Halo 3: ODST Drop Pod Intro [1080p 60FPS] - The Master Chief Collection 

"inverting controls" Ah yes, and here we have someone who likes his FPS characters to control like fighter jets.

“Replacements?” “This far into the war, who isn’t?” Well.. there’s Johnson

"Relax rookie, he don't mean nothing. Besides, now's one of those times... pays to be the strong silent type." Favorite line from this game

"What the hell am I suppose to do with this INSIDE a Covenant ship?" *Keeps it anyway*

Your job isn't to avoid going to hell. Your job is to make sure it's crowded when you get there.

"Humanity is at War with an alien alliance known as "The Covenant". "We are losing." Deep and sad...

Feet first into hell gentlemen.

there were hundreds of troopers that were suppose to land on that ship. only 1 squad (this squad) survived

People didn't like odst at first. They didn't want to be frail little Marines. They wanted to be super soldiers that rain death everywhere. But after awhile, folks started to grow on odst. I bet if 343 announced a new odst themed game I'm sure there'd be some major hype.

Don't know why but seeing the In Amber Clad actually flying toward the Carrier feels so great.

*we are losing* When it’s implied losing means extinction for humanity, this is a really sombre reminder

Just imagine the drop in VR. It would be crazy.

I just realized you can see all the other ODST squads dissapearing into the carrier's position a moment after Veronica changes trajectory, they landed an got send into slipspace with tons of Covenant.... Imagine a ODST mission like that...

“The navy put up a good fight”- Mickey “Course they did! It’s Earth!”- Dutch Imagine humanity spread out through the stars so much that most people don’t consider Earth their homeworld?

Always loved the ODST's and Marines. Trying to keep them alive in every game.

Buck and Romeo became Spartans, Dutch retired. Mickey was a traitor and Rookie died. What happened to Dare?

"You gonna tell us her name Gunny?" "MS. Naval Intelligence..." As a kid, I never thought about the gravity of those words. As an adult, I now know that having an operative from ONI with you on a Spec Ops mission spelt utter disaster for them

4:34 I love the attention to detail in these scenes. The fact that you can compare Halo 2 and Halo 3: ODST side-by-side in the opening scenes is amazing. You can even see the In Amber Clad if you look hard enough.

before Helldivers, there was the ODST

First off: wow, inverted controls gamers... they do exist! o.o Second: I loved ODST. Never quite got why so many people hated it. I loved being more vulnerable to covenant attacks and seeing the war from a soldier's perspective instead of a Spartan's.

ODST was hands down the most immersive of the trilogy.

The "we are losing." in the intro crawl always gets me. The OG Bungie games did such a great job of portraying humanity on its last legs :')

5:00 Ow!

"Troopers! We are green! And very, VERY mean!" gives me goosebumps to this day

It's so unfortunate for Rookie to die. He was a great character and would've been a good replacement for Master Chief if the time would ever come.

I like how you can just see the In Amber Clad to the right of the cruiser before it jumps.

Such an underrated title, actually one of the best Halo games. A lonely, adventure as the Rookie & O'Donnel's score was the right type of moody, sad and forlorn emotionally. I've played this one more than the others. I wished it was more popular and that it got the Blur graphic upgrade that Halo-2 got.

Am i the only one that loved odst? I miss playing this and reach

I love this so much. *screen blacks out* *music stops* *silence for a few seconds* "Ouch"

I like how rookie was just chilling napping in his pod and as soon as romeo woke him up he immediately gets ready for a drop. That aside what’s really dope is when your put in control of a character like buck or rookie it’s tells you their name where they dropped and the time after the drop.

As of 2554, The Rookie is dead, Dutch has retired, and Mickey is a traitor

Has to be the best intro in the series

“Troopers, we are green, and very, very mean!” I love that so much.

4:35 you can see the ship of master chief.

4:36 Non of the pods went into the slip space rupture, and from the looks of the squads positioning they would’ve been the first to drop. Now although ODSTs are more lethal than an ordinary marine they are still susceptible to death it’s not as if they’re invincible, in the trailer recon we see the other pods also land meaning alpha nine was not the only squad to survive. And given the pods were all scattered over a (metropolis) like New Mombasa the shear scale of the city is so vast it’s possible we just didn’t run into the other squads given they were most likely given other tasks as well. Also when we see buck land when it comes to his mission we see other pods as well. Also brute packs were now taking over the city, the Great schism has just begun and the brutes are in charge now. Given their savage nature and brutish instincts, it’s possible when night came packs formed and began combing the disarrayed streets for meals. That also could be another reason why we don’t see other ODSTs or their corpses when roaming around. And judging from the trajectory it looks like the blast diverted the ODSTs to the left where the metropolitan area dwelled below and not the right where the ocean was.

You can see the In amber clad going through the portal of you look very closely

I guess Rookie is supposed to be you under the helmet ? Kinda like halo reach.

The thing i like about this game was its dark atmosphere in the city were its quiet and the rain makes an amazing feature for the atmosphere

EDIT: Remember the days of Linkin Park montages to Halo? ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-PW_u7J1uixM.html Imagine this intro for a Halo Battle Royale.

“Troopers we are green and very very mean”

Kids will never know how fun this game was

Still really sucks knowing that Alpha-Nine was the only squad that survives out of all the ODSTs.

I think I can safely say the opening text crawl for this game is probably my favorite bit in Halo. The matter-of-fact text that blatantly says “We are losing,” is very cold and militaristic, almost casual. But you can feel the desperation in the words among the rain and the soundtrack, it feels like a soldier on the brink of breaking down. There’s so many layers just to the text crawl and that specific part makes me tear up a lot

343 BETTER GIVE US AN ODST GAME IF WE DON’T GET HELLDIVERS 2!!!

I'm now remembering that I should be playing the Master Chief Collection.

