Halo Reach: How to make an ODST Drop Pod 

Absolute classic

Don’t mind me, just stopping by for the nostalgia.

One of the best drop pods I've seen

Thanks for the childhood

This is pretty awesome. The power-up method really seems to fix the pod-breaks-apart-and-you-die problem. I'm gonna try this asap! Thanks.

Who’s here in 2019

Thanks dude, nobody else made a bid about how to do this

Only took me 11 years to build

Thats fuckin awesome dude! I never enven thought it was remotly possible to have drop pods in forge. Ill have to put some of these on my carrier in forge.

Tried about 2 yrs ago came back to have another go at it

my friend made a drop pod you could actually sit in and you had to shoot a release lever to make it fall. it was pretty epic

dude, thank you!! i think it's really cool how yo put the wapon but with overshield AND weapon would work perfectly :0)

it was really easy to follow instead of everyone elses;]

Thanks man! This helped heaps. :D

Good job Nick, hope to see you post more videos soon!

@LuckyFootFilms I think he means more towards object spawning. When you press X on a barracde you will see an option called advanced. select advanced and go down to were it says spawn time. Change it there. if it isn't in advanced then it is someplace in the menu after you press X on the barracade. this works will all objects.

thanks simple,easy,works and i live

This will help with my new series

I remember this in halo 3.. good times..

Thank you. I will give credit to this if necessary for future maps/videos.

@deethe1killer123 If you're talking about the part were the pods break in mid flight (the barriers just splits from each other) it actually happens to ODSTs. There have been cases were an ODST's pod would break apart, killing the occupant inside.

@moneyman8280 well in a gametype, u can modify the settings for it (example invasion). lets say u want the spartans to fall 30meters to the drop zone without dying u give them custom powerup and in the gametype settings u modify the custom powerup traits to make the player invinsible for 10 seconds lets say. so ya its just a kind of placeholder, incase u need a special power for ur gametype.

change the place at start to false on the first barracade, start new round, move the second one down a knotch so that if the first one was there, they would phase together, then when the first one spawns put it back to place at start true. now the barricades are phased together and wont break apart until they hit the ground usually.

Tanks alot this really helped

@babymonkey1245 you don't exactly need a tunnel, but he initial floor that allows access to the HEV needs to be pretty tight on it.

nice, for small barricades try a small crate with 2 small barricades on and to launch, use an explosion

@YoungPrototype go to any object (destroyable or usable of course) and press x, then go to advanced, and set the min count and max count to the highest number possible. this number is the amount of that object that is currently on the map. :)

That high pitched EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE kills me xP

i like how you make it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

thanks for showing this video

cool and good luck trying to pull off the other way

@MorenoSchipper Instead of pressing a then changing fixed/phased to normal, just go over it DO NOT PRESS A and press x, then change it. that fixed mine. If anyone else experienced it falling apart, thumbs this up. I dont care about thumbs, just to help othrs.

i did thesame thing but higherand one thing you could do to assure safety is add one-way sheilds for on the way down like me

@LuckyFootFilms no,making the pod spawn in place right

i recently got a map with a small pod it works via launch system a small box 2 small baricades tall ones on each side that touch each other like these except their bottoms touch the box, you enter by a ramp to the top jump in then hit the launch system and go the launch system works by a landmine you shoot that causes explosives to go off under the ship to the pod the box reston a 2way shield door so when the explosive goes off it throws it up then it goes through takes a few tries to get right

thats awsome...can u tell me how u rotate the parts? i cant figure out how...

to make a small drop pod u slightly interlock them w/ a shotty (or any wep) completely surrounded in building blocks and then its like a hole in the floor u go in and pull the shotty and it falls

@HaloDCman There's also an x in the top right corner, it closes it \

The resin u survied the first drop is when your over shiled is charging you don't die well falling

@ordinarycuber can't you change the settings from phased to fixed to normal? (normal = able to move. fixed = can not move. phased = can move through over objects?) sorry if im wrong i do not play halo often

you should make an enormous frigate with an armory, hangar, and drop pods in a line like a real frigate in the first halo odst scene in the mission "Prepare to Drop"

Would you have to use two barricades, or could you simply construct a box yourself with Building Blocks?

@LuckyFootFilms trust me, he is, the way he spelled "sucks" makes it clear.

