[[Orbital Drop Shock Troopers|ODST]] forces also make use of the War Games for their own training and simulation, including simulation for operations against the [[Flood]]. After passing early trials, the UNSC ordered an update to these simulations and a new round of prepatory exercises.{{Ref/Site|Id=FloodfightNotes|URL=https://support.halowaypoint.com/hc/en-us/articles/5178835359380-Halo-The-Master-Chief-Collection-MCC-Update-April-2022|Site=Halo Support|Page=Halo: The Master Chief Collection (MCC) Update - April 2022|D=27|M=08|Y=2022|Quote=The Gravemind’s most fervent wish is for a galaxy united in unlife, where it can look on the stars through every sentient beings eyes and raise a chorus to everlasting victory through their tortured and twisted throats. ODST forces who train to contain and eliminate the Flood have passed their first trials, but the parasite is always adapting, learning, and massing in hidden hives. To prepare for the inevitable return of the thinking dead, the UNSC has ordered an update of the War Games training simulations and a new round of containment exercises.}} | |||
