Subject: Questions about Possible Flaws for Johnson in Firefight?

" I will seek vengeance upon those who have betrayed my family, and uncover a conspiracy bigger that I could have imagined. I am Ezio Auditore di Firenze. I am an Assassin"

I had a question that is similar to the Katana problem. Can someone please answer these questions?

1) When you use Johnson in Firefight, will his Cigar pose a problem? If there are hit boxes around the Cigar then when it is hit he could instantly die. Say you are Johnson playing in Firefight. You have taken some cover and you just slightly lean out to peek around a corner. You are perfect and your whole body is out of the way, except for the Cigar. A Jackel spots movement assuming it's at least Heroic and fires. Your Cigar is hit. Do you die? The Cigar is in the mouth which is the head. Isn't that a head shot?

2) Will physics on Johnson be different? Johnson doesn't wear a helment so if he were to get sniped will he die quicker then an ODST?

3) Will you be able to customize Johnson in firefight?

4) Is Johnson shorter then the ODSTs? That could pose a cover issue.

To get more people to pre-order the game. Also, to make more variation in Firefight. If everyone was Johnson then that would suck.

Heaven forbid that Bungie attempts to promote their game!

I doubt the cigar will count as a shot against Johnson.
All ODSTs have options to put off their helmets, it makes no difference.
Probably not, since you can only put on a helmet, which would defeat the purpose.
He will be made as tall as the other ODSTs.

It only cost's 5 dollars to preorder I think. And it's a way to advertise for the game.

Lolular!

Kyletacular-Killtacular-get it?

ODSTs would die from headshots, so no difference, Spartans do too.
I doubt they could hit a cigar, and it'll be like the Katana, it won't get stuck or anything like that.

Bungie should give up on stuff like this. Their community of clueless people kills it.

Johnson is exactly the same as the others in firefight. Why would it be any different?

God damn, use your common sense.

I would name my son Ezio Shepard Mactavish Vakarian Arbiter.

Cigar? No. . .
An Afro? Possibly.

just like halo 3, all permutations have the same hitboxes. Johnson is really just a skin/permutation, so his hitboxes are the same.

Johnson is just an ODST with a new skin. His cigar? Doesn't count - you can shoot through it (or maybe shoot it away? uncertain).
