*As elements of the [[ODST]]s themselves are inspired by the soldiers in ''Starship Troopers'', it is likely that the Bullfrogs are inspired by the novel as well, since the troopers in it make extensive use of jetpacks. | *As elements of the [[ODST]]s themselves are inspired by the soldiers in ''Starship Troopers'', it is likely that the Bullfrogs are inspired by the novel as well, since the troopers in it make extensive use of jetpacks. Additionally, in gameplay some of the Bullfrogs refer to using a jetpack as "bouncing", just as the soldiers in ''Starship Troopers'' do. | ||
*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 not unusual for a player to have lost half of their fire team 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, if a Bullfrog falls off a platform he will make no attempt to jump back up to safety, thus falling to his death.
