    Gravity Glitch?!?

    Hey,


    So I was doing this supply mission and suddenly, a flame thrower guy appeared out of nowhere. After I shot him a couple time, he knelled down and started floating. Then I was on my way for the third supply and I drove a hover boat off this cliff and then, the hover-boat started spinning... When I reached my destination, I exploded some barrels and cars, as expected... Everything flew off like it was missing gravity... Game crashed... Is this a glitch ? Or an Easter Egg?

    Some have experienced strange physics glitches with the game, some more severe than others. What you described is somewhere between mild and severe.

    Since the grenade launcher is my weapon of choice for roaming around to get stuff done without being harrassed (also great for clearing posters while staying on the buzzer), I've seen some hilarious stuff that makes me wish I recorded some of it. I've hit a yak that burst into flames and proceeded to do high speed cartwheels up a mountain with every third flip bouncing him up in the air 3 times as high. I hit a gunner on a gun truck and blew him in his standing position straight up about 100 feet in the air, easily clearing the treetops. I've got more that aren't as memorable but I still laugh and enjoy it but it seems like there is a problem with the explosive force reaction.

    Physics can go completely mad at times. Try shooting an eagle and watch what happens when it hits the ground, sometimes it'll bounce and go way over to the other side of the world. Most animals are also really slilppery, they'll slide around for ages. Push boxes off bell towers and watch them roll and pick up speed like crazy.

    And sometimes when I'm out running in the woods, a tiny little plant will launch me backwards for some strange reason. Trying to figure out how to repeat it, but it seems random.

    Oh, and if you're grappling and the rope goes inside a rock, be prepared to be launched up like a rocket and fall flat on your face on the top.


    Still, it's not like Half-Life 2 physics, where you can walk over two objects that are on top of eachother and suddenly just die. Or, try to park the buggy when you reach the lighthouse, that can also insta kill you.
