In Halo: The Flood it mentions the ODST's with having an eye piece on their helmets, this sounds the same as the regular marines in Halo: Combat Evolved. It confuses me, can someone tell me why this is? User:Joshua 029

The reason is sometime between Halo 1 and 2, the amour is changed into body suits.-- never ending-summer My personal COM chanel 07:09, 9 May 2007 (UTC)

Is it just the 105th that are called "Helljumpers"? I was under the impression (although I'd have to head to a library and check out the earlier books) that the term "Helljumpers" applied to all ODSTs.
 * "Helljumpers" is the name of all ODSTs, but the 105th Division is the only one that we have read about in the books. -ED 02:37, 24 February 2007 (UTC)

Mental instability
In one of the books (I forget) it mentions that ODSTs are slightly wacko as a result of being dropped from space in a sealed coffin to the surface of the planet. I think it's in the Fall of Reach - I'll dig out my copy sometime and add a bit to the article.Andrew-147 21:58, 4 February 2007 (UTC)
 * Yeah, it just said a person would have to be crazy to volunteer to do that. -ED 02:37, 24 February 2007 (UTC)

HellJumpers
HellJumpers are applied to all ODSTS because since the HEVS have a thin shell the heat of the friction it's almost 'like hell'.

I don't really think that's what "Helljumpers" mean. -Blemo 04:54, 12 April 2007 (UTC)


 * I'm with Blemo on this one, it states in the books the nickname was coined do to their motto "Feet first into hell". -Ergna-

It does actually say in "The Flood" that part of the reason they're called Helljumpers is because of the extreme heat when they drop in their HEV's. However in Fall of Reach it also says it's related to their motto, which is related to the HEV pods in which they drop, which heats up like hell...you're both right -- Rokrin

SAS
is it safe to say that the ODST are the future equivilent of the british S.A.S just with better stuff. User:Kami-Sama
 * will someone answer my question please User:Kami-Sama

Actually, they're based on the US Navy SEALS. but they're probably up there with the best, like the | NZSAS =D. -- SpecOps306 19:46, 10 March 2007 (UTC)

They seem more like the 101st Airbone (Not Spec Ops) to me...--User:JohnSpartan117 03:30, 10 May 2007 (UTC)

If you ask me, their a combination of US Army Rangers, US Marines, AND US Navy SEALS. (CommanderTony)

Peh, if you ask me there not based on anything, thier role is to plumit to earth it metal box's sound fimiler?, plus the SAS has a wide veriety of roles most of which kept secret -- Climax-Void   Chat  or  My Contributions

they are described in the books as being an elite force, reminiscent of the Navy SEALS and Marine Corps of the US today. but don't discount the SAS either, because they are also the elite, and are also trained to deal with almost every kind of environment or scenario, like the ODST's and SEALS.  Kora ‘Morhekee   The Battle-Net  My Conquests.  23:16, 4 August 2007 (UTC) If this is true then we also can't leave out Delta Force either, since they're US SpecOps team of sorts, and apparently basically the same as the SAS -- Rokrin


 * whatever they are, I think speak for most people when I say THEY RAWK HARD AND KICK ASS! Leonidas-300 04:50, 27 August 2007 (UTC)

Space
Does the ODST armor provide the abbality to breath in space? In the level Cario Station you can see dead ODSTs near space. I just want to know. (Spartan 104 Raido Spartan 104 What Binsetti Could of Done 19:36, 17 March 2007 (UTC))


 * It looks contained, so maybe. -- Dragonc laws ( talk ) 00:02, 18 March 2007 (UTC)


 * Maybe that's why they were dead? -- SpecOps306 00:49, 12 April 2007 (UTC)

No, actually, everytime you head out into space, you will encounter ODSTs and enemies, like Elite Rangers. Maybe they killed them, because ODSTs are not dumb enough to walk into space knowing their armor cannot support them. -  Blemo   Talk   Contributions

True --Captain Jacob Rathens 21:11, 25 April 2007 (UTC)

I really think that ODSTs are really smarter than that. -  Blemo   Talk   Contributions 04:19, 17 May 2007 (UTC)

The answer is yes it can. Look at the body suit page which is what the ODST's wear.

Why does the image keep geting changed to a marine?

'Cause someone doesn't get that it isn't supposed to be a marine... dude, when it keeps getting changed back, you're doin' somethin' wrong! Just like on MJOLNIR Armor, where it kept getting change to that MC is wearing the "new" Mark VI... no, it's possibly Mark VII!!! g ü é ß Ł ¥ -π é Ґ ∫ ø <font color="#000066">ñ <font color="#000000">¥ -<font color="#000000">† <font color="#007700">ħ <font color="#00cc00">î <font color="#00ff00">И <font color="#44ff44">g <font color="#99ff99">¥  08:33, 10 June 2007 (UTC)

Neill Blomkamp's video
Are the soldiers seen in that short made by Blomkamp supposed to be ODSTs?--Darth Oblivion 20:11, 14 September 2007 (UTC)

Thanks for edit
Thank you to whoever fixed my bad captions! I'm really new at this; that was my first edit.

Halo: Last Standing ODST
Hi, I managed to find a high-res ODST picture from the 405th site. I am not claim responsibility but do ask them if you can use it for the Halopedia site. Here you go: ODSTs from the Live Action

Actually, nevermind, I found them at: Halo.Bungie.Org

Yeah, we've already got those ^^ --Ajax 013 12:26, 25 October 2007 (UTC)

Where?
