why in hell does MC JUMP out of the ship he is in (on H2 video on H:CE) onto the Covenant cruiser?!? How does he survive?

I mean I know his armor is really strong but in Fall of Reach a normal rocket takes down all of his suit's energy shield and damages the armor itself. slamming into a spaceship, and a moving one at that, would MOST LIKELY kill him, wouldn't it? Or at least hurt like hell.

It's because the Chief feels no fear. A jump out of a spaceship like that is cake for Mr. John-117

Cortana: "What if you miss?"
MC: "I won't..."
Cortana: "Oh sure, you know everything. You think that just because you're solid and you saved the galaxy from being destroyed by Halo, that that makes you better than everyone else..."
MC: "Uhh, Cortana..."
Cortana: "Shut up and let me finish! I don't give a damn who you saved, or who you are, or what you can do! I'm the AI here and you would be dead if it weren't for my skills..."
MC: "Ohh great, here we go..."
Cortana: "...and if i say you might miss, you might miss!! do you understand me boy?!?"
MC: "IF YOU DON'T SHUT UP I'M GONNA MISS MY CHANCE!"
Cortana: "Sorry... I got carried away..."

This should be on a directors cut DVD of "The Jump", performed by Master Chief :)

Its in space, lower gravity out there, and also its like if an ant fell like 20 miles from up in the air, he wouldnt die, because he's small.
but there isnt much gravity, so thats how.
Or maybe he has a parachute in his armor!

Oh,to answer the main question,MC has a stunt double to go for him.

Rofl! MC stunt double, god thats gotta be one of the worst jobs....
Wait, you can't exactly have just ONE MC stunt double, I mean, I'd think with what he'd be needing them to do, they'd go pretty quick...

MC's suite can withstand the vacuum of space! Plus like stated above he feels no fear or pain! He made the jump because he knew he could! I mean what, all he has to do is make it through space onto th ship, get through the ships energy shield, use the ship in whateva way he feels fit, save the human race, etc. Not to much for 117 is it?

Cortona wouldnt have let him do it if she didnt tink he could cuz, remember, she dies if he dies!

in the books several spartans jumped out of a pelican on re-entry to reach and fell at terminal velosity. some got hert but others were fine. so it is possible

Think about the laws of Physics here. In a zero gravity vacuume, a body in mmotion will stay in motion. Gravity overall is a very small force compared to most of the oter known physical forces in the universe. Considering that he is jumping out of a ship or something orbiting Earth, there is a small amount of gravity. I have already turned in me Physics 101 textbook so I am not going to begin calculating the actual amount of gravity there is at that altitude. I will say that it is only a small fraction of the force of gravity at ground level. Anyways, now that I am done with the lecture I will get to the solution. All MC has to do to slow down just before hitting the Covenant Cruzer it to point the battle rifle in the direction he is going and fire a few rounds. For every action there is an equal and opposite reaction. That means that as the gun puses on the bullet by means of the powder, the bullet is pushing beac on the gun by means of the exploding powder. That is one thing that has an effect on accuracy in automatic weapons.

I haven't read all of the books, only Fall of Reach. Just because his suit can withstand the vacuum of space doesn't make it strong. I mean, look at the crap suits we use today. But i guess the fact that he's the MC that was nothing to him.

Problem A: an ant WOULD die from 20 miles up. if poking one can kill it, falling over 100,000 feet will DEFINITELY kill it.
Problem B: a parachute would not work in space. without any particle resistance (air), the chute would flap uselessly, rap around MC's neck, and kill him... bad idea.

Just because your small doesn't mean you won't die. If I dropped you on something as big as the sun you would die. Gravity regardless. In the begining of first strike when the team had to jump out of the pelican, a few of them died and the rest broke limbs. MC is clearly falling farther in the trailer. Although it may suggest something of his new armor or even new features that would let him survive a fall of that magnitude.

uhh... what the 343 are you guys talkin about. the MC jumped into a space vacume. in it there is ZERO GRAVITY he is falling at a constant rate, and a damn slow one at that. there is no reason he would be hurt. i mean even today, we have astronauts who jump from ships to satilites, and visa versa.

That's true there is close to no gravity but he being propeled by the vacume of space-that can pull a tank off of the floor if it's loosely chained. The room he was in was pretty small but he was still moving perrty fast.

XBL: FTG Spartan
But you were dead a thousand times. Hopeless encounters successfully won. A man long dead, grafted to machines your builders did not understand. You follow the path, fitting in to an infinite pattern.
Yours to manipulate, to destroy and rebuild.
Now, in the quantum moment before the closure, when all become one. One moment left. One point of space and time.
I know who you are.
You are Destiny.

It's possibel that he was aiming for the energy field thing in the middle of the Covenant ship. Maybe that energy field can stop him without damaging the MJOLNIR armor or it's shields. This is possible ebcasue we don't know much about the Coveant ships adn weapons and how they work. We know a little, but not a lot.

Just an idea.

good point. we really can't tell if the ship's exterior would damage the MJOLNIR armor. however it most likely would hurt him.

Mc jumps on the Cruisers energy shield and waits till it fires its Plasma cannons so that the shield lowers and he goes in.Like what he did in The Fall of Reach book with Sam and Kelly.Then maybe goes joyriding in a new Covenant Cruiser.

yeah. That sucks that Sam died. Sucks for him anyway. I'm just glad i'm not Frankie (was that his name?). Getting your arm melted of be a fuel rod gun wouldn't exactly tickle.
