According to this tweet from Kynan Pearson, you will be able to forge on the surface of the water in Forge Island without dying. I’m still not exactly sure if it will be just like Reach, but at least it won’t be like Erosion or Ravine.
It’s just nice to have usable environments without prefab structures ruining your creativity or kill boxes in all the actually good looking areas of the map.
As it stands…
I don’t think it will change but who knows.
Then I don’t really understand why all three “islands” are raised so high. Do you think they set it up the same as the others, realized that the kill boundaries over the water we ANOTHER universally hated feature of this game and remove them? If so, can they remove those boundaries on Ravine and Erosion?

Has Oceanic suit of MJOLNIR made for underwater combat
Still drowns in a puddle of water.

You know how that goes dude. Survive fall from space, die from touching water.

Thats why on the level Reclaimer, when you battle the Covenant in the very beginning, and you drive in the river with the warthog, you die. Thats why you gotta get in the Mammoth…and yes I was stupid enough to try this.
That’s excellent! Hopefully they don’t change it before release. That would be a ridiculously amateur and foolish mistake. Very ill-advised thing to do, when so many people are clamouring for it.

You don’t want to see what happens when Mjolnir armor gets filled with water. Imagine having trench foot that covers your entire body.
Too much water inside the armor forces the Internal Waste Recycling System to overflow into the Air Filtration Unit leading to instant death from a lack of fresh oxygen.

Not sure water can get in in the first place. How do you breathe in space if the suit is so permeable that it allows water in?

You want to know the screwed up part?
The marines can drive through the rivers as if they were nothing.

The rubber air seals in the armor expand in zero gravity. Water provides too much hydrological pressure to maintain healthy levels of oxygen.

You can make it in a Wraith though. I’ve done it. You have to get the very first wraith you see and jack it. When you hit that water the wraith will take damage but you and it will survive. It’s also a good way to get the wraith kills for the achievement.

There’s actually a few places in the acid water where you won’t die/take damage. It’s at the rivers of death, you can bring vehicles past it (they blow up near the end unless you go there before bringing a vehicle). But it’s pointless because vehicles deload…

Aw, you beat me to it.
Yep, it’s true.

…or
you realize that if it’s airtight enough for space, it’s airtight enough for water…

You are a perfect example of people making up their own facts to make up more Halo to show off their supposed Halo knowledge. Or reading bull crap books made up to make more money for Microsoft by slapping the name Halo on them.
If spartans died from going in water, then I wonder how the Master Chief did just that in Halo CE? And in Halo 2?
Its just a game play feature.
We can’t go in water because it wouldn’t make sense. Guns can’t shoot in water, except for a few newer ones specially made to do so, and even if they can operate in water, it only means they will continue to operate. A bullet won’t go any where underwater.
Spartans would also move very slowly underwater, and be unable to swim due to their weight, which is why in Halo CE when the Master Chief fell in water we walked underwater while playing as him, and it is why when he fell in water in Halo 2 he sank to the bottom.
There would basically be nothing you could do underwater except walk.
Also, Halo has overblown the spartan armor surviving space and free falls too. It was always strongly implied spartan armor could only shield a spartan from the harsh effects from space, but not provide air. The Master Chief was supposed to be holding his breath when he detonated the Covenant’s bomb inside their ship in Halo 2, which is why he said nothing while in outer space.
And in Halo 3 he didn’t free fall all the way from space, and 6 in Reach had some sort of re-entry pack on and could have also had an armor lock ability when he fell back down to Reach.
But 343 didn’t get that, and just threw the Master Chief from orbit down to Requiem with no explanation of how he can survive that but not a fist fight with an elite theoretically in his armor.
And then they have him constantly running around in space as if he has a 7 hour supply oxygen tank on.

This logic started with six.
Survives fall from outer space; Dies from 20 foot fall.

Has suit that is air-tight for space survival.
Still drowns in water.

Who here would risk their life Scuba diving in a spacesuit? It might be possible with some modifications, but NASA and the Navy still shop at different stores.
Let’s face it, Spartans have the same critical weakness as the Wicked Witch of the West.
