Name a cooler futuristic soldier than the ODST. You can't.
Titanfall 2 Pilots are pretty close.
Warhammer fags before you post let’s just admit 40k is for trannies

>>720831527They are fine, but appeal of Halo is cute grunts.

>>720831527don't know if these are futuristic enough but i've always liked them
>>720831621Before Titanfall 2, anyway. The 2nd game turned them from someone who had literally survive life or death training with a 90% fatality rate (regardless of how silly that might be) to just any random shmuck who can put on a jump kit and become a weekend warrior. At least in the first game being a Pilot actually meant something substantial, and felt like it too with all the flavour dialogue from Grunts, your support team, your Titan, et-al and etc. Fuck the second game so much, I wish it never existed.

>>720832669i don't really think pilots are cooler if they're space marines desu. the implants and fatality rate are cool I guess but for something with space western flare having independent pilots and variety between them where you have both organics, people with implants, and full conversion cyborgs is cool.
>>720831789You won't be laughing when you suddenly have 60 new breathing holes.
>>720833085Except they're not. They're literally just Joes who survived incredibly gruelling training. Fuck, I mean, they're fucking Elites, for crying out loud. They pilot incredibly complicated weapons of war that require years of specialised training to earn certifications for and spearhead attacks for each faction, of course it makes sense they'll have training that reflects that. Having some random dude just pick up a Jump Kit and suddenly be on par with long-term seasoned veterans just doesn't make sense and ruins the perception of them because now any fucking retard can be a Pilot instead of someone who had to work for 2 different certifications just to get enlisted.
>>720833085Also, my bad, I mixed up what the text says and it's just a 98% failure rate for one of the IMC's training grounds, not fatality rate. Still, that's something to be expected from special forces, a lot of people end up washing out because they can't make it.

I don't really think a single campaign underdog story ruins the elite top of the food chain allure of pilots more than the IMC getting clowned on by macallan going "HOWEVER..." after every single campaign mission of tf1
>>720831527I can't. ODSTs are pure unfiltered KINO.
Helghast mog them so hard, it isn't even funny. I wished more sci-fi armies had a bunch of niche and different looking uniforms like the Helghast like the UNSC Marines and Army look practically the same. Which while realistic is kinda bland. Like we are so far in the future, why not have exoskeleton special forces that mimics the strength of a spartan. Maybe it's explained somewhere in the books but I never read them
