When the Covenant attack the Pillar of Autumn, obviously a lot of people get killed during the intial boarding. Once the survivors escape, people contiue to be killed, but it seems like there is A LOT of marines left. So can someone tell me how many marines were on the Pillar of Autumn before it was attacked. I'm just curious.

"That's about all that can be said for plots, which anyway are just one thing after another, a what and a what and a what.

Now try how and why."

I think it was 24000

Just before the Chief blew up the PoA, there were about 200 ODSTs on the Truth and Reconcilliation, and that's only on that ship!

What the hell? I have never even seen one ODST in Halo: CE.

It was never revealed about ODST armour in HCE, but they did have an emblem on their shoulder armour. There is a rather spiffy piece of artwork of the Chief defending a wounded Marine in CE armour, you can see the ODST emblem on his shoulder.

Also don't forget about the amount of human Flood (or is that just typical videogame stuff were things aren't supposed to make true sense? In reality I think there was supposed to a noticeably huger number of Flood-infected Elites and only a few hundred Flood-infected Marines).
