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..."

The funny part about that is that is sounds like it could really happen.

ye its the funniest thing i've read on these forums in ages good one masterchief 117a. And if he did the same thing in fall of reach with sam and kelly over a much greater distance and lived then this will be a piece of cake for him.

remenber this is just a make believe game. if bungie waunted to they could make him dance on the sun or have a tea party in the middle of a black hole. SO DON'T MAKE A BIG DEAL OVER SOMETHING THAT'S NOT EVEN REAL.

Yeah, what exactly will the MC do when he gets aboard?

Will he just hide away until it reaches Earth, or will he make his way to the Bridge and force the ships commander to surrender?

And also, how exactly did MC get from the Covenant cruiser in the H2 Trailer, to a Pelican dropship in the E3 2003 Demo?

The E3 2003 demo takes place a bit into the game - it isn't the first level. The Announcement Trailer takes place before the game starts. So we'll find out in Halo 2 itself.

Its a great clip anyhow :) really brings to life what the jumps were link in the books, so am sure its not a problem for him seeing as he's done some insane things before....jumping huge distances in space, falling from a burning pelican, kicking so much Covenant backside, blowing up the odd ringworld, flying a Banshee with a nuke on it into a Covenant Cruiser, and heck...thats on a light day :P so whats a jump :)

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.



Well, the thing is that if gravity is not strong enough, and the wind resistance is not low enough to bring your terminal velocity to a point that would shatter your body or otherwise severly injure you, then it does not matter how far you would fall. I think this weas the point the guy was trying to make about an ant. I myself do not know if, in Terra's atmosphere and gravitational pull, an ant's terminal velocity would be sufficient to cause a splatter. It just seems to me that they would have enough wind resistance to keep their velocity low enough to avoid squishiness. Sure they can be smashed between the fingers, but the pressure applied seems to me to be more than most would think it is.

Its not about being small. Ants can carry 100* their body wait (have you seen one of those suckas carry a leaf? I think its 100 times). Anyways, JAGnumber1 hit the nail on the head. However, in order to keep himself from spinning out of control, he would have to put the gun directly at the center of his body mass. Ok back to the ants. As well for the MC, what he could do is that since there is no gravity, it is unlikely he is just gonna hit the ship and its shields, cause then he'd be rebounded into space. Somebody mentioned something about the shields dropping after a turret fires. NOW THERES THE STUFF! WHat I could see MC doin is timing it just right so he slips through the hole created as the turret fires, and then slides along the shield (on the inside, so he'd be goin round in circles) until the friction from the shields stopped him. The he could board the ship and start kicking Covie ass all over again!

I am suprised that none of you people here ever got the idea that he might be trying to land on the Covenant ship below him. If you look at the last part of the video, you can see the Cheif moving towards the large Covenant ship circling above Earth. Maybe the Cheif and Cortana hoped that they could get aboard the Covenat ship, then get to the bridge and access the weapons terminal so they could fire at other Covenant ships to help slow the massive attack on Earth. By capturing a Covenant ship just imagine what they could do! And it would be a cool first level too.

You never know guys, he may have those thruster packs from the books inbuilt to his armour so he can slow his descent.
