I seriously don't get it! I mean the SPARTAN program probably costed like billions of dollars in research and developement on armor and weapons. The Master Chief can fight in space with stored oxygen, but if he ever fell in the water he would drown. According to the books, the armor weight about half a tons, so they are toast if they ever tried to go for a swim. It is proven in Halo 2 because he fell in the water in the cutscene after he killed the Regret. Chief was rescued by Gravemind or else he would of ran out of stored oxygen and drowned. Maybe Dr.Halsely got too carried away with the shields and shiny armor that she forgot to install a floatation device for the spartans' armor.
For example,
Chief was riding a pelican to battle on Earth. There was turbulance and he got shaken out of the pelican and fell into the ocean. He died and the humans lost their hero,other spartans lost their leader and everything blew up by covenant !!!
How stupid does that sound!!
Edit,
I think the explosion did know MC out, but Cortanna could've awaken him because remember in the first few city levels of Halo 2. Pelican crash, chief knocked confused, Cortanna says "Chief!! Chief !! Wake Up!!" How the heck do you swim with that much armor on. Ever hear that fat people float well in the water because fat is less dense than water. People like Chief and arnold swarzzenneger can't swim well because there is no body fat. And plus Chief is in the armor which is made out of metal that i'm sure is denser than water!!
Bungie has never metioned anything that made spartans mjornir armor float before!!!EVER!!!
