If you and I have spoken previously and I treated you with respect, it was not respect that was given because we agreed. I respect people based on their ability to express themselves in a calm and civil fashion. If your respect for me has changed because I have an opinion that you don't share, then you didn't respect me. You just agreed with me.

In the halo games MC always dies if you fall too far. But in the book First Strike 27 spartans jump from at least 5 kilometers and only 4 die. So i would think MC could survive a little jump off of a bridge down into a canyon. Just something i was thinking about.

Gathered from the H2 beta you no longer take damage from falls of any height.

Of course, it was a beta, and this is an off-topic board. This topic is clearly on.

First of all, like Surge said, it was the beta version. It was simplified to the point where any average Joe could go and play Zanzibat for fifteen minutes.

And secondly, it's a game. Thins happen in games that do not go along with the books sometimes. For instance,

OMFG!!111 MC CAN FLIPP DE TANKS WITHAUT MOVING HIBS ARMS!!1111 HE BE TELEKENETIC!1111

You see my point?

It was a cold day near the southern base in Blood Gulch. Cortana and I were relaxing over a game of Go Fish, WHEN OUT OF NO WHERE 700 BANSHEES CAME FLYING IN!!! I GRABED MY SPARTAN LASER AND LET HELL REIGN DOWN UPON THEM. I HOPPED IN THE NEAREST WARTHOG AND TOLD CORTANA TO GET IN.

I hope he doesnt die from any height. That would make for some cool stunts, to be sure.

yeah i see your point. But I'm not trying to be all stupid by saying the game needs to be perfectly matched to the book. Its just something I thought about as i was playing assualt on the control room so i thought i would post it. And the first part of your post has nothing really to do with this thread.
