The upcoming release of Halo 3: Orbital Drop Shock Troopers (ODST) made me ask, "Where were they in the game?" and then I remembered that most of the time they were dead and I was fighting the covenant solo. ODST seem pretty badass, but they don't seem to be very skillful in the art of survival. Maybe it's the weaker armor, maybe it's because they weren't raised as infants to be super-human Spartans, but something tells me they won't be as much of a tank as Master Chief.
