Should Halo 3 include fall damage to be more realistic?

no. just like in H2: if you don't fall from high enough, nothing happens, if you do fall from high enough, you die. but no fall damage

I loved the fall damage in Halo and was sad to see it go in Halo 2. It always added a bit of strategy and you could reduce or eliminate the damage if you knew how to time the crouch landing.

i Definately think they should put fall damage onto it because it was cool to play a map like Sidewinder (R.I.P) on a second floor of your base nd throw a nade nd watch them dodge it by jumpin off the edge only to meet mr ground. Good times

ya, it should. well actully, i dunno, cause like in h2, there were so many opurtunitys in just noraml game play that would have killed you from the fall damage in h2, so i dunno, it may just be that it would kill you to often to really have.

good topic. completely forgot about the aspect of fall damage

to be honest, sometimes it wud piss me off in halo 1 to die at the hands(?) of a fall from hang em high, but nothing wud give me more pleasure than jumpin off a building and jackin a banshee and watchin my opponent fall to his demise.

so should they do it?.........im gonna hafta say no. just keep it as it is.

I think that they should bring back fall damage to be more "realistic"
because people complain all the time about how the pistol is unrealistic.
So, if people want to be more realistic then bungie should bring back fall damage and don't complain about the leetness of the pistol.

Yes, it should be brought back. It adds realism and strategy to the game.

The melee lunge would also have to be removed to allow it (sword lunging with fall damage on could kill you); win win. Extra strategy and tactics, and no melee attacks that cause you to lunge through people.

  • 06.05.2006 9:29 AM PDT

It should be brought back to some degree. A high fall should hurt your shields and stun you for a moment, and it could be minimised by crouching at just the right moment. Adds a bit of movement strategy back into the game.

I heard they just wrote fall damage out because of the sword lunge.

Bungie weekly update sometime in the future.

We have been watching live and the # of sucides has increased from say 10% up to over 100% people fall damage is back.

there are ups and downs to fall damage. in halo CE, maps like hang em high were amazing due to the fact that everyone was afraid to fall and die. in halo 2, people did not have to worry bout it as much and it became more fun to be focussed on just getting the kill. i could go either way on this one.

I think fall damage should be lessened in halo 3. It seemed like way too much happened in Halo: CE, but not having any at all in halo 2? It was kind of wierd.

I LOVE fall damage... but loathe the kill timer. What I would love to see is fall damage, but no kill timer, so you can jump off something really high, and experience the thrill of virtual base jumping but die as soon as you hit the ground.

And definitely no kill zones!!! eugh!

Yeah death barriers weren't fun.
There are ways to get through some of them though...

I say YES to fall damage. There have been so many times in Halo:CE that I would find the best way to slide and jump down levels with little or no damage. Fun times.
