Training ODSTs in Barracks

As Captian Cutter you should be able to train ODSTs in barracks like in the first halo wars. I find it kinda dumb that you have to wait like 10 minutes to deploy ODSTs. Just make them able to be made in bases. It would be a nice addition to an uber unit to Captian Cutter.

Naw, they’re fine as they are.

No. They’re really strong and meant to be a specialized unit. Being able to train them would either break the game or force a really heavy nerf to the ODSTs, at which point it’s worthless to drop them in.

I honestly enjoyed the queue system they had set up in halo wars 1 for ODST and would rather see that return. You could set it up where you started with 3 available and you could launch them individually for the same amount they are now divided. Then from there, I’d really like to see a second point added where it provides two additional ODST for the the individual cost rate increase. Right now I believe it’s a 600 or 650 supply drop for 3 ODSTs which is fine. Break that down and it’s about 200 or 213.66 per drop, and they would then cool-down at an accelerated rate that is 3 times what it is currently. I think it would be more strategically responsive instead of waiting however long it’s now to drop 3 all at once for a 600+ supply price, when maybe you only need one, or maybe you wanted to split where they landed. I understand the unit cap(per drop) at 3 for ODST, but I would like the unique play-style that Cutter encompasses better expanded.

Well, that was my 2 cents anyways.

este? are you thinking correctly? that would be … ?

I miss deploying a whole platoon of ODSTs in seconds. It saved me many times in the original Halo Wars. I don’t think they will bring it back though.

As much as id like to see them return to their halo wars 1 origin they are more unique now and you can see that on the battlefield. They really do give infantry units a hard time. Plus unfortunately people would spam them and all you’d hear is how they shouldn’t of made them train from the barracks and that they should be nerfed. It’s a shame but at least the feel more powerful now. I just wish they came with a field medic.

800 for the initial drop of 3 squads. I would be cool with a second point being added so that you could drop 3 squads followed by a second drop of 2 squads as you indicate. Though, I am not sure how the economy would work, it would need to be around 1350 for the two separate drops, but that becomes pretty expensive to use. I do wish there was a bit more flexibility with it, but they can wreck early-ish game if dropped at a base, they can ruin a players economy pretty easily. If they have to nerf their power, I would be opposed to doing that so you could field more units on the field. They are the one unique unit Cutter has and I do not want them relegated to worthless just so people can have like 12 on the field at one time. Between the ODST Assault Squad and the ODST drop, you can instantly have 5 ODST on the field dropped in two separate locations… not bad at all.
