[quote][b]Posted by:[/b] Darkside97 Yes i have read the books, i am not a moron i know what I'm talking about. I just find that the odst has a tactical advantage, and that alone can win a battle. Have you played halo wars, when playing as the ship commander in skirmish you can drop odst pods anywhere, the Spartans don't. Also they move fairly slow.Don't forget that everyone has there limits.[/quote]Spartans can just as easily be dropped from drop pods, as shown in Halo 2 in the beginning of "Delta Halo". And in reality, the spartans can run up to bursts of 70mph. So both your arguments are invalid.
