I am the best thing that ever happened to you

In Halo 2 and 3 the Master Chief has the ability to punch a tank to death with his bare hands. The first time I did this in the game I just thought ok he's a cybernetic super soldier enhanced by chemicals and -blam!- that could work. But then I played ODST and was able to do the same thing. The Helljumpers aren't cyborgs they aren't super soldiers they're just normal -blam!- guys they don't even have magical suits of armor or anything. How is this possible unless Covenant vehicles are made of crackers stuck together by peanut butter ?

This man, this man right here put it so eloquently that I actually cancelled my own 2000+ word long post.

The person who said participating is important, not winning, obviously never won anything.

It's called gameplay factors, you silly head.

Ad Infinitum

Notice how character abilities are reduced in books. The only reason MC can punch a tank to death with his fist is for gameplay value. You would never see him punch a tank to death in a novel. He would just use rockets or a splazer.

No you couldn't, all you could do was plant a grenade in between the wedges of the wraith, you couldn't bash the shield plating on the wraith to death like you could as a spartan.

Get your facts straight before you call anything out.

Wasn't it a hybrid of the two, Tiny? I thought you had to bash the Wraith for a little bit before you could plant your grenade? In any case, and ODST can't beat a Wraith to death, and what they are beating on would be the much less reinforced sections of the vehicle, such as the driver's hatch or weak areas around the rear vent/engine thingy.

Now that I think about it I have confused the two.

In the campaign you are capable of bashing the wraith to break the hatch, but in firefight all you can do is plant a grenade.

I was wrong, not sure if you can bash it do death, but you can definitely hit it.

Get your facts straight before you call anything out.

Oh sweet irony.

@accordingto343

Your one stop shop for all of 343's fabulous errors and ridiculous notions in the Halo lore.

I don't think anyone but you honestly cares.

The H3 onwards model of Wraith seemed to be made of cardboard and cheese, and powered by an electric toothbrush motor. I really miss the power of the H2 Wraith, boosting the Wraith through fully loaded Warthogs was one of the most satisfying Halo moments ever.

Budget cuts. Maybe if they didn't give fuel rod cannons to so many useless grunts they could afford it...
