First, let me say: awesome forumn. second, i definetely think that ODST's should be stronger, and smarter. First off, to disprove an earlier claim, ODST's are better than marines in the books. Why? first, yes, they do things that normal marines wouldn't do. Why is that? because they suffer more intense training. Also, ODST's are way more ferocious than normal marines. that alone should make them way better to fight alongside in the game. but that doesn't seem to be the case in halo2. another thing, since the ODST's do have knives in a sheath on their back, they should use them in close range encounters. its a waste to have them if they aren't going to use them. ODST's also have better armor (come on guys, it's full coverage, and can operate in space). In the least, ODST's should play their role in halo 3 properly--AS SHOCK TROOPERS!
