Subject: ODSTs in Reach (No seriously, read this)

Look to the chick (it looks like a woman, anyway) on the far right in the header of the forum. That's an ODST helmet. And we all know the funky helmets from H3 MP haven't been confirmed as canon yet. Look at the way the visor is quite big...

SEE?!?!?!

Plus, those are helmet cams on the middle and centre right soldiers. Aren't those built into the Marine Corpsmen's helmets. But not in SPARTANs'?

Indeed. the only person in the banner more likely to be a Spartan than an ODST is the far left one.

I will track you down, and pay you $20 if that Spartan is not Linda.

I assure you it is. If there is an ODST, it's not her.

And I agree, but I don't think there are any in the banner.

Well if you read the latest OXM thats about ODST, they said they asked if ODST had anything to do with Reach. CJ Cowen (I think thats what his name is.) said that one of the ODST's are from Reach. So you can read about it in this months OXM.

well you owe him 20 bucks, the spartan are spartanII's but there the second wave of them which doesn't include any of the spartan in the books. Don't believe me? Spartans only went to service tag 175 or 150 i forget but the second wave had a few hundred more spartan in the trailer for reach it mentions spartan-259 and if the books don't feature a spartan 259 when they were at reach UNLESS he was one of the unnamed spartan in the book and if the game follows a different storyline than first strike then it can't be Linda.

As for the ODST I think it might be one. that would be cool spartans and ODST working together in a campaign

She was.

It's unlikely Bungie would do a Halo game (Not an expansion) without the Chief, especially when it's focusing on Reach, which is the beginning of his life.

You don't even have to read the books to think that the middle one is John. James I don't know.Posted by: Babble_King

I wouldn't think of Bungie to bring in some more story line, people we're not familiar with. Because to be honest here, lots of fans would love to play as Linda and the other Spartans John was with.
Yes I didn't understand Spartan 259, but I still believe it is the first set of Spartans.

Lol John beat up an ODST when he was young =P

I've got tale that's never been told. Get to grips and handle your soul, 'cause I've got a tale that's never been told.

It's entirely plausible that there are ODST in the game. The setting is on Reach, which (correct me if I'm wrong) was a main ship yard and training area for the UNSC. So in theory you could be a normal Marine, or an ODST, or a Spartan. Is it guaranteed, probably not. But it is plausible.

  • 08.29.2009 5:24 PM PDT

Yes odst's may be in reach but there were 5 main spartans....John,kelly,linda,fred,sam those were a team that did missions togeather like the assault on the rebels

  • 08.29.2009 5:58 PM PDT

John killed/incapasitated 3 odst's when he was 14

*Neuvostoliiton hajoaminen oli vain showta
*Saksa on löytänyt uuden tavan vallata Eurooppa ilman yhtäkään panssarivaunua

It could be Spartan-259 that is in the middle of the banner because he was on the ground during the battle with other Spartans that were also with him as he told over the radio.

I would just forget John and Linda at the moment unless the game has any part after the events of Alpha Halo.

The onyl thing is, if they aren't a second class of Spartans, it is entirely IMPOSSIBLE for them to be Spartans.

All Mark 4, 5 and 6 Spartan armor are almost indistinguishable from eachother, and you most definitely cannot see differences from a shadow.

The onyl PErson in that picture that could be wearing MJOLNIR armor is the one on the far left.

  • 08.29.2009 6:12 PM PDT

Were all assuming its buck or dare and all the people in the reach picture are spartans im pretty sure about it except maybe not the one on second left

  • 08.29.2009 7:11 PM PDT

Signatures are for squares.

The ODST "armor" we see in Halo 2/3/ODST wasn't invented, or put into service, until after Reach fell. There was ODST's on Alpha Halo although they didn't have this fancy armor we have now.

Enlighten me then on how ODST can be used in halo wars 20 years before halo?

Have you ever looked at the ODST's in Halowars? They don't wear all that armor, they are just slightly advanced marines. They still used HEV pods.

Who said Sierra-259 was a Spartan?

Uh the books did, and the early spartans did not have the mljonir armor to begin with. The suits weren't the only thing keeping them alive. It were their skills.

*credit goes to hunkyandrich for the picture*

Here you go

I can certainly see what you mean, but I don't think it's an ODST helmet. There's a possibility that it'll be a new helmet that Bungie gives us to satisfy the 5-year olds who need new aesthetics to survive.

Thats because its an RTS game the characters are all poorly rendered so the game runs smoothly, the only characters that look good are the vehicles and covenant infantry.
