I love how dropship doors seem to home in on whichever actor I am using like knives thrown from the sky.

The greatest moment I probably had playing was on the Citadel custom map. I was operating a Robot 1 with a shotgun and a dropship door collided with the platform I was standing on, right at the robot's feet. When I moved forward, the Robot kicked the door loose and it fell straight down, directly onto the head of an approching heavy coalition soldier, perfectly slicing him down the middle in a spray of blood and gibs.

The whole thing just looked so casual from the Robot's actions.

Crashing a drop-ship into a pile of dummies... Three times.

Negative high mass, 0 sharpness particles.

You never know what will happen next.

my favorite part of physics would have to be the gibs falling and crushing. They just do so many funny things. For instance... Me and my friend were playing on the same team. We were playing as ordinary coalition or heavy coalition or something. I have no clue what we were being. But we were just walking around, shooting down dropships, when out of nowhere, I yelled "Watch out!" right before a piece of dropship that had been knocked off in our exploding of the crafts landed right next to him. I said "Phew, that almost hit you..." and right as I said this, the exact opposite of the gib, from the other side of the dropship, slammed down on him.
It obviously killed him. But without the physics... He probably wouldn't have died, and the game would generally suck for us. But the gib physics rock.


P.S. Sorry if this thread be dead, or if this is a bad post. I still can't get used to some of the rules of this forum. If it is, please PM me. I want to learn.

LO i have also played with friends and the same thing have happened.....

the realistic diving is easy to simulate. Just goto an edge of a big fall, the flop off using s keeping hold of it. there ya go

I absolutely love taking the Frag Robot and jumping directly on top of the body of a Dropship. When I do it right, BOTH Dropship engines rocket back into space, and the first time I did it I was like "HELL YEAH" because I never even considered it a possibility of my actions.

Also, not entirely physics, but Capnbubs' flame effects are amazing, especially when something is flung at an odd angle and the shrapnel flies away realistically.

Blowinng away a dropships thruster and watching it spiral into the ground crushing the cargo it dropped off

Take that Coalition!

So many fun times...
Its always random... You never know where its going to go.

When I was playing with my friend and I blew away an enemy dropship with the heavy turret, it moved away with the shot and flew offscreen. My friend and I thought nothing of it, but when I spotted another enemy, dropship gibs started to rain down on us. One of the doors completely buried and destroyed my heavy turret in the ground. My friend was lucky that he had an AAL marine, he was just buried and used a chainsaw to dig himself out. I was out of funds after that.

1. Doing jetpack rolls with a dummy. Just slam it into the roof of something with the jetpack, then fire bursts to make it bend and eventually dive to the ground (backwards) and start a sequence of backflips.

2. Headbutting a Dropship reactor and actually suriving. The one time it actually worked, the reactor came right back to the fallen dropship and blew up on it. Hilarity.

3. Firing jetpack bursts in order to maintain a high altitude and gain speed while using a clone. It will eventually crash and release a blast of blood and gore of unimaginable amplor.

4. Same for dropships. Once the gibs had enough velocity to make it around the whole map three times in a row.

The fact that dropship engines are actually homing missiles.

1. Well, I downloaded a plasma weapons mod and tried out the sniper rifle. One of my coalition soldiers took it out on top of a bunker and fired it off to the left. Apparently it went all the way around the world because a blue bullet immediately came down from the right and popped my dude's head. But, see, I didn't know the game too well at this point and didn't realize that the AI wouldn't use mod weapons unless I specifically equipped them, so I naturally assumed that that fire had come from the enemies. I trotted another soldier up there to pick up his fallen comrade's weapon and fire off randomly to the right in the hopes of killing the bastard that killed his buddy, only to see bullets raining down from the left. It was then that I realized what happened.

2. I know it's not particularly hard to accomplish this, but literally blocking a doorway with the corpses of your fallen foes to the point where the AI no longer considers it a door and starts digging underneath it instead of trying to get through it always makes me feel like a Hollywood Spartan.

That might explain why i "always" get hit by them when i have shot them of.....

I like how you can walk up to an enemy and disarm them.
