parachutes or not?...good idea or not?

Okay so recently i have been going around different surf servers and looking at the different modules they have...and there is this one particular module that had really caught my eye and that is to have parachute. so what would happen is that you would surf like normally and when you pressed e it opened a parachute while you're falling in the air. now with it open you were able to glide almost anywhere in the map if you had caught a ramp glitch and you opened it you could possibly save your self by landing on a platform. now every map had obstacles like you couldn't fly to high or that if you did you would have to end up falling a bout to fit in the space given to surf. i loved the idea of being able to fly a bit with parachutes. the only way to actually glide is that you would have have to gain speed and air by surfing. only then can you glide and strafe in the air. if you were to just jump and open it.. wouldn't do you much good. i'm hoping to see if i can get this approved be the sm's and approved by people on the dm server because with out approval they might not like it and leave and that is what i don't want happening.

Edit by Uragan:

Parachutes for the surf DM server. You can press E mid air and open it to avoid fall damage.

 

I'd be willing to try it out for a bit myself.

 

It's meant just for DM though so we wouldn't need to worry about people cheating on skill maps.

 

Surf and parachutes, rly? these two things cant be combined...

 

oh but they can be

 

Fail fag^^^

Yeah what Kner said.. xD
Does it even keep you speed?

 

omg i love that wolf how do i get it ME WANT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

YES it keeps your speed

 

You double-poster, you! There is an edit button

 

oh...there is isn't there....on a not related note here's a link to a demo i took of the parachute module...check it out

parachute101.dem

:D

 

pretty cool

Looks pretty cool to me could do some shots while using them and help against falling damage

 

you say this yet you voted no -_-

 

I think the best thing to do would be to try it on the server for one day to see how it works.

Also, this vote is pointless. Pretty much everybody who voted is an admin. We need the opinions of actual players.

 

Lol no.. It doesn't keep your speed. It just lets you survive falling and surf DM will instantly become dead because of that mod.

 

An explanation of how it will instantly become dead would be pretty cool.

And if it doesn't keep your speed, then that makes it quite balanced then.

 

now thats why im here...to stop those campers

 

Im sure im not the only one who thinks that using parachutes while surfing is stupid. I personally havent seen a surf server with this mod yet.
