Has anyone else noticed that when you are killed in the air or fall of the map
it seems like your falling very slow compared to past halo games.
Idk its like when you die gravity is decreased.
Has anyone else noticed this at all??
I’ve noticed, but this matters how much?
> I’ve noticed, but this matters how much?
why do you have to ask that question. I just noticed something and wanted to see what people
thought. why do you have to have a answer for everything??
Seems more realistic. I remember someone using the term “wing resistance”.
I haven’t noticed it but maybe I just need to go through the gameplay footage again and look for it.
Yeah I noticed too, and less swaying with the arms and legs.
This might look weird in-game if you keep an eye on it which could be funny. 
Maybe because the ragdoll effects are different? No arms flailing about.

More realistic? If that would be the case it would be unrealistic because the armor weighs butt loads of tons.

The physics engine in Halo 4 is new, so it doesn’t surprise me that things are a little different than before. I also am reminded of how the jump height has been increased in Halo 4. And we can’t forget we’re still viewing early builds of the game.

The weight of an object doesn’t increase its fall speed. But I do think the speed should be the same as it usually is. Slower sounds less funny and awesome.

These comments are really getting old. Some people actually like small details that show more quality, or make more sense.

yeah i agree that it does lean more towards the unrealistic side. I can see that when your alive the spartan can probly alter gravity some how (im guessing).
But when when you fall you should fall fast and should pick up speed the longer/higher you fall. That would be more realistic. I also wish his arms would be in front of him in a way. Not leaning down. but idk just my opinion.

Halo has always had the best physics. I can’t wait to see the final product.

Yup, all objects fall at the same speed. A bowling ball and car will fall at the exact same rate. However as height/wind increases the smaller object will face more resistance. I think Galileo proved this. It is in fact more realistic.

That’s so weird.
So will a feather and a bowling ball dropped from the same height in a room with no wind reach the floor both at the same time?
Gentleman, we have to find ourselfs such a room and test this!

I think there’d actually have to be no air, windy or otherwise, but yeah. Apparently, an astronaut confirmed it while on the moon, or something.

All objects that have the same size and shape (regardless of weight) fall at the same speed when dropped by the same height.

A feather succumbs way too easily. Try objects that are more than a pound for accurate results.

Pretty much this. This doesn’t apply in a vacuum though.

While what you said is true an object has to reach terminal velocity and then will stop speeding up due gravity force being equal to wind resistance.
But a human reaching terminal velocity would reach over 115-120mph in a random positions. A spartan weighs so much so that would be double or tripled. So you wouldn’t even see them slow down by the time they were out of sight.
