Someone just created a thread like this, you should look first before creating threads. MC is 6'7'', the tallest spartan in his squad was 7'.

If you look at a suit of armor in a museum that was actually used for combat, you'd find it to be VERY small, probably no more than 5 feet. Around 1000ad the average height of a human male was near 5 feet tall. By 1970 it was up to 5'9, just 30 years later it's up to 5'11. Each generation is better nutritioned than the next, plus their is growth hormone in our food. In 500 years it's not inconcievable that the average height of a human could be in the 6'5 range. I believe the spartans were slightly taller after their bone graphs, which would explain the extra couple inches.

As small as the grunts look, they're 5' tall. Jackals are 5'8''.

Just look in your Halo CE manuals:
Grunts: 5'
Jackals: 5'8''
Elites: 8'6''
Hunters: 8' when hunched over. 12' standing up straight

I just noticed something else, in the books it states that MC is 6'7'' yet the Halo 2 manual states that he's 7'. Since Bungie has stated that if there is ever a conflict between the books and the game, the game is the official story. That said, it looks like MC is 7' tall after all. It also states right in the manual that he's half a ton.

Dude, Hunters are huge! And if the Elites are 8' 6'' than Spartans should be around 7-8 ft.

The books stated that MC was 6'7'', but the H2 manual says he's 7'. Since the game material always trumps the book material when there's a conflict...MC is 7 feet tall; he also ways 1000 pounds with his armor on.

Master cheif out of armor is 6'7" in armor he's 7 feet.

The difference comes from bottom foot armor and top head armor.

Just a guess.

  • 05.14.2006 10:46 PM PDT

One shot: one kill, zero seconds to live

yeah, about 6'7" to 7'0". the H2 manual might say 7 feet because the new armor may make him a little taller

That just might be it, because I distinctly remember the books saying he's 6'7''. The manual's description of him is his stats with armor on, so yeah you are probably right.
