i think fall damage is complete bull-blam!- lol it totally screws up all the gameplay.
if bungie incoperated a stun effect it wouldnt really screw anything up
IMO Stun would mess it up more than shield-only fall damage. Do you like boarding stun?

I'll be the first one to answer that; Hello nah, I hate boarding stun.

I think fall damage should be brought back, just so we don't have crazy stuff like people jumping out of banshees to get to the top of a tower, or people jumping down like 4 stories without suffering.

This could go either way but - Fall damage could potentially foil HLG's plans in Reach.

Most of this seems like it could go any way,
No fall damage could lead to an easy get-away on bungie's part.(Also causing indifference in forums, preventing topics like"I WaNTz fAll DaMAge")
Having Shield only fall damage would be the best way to go, but it would feel like a small reaction to anything.(Thinking of this I remember Halo PC with super jump mod, Mai RoLF Jump!)
Stun seems like the best option in my eyes. But I wouldn't like it being the same as a Jack-stun, I would like it to slow you down and cause shield damage( Fall speed,distance, and other factors; contributing to it's intensity ) but not slow your aiming.

Speed stun+Sheild damage= okay

Maybe. In CE there were a lot of moments were all you could say was "im screwed" because a shotty is closing in and you'd have to jump from a high place to doge it. This was more realistic, and more fun for the person with the shotgun, but could be severely annoying to the guy who keeps ending up having to chose whether to fall and die or get tea bagged.


I would like some form of fall damage, but not as much as CE. Also, a stun from falling would be nice, if the man-cannon issue could be sorted out.

I'd personally like to see Halo CE fall damage return. It made people think before they acted, you couldn't just jump off the top level of Prisoner when you were battling someone just to escape.

Of course, having it as an option in Custom Games would be a good idea.

I say that the best option would be to bring back fall damage, but either 2x or 3x less damaging than originally, and should only damage shields (like in H1, you could avoid fall damage completely by landing on a slope or crouching at the right time).


I agree 100% That seems to be the perfect fix IMO. Implementing both the ability to crouch at a certain time (maybe have a 'landing' animation that would occur in place of a crouch when pushing the crouch button at the right time, thus decreasing fall damage, and making it look fluent... and sweet.)

*Edit* Also, with this animation it could also act as stun time. The bigger the fall, the more of a crouched animation (you kneel further down), thus a longer time before you can move again. It just keeps getting better xD

Fall Damage I think could work well, but instead of doing as much damage as it did in Halo CE, do less damage and a sort of 'Concussive Effect', where the screen blurs and the sensitivity drastically increases for a few seconds.
