As the title says, when climbing up on grappling hooks as much as possible of the energy should be taken because I really dont think you can manage to climb with 30 kg equipment and then make a run for it. It really doesnt need any good explaination cause you can imagine carrying all that gear and climbing up a rope. Please correct me if i am wrong.

I always find myself climbing faster than others on the rope :) But it isn't a big deal. People rarely use them anyway.

Me when SLing I always direct a Specialst to throw it over walls and such to avoid going around and getting killed etc.

Dont think of the grapple always as a grapple, think of it as a metaphor. It can be seen as many things like a breachable item into buildings that cannot be possibly rendered for you to enter, think of it as using another squaddie for a boost to get over them walls just a little bit too high.

Instead of making it slower could just be used by only 1 person at a time whilst the others cover the person on the rope cause ive had my whole sqaud climbing up 1 rope at once very realistic :D

Don't think these guys are wearing 30kgs of equipment either.

Indeed, it could simply represent crawling through a smashed window/getting a foot up from someone else/etc.

On Vanilla BF2,the grappling hook is only on Special Forces.
If ur not going to do some special like climb over a wall and infiltrate,its ok.
But as i said,Special Forces.
