Chivalry mod lowers gravity, terrifies everyone

A reckless disregard for gravity.

A new server-side mode for Chivalry: Medieval Warfare tweaks the gravity so everyone can float. As it turns out, everyone in the game is terrified of floating. Who knew?

The results are unequivocally hilarious, as can be seen in the video below (thanks, GameSpy). Everyone's shrieks of horror drone on for a comically long time, yet no one can resist leaping into the low-gravity battlefield. You'd think they'd be more afraid of ya know, their enemies eviscerating them, but these noble warrior are totally cool with that so long as their feet are on the ground. But floating? That's dangerous!

Also, is it just me, or does everyone in this video scream like a goat?
