You won't be shooting marines

lol....


But in all seriousness, I'm pretty sure the lack of collision on a backpack wouldn't be a big deal. if you think about it, getting shot in the backpack wouldn't actually hurt you anyways, provided that the bullet didnt go through.

everything you listed was a jump forward in technology, backpack communicators would be a step backwards, if anything

Halo 2 had them so what's the problem? You think 400 years into the future a holy war will be raged upon our species?

The lack of collision on the backpack doesn't change what happens to the projectile when going through it. It'll still hit the marines but it won't look like it impacted upon the backpack.

Only if you get shot from that angle which is what I meant when I mentioned the possibility of it going through the backpack. If it comes from the side, where the round will never hit you with its plotted course of trajectory but will hit the backpack, it will pass through without harming you, just as it would in real life.

unless of course, if it was a rocket launcher or plasma cannon.

I'm not saying I thought they were okay in Halo 2. He asked if backpack coms were okay and I just think its a little out of place. And about "holy wars" in 400 years, If you look at history, they've been going on forever, I seriously doubt 400 years will make this world, let alone the universe if there are other sentient beings a religion-free place.

So Masterz, what's your opinion on the suicide of the suicidal marine? My post got buried, lol.

It was one of the first things I started Adding when we got the source scripts. I lost interest after realizing everyone was going to kill the marine.

[English Mobster]

I wouldn't kill him...

[Pyong Kawaguchi]

Make him not fire at you, but still commit suicide?

[Cagerrin]

Set it up so that he only has the pistol once you hit the trigger volume? I think people tend to kill him for the ammo, so that might work?

[Heathen]

Backpacks are more interesting. Halo has never been about realistically portraying the tech of the future; those 400 years are just so it's easier to suspend your disbelief about space-faring warships, energy shields, artificial gravity, super soldiers and the like.

well put.
