*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 programmed the Bullfrogs to have the AI similar to that 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.

*Players can somewhat imitate a Bullfrog member by equipping all ODST armor pieces, the UA/NxRA utility, GUNGNIR knee guards, and using the Jetpack as their [[Armor abilities|Armor Ability]]. | *Players can somewhat imitate a Bullfrog member by equipping all ODST armor pieces, the UA/NxRA utility, GUNGNIR knee guards, and using the Jetpack as their [[Armor abilities|Armor Ability]]. | ||
*There is a glitch present when you push a bullfrog into a crossing of metal beams when you first acquire the jet pack. If the player pushes the bullfrog onto these beams he will sink,get stuck and the animation as if he were falling starts. He will scream forever but make no attempt to escape with his jet pack. | |||
