By the power of truth, I, while living, have conquered the universe.

If you played ODST you would notice that ODST's have shields too so you cant say that
No they don't.
A) It's stamina.
B) It's only for gameplay purposes.
and also The ODST training is only ONE step of training before the spartan training. ALL Spartans go through ODST training first before they even start the spartan training
Biggest load of bollocks I've ever heard in this thread. Spartans do Spartan training from age 6 onwards, go read Fall of Reach and Ghosts of Onyx, ODSTs are not trained to the point where it's boarderline torture.
so you could say, ODST's are mini Spartans.
No, you couldn't.
And also...when you play Halo ODST you would notice, you could do everything that Chief could do in halo.
A) Again, gameplay reasons, not canon. -_-
B) Dual wield? Use equipment? I don't think so...
And not even that, ODST's armor looks WAY cooler :P
That obviously makes them better soldiers.
