In the OXM it said he got hit by a gravity hammer in the chest so thats why he was clutching his chest. Sorry if you already knew

where'd u get the mag?

Yeah I read that one in OXM. However, it can't have been a direct blow, or maybe it was the reverse side of the hammer, because I don't think ODST armor could stand up to the full impact of a gravity hammer hit, so if it was a proper hit he probably wouldn't have survived. It also says the other ODSTs finish the chieftain off with knives? So maybe we get knives :)

From what I hear it sounds like it hits his sniper rifle. If it was the back side of the hammer, he'd be more dead. It's got a blade. Also I think Buck is the only one with a knife, and I don't think we'll be able to use em.

Nah, It's okay. You probably didn't know, then.

I thought you made a second thread on purpose to piss me off or something.

Personally, I would say his armor had a greater chance of stopping the blade than the actual gravity blow. And yes, he uses his rifle to partially block the hit - that's why it falls to the street bent - however with a Brute hammer swing being so powerful his chest armor is also said to receive a large amount of damage.

I agree with you now. Hammer > Blade. I'm sure he's going to be messed up.

Either way, you're right. Any hit from a gravity hammer, whether from the hammer end or the blade part is probably going to mess you up :)

Yep, just read the magazine myself. He sort of deserves it for being an -blam!-. I'd hate him if he wasn't the sniper specialist... Grrr!!!

It's on a lot of community maps. Affinity, Think Twice, Abridged...

I meant good maps

The ODSTs in Halo 3 all had knives on them. So this could be! The only problem would be how to use them, as Bungie already released the controls.
