I hated that MC wasn't able to swim in the lake of Delta Halo. If Halo 3 is going to have deep waters shouldn't MC learn how to swim. Maybe add a water jet gear on MC's armor so swimming would be easier for him. The choice from the poll Yes and then some. means that yes MC should swim and he should be able to do other things while he is swimming. I chose and say that MC should be able to swim and melee enemies underwater at the same time. If bungie is going to make a level with some deep waters, they should get rid of the fall death of that particular level.

That's my opinion and I know that you guys will have opinions too. What do you think?

He's wearing half a ton of armor. He sinks.

If you mean like in battlefield 2, where you swim while holding your gun, then yes.

You'd need floaties the size of a small boaty to keep him afloat.

I know that he weighs a half a ton, that's why I mentioned that he should have an upgrade where he can glide underwater like a submarine (well not really but somewhat like that). One of those small underwater jet propellers.

that would be kind of cool and add a whole new dimesion to multiplayer. if your about to die go hide in water and wait for your opponent then fight him underwater.

"I'm hungry..."

Water shouldn't kill him, I do no this. Why you aks?

If his suit allows him to breath in a vacuum, then his suit would allow him atleast a limited time underwater.

And let us not forget that we could go swimming in Silent Cartographer...

Actually, certain guns can fire underwater. The effective range is quite minimal (a few feet) but it's possible. How do I know? Myth Busters.

And no, the Chief weighs over half of a ton with the armor on. Even he's not strong enough to counter that.

someone-- "Chief, what do you see down there?"
Chief-- "Hold on, let me get out my periscope."

Yeah, you can fire a gun under water.

However, I still am not a fan of the Chief swimming, I find it quite pointless and rather ridiculous.

Edit:

By firing a gun under water, I mean a gun, not a plasma gun, since those don't actually exist there's nothing I can say about its capabilities in a submerged environment.

I fell asleep through that episode. Mythbusters has been getting boring lately.

But how about plasma, huh? What's your excuse for that one?!

I know it's a stupid idea. I'm trying to help prove that it's a stupid idea.

Dying because you fell in water is dumb.

  • 07.12.2006 10:34 AM PDT

its A GAMEPLAY MECHANIC DUMBASS!!!!


you would get lost, if you could run around under water, over mountains out of the game, without some linear guidance.


and personally, i think MC should stay at the shallow end of the pool next time he goes on vacation.

I've seen pictures of boats in Halo 3. It is a piece of work though (MC with a bunch of ODSTs) If our beloved MC falls of that boat, wouldn't it be cool if he can swim back to the boat instead of dying because he touched the water???
