Battle Room FTW

I've always wanted to ask Halo fans this. If you guys could spend one day being chased by Marines in the forest during Spartan training or an hour in the Battle Room, which would you choose? Can't think of anything that beats the mind shattering awesomeness that is zero-g acrobatic combat.

After reading Ender's Game in high school (c. 1998), a buddy and I made a Marathon Infinity mod to simulate the Battle Room. We pushed the engine about as far as we could to get low/zero-G (I don't remember if this actually worked out or not), and changed the weapons and enemies with Anvil. All the combatants were Vac Bobs, and there were obstacles you'd have to maneuver around. Was pretty hard to beat, as I remember, but we had SO much fun making it!
