I was thinking about how much I miss the fun gametypes like infection, race, and rocket race, and it got me thinking about Halo 5’s physics in comparison to previous titles.
Vehicles like mongooses and warthogs are much heavier now. You used to be able to send a mongoose flying with a grenade or even a brute shot type weapon (smaller explosions). Now, they hardly effect those vehicles except in terms on damage.
This is why rocket race simply wouldn’t work or at least wouldn’t be as fun in Halo 5. I think the mongoose is probably too heavy and the rockets wouldn’t really affect the race that much and overall its less silly/entertaining to watch a mongoose hardly budge compared to seeing one fly into -Yoinking!- orbit like older games.
