@@lopesj6670 I played Heroic Floodfight on Crater for the monthly challenge a few months ago, and it was surprisingly great. A big part of that was because of the friendly Elites.

[@nickysimi9866]

Now they need to add that to the reach ones, that being said installation 04 was my favourite ff map. Not just because of friendly ai, but also coz it's nostalgic but also genuinely a good map for the mode lol

[@r.k.vignesh7832]

Floodfight was a really, really good quality of life improvement to the firefight modes we've had for more than a decade now. It seems like they've recorded new voices and lines (Some I can think of off the top of my mind - "Dude, you're awesome! We should hang out sometime!" - A Marine, "You inspire me!" - an Elite, "We will break your casket!" - the Gravemind), the addition of the two AI characters gives you something more to fight for by trying to keep them alive, and the Elites are actually kind of helpful - they man the turrets and have shields so they don't die off instantly, unlike the marines who just get infected almost instantly. The choice of enemies in the rounds are good, the choice of skulls (Tilt and Famine) in set 2 makes fighting the Flood feel truly horrifying - I once hit a Tank form in the mouth 5 times with a gravity hammer before he fucked off and died, and this was on Normal! Shotgun shells do nothing to a shielded Elite form, and you need to destroy the bodies with melee or risk running out of ammo. The only thing it's missing is a wave counter - it is an infinite wave survival game anyway, give it that so that people have something to brag about!

[@RyuTheAsian47]

A nice little real world fact relating to ODST's: I've seen pictures of people who are real world Airborne paratroopers in the US military actually run ODST patches on their work uniforms. They've gotten in trouble a lot of the time, but it's fun to see people who are in the closest equivalent in an actual military paying homage to fictional people who do a similar job

[@MercAgentVinny]

I think with ODST’s they have more character and emotion to them compared to Spartans. Spartans are overpowered walking tanks, whereas ODST’s are just normal guys that are just cool special forces. It’s easier to relate to ODST’s as people and their armor is sexy too

[@elijahaitaok8624]

Can’t blame the Spartans for being emotionally stunted super soldiers, what I loved about The Flood book is hearing the near malcontent towards Chief. The Evolutions series give plenty of spotlights to the venerable ODST and give them a proper military drama compared to the Spartans unbelievably awesome kickassery

[@Browninthadesert]

Very sexy armor

[@SovietTricycle]

What I like about the IVs is that they’re more human than Spartans. Yes II and IIIs were amazing in combat, but the IVs still adapted to the situation as a team instead of a lone wolf. If that makes sense.

[@theandice8152]

@@SovietTricycle I don't like that about Spartan IVs because the only reason 343 made them that way because they wanted to advertise their new super awesome amazing even better super soldier that has all of the strengths of the old ones and none of the drawbacks. Which just makes them boring as hell. The mental fragility/emotional stuntedness of many Spartans as well as the morally questionable nature of their development is what makes them distinct from other UNSC forces like Marines and ODSTs. All that is lost when you remove all that and just make them good at everything because you want kids to think they're cool.

It seeped into the rest of the branch though, with Buck legitimately not discounting his refusal for Sarah Palmer and her S-IV squad to reinforce A-9 on the mission that got the Rookie killed to it.

Spartans were a lot more than just ranks. Even with the armor they were faster and more agile than anyone else. The games don’t really do justice to the true lore of the Spartans. Even the III series were a lot more capable than the games have shown. Because of just how ridiculously overpowered they were, it is supposed to hit that much harder that during Reach Spartan IIs we’re dropping like flies. The only reason John surviving due to being in space on a space station at the time. Definitely not in cryo on PoA already, that’s so stupid. Like why would you have a super soldier in cryo during the most pivotal battle in the universe?..

I really hope there's a game that brings Halo Reach or even Halo 3's customization to ODSTs. As cool as H3:ODST was, I really want to create my own trooper insead of recoloring a member of Alpha-Nine. (It'd also be cool to see him in game the way your custom Noble 6 appears in cutscenes) And that's the other thing. There's a very limited number of Spartan IIs and IIIs. While ODSTs are elite soldiers, there is no cap on how many there are, so it's easier to imagine your trooper in the lore.

Halo CE's music had eerie feels, sure a lot of people know the title theme but not enough people talk about the heavy 90s inspirations when it comes to the music of Halo. Those weird and distinct shimmering sounds like sound reverberating off the walls of forerunner steel and glass (Idk if it's steel just bare with me) I think that 'weirdness' kind of needs to return with a game in the future, nowadays Halo rings are treated like a holy site, when in CE we were in awe and maybe even scared because what is this thing and why is there an ecosystem.

I've been a Halo fan since I was a kid but never got a chance to play ODST, just a few weeks ago, I finally did. I think it might just be my favorite halo game, and that's saying a lot. I adored the flavor of the writing and the soundtrack--it felt oddly...personal? I'm a musician, really into jazz, prog and post rock, even a pretty experienced clarinetist, and the soundtrack feels like some meshing of my personal taste with the sound we've all grown to love from Halo's music, music that entranced and inspired me from even my youngest years. It was weird. Playing this game after so many years just waiting for a new Halo experience to live up to my memories, it felt like Bungie was completing that inspirational feedback loop, saying "we love your brain too."

[@MistahFox]

I've made a Halo ODST cosplay, and I'll save most of my thoughts on ODSTs and their designs for a video I'll eventually make, but for now I HIGHLY recommend anyone who likes ODSTs and enjoys the human aspect of the Halo universe read Dirt from Halo: Evolutions. It's an hour long read but the audiobook is the best way to experience it, and it's my favorite Halo story of all time. It inspired me to continue making my armor because it showed ODSTs being real heroes, I can't recommend it enough!

[@aidanatkinson7717]

I personally like both halo 2 and 3 armor designs for ODST’s. The sleek round halo 2 version and the bulky rigid halo 3 version could just be considered different manufacturer requirements and equipment standards being changed because it’s late in the war and the unsc is taking what ever it can get. Atleast that’s my internal logic. It’s not like every single plate carrier in the us army is the same even today. You’ll see different rigs and uniforms across different regions and branches.

When "We've Got Desperate Measures" starts playing, The Rock and Jazz truly makes it feel like you're the desperate measures. It also makes you feel like you've been slammed by a Gravity Hammer.

I still can't imagine the work environment of early halo can you imagine the energy going into halo 3 and then finally fleshing out ODSTs in it's namesake game and then reach hell they gave a leading ODST role to Nathan and he's still voicing buck to this day in halo 5
