Who said they couldn't have been emergency deployed and deployed BEFORE the POA crashed? :science:

[Advancebo]

In the book (Halo: The Flood), it said the ODST guys dropped down in their HEV pods, when they were evacuating the POA.

Never played that far into H3
Also, aren't the drop pods too big to deploy anything more than perhaps 3 from a single pely?

The Halo 2 E3 2003 Demo shows them in the pelican. Also, Pelicans don't launch HEV pods. The HEVs are quite large and would make no sense on a pelican.

In the book (Halo: The Flood), it said the ODST guys dropped down in their HEV pods, when they were evacuating the POA.

So this means that you can just have clusters of 6-10 pods placed in parts of the map close to objectives.

E: WTF? Who changed my user title to "Desolated Moon?"

The HEV pods themselfs are approximately 18 feet tall.

Nice, it looks better now. Less over powering crispness :P

[Siliconmaster]

Beautiful- much better. It blends on with the environment as well as being cool-looking.

[Advancebo]

I like the one in the middle on the first pic. Or if not, maybe make the one you chose a bit lighter?
