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.

"The ODSTs weren't the cutting edge hard-asses anymore. I'd just seen the future of warfare. I wasn't in it." -Gage Yevgenney after being saved by a Spartan II
Anyone who is not a Halo fan who wants to get a quick but proper taste of the ODST. Look up the Halo 3 ODST live action trailer. And get ready to feel haunted
In the books a few space assault troopers from the 21st black daggers get captured after an operation and we're being tortured. But they mad lads in all their glory, just laughed in the face of the elites who tortured them. A pretty gangster moment among many in the books
The Kilo 9 books cover the reaction of a couple of ODSTs to finding out the details of the spartan project if your intrested. I think its Mortal Dictata that goes fully into it
The Kilo 9 books are fucking awesome and it really just makes the handling of Halo by 343 even worse. Jul 'Mdama's a fascinating character and all the stuff they set up with Halsey being a scapegoat for ONI authorizing the SPARTAN program in the first place but all of that is let down by the games.
In one of my favorite D&D games I got to play in, we were on a spelljammer and needed to take out an elf base that was heavily defended from the ground. The way we did it was to give our Dwarf paladin a ring of feather fall, a helm that let him breath in space, and a cape of fireproofing. Then we dropped him from orbit. We named the order that was founded after him the ODSTs. For orbital dwarf shock troops!
Oddly, enough there is actually a common magical item in Eberron that basically combines all of that into one thing for the purposes of dropping people from ships...there was an entire part of the old "Living" campaign that used them for semi-military deployments.
God bless Heinlien or whoever first gave us the trope of dropping soldiers from orbit. Its just so damn cool and there is a reason why its been so popular in sci fi
The ICARUS troop transport was a real proposal for a giant rocket that would carry 12,000 troops from thr ground, to orbit, and then land them anywhere on earth within an hour. It never happened because it would have been insanely expensive, and the US already having friendly bases all over the world and a huge navy to travel between them was seen as being good enough.
@@RipOffProductionsLLC That twelve thousand passenger payload seems unrealistically large for a rocket. Just how big was this monstrosity supposed to be?
And every Mobile Infantry were equipped with power armor and IFV level firepower/protection as standard issue. I pity for regular UNSC Army, Marines and ODST.
@@insignificantgnat9334not 12,000, 1200. It was about the height of the space shuttle but designed primarily to be sub orbital. Sub orbital is a lot easier than orbital!
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.
The first time I’ve was exposed to the trope of sci fi soldiers in drop pods was Tiberian Sun, GDI had drop pods as a special ability in that game. I think the codified was Starship Troopers (the novel,) and obviously 40K space marines have it too, but I think the OFSTs are the most memorable incarnation as things currently stand. Helldivers may overtake them if it keeps up this momentum, but the satirical tone of the game makes for a different feel, and hell, they’re standing on the shoulders of giants anyway
Elite soldiers dropping into war from above is an idea as old as the first man to throw themselves out of a perfectly good plane with a parachute and rifle to their chest. Its only expanded on since then.
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.
"You cannot understand how badly I want to be this ODST." Me, remembering the tomboy PT stud I hung out with who might've had a thing for me in hindsight: "Nah, brother, I just might."
So happy you made another Halo video. They’re honestly my favorite. I got into your channel when first diving into warhammer, but Halo was my childhood and it’s awesome to hear and learn more about it.
Halo odst will always have a special place in my heart for being my first halo game and being my first person shooter game such a great story and characters.still mad at 343 for killing rookie in a fucking book
They're definitely cooler, but from a logistics perspective, IVs are very practical to have. You can not tell me with a straight face that giving buck energy shields and boosting his physical capabilities was a bad decision.
I went immediately from this to the ODST trailer video. That thing went so freaking HARD and it came out of nowhere. Such a good ad. Man, those were the days.
One should remember that UNSC has wide access to incredible medical technology, medical technology that can fix most chronic medical problems that would prevent a person from becoming a soldier. So the UNSC had a lot of people that were physically absolutely capable of passing the training, but did not have the mindset, which is a generous way of saying they didn't have that special kind of brain damage that makes people wiling jump out planes on the regular, nevermind into enemy fire. 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.
You see, ODST's are the finest because they don't get any fancy armor, super combat drugs, or special treatment. Instead they get two sticks and a rock, and they've got to share the rock.

