Hello I was Playin today in the TW tourny When we were dropping and I was thinking Can we make the Parachutes real?

Like add a Varible so that sometimes the Chutes cord fails and you have to pull the backup. Also can we make it so when getting out of planes and other Aircraft theres a Small delay so they cant just hit E and make it safley to the ground. Make it so they have to do it 1 second Earlier for the Ejection seat or whatever it is to eject them.

i like the idea about the time delay thingy. In today's dc you can open your chute at a ridiculously low level. A parachute won't just open at the snap of a finger, there should be a 1 or 2 second time delay befoe you'r chute really open's......

in the america's army parachute design you actually fall surprisingly fast. there's so much you have to do in the time before you hit the ground.

imagen an amrica's army parachute that you could deploy your self, that would be a good dc chute.....

i'd guess you could directly modify the BF2 chute to make it so

A) it doesn't instantly slow you down, it gradually slows you down once you open it, gradually enough so that you have to open it a good 3 or 4 seconds before you hti the ground.

B) the landing animation is to the land and roll. the current animation is running....

C) you can't shoot while parachuting down

D) the chute actually folds up, and hits the ground and stays there for a minute.

now ejector seats, boy i hope they can get those to work some how, that would be freakin awesome.

can it be made so if you open your shoot higher than you wanted you can cut it loose and pull the reserve?

other than that i think its a good idea and will make it mroe exciting

maybe add a startlifter and do some staticline jumps?

i read that the bf2 team tried ejection seats but that it caused more problems than it solved, still i like the idea and hate seeing players bail and chute 30 ft above ground, and in a few bf2 videos ive seen people use chutes off of buildings, which i dont think the military does very often (if at all). also i think chutes should only be able to be used once and that after every use you should have to return to base and either pick up a new one or something like that, chutes dont just fold up and go perfectly back in the bag. nor do they disapear as soon as your feet hit the ground. i think the chute should fall all the way to the ground and if not stay there then at least be detached from the player for a little while.
