Leaping (from) tall bldgs in a single bound!

BirdShot · 03-22-2006, 11:13 AM

I'm thinking of the way you can get onto the Mosque roof in Karkand 2. Is it possible to make that leap fatal?

I'm all for getting onto the roof, but maybe via a ladder instead?

Thanks.

I don't think a fall from that height would be fatal, though if done wrong it would break your leg. If you did it right, you could easily do unscathed, though I do doubt that our soldiers are acrobats.

and remember they are carrying like 50Lbs of kit.

I took a fall like that hiking on the Mantario Trail (if anyone knows it). Sure, the 50lbs of equipment made me hit harder, but I kind of angled it so I landed on my back. I just got a bruise. If I was jumping down, I'm sure I could do it. You just have to be a bit loose and sort of roll to lessen the impact.

And shhhhhh about the Mosque secret

.

It's powerful stuff!

Yea. Actually the military teaches soldiers how to fall in bootcamp. At least in the U.S military. Basically your supposed to bend your knees and roll once you hit the floor. Otherwise trying to land standing up could cause leg injuries.

Perhaps if the PR team gets the oppurtuniy, to add an animation that makes the solider drop and roll after falling from a specific height.

^ it's called a parachute landing fall, or PLF.

Haha, that'd be so hilarious to see a soldier jump from one building to another and do a PLF. So akward looking, lol

The animation in game shows you landing on your face, then he gets back on his feet in a nanosecond.

Since when does Dice do anything realistic? I know exactly what you meen though, I guess they assumed if you drop more than 20ft you must be skydiving.
