Ok, in the recent picture where the MC is facing off vs the two jackals, he's very short. Look at the height of the jackals, and then compare em to the MC. The jackals are even doing their standard crouch defense, and yet the Chief only appears to be a foot or two taller than him, and the Chief is by no means crouching himself. My point is, i was under the impression that the MC, or Spartans in general are supposed to be 7 or 8 foot behemoths.

Here's a link to the picture, for your viewing convenience.

No ,it looks just fine. First of all, the Chief is at a run, leaning into his gun, so he is not at his full height. Secondly, the first Jackal looks large because it is in the foreground. Thirdly, the MC is about 7' tall, and Jackals are 5' 8". So, The MC is only 1' 4" taller tha the Jackals, which looks about right in the new screenshot.

You're probably thinking he looks that way because you're using the Jackals as a scale; the thing is, Jackals are pretty big on their own ya know

It's the Jackal on the right he's right in front of the picture, making him seem taller.

Oh, Jackals are 6 feet? Guess it makes sense then.

  • 04.18.2004 3:42 PM PDT

If Jackles are 6 feet, then that makes elites like 8 feet.

They are, same with the MC (or close to that)

I always think of the Master Chief as Shaq in a MJLNOIR suit :)

LoL. Imagine his armor able to do the samus thing. :-D LoL.

MC: I'm surrounded! *pushes button on his wrist, and the armor pops and cracks, then jumps into the air and forms a little ball*

Grunt: He's everywhere!

MC: *is rolling around the room in a little ball*

if you've taken like a photography class or a filming class or else you are really smart you can tell that the only reason why he seems short is because of the angle of the shot. like if i look at someone and then look down at a person like 200 feet away and compare the two. the one closest to me is gonna look taller no matter if the person 200 feet away is 7 feet tall.

anyways it doesn't matter. bungie knows what they're doing
