Orbital Drop Shock Troopers (Halo Wars)

Orbital Drop Shock Troopers (ODSTs), also named "Helljumpers", are one of the "Super units" in Halo Wars. They are only available to Cutter.

Gameplay
The ODSTs are more powerful than UNSC Marines (Halo Wars). |Marines]]They are a team of six, wield M90 Shotgun, have a medic and Rocket Launchers. They are actually Marines that are ungraded with "New Blood", which adds a member in the team, "RPG", which changes their grenades into a Rocket Launcher, "Medic", which makes the new added member (via New Blood) into a medic. They can be trained through Barracks and Elephants like Marines do. However once they are upgraded, ODSTs will replace Marines, and can be dropped into the lit fields via HEV pods. They somehow train faster in HEV pods.

Tactics
While using ODSTs, you should use drop them into the field because they only require five seconds to "train" one squad. Also, although they can be only dropped into lit fields, you can easily expand the field by dropping HEV pods. They can even surround a base quickily and enables you to use the leader powers on your enemy base.