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. (They were teenagers)
At least one Spartan II candidate was taken by ONI from orphan-like conditions, and the general profile of Spartan III candidates I think broadly fits the descriptor "orphan" but yeah if we're talking about IIs then "orphan" really isn't the best characterization
My man Rookie got played dirty. Good thing I can't read and that he's actually okay and likely snoozing in a hammock or something. Mickey is likely chilling at home with family eating bagels. And Buck is busy being Buck.
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.
That ODST live action ad still gets to me to this day. Some of the best music of any Halo game, and one of the best campaigns to boot. I love me a good Helljumper.
Gotta love ODST’s. I have a fondness to them due to the ODST game being released on my birthday. Edit: The end part though. Loved Cutter in Halo wars and would do that all the time in AI battles since I never had online play.
05:16 hey, the mercenary odst squad from red vs blue! that throws me back! and Cal-141...not tough enough to see her hurt, not tough enough to see her dying without crying my eyes out
Genuinely really happy to see more halo content. I’ve been watching and rewatching your other halo vids which persuaded me to play through the original trilogy over the last month and a half for the first time. I was very pleasantly surprised how well they hold up
you gotta check out the Kilo-Five trilogy, Glassland, Thursday War, and Mortal Dictata. takes place a few years after H3, and follows an ONI team of 3 ODSTs, a Spartan 2, an ONI Officer/Spook, and BB Oni's personal Smart AI (Like Cortana). 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
I knew it was only a matter of time before we got some sweet sweet Helljumpers lore! Thanks for taking this opportunity to bring us back to the glory days! 😄
Fun fact, a functional drop pod could be created with modern technology. NASA actually considered it to be used as escape pods on stations and/or shuttles in the case of emergencies. The only reason they were never made was cost, as the tech would be very very very expensive current day
My favorite ODST trooper, would have to be Mickey from Halo 3’s ONI HQ mission. He’s the Demolition specialist, and the written blurb he gets in the official guide is hilarious. Something along the line of he’s already a little crazy for willingly dropping into orbit from a functional spacecraft in the heat of battle. Now he’s extra crazy for wanting to do that and carry additional explosives as his main weapon.
I can imagine, realistically, the ODST core remains into the halo timeline to deal with normal human threats, whereas the spartan IV's and beyond exist to take on alien threats.
Cole protocol is my 2nd favorite novel in the collection. The intro gives a fantastic view on how ODSTs theive in urban combat against rogue innie cells.
The fact that you mentioned The Cole Protocol is awesome. The whole tattoo thing was my favorite part of the entire book. "Hey man, did you know Captain Keys has street cred?"
Getting rid of the ODST's just cause Spartan IV's exist would be like saying the United States has Special Forces so we can get rid of the Ranger Regiment, or we have SEAL teams so we no longer need the Marines Force Recon. Or if you want a 40k equivalent we have Adeptus Custodes so we no longer need Space Marines. Surely the Spartan IV's are hella expensive to make and train, and not every situation demands the best of the best. Sometimes you need a good middleman that would inflict an unreasonable amount of casualites if you send your regular baseline infantry, but don't quite wanna risk all the training, experience, and (let's be honest) price tag of your most elite units
Damn, that "They're probably not gonna be around long enough to annoy you for very long" part really kind struck a bitter chord in me. Never thought about that. Starting to see that black armor looking more like a suit and coffin all in one.
I wish spartan 4s were only odst's getting upgraded to even having the armor be more bases off odst armor to make them be able to not make odst's obsolete just upgraded
the poster at 7:54 was a great item from the Forward Unto Dawn webseries and I got a printed version for my friend to take to college in 2013 Edit: extremely good discretion on ignoring the book that ruins characters we liked.
I loved the live action odst trailer back in the day. It showed a different side to the universe and the regular (albeit badass) humans that have to fight in this war for survival.
Oh hell yeah, this please me a lot. This may not be pirate lore of vampire coast but this fucking great. Love learning lore of halo! Keep of great work! Because hail the mighty!!
8:41 Very minor correction, I think he only killed 3 of them. The last guy was just very very very injured. And you didn’t mention this, but I find it interesting that John was not trying to kill them. He’d only recently been augmented, so he had no idea going into that fight the damage he would be doing.
First, brilliant video. You made such a dull, typical workday lunch so fun and nostalgic. Second, the sheer fact we only were blessed with a single game regarding ODSTs front and center will continue to be one of the biggest blunders Microsoft/343 continue to perpetuate. All those Reach attachments are partially thanked to the ODST design and the drop pods shown in Infinite's trailer (and in Halo 2) are thanked again to the sheer philosophy of ODST's. Outside of Halo, it's why I'm hoping the next Doom goes back to Doomguy being a marine. Sometimes being a "guy ready for whatever is up the creek" is more appealing than "green super soldier".

