In levels like Turf, Terminal and Headlong....the bus, car, and trucks aren't close to real size. Spartans are almost tall as a truck? and i know spartans are 7 ft at least BUT trucks are a lot taller that 7 feet.

Civilians all got crushed in the Crushing of 2015, making them half as tall. That is in the books. Read them.

I think it's an optical illusion. They look shorter than they really are. If they were ten feet tall, that would put them at about the right height for a rider-only bus with no space for luggage and a short roof, especially if the suspension has collapsed, as it seems to have in those models (have you ever seen a bus that low to the ground?)

Futuristic cars are alot smaller. The Warthog is as bigger than a semi-truck or bus. Can you imagine a military Hummer in reality bigger than trucks and buses on the roads?

The civilian cars are electric, they dont need a big engine at all.

Military vehicle use internal combustion because refueling in the field is easier that way

You know, the humans constantly evolve.the average height for a human should actually be 6'5-7'0, Lol.

500 years ago, a full grown male was a little over 5'0, right?

The reason the average height of a man is taller than way back when is becasue we haven't had any major wars recently. When there are wars, the soldiers are cramped in ships and always hunched shorter, therefore they stay like that. Since we aren't exactly living on boats right now, the average height is getting bigger. At least until we have another major war.

As for the trucks being 7 feet tall, you're sadly mistaken.

Wtf I could swear you just completely made that up. I dont believe that is true at all, if you have any proof please present it. First of all, no one was on any cramped boats long enough to stunt their growth, and the draft is at like what 18? 21? You will have basically reached your full height by 18.

Yes. Halo 2 view level is off a little i suppose. Like in Halo Ce were you seemed to be as tall as a Hunter.

Plus maybe in the future cars and even buses are smaller.
