Chutes

[FLOOB]

Bailing out has become boring now that nailers can instantly .ef. Why don't we make it the way it used to be but add the option for the pilot to dump his chute so that he will descend faster. Or put a time limit so that the chute can't .ef within 30 seconds of bailing out.

This is true for k/h, k/s and so one, but there is still a minor difference: Bailing instead of riding it down gives you 60%-100% more score points.

It would bring back the challenge trying not to get shot after you bail.

am I understanding, you want people to have to ride a chute all the way down (or 30 sec) instead of hitting .ef ?

why wouldn't they just not hit o

Same reason they won't just not hit o now, they'll die. The new system really gave a huge unfair advantage to bailers over chute shooters. I understand giving bailers an alternative to not waiting for 5 minutes as their chute descends before they can reup. I'm just asking for a happy medium, I don't think 30 seconds is that much to ask. Chute shooting is one of the things that made this a great game, it's a shame that most players today will never know this aspect of the game.

I don't think that's the reason.

How is trying to kill a virtually helpless player just for spite something that made it a "great game?"

Same question here Floob, don't understand that at all.  About 90% of what you post looks like you're just trolling for fun, is this the case ?

same here...what

I always thought fighting and killing red guys was what made this game great............I guess I am doing it wrong

[RTHolmes]

Apparently some people consider shooting a defenceless, practically stationary non-combatant as a (and I'm quoting here) "challenge" ...

[ImADot]

Once you bail, you just died...same as if your plane exploded with you in it. What happens after you bail makes no difference to your score...you get a death and whoever shot your plane gets the kill. Forcing someone to remain hanging in their chute makes no sense and adds nothing to the game.
