He can only give you his opinion.
LOL, yeah.

But sometimes, I'm right. I've been spamming this forum for a while, y'know?
Anyway, yeah, it should have the door mounted M240s. That's standard loadout, AFAIK.

(I don't know if this has been suggested yet) I think it would be awesome to give helo's like the blackhawks the ability to deploy fast ropes for troops to rope down on. Since a lot of streets are to small to land a blackhawk in, and landing has a lot of risk to it. It would also just be sweet to be able to rope troops out.
Let me fill out what details Top_Cat left out. Fastroping has been suggested many times before, and has become something of a joke around here for that reason. People who suggest it tend to be flamed and their threads to be locked. Luckily, you posted it in this thread, which I seem to be the only regular reader of.
Well, back to the ropes. As TC said, EA tried to make it and failed. It can (maybe) theoretically be done, but it would look absolutely horrible - the BF2 engine is not made for fastroping - would be very buggy - like the grappling hook, where you loose your grip every time you hit something and die if a single round hits you - and it would be completely unneeded, as the helos can land in narrow streets because their rotor blades don't collide with objects. It would be cool, yes, realistic as well, but would serve no real purpose and would be a lot of work for something that can't really be implemented properly or possibly not at all.
And thanks to TC for arranging the safe house.
