I hated in Halo ODST that the ODST could rip off turrets from their mounts. Everytime I read for halo 3 or something about Spartans doing it, it says that spartans are so strong that they can rip em off and become a human turret themselves, yet here we got these smaller, normal human soldiers doing the exact same thing as if it was no big deal. and it was all for gameplay but it made me feel not human at all in the game which bungie said was what they were going for.

Who else thinks this was completely retarded??

Don't hate... ...loathe.

I think we all do. Bungie said they knew it was not consistant but did it anyway because it was so much more fun.

Yes, Bungie did inform us that Spartans had the strength to rip a Stantionary Turret from its stand, and an ODST could not; I was also disappointed when my ODst character could do the same..

But there are two ways to look at it:

1 - It's a Game; Bungie can do whatever they want to it.

2 - Perhabs the Slip-Space Rupture blast weakened the mounts for the turrets, making it easy for an ODST, or anyone of lesser strength than a human to rip it off from the stand...Mm ?

I am in awe of your logic.

I respect your opinion, I'm probably just going to disagree with it.

It was basically to make the game fun. Besides, it was an expansion as opposed to an entirely new game, so removing many of the new 'Halo 3' features would have been counter productive.

Still, the could have done something like replace the HMG model with the old GPMG style model from Halo 2. At least that would've made more sense.

why shouldn't a human who has been trained to the the best in the UNSC (aside form spartans of course) not be able to rip a turret off of its flimsy stand that shouldn't be able to support the turret in the first place???

What makes you think the ODST armor doesn't have any mechanical enhancements?

We have exoskeletons in development already. Just think what they could have 500 years from now.

ODST's seem to be able to carry around Spartan Lasers and Rocket Launchers fine. I'm sure a turret isn't that much heavier. As for ripping it off, don't look at it like that. Look at it like the ODST is simply detaching it from the stand.

If they can flip a Warthog, they can rip off a turret from it's mount.

Best glitch of all time! Seeing a grunt flip a vehicle.

I think its more about technique than strength, you just got to know how to rip it.

I like to play firefight but without MM it's kinda tough to find people who also like to play it semi-regularly. So if you are looking for someone to play with send me a FR. I have all the vidmaster achievements but don't have a problem in helping out...especially if you are doing endure. SC

Good point... however, it would kill some gameplay. I was surprised when I was in Firefight and could just tear off a turret (like many of you were).

I was also surprised that I could flip a warthog... as I was totally expecting to see the team of marines right next to me to push it over (or something).

Anywho.. whatever, it's a game.

I like the idea of technique or the fact in the future, we'll probably be able to enhance body armor.
