parachutes...

i know that this may have been discused before but what if, in the later versions you are able to deploy your parachute when you want, and not just when you spawn from a certain height, this could be particularly helpfull in realystic mode when you have little or no jets and you are falling to your death, it may also help other ppl in other game modes to try and dodge bullets...

what'dya say... :-\

this exact same topic came up fyi*

most responses i remember stated that you already have jet-boots and there is no need for parachute.  You have no control (or only very little) on a parachute and only one default map has no jets - and that map doesn't have any places where you can fall from high - if you do manage to get hurt due to falling then you probably deserve to.
Can't think of anything original to put here...

No, this is the reason we have jets, and the more soldat isn't like James Bond the better.

And people would take advantage of them in realistic mode and in traingmaps where you are supposed to fall by the will of gravity.

You know, there will be james bond in the sky fighting with a bad dude in an exploading plain and he makes the bad guy unconsious and jumps out of the plain. He lives because of the parachuit that is built into his vest that Q made for him.

You know stuff like that.

Voted no. You can dodge bullets or avoid taking falling damage with the jet boots as it is. Plus, slowing your decent with a parachute would just make you a sitting duck.

If you're high enough to take falling damage, you're high enough to regain enough jets to prevent falling damage.

Enough said.

No for me.
