*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". | *The ODSTs are heavily inspired by the Mobile Infantry from [[wikipedia:Robert Heinlein|Robert Heinlein's]] novel ''[[wikipedia:Starship Troopers|Starship Troopers]]''.

*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 [[Sangheili Ranger|Elite Rangers]]. | *Despite being trained in the use of jetpacks, a Bullfrog will never use his jetpack except when preprogrammed to do so in specific locations.
