its all fun and games until someone gets hurt--Then its more fun and games!
"you're a dumb ass liberal robot" -Paul Marv (to me)
odst's are just heavily trained sucidal navy troops who have no genetic engineering or implants like spartans. They have worse armor and relfexes, and are a lot less strong. so odsts do not equal spartans, in the Halo :Reach, Master cheif kills 8 ODST's easily, and still while getting used to MJOLNIR armor, which shows how much better spartans are.
