[quote=Foster]*Unofficially, they had help from a certain AI, and a few renegade Spartans (they didn't really have a mission, and just happened to be there drinking the local beer).[/quote]So the ODSTs would have failed without them.

As for your link, nothing is mentioned about ODSTs, Prowlers, or the male Captain Keyes involved in the Battle of Rubble. So your source sucks or you failed to accurately cite your source. Eithery way you failed.
