Alright when i played the level Delta Halo on campaign mode. I actually saw a ODST Marines and they werent dead for once. I was like awesome I heard these guys are the best of the best. I was playing on Legendary so I needed all the support I needed. 2 min, into the level my Orbital Drop Shock Troopers were all dead and they acted like my typicall marine.

If you read in the books the ODST marines are huge muscular Spec Ops Marines that are able to hand fight grunts and jackels. In Legendary I know everyone gets angry when all there marines die and there fighting alone. Well my opineon is to give the ODST more AI. I want to see them totally spray a covenant position with out dieing. I also want to see them BR a Covenant Elite in the head like we all do. I want the ODST marines to act they way they are told in the books. Hand fight grunts and take on Elites in a firefight and come out alive. Your typicall marine would follow you into combat shoot a couple rounds of his SMG or Battle Rifle. and get killed by a plasma pistol in 5 shots. I think the ODST should move with speed shoot with deadly accuracy and help you own covenant positions without having the thought of losing your whole squad. If you have 10 ODST unites on Legendary with you. At least make 2 or 3 come out alive.

So do you agree with better AI for the ODST Marines???

Yes but you also have to remember on the books it's not talking about legendary mode. Also ODST's are badasses. And Plasma is really hot and I think that any human would have problems withstanding plasma unless they are spartans.

have you ever seen a marine use a grenade, i havent except in the original Halo once.


I have. Nearly every time the grenade hit an object and bounced right back at us. Said grenade then caused me to have to revert to my last checkpoint.

The same thing happened to me on legendary, i agree with you.

Rawr!

Theoretically, wouldn't Legendary be playing the game like the story said it happened? I mean, seriously... If the whole thing of Halo were real, wouldn't it make more sense if Legendary was as hard as real life, and everything else was just easier?

In the books the plasma shot by the covenant actually melted objects away, unlike in the game if the ODSTs and Covenant were like they were in the book Legendary would be alot harder.

But yes the ODSTs should act better than normal Marines

I agree that they would be weaksauce comapred to plasma weapons, but that doesnt mean that they should be dumbasses when they fight.

I fully agree with the first post.

If you notice, on the back of an ODST marine. You find a huge knife. I wouldny mind seeing him using that fighting a grunt or jackel.

why do ODSTs sound exactly like marines?! I mean, is it that hard to get a new voice actor?

You know... almost all the guys you were accompanied by in Halo 1 were ODST's, bungie just made a new look for them. At least, that is what the books say.

good idea. the AI is already going to be improved for h3 because of the 360. so im thinkng the regular marines will be alot better in combat situations.
