Hate to break it to you but i very much “give a shit” about the Endless and they already have lots of consistent lore that do indeed paint an interesting picture. Even though I wanted the Endless to be fully revealed in Halo Infinite, I know why they didn’t do this: They wanted give players a more conventional Halo experience and work on the high concept Endless stuff long term.

@danielefabbro8225 ай бұрын
@@johnhalo-ug4go hold the line? No, of course not, while they can, they were meant to break enemy lines. Historically speaking, defense have stopped to be reliable since the invention of gunpowder weapons. From that point further, the best "defense" was attack. The best way to avoid enemy bullets was that of being mobile, tactile, evasive. Making the enemy miss the target. Otherwise every hit is a lethal hit. And that's valid also on the greater scheme. You can afford the luxury of losing a line, a city, a planet. It will reduce your military power. A factory less that was producing weapons, less workforce, less economic power and so on. Spartans was intended to hit enemy in that way, striking and obliterating enemy key assets in order to cripple their chance to sustain a war. If the enemy can craft guns, they can't shoot at you. Spartans was made to attack, as like the whole UNSC military. If the UNSC has lost so much in the war, it was due to the fact that they had no maps about Covenant space, no chances to hit their military-industrial complex and instead the Covenant had Forerunner technology able to track every single human in the galaxy... a sort of transponder of every human planet... They was forced into a defensive position and by that, into a weaker position. After the war, the UNSC got and gained lots of new toys. Covenant assets, technology, intel, also Forerrunner stuff... They had the maps, and still enough workforce and military and industrial capabilities. And they was so smart to go immediately to attack. No matter if the war was over, loyalist covenant remnants was wiped out, planets was burned, Forerunner tech and locations was seized. It just needed to the UNSC to take the initiative to turn the tide and dwarf those who before was considered unbeatable foes. Even the same Forerunners or the Created adopted the same strategy, but thanks to Master Chief, they was beaten. Why? Because in all the chapters of the saga, Master Chief and those forces that follows him are that single decisive tip of the spear that goes ruin the plans of the enemies going to strike first and with max damage behind enemy lines. At the end of the day, if it wasn't for Master Chief, carrying out such manuevers on the grand scheme battlefield would have required way more forces and coordination. Spartans simply make the whole thing way more easy and effective. And mostly because they are so powered up and their mindset is so far from that of average humans, that they can simply succeed where we normal humans will not have great chances to survive.

The takeaway is this, you who are reading this, you could like have become an ODST if you really wanted to, because the UNSC had the medical technology to make you strong enough to actually do it.

In Halo 3, I always tried to keep the ODSTs alive for as long as possible. I also usually gave the officer (the guy with red markings) a power weapon or something. Always felt good if they made it to the end of the level with me.

Before helldivers, we had the ODST. Before the ODST we had starship troopers. Man, the mobile infantry is such a good idea, such a scarily destructive idea, that it will never get its time on the silver screen or video game. Kudos to Halo for its Spartans. They come closest to what a mobile infantry can do.

0:54 For any of you not well versed into Halo lore the Spartans IIs were in fact not orphans but literally taken from their families and replaced with clones, so the family wouldn't suspect their child was stolen to become jacked up super soldiers named after a warrior people who would throw their babies down pits if they were deformed, so take that the Info as you will considering just under half of the Spartan IIs died from the biological augmentation procedures.

From an in-universe perspective ignoring fan love, I’d imagine that ODSTs end up becoming a subsection of Spartan IVs or maybe even Spartan Vs. While normal Spartan IV/Vs do normal Spartan things, the Spartan ODSTs do normal ODST things, but as Spartans. We’ve already seen some Spartan Helljumpers like Alpha 9, so the natural in-universe continuation would be Super ODSTs.

The HALO TV series might be the hottest of hot trash, BUUUUUUUTTTT a while ago we got the largely okay Forward Unto Dawn. There's some talk about ODSTs in a tactical seminar but there's a brief moment (when the Covenant attack) that the ODST drop straight on the school. And for those several seconds, not only do the students know how bonkers they are, how chaotic it is them dropping here means the situation is, but the ODST just get the fuck to work. And I lose my goddamn mind every time.

They are tasked with fueling both sides of a civil war that breaks out on the Elites' homeworld. It shows a cool perspective of what ODSTs think of Spartans, especially when working together in the field. definitely worth a ready

Good video, I want to emphasise I enjoyed it, and even learned a few bits about the founding of the ODST's I didn't already know, but I have to nitpick: Calling ODST's "Special Forces Operatives" is kind of missing what Special Forces are. Effectively in reality you have two kinds of forces: Conventional and Special. Conventional Forces are designed to fight the enemy and destroy them, more or less openly, but crucially directly. Where Special Forces are meant to fight the enemy indirectly, either by enabling friendly nations forces in a deniable manner, targeting vital infrastructure while not engaging in combat, or by in reconnaissance in the enemies rear, with a side job of counter terrorism and direct action in insurgency ops. So how to ODST's fit into this? They are supposed to use direct insertion from space to take key operational objectives, and hold them until relieved by heavier conventional forces, or use their rapid insertion methods to outmanuever and destroy enemy conventional forces. In short: ODSTs are Conventional, not Special, Forces. Elite Conventional Forces, for sure (which in some ways makes them more bad ass since Special Forces are not designed to engage the enemy directly while ODST's *are*). Personally I blame FPS's for this, they tend to make Special Forces out to be "Conventional Forces" but "betterer" while missing the point that there are two very distinct mission sets that apply to both. Special Forces appeal to game developers because they have the best training, not because they're designed to take on the toughest defences the enemy has, but because if they get into trouble there usually won't be anyone around to get them out of it except themselves. But a video game isn't generally interested in portraying 40 days of driving civilian trucks around and hoping nobody notices your accents while training the insurgency, for good reason.
@mekboy74035 ай бұрын
Part of that is ODSTs were somewhat retconned post Halo 3 ODST. Prior to that in the books they were portrayed as elite conventional forces. Back in the day we often compared them to Army Rangers. They'd deploy rapidly in a company sized element to engage the enemy directly. Post game they wanted to show them doing more traditionally Special Forces stuff too so Bungie had them listed as being trained to do every kind of mission imaginable which created some problems. Long range recon, counter insurgency, counter contraband, direct action, unconventional warfare, asset recovery, search and rescue, you name it they're suppose to do it. And it got even messier when it was stated that every ODST had to be a veteran of a special forces group. Later books make some adjustments to this but its still pretty sloppy.
@dernwine5 ай бұрын
@@mekboy7403 I think that's kind of two sides of the same coin: Creators not understanding what various branches actually do. Special Forces are the best of the best so if we want to make ODST's better then they need to have been Special Forces. (Frankly if every ODST had to have a Special Forces background they'd never be able to sustain the numbers needed for company actions that they've been portrayed mostly as doing, but you knew that). Plus, lets face it, post HALO Reach the HALO universe in general took a dive downhill.

Spartans 4's and ODST share parallels to MARSOC and Recon in the Marines. They actually did pull a lot of Recon Marines to become Raiders when it first stood up again and they share a rivalry mindset amongst each other. Served in both but still appreciated having them both on the same side.
