-*It is to kill an [[Elite]] while it is exiting a pod; this is probably due to game mechanics.
+*It is possible that these pods sport a shield generator as it is impossible to kill an [[Elite]] while it is exiting the pod, or it may simply be game mechanics.
-*On [[Uprising (Level)|Uprising]] one may see that the occupant in an insertion pod will die on impact immediately after the hatch on the pod blows open, meaning that they are as dangerous as the [[Single Occupant Exoatmospheric Insertion Vehicle|SOEIV]].{{Verify_source}}
+*Playing [[Halo 2]], on higher difficulties, on the level [[Uprising (Level)|Uprising]] when you are the [[Arbiter (Character)|Arbiter]], it has been seen that the occupants in the insertion pods will die on impact immediately after the hatch on the pod blows open and apart, meaning that they are as dangerous and random as the [[Single Occupant Exoatmospheric Insertion Vehicle]]s.
+*Elites have to brace themselves as they land, so they have a better chance of surviving.
 *In [[Halo 2]], they only appear in three levels, [[Outskirts (Level)|Outskirts]], [[Sacred Icon (level)|Sacred Icon]] and [[Uprising (Level)|Uprising]]. In [[Halo 3]], they only appear in [[Floodgate]].
-*The first time the [[Covenant]] Orbital Insertion Pods were seen was the [[Halo 2]] Announcement Trailer where [[Elite]]s came down and openly challenged the [[Master Chief]] with lighted [[Energy Swords]].
+*The first time the [[Covenant]] Orbital Insertion Pods were seen was the [[Halo 2]] Announcement Trailer where [[Elite]]s came down and openly challenged the [[Master Chief]] with lighted [[Energy Swords]]. This can only mean that these were influential warriors sent down from the Carrier overhead to eliminate ''any'' worthy force.
-*In Halo 3 one may get into the pods on the level [[Floodgate]] when playing on Co-Op as the second, third, or fourth player (an Elite), provided the pods are not shot at all. If you approach one and hold the Right Bumper you can jump into the pod.
+*It appears that Bungie originally was programing something into Halo 3 where you could hop into the pods, as on the level [[Floodgate]] if you are playing on Co-Op and you are either the 2nd, 3rd, or 4th player (An Elite) if the pods are not shot at all if you approach them and hold the Right Bumper you can jump into the pod.
-*The Orbital Insertion Pod may be a reference to the drop pods of the Predator franchise due to its similar behavior of transportation.
+*The Orbital Insertion Pod may be a reference to the Predator franchise due to its similar behaviour of transportation.
-*It is possible to be crushed by a landing insertion pod, although it is ''very'' unlikley.
