If anyone read halo books odst are lethal spartans. They go in quick and silent. They are dropped from ships.

Well, they're the closest thing to a Spartan without being a Spartan in the Halo universe. They're definitely hardcore, just not as hardcore.

lol @ Kionic. As someone mentioned, they aren't spartans. Better edit your comment before you make yourself look like a fool. You also don't need to read the books to know what they are.

odst have NOTHING to do with the spartans. The spartans are superior in every way. The spartans only aren't as stealthy because that's how bungie designed the games. The ODST are sort of similar to the navy seals, or the SAS.

the ODSTs aren't Spartans, not even close. The Spartans are part of a special project where children were trained and genetically modified to be some supreme warriors. There were 2 or 3 Spartan projects (can't remember), and with each project, the quality of the Spartans produced dropped (armor quality, training) to get more Spartans on the field faster.

The Spartans aren't just more lethal than the ODSTs, they are totally superior, MasterChief, in one of the books, dominates a few ODSTs on him without breaking a sweat. I'm not too sure on how Bungie will handle the ODSTs, since in the books, they aren't really shown in a good light.

Just own up to it Kionic. You made a mistake and move on. I'm not trying to be a d*ck, but you just made it seem like you were knowledgeable on the subject and got caught with your pants down. I don't understand why people don't own up to their mistakes. There's that saying, the first step into correcting your mistakes is to admit you made them.

Halo ODST - Over Done Shooter Title

overrated douchebag shooter title

kidding about the douchebag, serious about the overrated :)

Hopefully reviewers don't get sucked in and rate on the hype this time round, unless of course it derserves a good score which I hope it does. How halo3 scored so highly is beyond me though. It really was lacking compared to other FPS.

You might have thought it was lacking, but I don't agree at all. Halo 3 is even today one of the best shooters on any console. It seems a lot of reviewers felt the same way.

Apparently thats what makes a title these days SO GREAAAAAT.

maybe. I am a gameplay over graphics person but I do like to see amazing graphics. There are already alot of halo3 fans out there so i dunno if graphics is an issue. In my case, I thought Halo:CE was amazing, it did things that no other console shooter had done before. The gameplay was top notch. I just feel halo3 had lost its originality and cutting edge fun gameplay. Fair play to those who enjoy it though.

Nothing wrong with the gameplay but i hear a lot of gamers who mutter about the graphics while playing it.

lol

But you know what`s not surprising? It does`nt stop them from playing it everyday.

Come on guys, the graphics aren't that bad at all. In fact, they are pretty good overall. If you can enjoy a game like Resistance or FEAR you can certainly enjoy a game like Halo 3.

Halo 3 has above average textures and really outstanding HDR lighting. It looks better to me than Resistance and I still enjoy Resistance from time to time.

Besides, graphics don't mean much if the gameplay isn't good. And Halo 3 has excellent gameplay.

14 - I've read all the books
ODST's are NOT Spartans

They are top-notch badass marines - kinda like Hudson/Hicks etc from 'Aliens'

They are also referred to as 'helljumpers' because of the way they get to a planets surface.

S.A.S with a line in crude comedy if you will = ODST's

I'm asking myself the same thing. That article is atrocious. It consists of two sentences, both of which use horrible grammar... ... and I believe the correct spelling is 'jargon' not 'jargin'.
