Tuck and roll!

[Streaks]

If this has already been brought up, please just nuke this thread.


Could we possibly have a tuck and roll manuver for our lowley soldiers out there in the field who have to get down from a height that would normally hurt them? Please?? : ) Maybe just make it a 50/50 shot of reducing damage or not *shrugs*



Thanks

I think if the mapper wants you to jump down there he should put some stairs

Now what would be cool is if the backpacks wern't part of the player model and you could take them off and toss them down and then jump reducing the damage. Then press the grab key to pick it up. Backpacks would need to provide gear or something then otherwise there is no point in picking it up. Maybe in the future you would need a backpack to carry NVGs or binoculars or bandaids or something and then this could be implimented. Could someone in the military post information about what soilders normally would carry in their backpack into a combat zone?

Personally, I don't always depend on how the map is "intended". I'll often find my own way around a map and often, to get to a good ambush point, I have to drop off a ledge. Now, grant it, these are often 10-20+' drops but, a healthy person who's trained should be able to tuck and roll well enough to stand a good chance of having no damage (other than maybe scuffs or an ankle sprang) incurred(sp) from the drop.

That, and being able to lower oneself over a ledge to drop or just hide etc, would be cool : )


And yes, the removable backpack would be cool. But from what I've read it looks like they may be putting that in the game anyway : )

how the hell are you supposed to go down when you get on the red mini-tower?

Ive seen a foldable ladder, but not for a backpack...

I think

We should be able to tuck and roll, and we should be able to lower ourselves and I also think we should be able to lunge at people, and bound gaps.

Um, Tiffy had a really good post in a different thread; he doesn't post much, so you could probably find it pretty easilly.
