Does anybody know the scale halo uses to real life scale (if its possible to find, or estimate).
So like if it was 1:1, halo:realworld.
If this is out of the question then sorry for asking, but it would be nice to know
Sorry new account i cant change my alias and ive changed 3 times since i joined =[

There is no conversion, there just world units.

The masterchief is supposedly around 7 feet tall.
So if you can figure the world units for the chief you can figure the rest out.

I would put a rough guess at 1.5 metres based on that Bungie stated that the tiles on Foundry were one WU squared. I haven't been on in a few weeks, so I may be remembering incorrectly.

1 world unit= 1 foot
Spartans were said to measure 7 feet irl they measure 7 world units in halo

That is absolutely wrong.
Make 2 objects, and change the coordinates of one to make it 1 unit higher on the z axis. It will not be a seventh of your spartans hight difference.
Also, I think bungie has more knowledge than you about thier units...

Ah, so 1 unit = 2.54 meters. Thanks kronos!
(3ds Max unit = 1 inch, 100 inches = 8.333333 feet, or 2.54 meters.)

Yes, 1 WU is about 2.5 meters.
