The only thing I know is that on Halo PC online, they're nothing but a bunch of loud-mouthed nooblets in a pathetic clan... but you could be talkin' about something different.

ODST: Orbital Drop-Ship Troopers

I'm pretty sure that's what it stands for. They are ejected in pods from orbiting ships down to a planet. They're also known as Helljumpers.

thats because they are just super tough normal guys not like genetically augmented and crap... because ODSTs are probably the toughest guys in the Earth's army...

Orbital Drp Shock Troopers. They are sometimes called Helljumpers because when they have to abandon a ship to a planet, they dont get to take lifeboats. they have to take crappy little pods that arent covered good so when re-entering, it gets really hot. Hence the nickname

I will be restating things that have already been mentioned. ODST's, Orbital Drop Shock Troopers, more colorfully known as 'Helljumpers', are the elite fighting force in the UNSC (this is, obvously, excepting the Spartans). The pods which they use to insert into a combat zone, or evacuate a ship, has only a ceramic skin to keep the Soldier it contains alive, and is known for getting extremly hot while entering atmosphere. Once it lands via parachute (after shedding its ceramic skin), the soldier must rendezvous with the commanding officer (I think, they did in 'The Flood'). Each soldier lands with enough supplies and ammunition to keep them fighting for 2 weeks (I think). Also, the pods are very fragile, but if one is shot down, only 1 soldier dies instead of 20, if the insertion was made via a conventional assault barge (A pelican, I'm assuming). The targeting would need to be done by a computer, as well, due to the pods small size. The ODST corps is a volunteer only group, and the men and women who join treat anyone who isn't with them like dirt (including the Spartan, even though they are infinitly superior to the Helljumpers). They have a pre-insertion joke, which goes as follows (roughly, I can't exactly remember): "Get geared, get ready, and shove a cork up your ass" You know what, I think thats totally wrong. Oh well.
