I know a couple people got the game early, so I was wondering if anyone knows by now if you can assassinate ODST in VS. FF.
Nope, the animation was never made.
Although, it’s something I would have loved to see.
Source: friend who got it early, asked him to test it.
Damn, I never thought of that. Would’ve been a nice addition, but if the animation doesn’t exist in Reach already, is it even something which can be added? All those threads on what can and can’t exist as DLC on B.net got me mightily confused.
Also, please tell me I’m not the only one who pictured an Elite choke slamming an ODST before impaling him with a mini energy sword after reading the title. If so, I might need to go get that checked up…

It could have been considering it was limited to only Installation 04 but it would have been to much effort for something that a non-AI Elite would need to do.
The animation sure exists - it’s simply a matter of applying it to a new character model. Only problem is that ODSTs are a little smaller than the Spartan biped the animation has been designed for, so you might get a few ‘buggy’ animations out of it.
Long and short: plausible, but not directly possible.
