Disregard everything you've previously heard about the Masterchief height according to official Bungie sources..
Check this out..
From Lukems in the current Bungie Update:
Check it yourself if you don't beleive me.. it's right near the end of the battle rifle bullet spread discussion (in the "Math Class" section)

My jaw hit the floor... This is pretty damn significant, and explains quite a few scaling issues I've experienced. .75 units (and 1 unit is 120 inches..) that means he's 90 inches tall! That's 7 foot 6 inches tall...
(The helmet is APPROX .094 wide.. that would be approx 11.28 inches.. or 11-1/4" inches wide.)
It would seem that he's referring to the actual model size too.. SUGGESTING (in my opinion) that the masterchief is always seen hunched over (he only straightens up when he's dead), the MODEL, hunched and all, is 7 foot 6 inches tall... potentially putting him at closer to 8 foot when totally straightened out. I know that directly conflicts with data from the novels and manuals, but if that's what's actually in the game, that's costuming canon as far as I'm concerned.
It certainly explains why a 6" diameter Plasma Grenade is dwarfed in his hands to looking a bit like a Softball which is only 4 inches in diameter.
Hmm.. it's also the known height for the Elites too, isn't it?

From Lukems in the current Bungie Update:
"...one world unit is equal to 10 feet, the variation on that bullet is 0.047 world units, or roughly half of a foot. Considering that the Spartan model is 0.75 world units (the Chief is 7 and a half feet tall)...... The Chief’s helmet is approximately 0.094 world units wide..."
