Gravity on Different Planets and the Moon

So, we know that the game will allow us to go to a whole bunch of different locations throughout the solar system. Earth, the moon, Mars, and Venus are at least confirmed. (Did I miss any?) If we're planet hopping, I think it would be absolutely awesome to have different gravity effects depending on where we are in the solar system. Imagine jumping a few stories up on the moon, assuming we've got a pretty big standard jump on Earth. Just for reference, surface gravity on other planets relative to Earth's: Jupiter 2.543 Neptune 1.137 Saturn 1.065 Earth 1 Uranus 0.905 Venus 0.905 Mars 0.378 Mercury 0.377 Moon 0.165 Pluto 0.059

  • It's details like that, that make great games great! It'd be neat to have low or high gravity in certain places, but a whole planet sounds like a lot.

  • I doubt Bungie will go so far as to code in different gravity figures for each individual planet. Then again, who knows...

    • well im ashuming the planets where terraformed so maybe they fixed that problem

    • Personally, I don't think it would be good for gameplay. But it is an interesting idea, and it makes sense.
