How come there were no ODSTs?

This has been on my mind ever since beating campaign, why didn’t the ODSTs come back? It would have been wicked to see them destroy Prometheans.

Because the ODST’s joined the spartan program. not all but most of them would have.

ODSTs that were able and willing to receive the augmentations joined the Spartan IV program.

I remember that part but what about the ones that remained ODSTs.

They probably got rid of them over the new Spartans, man.

Maybe ODST now stands for Orbital Drop Spartan Trooper.

Where did it say that ODSTs joined the S-IV program?

> I remember that part but what about the ones that remained ODSTs.

Never said as far as I know. I think they are considered obsolete.

Idk, but wouldn’t it be common sense?

Spartan IV’s were picked out of the best marines, and the ODST were one of the most elite forces in the military.

My god I hope not!

343 said it I believe.

No ODSTs anymore, now SP4s to fill their role around you. They look like ODSTs though.

I am still curious as to why we still have marines on the battlefield.

It did not say but many volunteers were mostly Marines, Army all that.

Just realized you can ALMOST make the ODST insignia for your Halo 4 emblem. Going to rep my para-stellar brothers.

I realized that last night when I was fooling around in the emblems. :stuck_out_tongue: I would have been one happy guy if ODST came back as an armor

I remember hearing somewhere in the Broadsword mission on the radio that Earth had ODST’s standing by to assist the Cheif. Correct me if Im wrong about this, but Im pretty sure thats what I heard. 343i may have just decided that they didnt want to make a new ODST model.

What if Buck came into haLo 4 in Sþartan 4 armor ?

Probably, but why not use the 3 models if they did not want to make new ones?

That would have been wicked Nathan Fillion is a boss.

S-IV were volunteers like the Orion project yes, I was just asking because I remembered Lasky saying they had ODSTs on standby. Unless those were the ODSTs who were good but not good enough to make the cut as a Spartan.

> Where did it say that ODSTs joined the S-IV program?

The best soldiers from all branches were picked, naturally the ODST’s come into mind as they were directly below spartans in performance.