Watching nearly a battalion of ODSTs just punch a covenant base to death was the best end joke I've thus far seen. Outstanding.
3rd option: the spartan branch is disbanded as augmentations get more widespread and having literally every single infantryman in one branch of the military is a bad idea
And then ONI kidnaps a bunch of kids to give them the kind of enhancements no one else can survive and we're back where we started
I know not what augmentations the Spartan 5's will require, but the Spartan 6's will be 'recruited' before birth.

Man, I was not prepared for the feels of this magnitude. Fantastic trailer and music, enough said.
Don't forget how the odst laugh when the Covenant tried to torcher them
Yes! I love that part in the book. Literally getting shocked to shit and just laughing
@@devildevious2646 definitely a certified helljumper moment
When does that happen?
Wait, what happened?
In the books a few space assault troopers from the 21st black daggers get captured after an operation and we're being tortured. But they mad lads in all their glory, just laughed in the face of the elites who tortured them. A pretty gangster moment among many in the books
The Kilo 9 books cover the reaction of a couple of ODSTs to finding out the details of the spartan project if your intrested. I think its Mortal Dictata that goes fully into it
Mmm. Traviss "Bri'ish" Tart...
The Kilo 9 books are fucking awesome and it really just makes the handling of Halo by 343 even worse. Jul 'Mdama's a fascinating character and all the stuff they set up with Halsey being a scapegoat for ONI authorizing the SPARTAN program in the first place but all of that is let down by the games.
They did Jul dirty thats for sure@@Calvin_Coolage
My favorite quote that i don't remember where it comes from for ODST "First to Hell; Last to Heaven"
Reminds me of one of Sabaton's songs: Primo Victoria.
In one of my favorite D&D games I got to play in, we were on a spelljammer and needed to take out an elf base that was heavily defended from the ground. The way we did it was to give our Dwarf paladin a ring of feather fall, a helm that let him breath in space, and a cape of fireproofing. Then we dropped him from orbit. We named the order that was founded after him the ODSTs. For orbital dwarf shock troops!
Oddly, enough there is actually a common magical item in Eberron that basically combines all of that into one thing for the purposes of dropping people from ships...there was an entire part of the old "Living" campaign that used them for semi-military deployments.
Even if they’re not as hardy as Spartans they’re arguable braver to go into impossible situations with unpowered armor and no augmentations
To the ODST it was the most significant Helljump of their life. To the Spartan, it was Tuesday.
Odst complete an objective believing they’ve saved the day.

My first exposure with HALO in General was the animations with Cal 141 and since it awoke something in me.
ODST's are so damn cool, I use their armor every chance I get in the Halo games

