Talk:ODST armor

The ODSTs in Halo: The Flood wore marine armour from Halo Combat Evolved "The Lieutenant eyed the readout on the transparent boom-mounted eye-screen attached to her helmet," From page 63. This means it was that green transparent eye piece on the marines helmets, but in Halo 2 they wore that black body suit. Can anyone explain to me why that is? User:Joshua 029

Are there any references for anything in this article? I believe the ODSTs appear to be wearing standard Marine armor in The Flood, so where does the description on this page come from?

The disciption on this page comes from: The Fall of Reach, p.79. --Uneven elephant 19:51, 22 May 2007 (UTC)

Marine Armour
Shouldnt somebody put up an article on Marine combat armour? I'll write one, but i'll need some help adding it to Halopedia, because i'm not very...um...computer conscious, if you will.

The marine combat armor varies greatly between games. Personally i feel it is much more futuristic in Halo than in halo 2.

Spartan-II reference
''These suits were used by the Spartans before they received their MJOLNIR armor. They later fell into usage by the ODSTs and other special forces.''

Is this true? Can anyone give me a page number for this in The Fall of Reach? I believe the Spartan-IIs wore black bodysuits on their first mission, but those were just generic bodysuits, not ODST uniforms.

Yes i think thats what it is not ODST armor just a generic body suit but they did say it was ucoftarable and tricky to repair.
 * ODSTs have combat vests and equipmen on over their suits, but they are there. -- ED ( talk )(shockfront) 02:59, 5 May 2007 (UTC)

Split this article
The discriptions of this page come from the black body suit, which is what the suits that the Spartans used in the rebel mission. The black body suits definetly arn't the ones that the ODSTs use in the present Halo Universe. If they could only deflect a small caliber round, then they'd get killed by the Covenant in one hit, but they don't: The ones the ODSTs use in the present Halo Universe are way more advanced. There is no conformation that the black body suit and the ODST armor is related. Another article should be created. --Uneven elephant 20:23, 29 May 2007 (UTC)
 * ODST's however, wear full body armor and combat equipment over their body suits, while Spartans wore just the suits for stealth purposes. If there is overwhelming support for the split though, the redirect can be undone. -- ED ( talk )(gaming) 00:42, 9 June 2007 (UTC)
 * What? Full body armor and body suits? Whats the difference? The Spartans wore the body armor because there was too many places in the op with nothing to breath but vacuum, and they only wore them for that op, because of all the disadvantages, they were obsolete in 2525, the ODSTs use their armor in 2552, so why would ODSTs even wear'' them? --Uneven elephant 01:06, 9 June 2007 (UTC)
 * I'm sorry your probably getting tired of this by now, but I think we are on two different pages, we need to straighten this out or something. --Uneven elephant 00:57, 12 June 2007 (UTC)

What I don't know what you guys are talking about. The normal marines can survive more than one hit usually. On the lower levels very easily Qwertyui606 02:58, 19 July 2007 (UTC)
