I think I actually calculated this at one point, it was about 50 kilojoules iirc, and was consistent with a statement from a freshly augmented John where he felt confident about surviving a 30 meter fall which was 41 kilojoules.IIRC this was one of their other noteworthy unarmoured feats.
During their initial exercises in Reach's titanium mines, after recovering from the augmentations, the Spartans completely overpowered trainers wearing Mark I exoskeletons, outrunning their automated targeting systems and dismantling the heavy combat suits with their bare hands. A kick by John-117 flung one of the exoskeleton-clad men eight meters.
“ John landed, turned, braced, and kicked one guard. The man landed in a heap... 8 meters away „

I think that's enough about the Carbine. DDM is correct, 700 m/s is the only figure we have for the Type 51's muzzle velocity. The Beam Rifle is the only known Halo small arms with a muzzle velocity over supersonic+
I too was unsure how to quantify that comic, it looked like it could easily be aim dodging, something Spartans are quite good at. The former two links, specifically the second one seem to be legit in my opinion. The second scan particularly writes "Rion raised her M6 and fired at his unprotected head. Incredibly quick, he was already ducking to the right". I believe this shows dodging a 430m/s round at basically point blank.
Indeed it has been a long time. Though after this thread is done, I expect to be semi-active at best. Powerscaling loses a bit of its luster when you get a bit older imo.
Does the term final phase mean "the complete armor without a occupant" or "the complete armor with its occupant"?
That is a neat find, and would still be consistent, and is more accurate. The suit as shown in the scan clearly shows bulk comparable to the Mjolnir armor as well. Unless the original calculation I made so long ago has some clear flaws and needs to be reworked, I don't see any reason why this couldn't be used.
I think I actually calculated the first feat which was about 82 m/s, subsonic. All the rest remains consistent with unarmored Spartans being subsonic.
That figure for movement speed is placed incorrectly as it only occured in armor, specifically the MkV. Unarmored, Spartans can run about 30 ish mph. Still superhuman though.
That is without its occupant IIRC so no normal ass human won’t been able to worn the Mark 4 (IV) armor without ******* prior augmentations as they will die as that was part of the respect thread for Master Chief on Reddit
Eh I’m fine with dropping It, though I think the Halo 3 guide isn’t a great source
I’m pretty Sure there’s a good Fuel Rod feat in the Terminals for H2A but I’ll see if I can find it. Worst case, we could simply Upscale the shields from the armour feats?
The "Ran half a Kilometer in 17 seconds"? I just copied what was on the Profile currently for Chief's "Without MJOLNIR" Speed Stat.
We are aware though?
Let us know what you find, and what is this blog you speak of? If it's legit, and in the lower end of Small Building Level it may not be an outlier. But if it's in the triple megajoules, it's guaranteed to be an outlier.
In that case, shouldn’t we been using the weight of the Spartan 2s and other Spartans that has used that version of the MJOLNIR armor?
Why though? Spartans are heavier than normal humans, John at age 14 was already 130 kg in weight.
Fair enough as I thought we doing things for the feats related to Mark 4 (IV) and stuff
This is the calc in question
It's certainly something, I just like that it wasn't a one-off since Chief shows he can outright tank it later with no real issues.
I think there may be a way to save this feat without it being a blatant outlier. DDM's original calc for the Kig-Yar vaporization is flawed. In reality, the calc is probably somewhere from 30-60 megajoules if revised.
Man, I miss Halo not shying away from gratuitous violence like losing limbs and shit.
We do still have the extended media beyond the games at least. Maybe it's for the best that 343I didn't reintroduce The Flood. 343I could **** up a basic C++ pong game honestly.
Doesn't both Noble Six and Master Chief fall from orbit? That's calc worthy.
Halo War 2 is developed by a different studio if memories serve me right
Multiplayer Shenanigans and game mechanics don’t mixed well with lore.
343I did not have full control of Halo Wars 2's development.
Game mechanics, or a weird extreme outlier. Glassing beams have been calced, and even with the inverse square law it would potentially be in the 8-B range.
No, this is something he does in the campaign directly and even calls it out in dialogue.
Could you provide a video of this happening?
Tbf, the dude is in the Brute equivalent of that mech suit from Halo Legends.
I misremembered slightly, he uses an energy shield to tank being at the epicenter of it but that's still pretty impressive.
