Question on physics

[Amsterdam]

2 questions on physics.

1)

After shooting or breaking an object, say a chair would it then just dissapear?

2)

Say I shot a wooden plank/board, would the outcome be different depending which weapon was used? For instance, if I shot the board with a 9mm pistol you would expect just a small hole to be made, where as with a shotgun blast, it would shatter the wood.

1) It seems that when the fragments get small enough that they don't effect gameplay, they fade out after a while.

2) if you watch the e3 vid, gordon shoots a pile of wood next to the pool. You can see that two pieces splinter in two in exactly the same way, leaving two pairs of lumber with identical jagged breaks. It seems to imply that materials have set breaking lines. I hope this is addressed or not too noticeable in game.

i bet there are variables for how long things stay.

get the feeling they have set breaking points, and the amount of breakage allowed.

I also think projectiles with a higher kinetic energy rating will cause greater breakage

Guessing ofcourse

sadly they have if u look at the stider vid.... look at the windows its shuts out... it take out 7 windows 6 of them have the same look after they have been taken out.

This was mentioned in a email to Gabe, he said something about fixing it.
