Bullfrogs

Line 37:

==Trivia==

*The ODSTs are heavily inspired by the Mobile Infantry from [[wikipedia:Robert Heinlein|Robert Heinlein's]] novel ''[[wikipedia:Starship Troopers|Starship Troopers]]''. However, the Bullfrogs seem to show particularly strong influence from the novel, as they, like the Mobile Infantry, make extensive use of jetpacks. Also like the Mobile Infantry, the Bullfrogs refer to the use of jetpacks as "bouncing".

*Despite being trained in the use of jetpacks, if a Bullfrog ~~falls off a platform he~~ will ~~make no attempt to jump back up to safety, thus falling~~ to ~~his death~~. Because of this, it is common for a player to have lost several members of his fireteam to falling by the end of the mission. Similarly~~, as the Bullfrogs follow a set course of jumps~~, they often jump into large groups of Covenant forces and are quickly killed.

*Despite being trained in the use of jetpacks, a Bullfrog will never use his jetpack except when preprogrammed to do so in specific locations. Because of this, it is common for a player to have lost several members of his fireteam to falling by the end of the mission. Similarly, they often jump into large groups of Covenant forces and are quickly killed. This is odd, considering that Bungie could have simply programmed the Bullfrogs to have the AI of [[Elite Ranger]]s.
