Loose health when jumping into vehicles

Rambo Hunter · Post by **Rambo Hunter** » 2007-07-06 19:42

I was just playing, i was on a building (the big hotel) and there was a tank under me. I decided to ry jump off and press "e" to see if i could pop into it. And i did, without loosing any health.
Can you fix this? not very realistic to fall 9 stories and instantly jump into a tank without loosing health

That doesn't sound like an easy thing to catch. :/
Maybe a check that you are standing still when pressing the "use vehicle" key would prevent that. It would also prevent people of jumping into moving vehicles (which somewhat makes sense to me).

Anyone tried this with a helicopter? I so gotta do that, just the Blackhawk or Littlebird to hover close to the building

Anyway, it doesn't seem to be a frequent problem, and it might be hard to solve.

How do you jump 50 m down over the side doors into a vehicle, is beyond me....

This kind of IS a problem, on Jabal one time I was with about 10 people on a roof top and we were getting pounded by an APC, a guy brought a Humvee around the corner and we all just leapt off the 2 story building safely into a Humvee and escaped... That's kind of cheap.

I do it all the time, climb up to the top of my house and jump into the car through the sunroof just for laughs!

The game doesn't care which direction you're coming from, as long as you get there.

Reminds me of the old western movies where you jump off the top balcony straight onto the horses back and ride away.

Oops I'm showing my age darn it.

Well at least you can't join onto a ladder in mid flight like in the HL engine. It was funny to jump off a 100m ledge and grab onto a tiny ladder at the bottom and land saftly.

can do it on grapple lines though...good if you are falling from a tree stand..

WRONG

Its possible, I do it sometimes, when I need to jump down and theres a ladder going up on the neighbouring building and it works...

I don't think its that important, if your whole squad can jump off and escape in a Humvee, then Kudos to you.

Speaking of entry points and ladders, what's cheap about the ladders is that you can get onto the ladder and start climbing from either the back or front side of the ladder. For example, you can just start climing a ladder from going behind and not circling all the way to the front to climb it.
