Wouldnt it be cool if you could parachute into battle along with a team of ODSTs, and you were able to control your fall (direction, speed, etc) and navigate where you land (seeing fellow marines falling along beside you)? Maybe a little too much for an FPS, but Bungie could make it cool. What do you think?

No, itd be the exact same thing as when you jump off a ledge for fun in Halo 1 and try to land of a certain ledge before you die or whatever. I spent a lot of time just messing around with the vehicles going off cliffs and jumping down chasms and stuff. You can still control your fall slightly.

From what I recall, several Spartan died in First Strike after falling to Reach with no paracute. Doesn't sound like a wise idea to me. Besides, ODST, the UNSC's version of paratroopers, don't use paracutes. They are shot out of spaceships like a bullet in a drop capsule.( Like the Elites at the end of the E3 demo in 03' ) I'm sure you new that though?

ya, i think it would be cool though to do it like they do it in first strike, because it would be a challenge trying to survive

Play as a team win as a team or die as a team!



OK 1 thing I never read a Halo book. So i read that people are saying that in First Strike or something that the Spartans jumped off the Pelican about 10,000 feet or more in the air. How the hell are u going 2 be alive after that I don't care what armor or u land in the water it doesn't matter if u have don't have a parachute and u fall down that high ur done!!! Unless Spartans drink their milk and get strong bones!! LoL
And where did the other Spartans come from I read that there were like 5 left William,Kelly,Linda,John(Master Cheif), some other guy I forgot.

Cool idea. I believe even bungie has thought of something similar at one point in time.

got milk?

lol man dont give away stories of the books!!!!! (nice topic title by the way lol)
anyway i think you will get to see/expierience/watch in amazement at SOME point in the game. Listen to the emphasisiation (is that a word?) they are making on the ODST, releasing a render of them, mentioning them a lot, showing them in E3 demo numerous times (along with that frag and clear sequence)

ODSTs are gonna be awsome! i would LOVE to see ODSTs in multiplayer! w00t!
