You know what? I think Master Cheif should fly. It would be a lot more fun, and who cares about the lore? I'm sure nobody would mind.
You see, the ODST being able to lift turrets isn't a "nitpicky detail". It's actually quite a large flaw. These forums are supposed to help create a better game and so far, people seem quite perturbed by this.
Another large flaw in the lore is the entire concept of stamina. Since, as you say, ODST's are close to normal humans, taking a bullet to the chest would obviously cause more than wear them out, and this injury would not regenerate like it does in the game. You see? That is an even bigger flaw in the lore, but in order to make fun gameplay, it's necessary. Your example of giving the Chief flight capabilities is completely obnoxious and while I acknowledge the fact that you're simply using it to prove your point, it's such a large stretch from the concepts of the game that it doesn't help your argument at all. An ODST being able to carry a turret is much less out of the question, and I fail to see how not allowing this would make it a "better game."
Finally an intelligent response!!
/On topic.
Yes, I see your point regarding stamina, however, all games have had that. I don't hold it against them that they're just doing the norm. However, just because they can take a bullet, doesn't mean they should have super strength. It would be like in COD 4, if you could rip off the MG's. It would be unrealistic and people would be questioning why. I don't think giving the Chief flight capabilites is any more ridiculous than giving ODST's super strength. I realize that they're not really coming out and saying they are, but in essence, it's exactly what they're doing. And I agree, allowing this to stay wouldn't break the game, but it would make it a lot more unenjoyable for myself and, apparently, many others. I wouldn't not buy it just because of it, but everytime I did it, I would feel a little wierd.
