The Halo 2 renders page has been updated with a new image showing off the intimidating ODSTs that will join your fight against the Covenant. The render gallery contains various 3D models and wireframes that are created during the development of Halo 2. This particular shot is taken in-engine, but it's technically not a screenshot since it's not an actual gameplay moment.

You can check out the ODST pic HERE.

If you've read any of the Halo novels (which you definitely should do!) then you already know a little bit about these soldiers. The Orbital Drop Shock Troopers (also known as "Helljumpers") are more or less the UNSC equivalent of an Airborne Ranger. This all-volunteer outfit has a rep for being a tad bit crazy, but have to be in order to strap yourself into a HEV (Human Entry Vehicle) and be shot out of a ship, through the atmosphere, to a hostile environment below. Suffice it to say these guys are tough and can kick plenty of Covenant butt.



*this one goes out to you, Ross.

Very Nice. Hey whats up with the guy holding the sub-machine gun on the right? Does the sub-machine gun have a collapsable stock? Here it is extended and on the new screen shot the brown Spartan has it closed.

opps. My bad. The ages old render of the sub-machine gun says it has a colapsible stock. I wonder how this is going to work. Perhaps one handed its opens for more accuracy. Anyways I hope these guys fight better than the marines in Halo : )

"I'm just a glorified extra." -Guy, Galaxy Quest

Yes it does - take a look at the renders Bungie has on the site right now - there should be a description of one that says "SMG w/ collapsible stock"

Who's Ross? Cool ODST's. I'm absolutely hooked. The last game that I played this much was Battletank on Intelevision. I know, old school, but I'll still take on any of you grunts. I began playing three months ago and I can't stop. It's a passion. The suspense of HALO 2 is killing me but at least you're teasing us with bits and pieces. Great stuff, thanx

I have been waiting all the past year for this burst of screen shots to come out....Thank you so much. The only thing that could beat these everyday updates is if the game came out on the 20th Keep it up bungie....this site is so much better, and this way maybe u guys will read messages
