In my opinion, playing Halo 2 Champaign with the ODST sucked. We did not get much of a chance to play along side the ODST. And when you did, they just seemed like marines with different suits. Not the way I think it should be at all. They should be bigger, stronger and able to hold their own. They are the toughest marines there is to offer and I felt like the only way to play along side them, was to fight to keep them alive, just like your stupid marines.

If you wont give us spartans. At least give us a decent ally.

ODST (Orbital Drop Shock Troopers) *thanks

Just reload the AI program from Halo. At least back then they sort of knew when to flank, stay back, or advance. In Halo 2, they try to advance no matter whan unless there are enemy turrets in the area. If there are no turrets, they will charge straight into a Covenant camp without thinking because their busted-ass AI tells them to gain ground at all costs.

Adding more Spartans into the game would be sweet. But it is probably unlikely that they will make it into the next game.

However the ODST made it into the game but they sucked big time, Due to sucky AI and lack of Size, speed and strength. They should be able to hold their own and work more as a team then your other Marines!

I agree with you on the AI. I felt that the AI was smarter in Halo CE compared to Halo 2. Espically when it came to Elites. AI needs to be improved all around

I do not want more spartans in the campaign. I just wouldn't like it because you're suppose to be the "only spartan left" in the game. Arn't you? Correct me if i'm wrong I don't know much about this game anymore... I just think there should be the helljumpers, or whatever they are called, (the guys with the cool helmet/uniform). Not any of those other marines...

What i'm trying to say is... No spartans in the campaign mode... Please... Yes for Xbox live and all, that's at least fun.

Now here's a weird question.... who are the crazy looking marines with the jet packs in the 'Making of the E3 trailer", super ODSTs ?

We don't know who they are. But the need for better support will be greatly needed if the scale of the game is going to be much larger then in Halo CE and Halo 2. So the Marine and ODST AI needs to step up and hold their own. Like they were with the first Halo 2 gameplay preview.

I also concur. I remeber a demo in which a bunch of pinned down marines fretted over incoming Covenant, while the ODST's calmly stated "Enemies, right." and wiped them out by themselves.

Also: ODST stands for Orbital Drop Shock Troopers....

I think that the only thing left on earth would be the most BAMF ever. ODST's

But I would like to see Bungie make some hints or references to other Spartans.

But I don;'t know about you. But I thought the Level: Delta Halo.
It was really awesome to fight along the ODST's and I thought they were a lot more effective than just the simple marines. More HP or something I guess.

Yeah but they were not smarter or anything. They are suppose to be kick ass. Like doing pile drivers and DDT's on grunts and what not.

marine AI should be improved all around, but especially with the ODSTs. i agree that they should be better than the standard worthless marine


Better? They should be the next best thing next to a Spartan or should I say Master Chief?

indeed, they should be much better than the standard marine, but they are still nothing compared to a spartan


True that.

But they didn't live up to their names in halo 2. Which is why I made this post/complaint.
