An ODST is short for "Orbital Drop Shock Trooper" most commonly found in Halo 3 & Halo wars. They were nicknamed "helljumpers" because they don't travel on pelicans, they are shot directly from a specialized ODST Dropper ship far up in the atmosphere. They drop in pods that allow the ODST soldier to land anywhere in Halo. They are stronger and more advanced than Marines, but mainly, Marines can be trained into specialized ODST's. They carry a Silenced SMG and a Magnum with them at all time. Only ODST's have these weapons. They have the power to jack weaker covenant vehicles, such as Ghosts, and Wraiths. Also, Choppers. They are probably the third most badass forces in the UNSC. I love Arbiter and the Spartans (:.
Spartan: I heard some helljumpers should be here to back us up.
Marine: The fuck are helljumpers?
Spartan: Retard, Orbital Drock Shop Troopers! They drop in pods and whoop some ass.
Marine: So, that is short for ODST? Then what are helljumpers?
Spartan: You have alot to learn child.
