I say no, but I think that perhaps your SHIELD should drop.. in Halo 1 you would die. Forget dying, just drop the shield a bit depending on the length of the drop..(1/4, 1/2, 3/4, no shield)

I dont think that would make sense for your armor to downgrade, since in halo 2 there is no fall damage halo 3 should be the same

Yeah but that was only becuase they could not replicate the physics of Halo 1 and I don't know about you but being able to drop 1000ft and survive (even with armor) without a scratch seems to me to be a bit stupid.

I think is was quite nice wothout fall damage because there's more fun and crazy stuff you could do. It may not be realistic, but it's fun, and that's what we play games for; just like having indestructable vehicles in Halo 1 meant you could do some cool stuff with them.

Someone mentioned your shieldgoing down, but not actually dying when you fall. That may be a good idea.

In what part of Halo 2 do you fall 1000 feet?

Do you mean the vehicle Scarab or the gun Scarab? The gun was an Egg so that doesnt count. But if you fell from a Scarab in Halo 2 you did die.

In single player I imagine a certain degree of fall damage would add to realism (nothing like the ridonculous Halo CE fall damage though!), but I hope they follow Halo 2 in toasting the damage for MP... it allows you to use 3 dimensions of tactics (falling can be a strategy), instead of (in Halo CE) *Ha ha! I dropped behind you, I have the jump on you!* -- *enemy turns around and kills person with no shields and low health*

just a little fall damage. oh and the person who said you could fall a thousand feet without a scratch well thats not true in some respects. because in the books the spartans have to do a hot drop out of a burning pelican, some survived others died, some were criticly injured others had barely a scratch. it all depends on where you land

No, only because in multiplayer most of the maneuvers I did meant from dropping from certain places for a surprise attack. Putting fall damage would totally change everything and how I play.

The main thing in your post was how " YOU " play. What about me and how "I" played halo 1 ?????? yes via online.

You'd be surprised on how much more careful and strategic you are. I' m assuming many of you didnt play halo 1 ?

As it was a great element in multiplayer.

Instead of just running in a room w/ 2 guns spraying all over the place you had to think and plan what you were gonna do, because there was consequences as to what you did....

Yes. It makes the game more realistic. Well, realistic for sci fi anyway. I thought it was really stupid how jumping from a 100 yard tall ledge wouldn't even phase you. It also plays a big role in Multiplayer as jumping down on your enemies from a high hight wouldn't hurt you at all. Or was it all "Balance issues?"

If i had to guess it was probably due to flying the Banshee as well as the Engine itself.

Yes to fall damage for one reason:

It requires more strategy. period.
