I don't expect Spartan gear. We might get that helmet that one chick wore for a tiny bit, but otherwise it's gonna be regular odst armor and halo guns. If they could replace the pod with an ODST version and mod the dropship to look like a pelican id be happy. The big thing that's gonna suck is that the weapons likely won't have mods or attachments if killzone is any indication.
Devs already expressed that they're open to the idea of ODSTs but Spartans are off the table, which makes complete sense since Helldivers aren't super soldiers, just special ops (in more ways than one). Getting Dare's Recon helmet would be cool, I'd actually like to see more Mjolnir helmets since from my knowledge ODST armor has some cross compatibility with them. If not that it would be nice to just have different helmets with varying patterns, colors, and attachments, kinda like the B-01 helmet for the Helldivers.
It would be a cool idea, but considering that Hellpods break into the ground and pop the payload out it would take a lot of time and effort to make an ODST pod. There's a mod that does this, actually, but it looks and acts strange since it has to accommodate turrets and the like. The Pelican getting a skin is a bit more feasible since they're basically the same thing and they'd just have to change the attachment point for vehicles to the back instead of the bottom. Might cause sizing issues though since I assume the Halo Pelican is way bigger than the Helldivers one.
I don't know much about Killzone and if the games ever featured an attachment system anywhere like the multiplayer, but Halo has had some attachment stuff, specifically in Halo 5's Warzone mode where you can put muzzle brakes, bayonets, and scopes on some UNSC guns. If we do get some attachments I'm expecting it to purely be for the M7 since the ODST's got red dots, lasers, and suppressors on theirs. It would be a major missed opportunity if they didn't allow some kind of customization with that. Thinking about it now, I'm guessing they're gonna avoid MA5's for the most part since none of them have traditional sights and instead have digital sights that link up with the user's HUD. Best candidate would be the MA5K since it vaguely has iron sights. If we are gonna get a rifle, my bet would be on the Battle Rifle since it's an iconic weapon and actually has a scope on it.
Some of the Cutting Edge helmets reminds me a lot of the Gungnir helmet variant from Reach, though definitely not identical (EX-00 Prototype X and EX-03 Prototype 3). Basically the whole hermetically sealed helmet that presumably is only able to see via the camera lenses on it.
They can't get most things to work in this fucking game.
To give them a little credit, I think it’s just the nature of using a game engine that’s out of support since like 2019. I’m impressed they have anything working but grateful this isn’t just more Unreal slop. The game has such a unique feel that just isn’t present in any other game in recent memory.
Not enough fire.
Was founded by people that left Bungie because they hated everything about how everything that everyone liked about 1-reach. Hence why elites were brought back as bad guys in 4
I assumed it's a reference to the Curtis SB2C-5 Helldiver from WW2.
