Bullfrogs
From Halopedia, the Halo wiki
Template:Infobox Military Unit The Bullfrogs are a unit of Orbital Drop Shock Troopers specializing in the use of portable jump-jets. During the Fall of Reach, the Bullfrogs were deployed to the surface of Reach to conduct raids and direct action strikes in New Alexandria, attacking unsuspecting Covenant forces from the skies with the use of jet packs. The Bullfrogs helped SPARTAN-B312 secure an executive landing pad for use in the evacuation of the city.[1]
Trivia
- Though the ODST as a whole are heavily inspired by the Mobile Infantry from Robert Heinlein's novel Starship Troopers, the Bullfrogs show particularly strong influence through their extensive use of jetpacks. The Bullfrogs even refer to the use of jetpacks as "bouncing", a term used in the same context in the book.
- Despite being trained in the use of jetpacks, a Bullfrog will never use his jetpack except when programmed to do so in specific locations. Because of this, it is common for a player to have lost several members of his fireteam to falling by the end of the mission. Similarly, they often jump into large groups of Covenant forces and are quickly killed.
