If ODST are better than marines which have more experience on the battlefield.
why would the UNSC send marines instead of ODST's?

It's the prestige that makes the illusion.

Give an example.

ODSTs are a special forces and there are fewer. Marines are in a larger supply, that is Marines are sent more often.

Well he summarised everything other wise you would of been hearing a echo as me saying marines are big in numbers but Odst's are few with the special training and are highly valuble asset.

ODST squads are only used in special tactical operations or recon missions, it would be stupid for the marines if they couldn't fight the intergalactic war.
If i would be a marine i would kick some covie ass.
They both do their part of the War.

I DO have time to bleed...i just dont want to.

because mariens are less expensive and more expendible and they do send loads of odsts in. odsts are more for stealth missions and shock tactics

i highly doubt youd "kick some covie ass" have you any idea how tall some of the covinant are? grunts are around 4 feet i think, jackals are 5 feet, eliets are 8 feet,bruts a a bit taller than eliets i think, spartans are 7feet and hunters are 12 feet. thats like the hight of an avrage room
i know spartans arent coventant but i just put there hight in ther for the sake of it

Spartans never die there just getting a mission brief from God

ODSTs are like the SAS of Halo.

ODSTs by far.

The Marines are the main soldiers used for battle, the ODSTs are only used for special missions.

Pioneer and Enthusiast for Halo 3.

ODST's are fewer in number, however they have much more strategy on the battlefield. It's like the 300 Spartan army VS 'whateverthehellthisarmyiscalled.'

If you take about the team of ODST's and put them up against about 500 marines; ODST's have a pretty good chance of surviving. However, why the HELL would you go UNSC vs UNSC?

Oh gee, why don't they send more spartans with MC?

Because they're few.

ODSTs are special forces, there are far less ODSTs than there are marines.
