Paratrooper

[Ignato]

Greetings INF community, I actually got this thought after reading CoffeyCan's post and he mentioned a parachute. This gave me an idea to make an AS-map or standoff map which one team must parachute into the defending territory. I can imagine this would make pretty nice long range firefights. /infopop/emoticons/icon_smile.gif

I was thinking for the map to have a height of a tower and a half (that building in facing worlds). The player would start dropping and have to pull the chord at the desired time and shooting someone's parachute would cause a really unfortunate incident....*ahem*...splat. /infopop/emoticons/icon_biggrin.gif

If this idea is to be used in a map would the INF team have to make the parachute or is there some way to manipulate the environment? Such as Bastard'o's ladders.

you could use a low gravity zone, but you would have to attach the chutes somehow...

I got that same idea while playing CTF-Warrior. I was stuck at the top of the enemy base with no other way down but to jump. It'd be pretty sweet to be able to jump off and slowly glide down, although you'd be a sitting duck for any enemy defenders on the ground.

that would be the fun part.
