  Quick correction: ODSTs first appear in "Halo: The Fall of Reach", making them as connected to the franchise as Spartans from day 1.

  I do honestly hope we see ODST's make a return in Infinite. Having them absent from 4 and 5 (no, Buck doesn't count) always felt weird.

  Having an ODST squad would be so cool in Infinite. Like a resource to call in at forward bases on Zeta Halo

  My favorite part about ODSTs is that just because their bodies are weaker than Spartans' bodies, their bullets are also weaker than Spartans' bullets.

  I love how halo 3 odst is basically just an episode of Firefly since Buck, Dutch, and Mickey are all voiced by Firefly cast members

  The We Are ODST trailer was some of the best Halo marketing till this day!

  The whole concept of bad ass people jumping into combat FROM SPACE is just so AWESOME. I love sci fi with cool military groups and the ODST are high up there in my favourites...

  For the people who want an ODST battle royale, you guys shouldn't try to simply conform to the battle royale standard, but think up something more unique. For example, a 100+ player mode that is basically big team battle/ invasion where playable units would drop in the battlefield in either covenant or ODST drop pods and fight one another, and at the same time, a flood outbreak occurs somewhere on the map and it turns into a giant game of infection. Like a 2 way war that slowly turns into just trying to survive the flood onslaught as they consume all of the fallen soldiers.

  I actually love that you showed Cod: Infinte Warfare gameplay because I was recently replaying the campaign as a stand-in for the insurrection conflict since we don't have a Halo game for that conflict yet. The games storyline is basically a small scale version of what occurred in Halo

  Faison was one of my favorite ODSTs from the books. He was such a cool character. He and his unit gave Captain Keyes an honorary ODST tattoo after their first op together. It’s sad to realize the Arbiter was the one who killed him.
