Accelerating Fall Speed.

[excruciator]

Think about the poly bugs that already exist! Even with speedy landings. This would complicate things and most likely get you stuck in the poly a lot.

True, but you must admit that sometime you wish that you could land a little faster.

F12. I would be good for realistic mode, the polybugs won't matter because you brake with jetboots in order not to die. This would make higher jumps deadly - when you don't have so much fuel to brake, and therefore would make parachutes really useful.

True. But the bug possibilities would be worse then the wait. Getting stuck on polies takes longer to get out of then waiting to land.

I think that this idea should, at least, be tested and shown us in a video like EnEsCe show us the knifes with the direction gradient grenades with bullet trails (I think it's spelt that way) in a youtube video.

[Furai]

If it's possible to somehow show it to us I totally agree on that.

Right, but you get killed while landing, but you don't while stuck.

F11, soldat is now good, dont change it

That is only on realistic mode. This would most likely go into the entire game if implemented.

The key to that sentence is while landing. Not at landing.
I meant you get shot while landing, but you don't while stuck.

[Centurion]

Especially in realistic mode and r/s
It's just realistic

10 m/s^2

[p0ppin]

Yes, I know you're thinking about a lot of normal servers, but if falling acceleration was added, a lot of climbing ctf maps would become impossible/useless.  I'm all for the realistic thing, but keep in in realistic mode, not in normal

[croat1gamer]

climb maps are never played in realistic mode

The added speed of you falling would increase the chance of poly bugs.

[L[0ne]R]

On the second thought, it would look weird to see a soldier fall down at an enormous speed and survive (in normal mode).
We already have falling acceleration, it's just terminal velocity is quite low. But i think it's slow enough for others to be able to hit a falling soldier and fast enough for it to look like falling and not floating. I'd say, it's fine as it is now.

[KYnetiK]

I swear, apart from L[0ne]R, few of you seem to think about terminal velocity.

You DO accelerate with gravity, but you reach your terminal velocity too soon.
Increase the terminal velocity. This will allow you to reach a greater speed when falling, but there is still a reasonable limit to how fast you will travel.

Collisions in games take into account your velocity to calculate where you will be in the next frame/instance and check whether that position is at/in a wall and then offsets you accordingly.

In other words, just because you are travelling a little bit faster wont cause the game's collision detection to collapse into itself. You will always get polybugs in some situations because thats the maps design, not the physics.

I support this idea. Faslling a little faster is a good thing, and it adds something dynamic to how people must aim at falling targets, because their speed can vary.

[muzikman]

I don't really care about realism, but it would make the game feel a bit better.   The only problem it would increase polybounces so much- when you hit the ground at full speed you're quite likely to bounce weirdly as it is, and increasing falling speed could exacerbate this.

[tehsnipah]

It does make sense. And realastic definitely should be realistic. I voted F12.

[excruciator]

I think we should start fixing the problem instead of dodging it.(polybug)

[SniperTheKiller]

f11...but if u make longer jetting faster, with same acceleration like falling, then f12.

[adam01526]

I like realism therefore I vote yes!

Like realism ey? Read up on terminal velocity

Yeah it doesn't reach terminal that fast.
