Subject: End Game: Tip of the Spear

Ya'll know the part when you, Noble Six, climb or fly your way to the top of the spire and fight the awesome fuel rod grunts and elite ultras to deactivate the spire's shielding? And that while you're doing this, Jorge is at the bottom walking around? Well, when Carter comes to pick you up in the falcon, how is Jorge already seated in the falcon? I mean, I guess the falcon could've went down to grab Jorge and then get you, but it looks like the cut-scene happens right after the shielding is deactivated. I don't see there being ample time for this.

I think the point is that realistically, you're busy inside the spire, so have zero idea what Jorge and Carter are up to (because you can't see them).

Not much point in programming in a Falcon coming down to collect Jorge when you aren't likely to see it happening.

It's called "suspension of belief".

SC = Supreme Commander/Supreme Canadian.

De Facto leader of the military of the APE (Allied Planets Empire).

Coup = Admiral Asskicker, ZPM hive ship

Maybe the Falcon pilot shut down his chopper before it entered the field, then turned it back on right afterwards? The EMP wouldn't have damaged the Falcon, and it could have quickly picked up Jorge and flew up to the top of the Spire.

This isn't the worst part of this cutscene. I direct you to the sub-KT MAC blast, and the fact that the Frigate had to get that damn close to the spire to shoot it.

I see where you're coming from, but let's all think of what would have happened if they hadn't picked up Jorge, feasible or not. There would be no one to grab on to and your ass would have missed the Falcon and plummeted to your doom. So possible or not, let's all just be thankful that the Falcon did miraculously pick him up. That lack of logic may have saved your life. lol

I wouldn't say to his doom. MJOLNIR Mark V can already survive terminal velocity impacts with the user still in fighting condition(For extreme combat like Fred and Kelly were in), so a fall from that height would not be a major problem. Then that -blam!- MAC strike basically only caused the tower to fall apart/fall over, so I would assume if NOBLE 6 managed to move into the surrounding rocks, or even just a little bit from the spire, he would have survived anyways to be picked up by Carter.

Its called a plot hole,
