends

Armor=Protective clothing, Meaning anything you wear that protects you from something, like winter wear protects you from the elements, and the Horse Shoe protects you from ghosts.

Haha. Stretching it with the horse shoe example.

And Xemnex, yes, I tend to do that. It sometimes can come off as me being an ass. That's why I apologized.

Then he is malevolent. Is he both able and willing?Then whence cometh evil?Is he neither able nor willing?
Then why call him God?"

Yes they do have armor look at Mickey,Buck(ect) they all have armor and, you said "some sort of metal covering or some kind of hard protective material" so look at the chest armor and the shoulders, IT'S ARMOR!

Good day sir!

Work Harder! Millions on welfare depend on you!

You're from the US and spell armor that way?

And if it protects you, I guess that'd be classified as armor, right? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Armor
