Does anyone else find the gravity on the Moon to be an immersion breaker?

Yes

200

No

314

Don't give a d - HIVE!

138

So, I'm loving the game but every time I go to the moon and the movement and jump capabilities are identical to earth or an earth sized mass, it throws me. Anyone else?

  • You must also hate that the atmospheric pressure on Venus doesn't crush you to death.

  • Maybe the hive presence or the traveler had an impact on the natural balance of the moon. I mean the traveler did make Venus and mercury into paradise planets, he could at the very least make the moon a little more habitable for human life. Low gravity causes negative side effects on the human body, that's why astronauts have a 6 month to a year physical therapy session after a stay on the international space station. So if the moon had a 1.0g rating there would be no side effects besides no oxygen. This is the same reason why the cabal wear pressurized suits to duplicate the heavy gravity of their homeworld. They would lose bone density and mass.

      They will fix it with DLC. Wait until you sink into the mud pits of Uranus.

      • Honestly speaking my heart did sink a little when I didn't moon jump... I mean yeah warlock already basically does moon jump but I like moon jumps and I wanted to moon jump while I moon jumped.

      • I don't find the lack of moon gravity on the moon any more jarring than the presence of moon gravity on Earth and Venus. It seems totally fine on Mars, though. John Carter said so.

            The burnt out 1976 Ford Pintos on Venus rip me out of my trance.

            • So there is the Giant freakin ball called the traveller sitting just above the earth. That thing is genuinely huge, but there he is just hangin. Douglas adams said it best in HHGTTG: Hanging in the air exactly the way bricks don't. So, maybe, just maybe this big ole ball knows a thing or two about how gravity goes down, what actually it actually is, and how to screw with it. Read more sci fi. Messing with every single physical parameter know to man is what they do. If warp drives don't mess with your immersion, altered gravitation on the moon should be okay for you to.

            • the hive have gravity generators underneath the surface so they may dig and tunnel efficiently without tons of dust and rock floating around. plus without gravity they probably couldnt survive or hold an atmosphere. you really thing that little cloak is gonna save you from the cold in space? or the sun's radiation?

              • If that was the case all the planets etc would have their own gravitational pull on us. Probably too much of an issue for the game to handle.

              • Yes. Bungie had so much potential to make the moon one of the funniest levels. Yet they decided to cut corners and use "the traveler terraformed the moon" as a cover.

              • The traveler made the atmosphere different... Your question is like... Does the fact that you don't burn to a crisp on Venus kill the immersion? Again the traveler changed all this.