I have a space ship map and it's called odst drop pod station and theres a mine and u shoot it and you fall and there's a ship full of drop pods

My friend made a epic base in the sky and had a drop pod it was epic and he made a D-day nape it was epic

i tried it and it worked will it still work if u add more baracades

Thnx 4 the help

how do you not make it break apart i did it exactly like you and it keep breaking as soon as i left it.

my voice is stil maturing,but i can still body act,and i have loads of forge maps,and making more for machinima purpose,my GT is B1oodCrusader,i also have an alternate profile for another body actor,but i'm in the process of getting another controler so i can use that character

help! i made some pods pewrfectly but when they respond they are a mess and every time i ride them they fall apart in mid air but i dont die from the fall because of overshield so yea only problems are respawning and flight

@Stargate674 what one have you played?

i fucking love drop pods

dude thats fucking beast mode!!!!!

@MorenoSchipper This is my least favourite method of drop pod construction. The best one is a crate, two barricades (small) on top, held up by fusion coils (fixed). Put a shield door in between your pod and the fusion coils and make a trial of fusion coils leading to a nearby trip mine. Hop in the top of the pod and shoot the mine. This is the method that works better than the other three methods i have seen. If you use the method in the video though, use the overshield NOT the fixed weapon.

oh, lol. i was about to say something about the assassins creed symbol, but someone already got it :P

Every time the pod respawns it gets messed up and loses the triangle so u coudnt fix it in slayer what shud I do?

Iconic

@YoungPrototype It can't, either wait a bite, make more, or just start a new round.

memory's man

@Stupidparrot5 i own ODST, and it does not have forge, the Disk 2 has forge, and Disk 2 = Halo 3 Mythic Map Pack, so its Halo 3!

wat do u do to make the barricades respwan

awesome

how do u turn the object without doing rotation snap

I miss the aunti dot loading screen :(

Thanks.

i made a drop pod from a small barricade but its more like a your surfing though the air

@SpartanOmega804 I think Ive played you on Live,is your GT SpartanOmega or something like that?

i did it with sniper it worked better than powerup

i think just using a crate would be easier like u get on the crate and there is a fixed bomb underneath it and blow the bomb up, letting it down

you know if u put a weapon fixed at the top of the inside of the drop pod then you can make it drop on command by picking up the floating weapon

@shaunmakesvids1 custom powerup works better because it respawns without getting rid of a gun

The only reason why you survived is because during the overshield is spreading out through out the health meter your invincible.

I can't ever get it to work more than once, they always get messed up and respawn at different times.

How du u set the drop pod tu instant respawn?

can someone help me whenever i try this it respawns with the two barricades all janked up can someone please tell how to fix this

can you land it on a block?

well i have a crate wit two small bariicades over fuision coils and a landmine to drop

how did u find out how to make a drop pod

This is much better than using walls!

a LOT better than halo 3 version

I tried it and it did not work because as soon i got the pod un fixed it fell to the ground

@Stupidparrot5 omg man, disk 2 IS Halo 3 its self! Its the Halo 3 Mythic Map Pack!

i only have one problem, the pods themselves, what i mean is when i test it before i get in the pod tilts back so i cant get in so could you help me with it? my gamertag is jaspersen21

MINE IS EPIC AS you are falling once you get closer to the ground my screens sides turn all orange becuase the pods smacking my head wich makes it look like im falling ut of space entering the atmosphere and when ever it lands the pod gets stuck in the ground

when it spawns back, it spawn messed up please reply :( my odst ship is not complete yet D:

i love forge world you can do any thing there

you shoud try to make elevators on forge world with this method it might work

what u record with ?

i made this and the only problem was spawning,can u tell me how to fix it plz,if u know how at least

I couldnt figure it out because of the freakin huge paragraph in my face. But, I have a suggestion. If you put that paragraph in the bigging, you could make one of those pause thingings when you edit it on youtube, or you could put an annonation on it saying to pause the video, so people could read it, then press play to finish the video without the paragraph in their way.

You have to be a really good fisher to masterbait.

@Stupidparrot5 ODST doesnt have forge... When you buy ODST you get a 2nd disk which includes Halo 3's mutliplayer, that one includes forge, but its not as good as Reach's forge.

im using this for my map

i need help mine brewaks apart before i can jump in it

sweet

what i usually do is make a 1x1 block and use the two barricades

anybody know what a custum powerup does???????

good method but i somehow prefer the method where you put 2 barricades on top of a crate. cool vid though

ahh someone help me it wont work, they always fall apart!

can u put on file share?
