Description A more traditional ODST concept, heavily derived off of "Mickey" from Halo 3: ODST, with a little touch of Emile and "Sharkface" from Red Vs Blue tossed in.

The orignal draft of this design had the 40mm grenades in a belt that went all around the front, more similar tow what Emile from Halo: Reach had. However, it was pointed out that there's a reason you never see stuff there in modern day military kits....it makes it incredibly hard to bend at the waist. So the center grenades were promptly removed and what remains is more similar to old fashioned 'deuce' gear in use by the US military since Vietnam and still highly popular in certain circles.

And yeah, the shark face is a little over the top, but we can have a little fun, can't we? I rode around Iraq for a year with a rubber chicken tied to the top of my turret, so there's some room to have a little bit of crazy tossed in.

Love the shark face. Reminds me of one of our black hawk chiefs.

Thanks! I love those black hawk masks with the shark face on them, and all the personal touches in general people tend to give their armor.
