For the first time in the series, players control Orbital Drop Shock Troopers as opposed to [[Spartan (multiplayer)| | For the first time in the series, players control Orbital Drop Shock Troopers as opposed to [[Spartan (multiplayer)|spartans]] or [[Elite (multiplayer)|elites]]. Unlike prior games where ODSTs were based off of marine ai, the player controlled ODSTs have similar gameplay to that of player characters from ''[[Halo 3]]''. Regenerating [[stamina]] replaces [[energy shields]], functioning essentially the same but with different [[Damage_types#Halo_3:_ODST|material]] properties. [[Health pack]]s make a return and [[health]] no longer regenerates. Aside from having minor statistical differences from spartans such as a lower jump height and slower movement speed, ODSTs are incapable of [[dual wielding]] or using [[equipment]] outside of [[mod]]s and special [[gametype]] settings. Instead troopers have [[Visual Intelligence System, Reconnaissance|VISR]] mode, allowing enhanced vision in low light environments and access to mission intel, including an overhead map. While not inherently a character trait, the melee damage for many weapons were reduced to facilitate the fantasy that in ''Halo 3: ODST'' players are controlling a regular human weaker than the [[Master Chief (gameplay)|Master Chief]]. | ||

All playable ODSTs share the same character model with the exception of Dare, who uses a unique feminine model. The models load different region permutations to make up the different actor variants. These variants are <code>sergeant</code> (Buck), <code>romeo</code>, <code>mickey</code>, <code>dutch</code>, <code>odst01</code> (Rookie), and <code>johnson</code>. Interestingly despite having the exact same appearance as Rookie, the three additional co-op appearances are saved as their own unique variants named <code>odst02</code>, <code>odst03</code>, and <code>odst04</code> respectively.{{Ref/File|Id=H3ODSTEK_ODST_model|H3ODSTEK|tags\objects\characters\odst_recon\odst_recon.model}} | |||
