Halo ODST: Operation Whiteout

Operation Whiteout is a fan made cinematic, entirely created by HaloVFX over the last 6 months (ish). We follow a Hell jumper as he drops from a UNSC ship into a mountainous and hazardous zone behind enemy lines in order to carry out his mission with his fellow ODST's.
Sometimes drops don't go as planned....

@@LuoSon312_G8 When you say that specific loadouts do you mean a physically separate parachute because all ODST pods have a parachute like system which is what I meant. That being said the likely reason they don't have chutes standard is because AA already kills a pod going terminal velocity and then humanities God of war has to fist fight gravity itself so that the pod can land at all the issue with parachutes that hold a person are they are a big slow target honestly ODSTs are literally peak performance as far as Futurisitc paratroopers go in my opinion

Love when a creator makes the ending very dark and just real to grasp how disappointing and unforgiving the cruel world is. Halo should be very dark and unforgiving, but it's never truly felt like that except in cinematics or certain campaign mission (which are honestly only in Halo CE, H2, ODST and Reach).

[@Sigma-gb9yd]

Now, it IS possible that ODST survived, since he hit trees from not all too high an altitude. But yeah. If that was the end right there, I wouldn't even be mad

[@WB1813]

@@Sigma-gb9yd Highly unlikely, he was already falling at high velocity, he'd have to bleed off speed to reach terminal velocity, and he fell for about twenty seconds. He probably fell a good four or five thousand feet there. Even hitting trees with advanced armor to avoid getting punctured he's got incredibly poor odds of survival.

[@darkbooger]

@@WB1813 This trooper's survival is unlikely, but there is always the small chance that he somehow survived if he landed on something at an angle and/or the snow could've cushioned it somewhat, or just anything to break his fall for that matter. However, even if he did survive he would have severe injuries which may or may not include broken/shattered bones and internal bleeding depending on his level of luck. By the time he wakes up he is going to want to find a med kit and biofoam immediately.

[@Sigma-gb9yd]

@@WB1813 A human can survive a fall of terminal velocity. And we don't know how fast that trooper was falling. From the looks of his CO, they had deployed airbrakes by the time he was pulled from his pod. And even then, at terminal velocity, he would have slammed into those trees far faster than he did. He has a much better chance of surviving the fall. He probably won't be walking away from it, yeah, but he has a pretty good chance of not dying. As for the actual distance from his pod that he fell, I would give maybe a thousand, thousand five hundred. Still fucking nuts and he will probably have several broken limbs, among other things. But death isn't a guarantee. Especially since we have actual, real world records of unarmored and unprepared civilians surviving far deadlier falls

So many instances of this in real life and you managed to make it super realistic in an animation about a video game. Such an amazing job.

[@Zetesti]

Beautiful work as always, really makes me itch for another ODST game focused on the events between Harvest and Halo. Imagine dropping in via Pelican or Pod, missions varying from stealth, search & rescue, or all out combat. Hopping planet to planet defending here, taking out a HVT there, gathering intel for ONI etc… I think it’d give 343 plenty of room for a unique perspective to be crafted both from a ODST perspective (like brotherhood/ team drama) and from the larger UNSC perspective. Showing desperation and defeat making the victories all the more sweet when earned. Sacrifice and the feeling of losing hope while fighting to the bitter end would be a good theme too. If 343 could capture that feeling across a multi planet campaign like the feeling you had when playing Lone Wolf for the first time, man that’d be fun. Can’t wait for the next video bro, keep it up 👍

[@moviemaker2011z]

i mentioned that i was wanting to make my own halo game, and just so its not misinterpreted by what i mean, its only relevant because the game centers around a group of ODST's (their group are referred to as hell knights) as they are fighting against the insurrection all around the outer colonies. no Spartans, no flood, and no covenant are planned to be involved at any point in the story i have planned thus far. its simply focusing on the war against the insurrection and the growing threat they pose to the UNSC (ONI more specifically) as the UNCS/Covenant war rages on. i have many ideas planned and wrote down but am currently facing writers block for how i want to line up the story and where i want it to go but after seeing this it gives me a few ideas of some conflicts that might make the game more engaging. my friend who has been helping me with writing it all has decided to abandon it and gets mad/noticeably frustrated whenever i bring it up so i have nobody to talk to about it or bounce ideas off of thus the writers block. im even attempting to learn UE5 and blender so i can try to make a few samples but i work two jobs (6 days a week) and i can barely find time to practice either program. so like said seeing a literal masterpiece like this gives me some inspiration to not give up and to keep pushing forward, kinda like the ODST's themselves.
