Yeah, that would be cool
maybe like, when you press jump while going down the rope, you could do a little hop and go down :P

Umm no? Hes talking about something completely separate, not fastroping from helicopters at all.

I think its a good idea, however what I can see happening is the soldier model abseiling, but the rope still sitting on the rock.

For example, imagine this chick is a soldier in PR, the rope wouldn't be being fed through her hands and the F8/whaletail/washboard, but would instead just be sitting on the wall like normal, as it is a free object devoid of interaction from the player (player cannot pick it up and move it around, it moves around due to wind, gravity etc.)

Further to that, I can see the soldier pressing jump... And jumping off the rope as they currently do? ;P

I bet its hard coded. Plus you need the jump function to drop down from the rope in many cases.

in my defence, not once did i say F---rope not even did i inply a choper would be involved

i can see lots more problems with the idea now ty dtacs, but you know what i say to problems. F**K problems, the NAZIs were a problem, we stoped them.

i hope that inspires some one to step up and take the fight to the enemy fight. we shall fight on the beaches, we shall fight on the landing grounds, we shall fight in the fields and in the streets, we shall fight in the hills; we shall never surrender to HARDCODEING

(what is a hard code?)

ive said my piece

hard code is something that is hard or impossible to do within the engine limits

is it like a legal thing like you need permission from like BF makers could BF producers change the engine?

i believe nothing is imposible especialy when i come to technologie, how this game has develeoped over the years is proof of that. we just need to start now fight the tyriney of Hardcoding let it never darken our door step again

your so negetive rampo. im try to get people to help out and solve problems, rather than complain about them.
well of point here but

im a bit dyslexic (i had to look that word up) and i find it hard to read large pasages of text teaching me to modify games and stuff, so i encorage others to do what i cant. new moders might feel discoraged to do some thing because they may get shot down by people that spend to much time on formes.

sorry if ive offended any one just wanted to rambel a bit befor this sugestion gets lock or i get kicked of the forme

Fastropes have been discussed to death and its a complete joke in the community because some people keep re-suggesting it even though it is HARDCODED(means impossible to add)

Its fine if you want to make a suggestion mate, just make sure it hasn't been asked before (yours hasn't) and make sure its properly formatted first as well. For example, an introduction and especially proof that the militaries around the world DO use abseiling in warfare situations.

Personally I'd prefer a system where you could simply climb the side of a building that has pipes and vents and ducts and whatnot...dam that would be cool. And a system where you could jump over medium walls by having a friend next to you.

He never said fastropes once. The thread became like this because people like you and bosco didn't read properly and derailed the thread.

You should stop talking like that. Never once have i seen you talk to anyone nicely on this forum since you joined.

Anyways this thing is obviously something that is hardcoded and completely useless.

Edit: one thing i will not tolerate is people like you talking like that to a dev that has also spent alot more time in the forums than you...

hey guys chill out, i just wanted to inspire people to not stop moding and trying to change something just because some one says hardcoded.

th3exiled said something about sometime things can be changed, all abit computer code for me but still

they used to believe that the planet was flat but some one whent beyond the norm and proved it wasnt,

there are many good ideas that get shut down way too soon because of that word no one has time to think about the problem and when it gets re-sugested it gets shot down again even quicker

thats jsut the point im trying to get across
