You know, there's this huge structure inside earth in the story and all... I'm sure there's somehalf decent explanation. It makes things more fun anyways.

I don't think physics have to be 100% realistic in a sci-fi shooter with an alien race that spews blue blood and a single soldier can take down a 10-story walker.

Yes.

1. You have been trianed to a peak of phisical perfection since the age of 6

2. You have been altered by surgery. It increases your muscual mass, streanth, reflexes etc.

3. You are in armour that greatly increases you streanth in the first place.

4. Its call science fiction for a reason.

No, they were disappointed with more than that. The campaign in general was a running joke full of cliches compared to Halo 1 and they were disappointed with the auto-aim in the multiplayer.

What we should really be asking is why you arent questioning any other game, nearly every single game has fantasy type phyics. Hell even ALL Hollywood movies use fantasy physics. Exagerated physics can be tweaked to make the game more fun and intresting, trying to be too realistic limits the game in terms of gameplay.

Which only proves that people DO play halo for its story or people wouldnt be disapointed. Hince why many people are hoping Halo 3 has a great story to finish the game off.

Would it have been so wrong to make that level's physics realistic? at least every other level could be argued that the gravity constant IS lower.

I dunno about you, but ive never seen a baloon kill someone by landing on them. And halos vehicles don't "float" when you flip them. If youre gonna acuse the game of something at least make those acusations valid.

I'm pretty sure vehicles fall at normal speed. They just have a tendency to flip over on the correct side.

Were not talking about Forza2 or GT5 here, Halo isent a simulation, so unrealism does not matter, its not like its even set in this time period or is supposed to be possible.

Why does it matter, Halo's physics is just another reason it set itself apart from the crowd. Halo 2 tried being more realistic with exploding cars and things of the sort and it took away from some of that stuff, hince why in Halo 3 they are allowing you to modify nearly every aspect of the game in multiplayer so you can make the game you want to have including indestructable vehicles.

No, I mean that you're an embarrassment to the human race and that we should probably bury you in a hole before any other sentient species come along and take notice.
