1) The suit weighing 1/2 ton inproves his strength, plus there's the already neuro and strength enhancements that he has like I already said, he could easily lift cars if he wanted to, jumping wouldn't be a problem. Because a suit weighing 1/2 ton = hard to jump when you don't have the force to make it move. Assuming the average human weighs 150 lbs and can has the strength to life 50lbs easily, the average car weighs in exess of 1 ton. Do the math, if Master Chief can lift a car, then he must have the strengh to be able to jump wearing that suit. In case you still don't get it, 2,000/50=40 150*40=6,000, if we assume the ratio of his arm strength to average human's arm strength is the same as his jumping ability to the average humans, then he could jump with 6,000lbs. I think we can safely assume that Master Chief does not weigh 5,000lbs and as such could easily jump the height which he does jump.

2) Stating that it isn't the greatest game ever is an opinion. It is a fact however that stating that it isn't the greatest game ever is an opinion. There is never a fact for something being the best. Everything is based on opinion. The only way you could say something is the best if there is only one realistic way of looking at it, for example, getting an A is better than failing. Unless of course you're trying to fail, then it wouldn't be.

3) Microsoft doesn't have to make money for it to have been saved by selling Xbox; even if it was "saved" it'd still be losing money since it loses money on every single XBox. Its business strategy isn't to make money on each XBox, it's to carve out a chunk of the market for future Microsoft counsels and also to make money on game licenses.

4) And what does Gundam resemble? There are way more games that just Halo where one guy must go and save the whole world. And also, if you don't know Halo doesn't exactly take place in the 21st century. Maybe you should wake up to that fact. I don't think Gundams are exactly realistic either, nor are many other things in games/television. It isn't blatanly ripped from anywhere. Saying that it was blatantly ripped from Gundam because you walk around in a suit and try to save the world is completely asinine. What next? Are you going to tell us that the Matrix was blatantly ripped from works of the ancients or anime because they borrowed ideas from them? What is your goal in Goldeneye? Oh yea, it's to kill the other people... REAL imaginative there. The first Halo does NOT have balanced weapons. Needler for instance is a lot less powerful than say the shot gun. Plus as a shotgun should be, it is less affective at longer range. Snipers are good for long range and are extremely deadly. How is that balanced at all? In Halo 2 they have "rebalanced" the weapons, that doesn't mean that some are preferred over others. Just because you might have the best weapon in the game doesn't mean that you will win. Having "balanced" weapons doesn't mean that you don't have a goal.

1) Lifting a car and jumping require two different muscles and thus two different kinds of strength. Your comparison is invalid. Now whether or not he can lift a car I question. But still, you pointed out the floating as well, and despite his strength the height is still a bit unrealistic. That and you didnt dispute my gun comments.

2) If there is never a fact of something being the best, THEN ITS A FACT THAT ITS NOT THE BEST. Wow, turn around logic.

3) Which they dont. Microsoft loses billions in their gaming department. This isnt just due to the loss of on every piece of hardware, that would have to include lacking game sales. And even if it didnt, that is still a lot of money lost on consoles, far more than any other console developer, I guarantee.

4) Gundam resembles nearly every anime ever created. But Im not saying it is a mere resemblance, Im saying its very much alike. With the floating colony and it destroying the world and such. And sure, things rarely come that are original, but there are varying levels of originality, and Halo lacks in such.

5) When I spoke of goals in goldeneye I was speaking of the progressing gun power. You take my words out of context. A needler is immensely powerful given a few moments, and the fact that the needles home in on its victims. A sniper is always good for long range, but so is a needler, and a pistol, and a plasma rifle, and most anything you could think of in that game. I could take out an Elite from long range with an Assault Rifle fairly well.

6) At least Goldeneye had a resonably good plot. I mean, it was based on the greatest spy movie franchise ever.

7) The Matrix was a blatant rip off of Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs.