Halo Wars play through when?
God bless Heinlien or whoever first gave us the trope of dropping soldiers from orbit. Its just so damn cool and there is a reason why its been so popular in sci fi
The ICARUS troop transport was a real proposal for a giant rocket that would carry 12,000 troops from thr ground, to orbit, and then land them anywhere on earth within an hour.
It never happened because it would have been insanely expensive, and the US already having friendly bases all over the world and a huge navy to travel between them was seen as being good enough.
@@RipOffProductionsLLC That twelve thousand passenger payload seems unrealistically large for a rocket. Just how big was this monstrosity supposed to be?
@RipOffProductionsLLC still more reasonable than the Orion project lol
And every Mobile Infantry were equipped with power armor and IFV level firepower/protection as standard issue. I pity for regular UNSC Army, Marines and ODST.
@@insignificantgnat9334not 12,000, 1200. It was about the height of the space shuttle but designed primarily to be sub orbital. Sub orbital is a lot easier than orbital!
"Feet first into hell", like a lot of Halo phrases goes hard.
Everyone's talking about Helldivers etc but nobody remembers Section 8, another sci-fi game that had an orbital dropping army
I am forced to stop the video at 10:15 into it just to say this. Pancreas, I do understand how much you want to be that ODST, because I want it too.
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.
The first time I’ve was exposed to the trope of sci fi soldiers in drop pods was Tiberian Sun, GDI had drop pods as a special ability in that game. I think the codified was Starship Troopers (the novel,) and obviously 40K space marines have it too, but I think the OFSTs are the most memorable incarnation as things currently stand. Helldivers may overtake them if it keeps up this momentum, but the satirical tone of the game makes for a different feel, and hell, they’re standing on the shoulders of giants anyway
Elite soldiers dropping into war from above is an idea as old as the first man to throw themselves out of a perfectly good plane with a parachute and rifle to their chest. Its only expanded on since then.
So long as the tradition continues, and in good measure, those that came before can rest easy.
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.
8:31 also you were so real for this, RIP Cal-141

Hey, do what you want with it! I'm sure whatever you do will be great!
ODST's are infinitely cooler than Spartan-IV's and should never have been replaced, and I'll stand by that
They aren't outright replaced just yet, there is a mention of them in Infinite.
A lot of former ODSTs became Spartan-IVs…. Just saying.
They shouldn't have let everyone become a spartan 4. There should have still been strict genetic requirements.
They're definitely cooler, but from a logistics perspective, IVs are very practical to have.
You can not tell me with a straight face that giving buck energy shields and boosting his physical capabilities was a bad decision.
Ill second this the onoy team of spartan that are actually baller is Nobel team peak squad goals
21:33 That brings me back spawning, an entire army out of.
Nowhere in immediately destroying a scarab
I went immediately from this to the ODST trailer video. That thing went so freaking HARD and it came out of nowhere. Such a good ad.
Man, those were the days.
@14:50 More accurately, 343 was the Halo killer.
One should remember that UNSC has wide access to incredible medical technology, medical technology that can fix most chronic medical problems that would prevent a person from becoming a soldier.
So the UNSC had a lot of people that were physically absolutely capable of passing the training, but did not have the mindset, which is a generous way of saying they didn't have that special kind of brain damage that makes people wiling jump out planes on the regular, nevermind into enemy fire.
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.
You see, ODST's are the finest because they don't get any fancy armor, super combat drugs, or special treatment. Instead they get two sticks and a rock, and they've got to share the rock.

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. (They were teenagers)
All true. Thanks for telling the all the little zoomers what's up
At least one Spartan II candidate was taken by ONI from orphan-like conditions, and the general profile of Spartan III candidates I think broadly fits the descriptor "orphan" but yeah if we're talking about IIs then "orphan" really isn't the best characterization

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.
Dude. The fact that MS execs shot down an idea for a helldivers style game with ODSTs steams my ham so hard.
Odst and Spartans getting all the media reception while Marines and the army out here fighting for their lives
That ODST live action ad still gets to me to this day. Some of the best music of any Halo game, and one of the best campaigns to boot. I love me a good Helljumper.

ALRIGHT! Good to see these guys get some well-deserved recognition. Enjoying your content sir
Gotta love ODST’s. I have a fondness to them due to the ODST game being released on my birthday.
Edit: The end part though. Loved Cutter in Halo wars and would do that all the time in AI battles since I never had online play.

