Well if you're stupid enough to eject while upside down then you deserve to die.

I was thinking more as you exiting your plane while it is moving and it would simply "run you over." Unless this "ejection seat" is really....really...really fast, you may get trampled by your airplane as it moves forward.

Surely you can be placed about 10 metres above the plane?

Just appear 10 m above? But if that used the E button also, it would be really annoying to land and get out.
People could get confused quickly...

a fastrope where the rope is hanging off the BH, is retractable, is able to be grabbed onto, and ultimately slid down to the ground qualifys as working in my books.

If the exit point of the BH for the passengers is right even with the rope, all you do is double tap E and your on that rope, how hard is that?? If you can do that, why the not implement it??

You could probably get down the rope in under 3 seconds if you use shift+down, and the bird wouldnt even need to land to drop you off, really usefull in urban and tree'd areas/rough terrain.

Plus think about it, if its implemented, no more annoying "plx add fastrops" suggestions...

Honestly I think if fast roping was implemented, nobody would even use it. They'd probably just complain how unreal it is that they have to jump out and regrab onto the rope. Not to mention the pilot would have no idea when you hit the ground so you'd end up with people hanging on to ropes as the pilot flys away, with you ending up dead when you inevitably hit a tree. George of the Jungle style. "Spec, spec, spec ops of PR, fast ro-o-ping. Aieieie-ieieie. Watch out for that APC!"

if fast roping was implemented (wich for the guys one the ropes sake i hope it isnt) i think id hang on to the rope just to see if i do hit an apc or somthing else lol

We'll have whole squads dangling from the ropes while the chopper is buzzing along! Awesome. I do like this guys attitude though, hell at least he's optimistic and it might even be possible. Who are we to say fast ropes would suck...we'd have to test it out and see if its possible.

they would be cool, but the little insurgents and their trust RPGs would have somthing to say to the stationary BlackHawk now wouldnt they

Quick, delete this thread, before the next suggestion flood rolls on... and this time they will have new arguments.

If they put in fast ropes it would be like the miniguns, idiot heaven. People would be dangling from the ropes while the BH was doing 200mph.

Duh. Thats what everybody would like to see have you seen the amount of times it has been suggested?

eddie · Post by **eddie** » 2007-08-05 16:37

People should not be allowed to post a suggestion before reading the entire list of suggestions, twice. Just so it can get into their stupid brain.

like for the tank turret view for example.. we all know there are aimbots out there which can lock on to targets, even to particular points. so why not use it to keep the turret steady to a xyz axis? or turn around the seatarrangement in apc's, so you start off in the last seat, press F1 and drive off.

Or have make people take a quiz on suggestions and forum rules before they post or make a new thread.

I do hope your not suggesting tanks need their aim made more accurate. Aimbot is an external program not part of the bf2 engine.

I dont think they can alter the spawning position for apcs

OMG! you figured it out, a button!!!! Until now the Devs have been experimenting with levers, switches and cranks but to no avail. A button, how simple yet brilliant, quick some one go tell the Devs.....

Sorry I couldn't help myself, sorry if I offended the poster. I can see a 24H ban coming for this... I repent.

Lol, look at all of my posts (and most of AD&As). That is the limit you can post to without being banned perma.
