Parachutes


I'm pretty sure that pilots will get parachutes for ejecting, but what about Galaxy/HART passengers? An airborne-MAX assault would be cool/hell.

Yeah, they'd have them for ejecting I'd hope (or they'll just crash and burn), but it would be sweet if you could fly by with a transport and just drop everyone into a base via parachutes.

Before the flame masters get to you let me answer this one (seeing as how we're all recruits and all)

Everyone has spifft repulsor thingies in their armor that slow you down in a fall from altitude. So Yes, as far as I know MAX's and all others Can HALO out of the transports and drop in on poor unsuspecting bases

Make sure you read the dev interviews and things like that in addition to the normal pages of info. They have all kind of stuff like this.

I don't get it whats the point of dropships landing if you acn jump. Theres properly damage if you hit trees and you proberly can't shoot till your down. Maxs would need a few parashutes.Oh and your squad would be seperated as well as base defences can shoot you.

P.S. all infomation is Maybe not real

Right....


As far as I know only people have dampeners, and you fall rather slowly once you hit a certian altitude making you a really easy target and yu cant shoot back, when you jump you fall rapidly to a certian alt then the dampeners kick in and you fall slowly and casnt fire back making you easy pickin for base guns and snipers. Vehicles don't have these things and must be dropped in. It's more of a last ditch thing if your galaxy is about to get blown apart or if your gunship is getting hammered you can try to jump out, I can just imagine the fun of doing a fly by in a gunship splattering all the people trying to HALO out of a galaxy before it goes up heh.

I didn't think kinetic dampeners slowed you down. Aren't they basically just shock absorbers. You take damage when you hit the ground even with them. Obviously the higher up you are the more you're going to get hurt when you hit the ground. You lose a substantial amount of health when doing jumps from high altitude.

I also thought buggies and the small tanks had kinetic dampeners as well. If for some reason you need to bail out of a galaxy or something you're buggy won't blow up when it hits the ground.
