If you still are having the drop-in spawn for the spartans with the damage as they land, their is an easy solution. When players fall on an embankment with Reach's physics, they sometimes slide off of it keeping their momentum. If you place a slope with the right angle underneath the landing area, then you can keep the fall, remove the damage, and have them thrown forward into the fight for faster action. It might take some experimentation to find the right angle or to make the slope fit with the aesthetics, though.
Wow that is very interesting to know. I'll have to try this out.
The ramp method works, but a slightly more elegant (And more expensive) is to place 2 one way shields. Have them both where you want the spartan to land. Place the first one, Orange side facing away from the ground, about 1/8 of a spartan's height from the ground. Place the second one about 7/8 SH directly above it, Orange side facing the ground. This way you can still effectively keep the explosion effect without fall damage.