and Cal-141...not tough enough to see her hurt, not tough enough to see her dying without crying my eyes out
without question one of the best lore channels on the internet. keep it up.
Genuinely really happy to see more halo content. I’ve been watching and rewatching your other halo vids which persuaded me to play through the original trilogy over the last month and a half for the first time. I was very pleasantly surprised how well they hold up
In halo wars 1 they call themselves Hell Jumpers
Always love the Halo Lore stuff. Made me start reading the books. Looking forward to any more in the future.
Oh hell yeah, we’ve been waiting for this! Everybody’s favorite Shock Troopers.
you gotta check out the Kilo-Five trilogy, Glassland, Thursday War, and Mortal Dictata. takes place a few years after H3, and follows an ONI team of 3 ODSTs, a Spartan 2, an ONI Officer/Spook, and BB Oni's personal Smart AI (Like Cortana). 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
Best thing in this video cal_141 my beloved

This is honestly the best Halo content I've seen in years.
Fun fact, a functional drop pod could be created with modern technology. NASA actually considered it to be used as escape pods on stations and/or shuttles in the case of emergencies. The only reason they were never made was cost, as the tech would be very very very expensive current day
My favorite ODST trooper, would have to be Mickey from Halo 3’s ONI HQ mission. He’s the Demolition specialist, and the written blurb he gets in the official guide is hilarious. Something along the line of he’s already a little crazy for willingly dropping into orbit from a functional spacecraft in the heat of battle. Now he’s extra crazy for wanting to do that and carry additional explosives as his main weapon.
I can imagine, realistically, the ODST core remains into the halo timeline to deal with normal human threats, whereas the spartan IV's and beyond exist to take on alien threats.
12:08 your doin gods work here. Thankyou. 13:38 wait I’m not the only one? I like dis channel.
Cole protocol is my 2nd favorite novel in the collection. The intro gives a fantastic view on how ODSTs theive in urban combat against rogue innie cells.
The fact that you mentioned The Cole Protocol is awesome. The whole tattoo thing was my favorite part of the entire book. "Hey man, did you know Captain Keys has street cred?"
“Humanity’ best soldier they didn’t steal from an orphanage” 😂😂😂
Getting rid of the ODST's just cause Spartan IV's exist would be like saying the United States has Special Forces so we can get rid of the Ranger Regiment, or we have SEAL teams so we no longer need the Marines Force Recon. Or if you want a 40k equivalent we have Adeptus Custodes so we no longer need Space Marines. Surely the Spartan IV's are hella expensive to make and train, and not every situation demands the best of the best. Sometimes you need a good middleman that would inflict an unreasonable amount of casualites if you send your regular baseline infantry, but don't quite wanna risk all the training, experience, and (let's be honest) price tag of your most elite units

Damn, that "They're probably not gonna be around long enough to annoy you for very long" part really kind struck a bitter chord in me. Never thought about that. Starting to see that black armor looking more like a suit and coffin all in one.
I imagine really strong potential for a story about ODST’s in 2560 who haven’t decided to be S-IV yet, for reasons we get to explore in game
I wish spartan 4s were only odst's getting upgraded to even having the armor be more bases off odst armor to make them be able to not make odst's obsolete just upgraded
the poster at 7:54 was a great item from the Forward Unto Dawn webseries and I got a printed version for my friend to take to college in 2013

Thanks for still making things about halo its always nice to be reminded people still love halo as much as i do!
Been waiting for THIS particular video. Hope to see more Halo stuff from you in the future!

Oh hell yeah, this please me a lot. This may not be pirate lore of vampire coast but this fucking great. Love learning lore of halo! Keep of great work! Because hail the mighty!!
8:41 Very minor correction, I think he only killed 3 of them. The last guy was just very very very injured. And you didn’t mention this, but I find it interesting that John was not trying to kill them. He’d only recently been augmented, so he had no idea going into that fight the damage he would be doing.
First, brilliant video. You made such a dull, typical workday lunch so fun and nostalgic. Second, the sheer fact we only were blessed with a single game regarding ODSTs front and center will continue to be one of the biggest blunders Microsoft/343 continue to perpetuate. All those Reach attachments are partially thanked to the ODST design and the drop pods shown in Infinite's trailer (and in Halo 2) are thanked again to the sheer philosophy of ODST's.
Outside of Halo, it's why I'm hoping the next Doom goes back to Doomguy being a marine. Sometimes being a "guy ready for whatever is up the creek" is more appealing than "green super soldier".
Cheers to everyone who misses melancholy freeform jazz.
