IN order to known who the ODST are, i suggest that u read the halo books. esp. Fall of Reach, it gives full details about them.

ODST=Orbital Drop Shock Troopers .. They are like Modern day Super Navy seals/delta force They are in halo all the books and so on .. they are not new at all .

Heres a few facts,
As a Whole the ODST HATE Spartans they feel marines should do the fighting
The Orbital Dropshock part is they are launched out of orbiting Spaceships in a Drop pod thingy ... they Enter the Atmospher at like mach 8 or something and temperaters in the pod can read well over 98`C i believe it was ... and basicly when they slow down enough the pod breaks apart and they parashoot down ..
They are the ultimate tough guys John actually has had quite a Few bad incounters with ODST but i wont ruin the Novels for those who haven't read them ..

If you wanna know more keep asking

BTW Epic's right Read the books ... playing halo will be SO MUCH MORE MEANINGFUL when you've read all the books ... little tiny tid bits will stand out and youll wanna beat the game again ... and you'll appreciate the story more .

As said before, they are Orbital Drop Shock Troopers. They enter the atmosphere's of planets via HEV (Human Entry Vehicle). The are an all volunteer outfit and are considered the elite of the UNSC. Reading the Fall of Reach and the Flood would really help you out. The Flood isn't written as well, but it gives a lot of information about who the ODSTs are (primarily in the beginning).
