Transport helicopters rope system for infantry units

[Spook]

Serious question from someone who always sees these fastrope references on here and never understood why. How come these never made it into the game?

You do realize, that in the video the guys are simply throwing grappling hooks out of the chopper right? Its not a video of an actual game feature concept

FastRopez are much wanted but impossible to implement. Its kinda the most popular PR meme since many many years.

Only Chuc could have done fastropes for PR, but sadly he retired.

I believe it's BF2 and engine limitations / hardcoded stuff / etc.

Pretty much what jacksonez said but also that vBF2 was originally meant to have fastropes in the main game but the feature was pulled due to not being possible on the engine
Note on the left of this alpha promo picture for BF2 the fastroping from the blackhawk

I don't want to open a new suggestion thread but while we're at these amazing suggestions, I think its fair to give RU Infantry some more stamina.

@ OP, my apologies, I approved this suggestion as it's a bit of a running joke around here regarding fastropes/ropes from helicopters.

Fastropes are a deep wound in our hearts as we've all wanted this for a long time but it's something BF2 cannot support. There has been a near success in another mod, however this proved unreliable.

Hope you don't mind this thread being the butt of a bit of fun

Hi ,
and one more extreme

[IlluminatorConfirmed]

Erhm, I thought that fastropes were implemented years ago. If you're pilot of a transport chopper, you have to stabilize it first, than, when it's stable, hold "ALT" and press "F4" on your keyboard, to undeploy them repeat same actions.

Could we also have NVGs? It comes with BF2 special forces.

and gas masks

[mat552]

NVGs come with night maps, which have had longstanding problems in PR due to shaders.

I would love to see the addition of gas and gas masks, however number of weapon slots available makes this something that is difficult. Also I dont think their is a way to reduce stamina if you are wearing it, another issue because you would just always wear it then.

Its probablly possible in a workaround involving thermals. The US army uses a mix of thermal and green light NVGs/NVM's now.

I know this idea is a bit silly , but it would be awesome it dev team add it in SQUAD . I have a question btw is it possible when a soldier is in transport helicopter , when he press E to stay inside helicopter and then go through the exit?

[PatrickLA_CA]

Yes, they can change the exit point to a place inside but only a few helicopters (Chinook and Osprey) can be walked inside. And even if you exit in them, you might die quite often if the helicopter moves.

Yeah , that's true , but if they add autohovering for helicopter a certain death will not be an option

After I saw the change-log for 1.3.5 I didn't think my day could get better. This thread upped the ante though. OMG FASTROPE!!
