that sucks for the HALO (high Altitude, low opening) fans...
I think if the dempeners open before hitting the ground is ok. If the look is kind of like in Minority report, it will look sweet
Imo, the whole 'flying' aspect of PS has been left out or simplifed a little too much, but that is understandable for a large scale game like this one.
And for sure, there will be a lot of new modifications to be done through patchs and the likes.
I hope they make everything more complexe so that everyone can find more expertise in their field of interest towards this game! All in due time of course!
