We're The Desperate Measures (ODST Theme)

I heard this badass tune while playing, and thought, "I want this song! =D"
So I searched for it, and found it had been stretched across "The Menagerie", "More Than His Share", and "Skyline" from the ODST Soundtrack. I just wanted the damn theme, not all the other pieces (no offense, Marty) taking up space on my iPod. So what I did was take the sections of those songs, and put them together into this. I put it on KZbin for y'all because I'm generous. ^^

This is Marty O'Donnell's work, I should clarify. All I did was compile it as smoothly as I could.
And lastly, I gave it this title based on the ODST "Desperate Measures" trailer. It seemed to fit.

They came from the sky. We had been pinned down for 6 hours, we sent a planet-wide distress call earlier in the day. Half of us didn't even get properly suited up before the attack came. However, when the streaks of red glowing blur rained from the heavens, we knew the sorry bastards were done for. BAM! BOOM! A landing. A door hinge off. ARGH! AH! Two down. BLAM! Grenade. 4 little guys out, all in a matter of seconds. As we heard more landing, we started to rise. One of us called, "*They're here! Get up! We're saved!" We all sprang up to see, at least 20 pods slamming down, doors flinging off, soldiers out, enemies dead. By the time I fully stood up. The entire attacking force was laid-to-waste. I was in shock.

I've always loved the ODST a lot more than Spartans. Their armour is so much more Badass and I feel like they're more Human. Spartans are meant for war, they're genetically modified. Where as ODST'S are just human.. which makes their accomplishments and their feats a lot more commendable. (I know somebody with AMAZING lore on Halo will tell that most soldiers were modified in some way during the Human-Covenant War, but well, it's my opinion, it's subjective).

I like spartans more than ODSTs, but man..... ODSTs are also pretty badass. The way ODSTs fight (as they are the desperate and the last stand) They don't give off hope like the spartans, but they definitely give hell to their enemies. Almost like an avenger.

[@marzouk6270]

ODST captured the feeling of hopelessness Humanity felt during the war. When you landed in a dark and gloomy Mombasa with the constant patrol teams. You overhear their talking while their armour illuminates all that its rays touch and the ghastly howl of the Phantoms with the fire bitten horizon as you look into the sky. ODST didn't have you as humanities' badass saviour falling from space only to kick ass, it showed you that you were just human and it also taught us the importance of working together to defeat these unknown, foreign creatures. The AI talking through out the city kept you on edge and the dead bodies layered upon the streets with the constant threat of a sniper as you try too piece together the puzzle of your teams fate. The music was the cherry on top for each mission.

[@Falkriim]

It was funny how the marines didn’t suck up to you like they do to Masterchief too, I especially like when Mickey asks: “Where’s the fight at?” And a marine retreating past him says: “Take a guess, genius” Also cool how the covies refer to you as Imp too, considering you are a lesser “demon”

It always fascinated me how ODSTS could get the job done just as well as Spartans and yet they weren’t as appreciated

[@JenkemSuperfan]

not quite as well, but close enough

[@ShuTheIdiot]

Because it'd usually be like 20 odst for 1 spartan. And even then usually those odst would stick to running stealth ops if they fought and died humanity would know, they'd acknowledge them as hero's of the war and mourn their loss but for a spartan if a spartan fought and died no one would know. Oni would hide it and all that would remain on the battlefield is the piles of covenant corpses.

[@nates205]

Not quite as effective as Spartans due to obvious reasons but they're the next best thing. They earned such a reputation that the Spartans weren't the only ones infamous among the Covenant being called "demons". They called ODST's "imps" which is a essentially saying, a lesser demon. They also wreaked havoc on the Covenant..

When a side Halo game by Bungie was better than a next gen Halo game by 343

[@ReftheraginBoss]

Because this game was focused around campaign, they didn't have to worry about a multiplayer like 343. Also Microsoft made 343 rewrite the story

[@methamphetamemes4206]

Implying this is a side game

[@hrthrhs]

Ref the ragin Boss - the story of the 343 halos I don't have a problem with. They've significantly changed the look and feel, one example is the soundtrack; uninspiring and generic. 343 should just get Hans Zimmer. But there are other aspects they've completely changed and considering the Halos were damn near perfect any change is not good.

Such a great game. Why all the hate, I dont understand it. This track gets me pumped up.

[@RikiRaccoon]

The music, and game play had all the right elements, I personally hated it for one reason...Tempting fate too much, and everyone surviving in the GUN HO HOORAH fashion. When I was playing as the silent rookie character, I figured "ok...I somehow survived the bulk of the fighting..mop up crews might be going on...need to reconnect with the tea-...whats this?" and with the somber music, had figured "...My team's dead...is the city over run?...who am I even going to link up to..." I figured playing the game as the other people would lead into this sorry of how you saw them die,....nope! We are the ODST! We cant die! Cause...MARINES! HOORAH!!!".... the fact they all survived so much and still made jokes about it during the game with snide comments, like it was a walk in the park for them. To me that and the lack of realism in the fact only one guy got "life threateningly" injured, without energy shields. THAT being said, I think that's why Reach had the "Who can die in the most noble fashion!?" contest.

[@RikiRaccoon]

***** I speak of how unrealistic it was because, despite the quasi super science and clearly "Impossible" technology, the games still had a sense of seriousness, the Tone of the games, and their humor, were "realistic" to a degree. And again, those were just -my- opinions, I never said they were fact, I never said the game wasnt bad, I jsut said, -I- didnt like the fact that, the game seemed to be leading up to something, and then "We seemingly died, lost contact, but then were Kay".

[@tannerbarnes7392]

RikiRaccoon Honestly, after a series of self sacrifice and death surrounding you nonstop, I was refreshed when I got a little comedic break. Not only that, I felt like an action hero when I watched the team, myself included, fly away from the city alive. It was an upbeat twist on an otherwise somber-at-best series, and it's right up there in my favorites with Reach and 3.

[@gxexe373]

RikiRaccoon impossible technology?

[@Insomninaut]

RikiRaccoon in theory all the technology is possible: slip space is easily explained using quantum mechanics (i think), the plasma weapons used by the covenant just fire heated plasma (note: the energy sword uses magnetic fields to keep its shape). halo is pretty realistic (considering its 500 years in the future)

I'd argue the Rookie is even more of a chad than Master Chief. He was so badass that 343 had to chicken out and kill him in a novel or else he'll steal Chief's thunder. He slept in as firefights were raging across the city. Navigated through covenant filled streets all on his own. Did some CSI shit to figure out what happened to his squad Soloed his way through an ONI facility swarmed with covenant The reason how the engineer got rescued in the first place Never uttered a single word through all this And he wasn't even a super-soldier in power armor.
