Prediction of ODST cosmetics in the future

Games Halo Infinite
1

So.
We have had a few ODST helmets added to the game over time with all the Armor Cores.

  • ODST Mark V for the Mark V [B]
  • Air Assault for the Mark V [B]
  • Firefall for the Mark VII
  • Volant for the Mark VII
  • Artius for the Rakshasa
  • M199X for the Eaglestrike as a Fracture version of ODST

But what about the remaining Armor Cores and ODST helmet variants?
Hopefully these variants of the ODST lineup will be made available for a Helljumper themed armor core, but what of the rest?

Here is what I think we might expect.

Eventually we will see the Mark IV Gen-1 Armor Core be included into Halo Infinite.
Halo Nightfall featured two separate form of ODST gear, the ONI ODSTs using updated gear and the Sedran Defence Army using outdated ODST equipment.
Since ODST equipment was originally designed for MJOLNIR use, but the models saw themselves stripped down and constructed of more affordable materials for the ODSTs, this implies that former variants of the ODST platform are available for MJOLNIR use as well.
Ergo, the Mark IV ODST Helmet would be the same one used by the Sedran forces in Halo Nightfall, pictured below -

Going off of this logic, it would be safe to assume that subsequent forms of the ODST platform would also be considered MJOLNIR compatatible.
Ergo, the ODST designs from Halo 2 and Halo 2 Anniversary can be considered possibly as the Mark VI rendition of the ODST armor lineup.
So if we were to see a Mark VI Gen-1 or Mark VI Gen-3 armor core be released, it would be safe to assume that the ODST helmet featured in the link below would be part of that season unlocks.

As for the Nightfall, Nightfall Beta, Helljumper, and Fireteam Raven’s ODST helmet designs; I think it would be safe to assume that those might debut whenever Halo Infinite receives a Helljumper-class armor core.

Thoughts anyone?

EDIT -
How could I forget the inclusion of the ODST SPI gear worn by Spartan Roland-B210 !!?
If / When we get an SPI-themed armor core, this would obviously be one of the armor options for the set.

And here I am still upset and waiting for the missing reach armor, like the security helm, military helm, gungnir, etc etc.

I’d love to see a straight up ODST core with a ton of Spartan attachments! I know that breaks lore, but who cares at this point? 343 kinda have done that with armor sets already, so really, who cares?? Yes, I also wanna see ODST variations on all the armor cores, but I’d love to see a dedicated ODST core that allows heavy customization with a bunch of attachments as well (stuff that wouldn’t be available on past ODSTs but do it anyway)!!

Hence why a little earlier I said that eventually all ODST stuff should be on a Helljumper Armor Core.

Helljumper Gen-3
Make the armor look like it takes inspiration from both Nightfall and Helljumper armor from Halo 5.
And then make every helmet just be an ODST helmet.
For example, need an ODST pilot helmet?
Just go off of the design of Halo 3 Pilot Marines! Even their chest armor resembles an ODST breastplate!

ODST all the way.
Go ham!

Did you edit that out of your original comment? Cause I didn’t see that at all until your response.

Either way… yes and yes! Lol

Nope, been there since the beginning.
My only edit was to include the ODST SPI I accidentally left out.

100% agree.

Here is how a Helljumper Armor Core should come around.

ACTUALLY have the Armor Core named Firefall and have the Firefall helmet be the default helmet for the suit.
Call the season Heros of Mombasa.
Include Firefight PvE modes as the new major content boost for the game.
Have Firefight be playable on BTB maps.
All Firefight maps included in the game are now also BTB maps.

Fireteam Alpha-Nine is now involved in the multiplayer story and we get to see Buck, Mickey, Dutch, Romeo, Gretchen, and Veronica once again.
Have some of the ODST helmets and armor be canonically what the former members of Alpha-Nine had worn.

  • Johnathan Doherty “Rookie”
  • Baruti “Gramps” Komen
  • Luis “Gogo” Gomez
  • Rebecca “Daughter” Svensdottir
  • Samuel “Sam” Samrat

And have all the members of Alpha-Nine be the Armor-Kit presets.

Eh?

I’m a sucker for firefight, so I’d love to see it return. From the reach solo variant to halo 5’s “firefight”…. just being able to play firefight again but in the slip space engine would be wonderful! I’d even be thrilled to see remakes of all the reach firefight maps as well!

But yea, some BTB maps, normal sized maps…. give us all of it!!

It’s definitely a good idea to have the seasonal content revolve around the full ODST/firefight experience… it’d make the game feel like a whole new, big experience was added to the game.

It is only a matter of time.

And then we can drop into the fun.
