I hope this wasn't done before. If it was, my apologies in advance. I'm just trying to show a little life in the ODST forum beside the regular, "Deja Vu/Endure Help" threads. Also, I know this may be a little bias since it's in the ODST forum. I'm sorry nothing I can do about that, either. Anway, I prefer Buck's squad. I loved all the characters and I didn't like anybody from Noble Team save Jorge.

Buck's Squad: Many different personalities that evoke emotion

Noble Team: The covenant are on Reach. I'm not concerned or anything, it's not like the planet is about to be wrecked. I repeat, the covenant are on reach.

Need I say more?

Reach had characters??!!


Romeo is the -blam!-. Buck is perhaps the best played character in the Halo series. Dare is layered; aggravated, yet delicate. Dutch isn't bad either.

Micky had like 7 lines. The Rookie had none. At least they didn't take anything away from the game. I don't know what Bungie's justification was for hiring the voice actors who portrayed Noble 6.

Actually, I find that I'm more invincible without pants, which is why I am not wearing any at the moment.

Bucks, they had believable personalities, unlike Noble team.

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

The 7 people who voted for Noble Team need to see doctors... professional doctors, because Noble Team are the single most sterile and boring group of "characters" any video game developer has come out with.

We are timeless, bound as one, we cannot be silenced, as our song lingers on.

True, they actually attempt to emulate Buck's Squad by having a quiet "Hyper Lethal Vector", a comedian who's an accomplished sniper, a leader who talks a lot and looks quite cool and a big tough guy.

I wont insult your intelligence by pointing out which is which ...

I preferred the absolute silence of The Rookie who kicks ass without any genetic augmentations - to the the occasional dull word from Noble Six which is neither funny nor relevant.

Honestly, why can't people share the same opinions you do. Trying to get a Reach fan to believe Reach is a poor excuse for a Halo game or, simply, that Noble Team is a terrible bunch of characters seems impossible. They defend Reach 'till their last breath. Anyway, I agree 100% yet again.

Haha, I know right! :P

I hear the same argument defending Reach every time... "lol adapt noob, k?"

The fact you have to adapt to these changes proves that it's so very different from the other Halo games it's just not funny. I never had to adapt between Halo CE, 2, 3 or ODST. They all kept the same core gameplay, the "golden triangle" of grenades, weapons and melee. Halo 3 disrupted it a bit with equipment, but at least each one had a counter (power drain/regenerator etc) and you had to wait a full minute for it to respawn.

I don't expect to be fighting enemies who can turn invincible at the push of a button, that's just utter rubbish.

There is something about Buck's squad that makes them more human than Noble team, I don't know what it is, they just are. IMO

AFK: Away from Kontroller. Don't do it or you'll get the living crap smacked out of you by the Banhammer. If you disagree with any of this, you are just bad at Mortal Kombat.

Bucks squad has more personality, development and were more human. Easy to relate to, charming even.

Noble Team while cool, you can't really relate to them. They are cliche but most of their deaths were pretty sad. Just throw away characters IMO.
