I never thought that taking chutes out of this game would detract from it as much as it does. Bring back chutes to shoot !

They took it out?

Essentially yes. Chute pilots can end sortie the second that they bail. That's why you don't see them anymore.

Yea I'm sure buff guys doing historic drops would really appreciate that.

Ride that baby in from 30k with tail shot off would take how long?

Some reason people see chutes and get blood lust. I can't even remember making it to the ground in a chute under the old system.

Now that you mention it I don't see a lot of chutes. And to think I'm still waiting to hit the ground beofore exiting......

I guess when they bring back the sheep, the chutes can stay...... Will be a reason to float to the ground.

Errr.... Suave, it has been like that (in the Main Arena(s)) ever since i started playing this game. Im not sure what you mean there. You could always exit flight once you had bailed.

If this is an attempt at trolling another chute thread, im afraid Ill have to give it a 2/10... its really badly researched and stinky

Only a tard would open their chute at 30k.

How long have you been playing? It wasn't that long ago that you couldn't end sortie untill you were on the ground.

Not a troll, just want Hitech to know that giving bailers preferentail treatment over chute shooters makes the game much more lame for us chute shooters.

Yip, I agree, there was a time, you open the chute, you ride it to the ground before you could exit.

Mind you I couldn't tell you when the change came in as I'm still riding mine down....

Less than a minute isn't forever.

i agree.

it also gives the suicide-bail-after-bomb guys get an easy go of it.

they should at least have to float down into the town ack and take it like a man.

i never shoot chutes as a general rule, and i stilll find the lack of them a detraction from the old aceshigh.
