*Some have speculated that the [[Black Body Suit|Vacuum-enabled Body Suit]] used by the young [[SPARTAN-II Program|SPARTAN-IIs]] in ''[[Halo: Fall of Reach]]'' before they got their [[MJOLNIR Powered Assault Armor|MJOLNIR Armor]] is the same suit that the ODSTs wear, but this is merely speculation, and has never been confirmed. The vast differences between them strongly suggest that they are not, in fact, the same suit. For example, while the body suits in Fall of Reach were so form-fitting that the Spartans could fit coveralls over them, the ODST Armor is almost as bulky as the MJOLNIR.

*The suits used in [[Halo 3: ODST]] may be a different variant of the normal ODST armor. The evidence for this is that the necks and fingers are not sealed in the game, while all previous incarnations of ODSTs were completely sealed. Also it seems that it may be a more heavily armored variant because it seems to be able to take more abuse than the standard ODST Armor. Despite this, it appears similar to the Halo 3 version.

*Although ODST Battle Armor is supposedly able to operate in vacuum, in all of the live-action shorts which feature ODSTs their helmets are able to come off quite easily, which would result in the death of the user if they were to go into the vacuum of space.
