	In Response To: Re: Jumping in Halo (Chris Bisoski) Obviously you guys have not read Mr. Banks novels. In battle Culture people and others too use special suits which allows them to carry a shit-load of heavy things. The good people at Bungie are very much inspired by this over-cool writer. : Weapons: AR=30 pounds : Pistols=10 pounds x2 : TOZ-T=25 pounds : SPNKR=40 pounds : WSTE-M=20 pounds x2 : Fusion pistol=15 pounds : SMG=15 pounds : Alien weapon=30 pounds : Ammo: AR=.5 pounds per clip, 15 clips, 5 pounds per grenade clip, 8 grenade : clips, plus one of each in the weapon. : Pistols=.5 pounds per clip, 50 clips, plus one of each in both pistols (+2). : TOZ-T:7 pounds per canister, 3 canisters, plus one in the weapon. : SPNKR=15 pounds per rack, 4 racks, plus one in the weapon. : WSTE-M:.2 pounds per clip, 80 clips, plus one in each weapon (+2). : Fusion pistol=5 pounds per battery, 25 batteries, plus one in the weapon. : SMG=7 pounds per clip, 6 clips, plus one in the weapon. : Items: Four Biobus Enhancements (5 pounds each). : One uplink chip, one repair chip (5 pounds each-they were big chips). : When we add all of this, we get an insane weight of : 215+8+45+26+28+75+16.4+130+49+20+10 pounds. What is that number? : 622.4 pounds!!!! : Now. Our friend the Marine is, of course, a cyborg. One would assume he would : be able to lift this much weight. : But run across an entire asteroid, a large planet, several space stations, : several starships, and more of the same planet while carrying all of this? : Granted, alloys will no doubt become much lighter in the next 700 years, but : it's still a prodigious amount of weight to be running around fighting : with...even if the Marine is strong enough to carry all of this, inertia : (if he carried, let's say, only 300 pounds of stuff) would carry him much : farther than it does. : Although...this does explain why he can't jump.
