Subject: ODST's have bionic arms?

There's No Problem That Can't Be Solved With An Abundance Of Weed and A Jetpack.

In one of the ODST video's I watched of Firefight gameplay, more than once ODST's ripped the turret off it's stand and carried it around like it was nothing. I doubt a regular human would be able to do that. That turret could easily weigh 200 pounds, plus the sheer force it would take to rip it off the stand. Anyone else see something wrong with that?

I don't see anything wrong with that just because it's FireFight and you being able to rip off the turret and holding a hammer just to help you survive a little longer seems fine to me. What would be the fun of just being able to sit there shooting a turret getting shot at and might die...or staring at a hammer just wishing you could use it.

The fight has been complete.... now get the cookies!

While we certainly share your enthusiasm for the return, we here at the Bungie.net community are mostly made up of snarky asses and jerks who will ridicule you for making a thread about something revealed months ago. We regret that your innocent intentions will almost certainly be replied with anger and sarcasm, and politely invite you to don your Flame-suit, because you just did the internet equivalent of jumping up the Construct lifts.

WTF do you mean a normal human can't hold a turret?! We all perfectly could. The army does too. You fail.

ODST's are the strongest, non-augmented, humans who are part of the UNSC army.
Now. Let's think about this.

200-pound gun. Humans who can lift 350, easy.
Hmmm... That must be impossible!

And they rip off?
There are small latches that keep the Turret on the tripod, but also easily snapped off when pulled in the right way.

fire fight is non canon, therefore the ODSTs can do things that seems a bit unnatural. such as ripping turrets off their mounts, or weilding gravity hammers. In campaign they cannot use those weapons.

I know this is just a game, but they stated oh so many times that ODST's aren't superhuman soldiers like the Spartans. Jesus Christ. No need to be dicks.

Ha, sarcasm, original. Yes, humans can lift 350. But that doesn't count for the recoil of a weapon like that. Seriously, a three-barrel turret shooting that fast is gonna have some serious recoil.

Where not being "dicks". just because ODST arnt super humans doesnt mean they cant hold turrets. Oh wait hold on...ODST's can hold 4 grag, 4 plasma, 4 spike and 4 firebomb granades. masterchief can only 2 of each granade. you wanna "FEMALE DOG" about that to??

Um, sure.

  • 08.05.2009 1:34 PM PDT

i thought it was only 3 of each, plus ODSts have lots of pouches; whereas spartans do not, they only have magnetic strips to hold onto stuff.

Your kidding, right?
ODST's are supposed to be as elite as it gets, next to Spartans.
Their not weak what so ever. I'm sure they can lift 200 pounds easily...

See, this guy isn't a sarcastic -blam!-. Discussion over, this guy helped me out by telling me they can't do that in Campaign.

Go on everyone, disperse to other threads to -blam!- someone else.

It's called adrenaline. It course through your veins giving you unnatural strength in the interest of self-preservation. You'd do it too if a Hunter came at you.

if your going into detail about holding a turret, then im going into GREATER detail.

you can hold a rocket launcher...with 6 rockets, and a spartan laser all at the same time, possibly weighing MORE then the turret....maybe you can hold turret as well. Why dont you moan about this to.

  • 08.05.2009 1:42 PM PDT

Yeah, it's a game, but adrenaline helps too!

First, this only happens in Firefight so it's not canon, second 'It's a -blam-ing video game!'

  • 08.05.2009 1:46 PM PDT

Perhaps the turret has a latch? Oooooooh!

  • 08.05.2009 2:01 PM PDT

Just remember that no matter how terrible you feel, or how much you want to let go, there are people who care about you and love you.

You gotta be -blam!- kidding me.

Anyone can do it, it's not that heavy!
