impact

have you gone back to halo reach, picked up a sniper , and headshot someone? If you have you may have noticed that the bullet effects them, they get flipped over as the bullet passes through there head, instead of in h5 where you just sort of collapse In an awkward and painful looking yoga pose. I want the bullets to EFFECT you, I want to see my opponents blasted across the map when i shoot them with a shotgun, not them fall backwards like I pushed them, what do you think, share your thoughts below

That would be interesting to see in halo 5. Especially in the campaign or in warzone when a warden eternal spawns in and you decide to headshot him with a sniper.

You do realize that Spartans wheigh about 1000 lbs, right? To launch one across the room would… well… take a lot of force.

But that’s not how it works. That’s pure Hollywood nonsense and it violates physics. Since every action has an equal and opposite reaction, in order for your opponent to go flying from the force of the blast, you must also go flying from the force of the blast. Backwards. Getting shot in the head and doing a backflip is … dumb. If you get hit with a blast of buckshot, the pellets slice through you, you die, and you collapse on the ground. They don’t grab on to you and carry you away. If you’re wearing a vest or armor and they impact it instead of you, it will hit you with the same amount of force the recoil caused (minus what was lost on its journey to you), so if you have poor footing, it could make you stumble and fall over, but you’re not going across a map unless the person who fired the gun was launched backwards across the map as well. So every time in a movie you see someone get shot with a shotgun and fly away … that’s stupid.

That would mean that if the blast was powerful enough to launch a human person, the recoil would also knock you back the same distance. Equal and opposite reactions. What’s really happening is, the force from the blast is pushing the butt of a gun into one person’s shoulder, but also (with the same force) launching a tiny piece of metal out of a barrel that pierces the other person’s body and kills them; not blasts them across the map. Recoil from the gun is pretty safe against your shoulder, but a tiny piece of metal at the same force will puncture you. And even if the recoil was enough to launch you backwards across the map, the tiny piece of metal would just slice through the opponent even faster. It’s science, y’all.

Anyway, you asked for my thoughts. When someone dies from being shot, I expect their body to react like a tiny piece of metal just pierced it, not go flying away or do back flips. Because physics.
