| after reach you'd think they would reaseach a way to put generators on the guns,so they're more of a threat and are "easier" to defend,and i'm guessing the Earth is a WHOLE lot bigger then Reach cause if 20 was in orbit around Reach and 300 around Earth [[User:Voy101|Voy101]] | | after reach you'd think they would reaseach a way to put generators on the guns,so they're more of a threat and are "easier" to defend,and i'm guessing the Earth is a WHOLE lot bigger then Reach cause if 20 was in orbit around Reach and 300 around Earth [[User:Voy101|Voy101]] |

| Except for the fact that the battle of Earth took place mere months after the battle of Reach. There was just no time to actually begin modifying the existing platforms. As to numbers, Reach is listed as having near-earth gravity, and actually has a bit greater, as well as having an atmosphere much like Earth. This evidence would suggest that Reach and Earth are of similar size, and the number of orbital defense platforms merely suggest the importance placed on the defense of Earth against the importance of Reach.

| Except that Reach was supposed to be a military fortress, and since Earth is our home planet it would be more of a civilian center, and as for putting the giant generators into space that would be really expensive, make them harder to aim, and make the reactors more vulnerable to attack (because there would be no way to use a different reactor to power a station that had lost its original, or send extra power to a single station, giving it a higher rate of fire) [[User talk:Andrew-108|Andrew-108]] 00:23, September 21, 2010 (UTC)

| Why is this written in past tense? Aren't there still MAC cannons in orbit around Earth even after the events of Halo 3? And even if most were destroyed, one would think that rebuilding them would be a top defense priority for the UNSC government. | | Why is this written in past tense?

| == Aiming? ==
| |
|
| |
| So... since these things are attached to the orbital elevator, how exactly do they aim? Do they just depend on the Earth's rotation? And the orbital elevators would be made of a heck sturdy material to hold its own length while the Earth rotates.

|
| |
| What are you talking about? ODPs are free floating installations, space stations with no connection to the planet. They likely aim through the use of retro-thrusters.

| Oh, I thought they were ''attached'', but they were just ''hovering above''. [[User:PX173|'''''PX''''']][[User_talk:PX173|''1'']]''7''[[Special:Contributions/PX173|''3'']] 14:14, November 30, 2009 (UTC)

| |
| that would still make it really hard to aim, given that you would have to aim the entire station, but i guess thats why they use AIs and propel the rounds to 50% of lightspeed (for range) [[User talk:Andrew-108|Andrew-108]] 00:28, September 21, 2010 (UTC)

| == Geosynchronous ==
| |
|
| |
| The person who posted the trivia claiming the Platforms might be named after the location they float above is false, Geosynchronous implies that the stations simply orbit in a way that they can be seen in the sky at the same time every day in the same spot, The word for what he thinks Geosynchronous means is Geostationary, Alternatively, it could be a mistake on Bungies part and they got the words confused too.

| ==New full-body ODP image from ''Halo 2'': Is it okay to add?==

| [[File:H2-SuperMAC-ODP-Render.png|right|200px|thumb|A full-body preview of the Super MAC ODP from ''Halo 2''.]]

|
| |
| Hey, I found an image which seemed to be a legitimate full-body screenshot of the "Super" MAC ODP from ''Halo 2''. But I was wondering what others might think of it, and if it might be okay to add it to the article, in the Gallery section? --[[User talk:Xamikaze330|Xamikaze330]] 13:28, 21 June 2012 (EDT)Xamikaze330

| == Classes ==
| |
| Should it be added that there are multiple classes of orbital defense platforms of varying sizes and armaments? There is little to no information on the other classes, not even names, which is why I ask.--[[Special:Contributions/184.1.71.145|184.1.71.145]] 18:58, 28 June 2016 (EDT)
