Realism doesn't matter. This is Halo. If realism mattered, then all plasma weapons would kill in the first shot. What's best for gameplay/balance is best for the game. Bungie believes plasma weapons that would kill in one shot would be bad. Hopefully they will believe again that fall damage makes the game more fun, like they thought for Halo 1 and Halo 3: ODST.

As long as we turn it off in custom games.

Because Muslims surgically implant organic bombs in their testicles, which in turn will be injected into women during sex, which will grow into BABY BOMBS!

Most of them died actually. Most of the ones that survived though had quite severe injuries.

As long as fall damage does not appear in the campaign, then fine, go ahead and let it reappear in multiplayer.

Here’s what Luke had to say about the differences in treatment between the Spartans and Elites in Reach:

“Instead of piece-by-piece customization like the Spartans, Elite customization is a full model swap with models selected from the various Elite classes appearing throughout the Campaign. There are all kinds of reasons for this, not the least of which is our continued emphasis on the Spartan as your identity in Reach.”

Im kinda getting tired of peoples saying

"OH BUT THEY ARE SPARTANS THEY CAN EAT LAVA, BLAH BALBALHBAL SPARTANS SPARTANS SPARTANS"
And Im tired of people complaining about realism in a game that is not meant to be realistic.

If there is fall damage, that means no man cannons. And those are very useful, both to map designers and for gameplay.

I think its good for gameplay. The impact from the fall should break the shields but maybe it wouldn't be able to damage health. It makes you think before you jump.

MAncannons would obviously make the player land softly so they would be unaffected.

I don't know about that. You could be protected from fall damage if you launched out of a man-cannon, assuming it's in the game.

They could, but it would still affect how maps were designed and I like doing death from above attacks.

I would prefer it if they kept fall damage off.

Or, even better, make it a custom game option.

That's a fantastic idea.

Not true. 4 died, 4 injured, the rest, fine. Read First Strike.

I hunt for the Prophet of Contentment, the San 'Shyumm that murdered my son, and stole his birthright, his Energy Sword. They call our species Heretics. They claim to all that our tongues sting, our words a vile poison that feeds on the unworthy. I have seen the true face of Heresy. The head of a gallant warrior lay on the ground. His neck scorched and blistered, scarred by his own blade. I shall retrieve the weapon, and drive it through that bastard's heart! Punishment for his sins is nigh.

Fall Damage would make THE MOST sense in campaign.

only 6 were fine, the others you called "Fine" had minor injuries (or rather minor to a spartan) some had broken bones, some had fractures or internal bleeding, but Spartans can work under those conditions.

Wasting time? We are discussing possible features the game may include.

So you join the Bungie forum 5 days ago, start flaming, and don't expect to get blacklisted? The forum was MADE for us to have fun talking about what kinds of things we are hoping for, like hoping for certain presents before christmas.
