See right there is our middle ground. The crazy alien technology is extremely small, extremely powerful magnets! But it is actually kind of fun to think of the ways they could do all this stuff. I am waiting for an FPS to make a gun that shoots a small ballbearing at 0.9999c. The effect that would have in atmosphere is catastrophic (even for the shooter). Realistically it would superheat the air within a fairly large radius of the path but it would also force air out of the path and the air collapsing back in would either crush people or deafen them. I'm not sure how far the ballbearing would go though, there is a lot of things that "could" happen but its all speculation honestly. The coolest thing would be for it to go until it hits something and explode (Tunguska style). On second thought that gun would be way too powerful..nevermind =P |
Hilarious. It's always refreshing to see someone pull in physics to make someone else look stupid, especially when it involves sci-fi. |
QFT. I mean it's a videogame, what next is someone going to try to use science to explain the light and dark parallel dimensions in Metroid Prime 2 or how the suit in that game can transform into a morph ball with a human inside? |
Oh jesus, get over yourselves. Are you guys kidding me? You are gonna give me a hard time for being interested in this stuff? Ok you guys are right we aren't on a video game website where we are analyzing the minutia of every video game related fact in existance. I make no apologies for being a geek. In fact it supports my hobbies quite well, and I'll be damned if I am going to feel ashamed for being interested in this stuff just because two big tough guys on an internet forum want to feel better about themselves. Hell the entire statement is flat out hypocracy from rocketpig. Here let me quote him from another thread... "STFU and allow others who do enjoy their upcoming experience witness it without idiotic persecution."
Seriously, at this point you guys are just flamebaiting me, hell thats all the original rocketpig post was. Flat out attacking my viewpoint. If you have a problem report the post, otherwise take rocketpigs advice. |
Sorry to have offended you, I guess I get a little touchy when Halo 3 is put under the microscope.