That moment when you jump out of the drop pod, then feel frail, alone, and scared in a Halo game for the first time.

my all time favorite cutscene in the game

5:00 turn up the volume and you can hear an "OW!"

Just noticed the little detail that the slipspace rupture ate a hole in the ground where it opened. You see the buildings flying through space in the Delta Halo cutscene but never see the slipspace rupture damage in Halo 2.

Helldivers, this is your democracy officer. Time to spread democracy

3:50- The swelling music as you drop from orbit... It's just... perfection! So beautiful! I get goosebumps every time! If nothing else, the soundtrack is incredible! Definitely an underrated gem of a game!

Anyone else get goosebumps when Buck said 'Troopers we are green and very, very mean'

am I the only one who saw In Amber Clad jump with the Carrier?

That intro😭 brings me back to the good times

I love how you can see the In Amber Clad rushing towards the slipspace rupture just before the jump. It's soo tiny that they could have just left it out, but they put it in. I never noticed it before because ODST was the first halo game I ever played, but since recently playing Halo 2 on MCC it's soo cool to come back to this cutscene and see the ship.

Can't believe Rookie is dead.

Covenant cruiser jumps: Rookie: OW 5:00 LMAOOOOO

This game is so gorgeous. I love ODST.

Still my favorite intro to any of the halo games. With that being said in amber clad was so tiny compared to that ship. Its a wonder how the humans even won that war.

"Troopers we are green and very very mean"

"Helljumper, Helljumper where you been? Feet first into hell and back again, when i die please bury me deep, place an MA5 down by my feet, don't cry for me don't shed no tear, just pack my box with the P.T gear, because one early morning around Zero' five, there'll be a rumble in the ground there'll be lightening in the sky, don't you worry don't come un-done, its just my ghost on a P.T run!"

still to this day. This intro cut scene gives me the goosebumps

This is a timeless gem, it’s truly a work of art

So many years later this game and unforgettably the soundtrack just still hits me so emotionally. It's really a work of art.

Damn, the nostalgia I'm getting from this..

Beautiful game and very sad when you find out what happens to rookie :,(

I never realized until today that the thousand ton space elevator flexes and bends when the slipspace rupture happens. Which just goes to show the pure terror of a slipspace rupture in atmosphere.

ODST will always be my favourite halo. My friends and I waited months for it to play together. When it finally released, I was at work and they were at school. They got off about 6 hours earlier then me due to scheduling. When I came home, they joked they already beat the game. "What the hell guys! It's only been a few hours and you beat it!?" "Were just kidding, we waited for you" That 4 man drop never felt better and still brings tears to my eyes thinking of us meeting up in the city for the first time. I was Romeo

5:00 "Ow!" Appropriate reaction.

"They're pulling back? Why?" We damn well know why.

I was in 10th grade when this came out, there was so much hype for it at school the day it came out it was crazy.

This shit is lowkey exactly how infantry dudes chat with and exist with each other in real life it’s so crazy😂

One thing that makes me cringe is how the ODST has blue lens but their HUD is orange while Master Chief's lens is orange but his HUD is blue.

One of the most epic, immersive intros in video games.

It’s cool to think that master chief was literally fighting a scarab while they were talking

“What the hell am I supposed to do with this” Idk but you’ll be glad you had it

First off, who plays inverted??? (Trying to be as not "judgy" as possible here) also finally 343 did something right

Even though I have fun playing as a Spartan but in my point of view that the Marines and the odst did more jobs better than the Spartans themselves thats why I keep them alive because I need their support.

Played this game so many years ago and even now it still gives me chills

I think it's really cool how their plan was to literally land on the ship and fight to death.

"Get set! for a combat drop" .....chills.

The good old days 😭

Ok, I know this may sound dumb, but you have to know that I played ODST when I was like 8, and Halo 3 when I was 10, but I never realized that you can see the In Amber Clad flying into the rupture until now

I absolutely adore the use of the “Match begins in 3 2 1” beeps for the pod launching sequence

can you imagine making a paintball arena shaped like the fallen city from ODST and the way to go into the arena you're set into simulated pods and they move like those simulator games where you drop all the way down and feel the whole process and you leave your pod to play in the arena. i think it be lit

Damn, I always forget how much I liked ODST. Felt so similar to the other games but so different at the same time.

One of the coolest scenes in gaming history to me.

Ohhh!!! I love this intro cutscene so fucking much!!! It gets me so excited, and I love the music too! This first cutscene is such a masterpiece. It's the best halo intro cutscene out of the entire franchise. I love it.

The In Amber Clad is in this cutscene Near the Carrier at 4:28

I love how Rookie's just sleeping in his pod.

I can't help but play this over and over again, is was just so much more atmospheric then the other Halo games in the series. I've been a fan for about 13 years, and I play this one more the others.

Something about playing the ODST’s was so cool

6:47 dead IRL

"We're goin in hard" 😂

Loved this game. Had the first and best firefight too

This is quite possibly my favourite Halo game. Such good fun. Such a nice atmosphere.

3:02 Is that a crack about that CE(the first game)'s third mission? XD

you deserve all those likes and at least no covanent have dilomed the video

The Drop has the Respawn sound from the multiplayer. ODSTs don't die. They just respawn on Bloodgulch.

I enjoyed odst but my biggest beef was that suppressors were just for show. I snuck up on sleeping grunts and popped one then they all woke up and started shooting.
