Desperate Measures

ViDoc about Buck and his squad of ODSTs, survivors of the war against the Covenant, and the "desperate measures" for desperate times. ODST takes place between the departure of Truth's ship from Earth in the middle of Halo 2 and the Chief's return to Earth at the start of Halo 3.

Pfhor Fighters

The cannon fodder enemies of the Marathon series, equivalent to Halo's grunts, are the tall, long-limbed, three-eyed, color-coded, masked Pfhor fighters. One can easily imagine that the idea for Grunts started with the Pfhor fighters with their limb length and height drastically reduced, removing the third visible eye, and exchanging the long staff weapon with plasma pistols, needlers, and eventually fuel rod guns. As with Grunts and Elites in Halo, enemy ranks are indicated by colors, with the more rarely occurring colors indicating relative strength.
