These chaps. I guess marines wouldn't look at all worried and be a bit more sure of their deployment :)

I love that video ... I guess you saw it on TMP also TRC.  Since I don't play HALO, I was told on TMP that ODST = Orbital Drop Shock Troops ... I like that !  Especially with my past in the 101.  :cool:     And as I was told on TMP, the song is Gaelic (I guessed that right !), but they are speaking Hungarian ... Don't ask me why ?   :rock:   I really do like the video regardless !  And as I watched the video, I noticed on the dress uniforms, I saw a US ARMY CIB 2d Award and French Jump Wings ... Cool !!  It appears to me that the ODST drop in one man pods.  Instead of Squad drop pods, like SMs.  I guess a 1 man pod is like with Paras ... one troop per chute ...   Go ODST !!!!   :grin:

With a one man drop maybe its a mis mass from Starship Troopers?

Yep saw it on TMP.

I guess Hungarian as its cheaper to make stuff there than Hollywood? Plus emphasises with the other details its an earth wide force. Though language wise all I'm thinking is the same problems as the Austro-Hungarian Empire (as Eddy Izzard once memorably said, famous for sod all :) )!

Still, District 9 made in South Africa, this in Hungary, is the future of Sci Fi films overseas? Less costs and the different accents and languages more acceptable to that audience?

Well if we were fighting aliens ... I imagine ODST would be like an FFL type outfit ...
