Hangliders
« on: June 17, 2006, 07:52:24 pm »
Wouldnt it be cool to spawn with a hangglider rather than a parachute?

In infiltration it would be awesome swooping over an enemies base and dropping grenades.
LOL kinda reminds me of a Bond movie. It would give more control and distance than using the prone position with jets.

The hangglider would not last long after you spawn, as it would give you way to much advantage.
The jets would not be used while using the hangglider.

Kinda a crazy idea, discuss.

Well, I think it should be an option for the mapmaker to enable it on their map. It does sound cool, but can you imagine using it in inf_kcasino? Or any indoor map? Like mansion? It would be bad on maps like those.

But it would add more interest to the game, so I'm in favour of it, mainly because it would be so cool!

err/.. uh.. it would kind of be a useless implement? wouldn't it? And why bother risk creating more bugs when the current parachutes are somewhat ok..

good intentions, bad idea..the parachute is ok for now, the hanglider would proly end up more as a hassle than a good thing

Your acting like your having a duel and your opponent gets a pistol and you get a spork.
Isn't that pretty much what it is? I dunno wtf a spork is, I suppose it's way weaker than the pistol since you compared that to this.

yeah, not very useful - superman should do.  Parachutes are meant to give soften your fall, not be used as a tactical way to infiltrate - that's just not... soldat!

How about some jet planes!!!!!   J/K!!

it would be useless, you would glide over everybody wich would give them a free shot, and if you have the shoot back option then that would be cheating, so no thanks, parachutes are bad enough already...

i don think parachutes are bad, since all you do is go straight down..its not like a flyover.  The parachute just needs to be improved so it actually works right.

Thats the problem, the para chutes ONLY go down, wich makes them useless, same as falling but possibly slower..

Not really because the actual equation goes like this: superman+parachute=superman-parachute. ;D
